Here is a summary.
The MYLEX DAC960 identified in the firmware is a KZPAC-xx. It requires a
diskette with configuration utility, which is in a box named
StorageWorks. The diskette is "RAID configuration utility for Alpha".
Put it in, go to SRM console (halt the system) and then go to AlphaBIOS
(type "al"). Choose "Run utility from a diskette" and type one of these:
"swxcrmgr" (older models) or "ra200rcu" (newer models). (quote Nikola M)

The size of the disks and information will be available in the
configuration utility. Other information provided was some more specific
information about logical disk size limitations of those series of
controllers. They are limited to a 32GB size limitation. The limitations
is for raid sets as well as jbods.

Thanks again to everyone.

Managers, I have a AS4100 with a Raid controller identified as a MYLEX
DAC960 when doing a show dev from SRM. I am trying to get specific
information about the exact model of this controller. I believe it is
one of 3 types, KZPAC, KZPCC or KZPSC.

1. How can I tell exactly which controller this is?
2. Can I configure the controller raid set/jbod by running using run
bios drv0 or do I need an rcu? 3. How can I get disk information (size)
of the disks installed?

Thanks
