We have several DECstation 2100s with multiple SCSI disks.
These are server machines, typically with a small boot/usr/swap disk
and several larger disks for file storage. An example would be
one Connor 3100 disk (internal) and three WREN VIIs (external).
I'd like to add a fourth WREN VII to these systems, but worry
about the ability of the 2100 to handle this configuration.
Discounting cable length limits (which I know about)
and configuring the kernel properly to handle the disk (also known),
can anyone forsee any problems with adding the fourth external disk
(for a total of five reasonably fast SCSI disks)?
Is anyone successfully pushing a 2100 as a file server with
a similar configuration?
Thanks.
