We're thinking of buying a uVAX/VAXstation 3100 to integrate into our LAVC. The
question is whether `MSCP-device sharing' works with SCSI devices. Our sales
rep asked somebody and was told that it probably ought to -- that's nice,
but we are still cautious since we don't want to buy a system and then discover
that it won't do what we want. Does anybody have experience (good/bad) in this
arena?
It seems pretty clear that a uVAX3100 can get at other disks in the cluster
(DSSI, RA81, etc) on uVAX3400's and a VAX8250, but will they be able to share
the VS3100's disks?
Thanks for any help,

The SCSI disks work fine for MSCP shared disks. We have both DEC and 3rd party
drives on our VAXStation 3100's and 3100 model 38s.
