and the fact that it’s a dual port and you’re running short on PCI slots on your<br />

<strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> model 7017-S80. Due to the number of <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> models, the next step<br />

is to check if that adapter feature number 6205 is supported on your <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong><br />

model.<br />

A method to determine if an adapter is supported on your model of <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> is to<br />

check the <strong>IBM</strong> announcement letters or the <strong>IBM</strong> Sales manual. These are<br />

excellent sources of information. You can find them at the following URL:<br />

http://www.ibmlink.ibm.com/<br />

Select your country or region, then Announcements, then Announcements<br />

search. You can search from here, using the following keywords:<br />

3583 or 7017-S80<br />

The data in Example 1-1 is from the 3583 announcement letter 100-238, dated<br />

August 23, 2000. This example reflects the models supported <strong>with</strong> that adapter,<br />

and as you can see, feature number 6205 PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI<br />

Adapter is supported on the 7017-S80.<br />

Example 1-1 <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> announcement material<br />

Feature number 6205 PCI Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Adapter (LVD/SE <strong>with</strong> VHDCI<br />

connector) (requires AIX 4.3.3, or later). This adapter is used in the<br />

following <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> models:<br />

7013-S7A- 7015-S7A<br />

7017-S7A, 7017-S80<br />

7025-F40, 7025-F50, 7025-F80, 7025-H70<br />

7026-H50, 7026-H70, 7026-H80, 7026-M80<br />

7043-150, 7043-240, 7043-260, 7043-270<br />

7044-170, 7044-270<br />

7046-B50<br />

1.4.2 SAN Data Gateway attach<br />

Still using Figure 1-9 on page 20 as an example, suppose you want to attach the<br />

3583 <strong>with</strong> its six drives more than 12 meters away, which means that now you’re<br />

looking at attaching via fibre. Since the cost of the 2108 R03 is less than the G07,<br />

and since the G07 doesn’t support LVD, we’ll concentrate on the R03. You can<br />

see from the example that you’ll need feature number 2840 on the 2108 R03, but<br />

what adapter will you need? For that, let’s look at Figure 1-10 which is a part of<br />

the table you will see at the following Web site. We are showing just the piece<br />

relating to attaching to pSeries and <strong>RS</strong>/<strong>6000</strong> servers.<br />
