The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Yes I strongly suspect there is no 'hard stop' on doing this with a four
core, at least not from a 'would it function' standpoint. However I
guarantee that it puts you into an 'Unsupported Configuration' situation
and then if you call for support IBM may very well exercise the clause
in your contract that says you must remove all items from the
configuration that are unsupported before they will help you. Clearly
removing much of your disk capacity wouldn't be good for continued
operation of your system. :-)

if you have a 6 or 8 core, you can put a 5887 off the SAS port,
and that same internal CEC Disk controller will drive all 32 drives.
There's quite a bit of evidence suggesting that the same 32 drive configuration would work off the 4-core 720 SAS port, but it's not permitted in the configurator for "marketing reasons". Dr Franken should test that. Just order a refurbished 5887 w/ disks off Ebay.
