    All,

    I have attached a JPG image of a proposed SSA loop configuration. I would
    like your feedback on it if you don't mind. Here is the scenario...

    I have (5) 7133-020 drawers and (5) hosts. There are 80 disks in the
    drawers (all 5 drawers are full).

    Currently, I have 36 devices in loop A and 52 in loop B (this is just the
    way it is now - I did not wire it up).
    Loop A is broken down 32 drives and 4 hosts (5 counting the host the map
    was drawn from).
    Loop B is broken down 48 drives and 4 hosts (5 counting the host the map
    was drawn from).
    After adding the last 8 drives I am getting SSA_DEGRADED_ERROR on my hosts.

    Please take a look at the JPG and offer your opinions.

    The goal of the proposed changes is to keep the front 8 drives isolated
    from the read 8, as they contain different data. Currently, front and rear
    drives cross over all over the place.

    Thanks, Bill.
