Are there any other cards that we can replace this one with?
The way our system is set up is this way
SCSI controler 1 (Came with System)
Hdisk0 rootvg
Hdisk1 data
Hdisk2 data
6205 SCSI controller
Hdisk3 should be rootvg mirror but currently unmirrored
Hdisk4 data (mirror)
Hdisk5 data (mirror)
I have a 7025 Model F40
