Well I had a link to it on my links page but the fine folks at IBM have
decided that since V5R3 is out of service they should save a dime by
pulling those pages. Jerks.

So from memory if you have FC #2726, #2740, #2748, and #2778 those are
the 'Old' style striping. Starting with the FC #2757, #2780, #2782,
#5776, all have the new striping.

Now here's the secret. Just STOP RAID on those drives FIRST. Then insert
the old card and then start RAID again.

I remember this was the SCSI adapters, but I can't remember which ones. I think it was the 4779 and earlier used the old method and the newer SCSI adapters used the new ones. But it's a good guess only.

Subject: RAID adapters

Question for the hardware guys. I remember reading a while ago that starting with a certain model RAID adapter that the stripping was slightly different and that once you had drives attached to this adapter you could not move the RAID set to an older generation adapter. The drives would have to be restriped. Does anyone have documentation as to which adapters support which stripping method?

Thanks
