    As Clay said, VMS will only autoconfigure the first LUN. You need
    explicit SYSGEN CONNECTs to get the other LUNs.

    After that, it works quite well with VMS.

    (Years ago, I talked to one of the engineers for the 604X. He confirmed
    that one of their test machines was a VAXstation running VMS and that
    they had made firmware changes so that it behaved well.)

    For the most part, you can even MSCP serve these units. If you start
    thrashing the disks, I have seen them go into a Mount Verification that
    could not be cleared without rebooting the machine. (VMS 5.5-2)

    Good luck!
