[comp.os.vms] Problem with Emulex SC41/Eagles on 8550

I am posting this for a colleague.  Please reply to me and I will pass it on.

  Problem with Emulex SC41, Fujitsu Eagles on VAX 8550:

  Can anyone throw any light on the following problem -

  While using BACKUP/IMAGE to copy from one 'Eagle' to another we get
  'SYSTEM-F-VOLINV Volume is not software enabled' part way through the disk
  copy.

  Errlog message - ERL$LOGMSCP 'Unexpected end message', Class Driver /DISK/,
  MSCP$W_STATUS 'Host buffer access error, Non-existent memory error', followed
  by Controller reset

  Our Configuration is: VAX 8550, 20 Mb

  BI with	DWBUA	KDB50	KLESI	DEBNT

  Unibus with
	1	DMR 1Mb
	2	DMC 1/2 Mb
	3	DMR 1/4 Mb
	4	SC41/MS (no delay  Rev F) + 2 Eagles M2351A
	5	UDA50	10 micro sec delay

  We think the problem may be due to controller incompatibility with the
  Unibus - does anyone have 'Eagles' running OK in this or similar
  configuration?

  Thanks in advance for your comments	

  Julia Smith

Well, this is a little more general, but:

Has anyone had problems with M2361(A) Eagles? I have heard some nasty
things about the drive's reliability.
