Re: New 5886

It Depends. :-)

The Correct IBM Answer is No.
The Correct answer if this is a production server is No.
The Correct answer if you don't want to break stuff is No.
If you are just messing around with old stuff and don't care about it, then yes, it does work.

Do remember that only 2 5886s can be in a single chain.

I am getting another 5886 disk expansion unit with a number of disk drives
in it.
I told my boss to get the cable to daisy chain off of the existing 5886
which is hooked up via:
Resource name . . . . . . . : DC06
Text . . . . . . . . . . . . : Storage Controller
Type-model . . . . . . . . . : 57B8-001
Serial number . . . . . . . : YL1128008130
Part number . . . . . . . . : 0000044V3298
Location : U789C.001.DQD0P72-P1-C10

Can I hook up this daisy chain cable live? If so, how? RTFM links ok.
