If not, what are the DR devices? >   I Based on what you've mentioned you have a single embedded drive shelf in  D your 2100.  At your console you've got DR drives from 0 thru 7.  DR I drives are USUALLY attached to a bus-based RAID controller, probably one  G of the SWXCR family, either PCI or EISA/ISA.  If you have no drives in  I the embedded shelf then the RAID controller is still presenting it's old  G configuration and you'll need to correct that or match it.  Correcting  G is usually easier.  SHOW CONFIG from SRM should display the controller   type and location.  I Most of the 2100s I've seen and used are capable of holding two embedded  I device shelves.  You'll need to connect them internally to either a SCSI  @ adapter or RAID controller.  They can be setup for a variety of C different configurations.  The shelves can support most of the SBB  B drives like RZ28, RZ29, mostly dependant on what the SCSI or RAID $ controller you're using can support.  G As far as the error message you got about the "run/stop switch."  This  G error refers to using older DEC disks that had a real push button that  H started and stopped the drives.  Some had path selection switches, too. F     But it does appear that you solved that problem, so enough of the F history lesson.  Unless you had a CIPCA, KFESA or KFPSA it would have F been VERY unlikely that you could have used SDI or DSSI disks on your F 2100 and certainly you shouldn't have had many configurations where a C drive capable of reading a CD on a 2100 should have had a run/stop  B button.  At least I don't think that you could connect a RRD50 to % anything that a 2100 would interface.    bob    ------------------------------  # Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 02:29:05 GMT 1 From: Michael Austin <maustin@firstdbasource.com> ( Subject: Re: TELNET PERFORMANCE OVER WAN? Message-ID: <RDHng.108868$H71.61031@newssvr13.news.prodigy.com>    BRANDON, JOHN M wrote:  Q > I would like some feedback on how to check for and tune performance issues with  > TELNET over the WAN. >
