Dear All

Sorry for next maybe naive question:

I've just got V440 & 3310 SCSI RAID array. I plan to connect them.
V440 has external SCSI port (probably U320 LVD LSI,1030).
S3310 has U160 LVD interface.
According to S3310 web specifications, V440 is not "supported" host
for S3310. According to S3310 Release Notes
( http://docs-pdf.sun.com/816-7292-17/816-7292-17.pdf)
V440 is also not supported.
According to above Release Notes, supported host adapters are:
SUN PCI Dual Ultra3 X6758A (for Solaris) or Adaptec 39160 (for Windows).
Nothing about LSI 1030 ...
So the question is: will they (v440 & S3310) talk each other and
will it be good solution. Or should I order additional PCI card (X6758A).

Also: Recently, there was a query about S3310 "dual host" connected to
two V440. But I've not seen a summary. Maybe I missed something because
of MyDoom ??? So, is it possible? Which mode is preferred/better:
single bus or dual bus? Any other trick of trade?

Thanks for your valuable advices.

Kind regards,

GB
