    It sounds like everyone agrees that it should not matter which scsi bus or which slot a scsi card is installed in.

    Thanks to all who replied (Donna F., Stephan O., Jeff C.)!

    I have a quick question I think:

    Are there limitations to what scsi interfaces on what busses a K570 can boot from?

    We are going to be getting a 2nd K570 to MC/SG to an existing K570 we have. Our current setup has both mirror drives on the same scsi bus that is connected to the scsi that is built into the main Core I/O board. I want to have the mirrored disks on different SCSI busses.

    My question is, can HPUX / K570 boot off a drive connect to a A2969A HSC SCSI card installed in a HSC Expansion I/O on the K570?

    I did not know if there is a limitation as such that you can only boot off specific SCSI cards or busses.

    Any info is greatly appreciated.

    - Justin
