6494.0. "RA230/plus docu and floppies wrong" by JGODCL::BRINKS (Peter Brinks, DTN 7889-9458 Logist. Eng/Tr Nijmegen) Wed Mar 19 1997 07:15

    Hello,
    
    I received two KZPAC modules, the new raid controller, also known
    as Raid array 230/plus.
    The raid controllers were shipped with the old documentation and the
    old floppies intended for the KZPSC.
    
    I assume this happens more often and people might use the wrong config
    utility (the old one) to configure them.
    
    I tried to copy the correct files from:
    SUBSYS::PUBLIC:[ASTRO.RELEASE.ALPHA.PLUTO_PLUS.V1_0_kit.RCU_V1_0] for
    the stand-alone rcu flop.
    This worked OK.
    Copying the unix_kit_v10.tar (stand-alone utilities for unix) didn't
    work. (the copying worked, but the tar xf command sees the file as
    a data file and is refusing to 'un-tar'.
    
    My questions: Is this packaging problem known?
    	          What will happen if the old rcu flop and the old unix   
                  on-line utilities floppy are being used to configure
    		  the kzpac? [This WILL happen]
                  Can anybody check if the file unix_kit_v10.tar is OK on
                  subsys? I copied via ftp to a dos floppy and via mtools
    		  to unix.
    Thanks,
    peter.
                                               

    In addition to previous note, can anybody tell me if 
    partnumbers have been assigned to the new configuration floppies
    for the KZPAC. I was able to find the correct partnumbers for
    the conf manuals but didn;t find the partnumbers of the configuration
    floppies.
