Managers,

This may be a little bit off-topic, but some of you may have experience
with this: I have/had a 2 member Tru64 cluster connected to a HSG80
raid controller. I set this up more than 5 years ago. We're retiring
the alpha servers and one of them had a hardware problem and has been
shutdown. I'm replacing the alpha servers with a couple of opteron
servers running linux. I took the fiber channel card out of the
retired alphaserver and stuck it in one of the opteron servers and
it is recognized as an Emulex LP8000. The other alpha server is still
running and accessing the HSG80. What I'm wondering is if I could
easily unmount from the running alphaserver a no-longer used hsg80 raidset
(with other hsg80 raidsets still used) and connect the linux opteron
server to the hsg80 and reformat the raidset and access it on linux ?

Dirk
