[comp.sys.sun] Emulex disks on 4/110

FAUCONNE@FRSIM51.BITNET (11/27/89)

I am about to expand the disk storage on a 4/110 used as a server.  A
vendor suggests an Emulex DAT15-760 650 Mb SCSI disk at a very attractive
price.  Any comments/experience of this disk on a similar configuration ?

You'll be much happier to spend the extra money and buy a disk that is
directly supported in the Sun format program.  Sun plays many little games
with their devices (open-systems is a myth) and you'll usually run into
many of these problems if you stray beyond the support list of products.

If you have the system integration skills go ahead.  I didn't know they
made disks.  I would make the deal such that I could return the disk
within 2 weeks if I couldn't get it working correctly.
