RAID is run to play with. Yank a drive out and put another in but in this
case I (or someone else) hasdnt screwed in the external tape drive cables
and when I moved the box the cable came out taking the SCSI chain with it.
<br>
<br>
All OK now but I've learnt a bit more about RAID today.<br>
<br>
Next problem is installing Novell 6.5 on a new IBM xSeries. I used to like
these machines but the last two we've bought have a very strange BIOS which
stops you from doing anything useful with IRQs. The machine assigns most
devices to the same IRQ and it supposedly sorts things out but if you put
any cards in such as SCSI or dense modem the machines play up big time and
we all think it's due to IRQ conflicts.<br>
<br>
I'm *really* not happy with these new machines.<br>

Yes, I have RAID on my main machine, but will hopefully never need to test it!
