Which RAID was it?  We have:

HSZ10 - SCSI/SCSI (RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 3 and 5)
SWXCR - EISA/SCSI (RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5)
HSZ40 - SCSI/SCSI (RAID 0 and 5)
HSD30 - DSSI/SCSI (RAID 0 and 5)
HSJ30 - CI/SCSI (RAID 0 and 5)

StroageWorks RAID Software (host based Striping and RAID-5 for VMS)
Polycenter Striping (RAID 0 for VMS)
ULTRIX Shadowing (RAID 1)
ULTRIX Striping (RAID 0)
OSF Shadowing (RAID 1)
Logical Storage Manager (RAID 0, 1 and 0+1)

From what's I heard it was a problem with the SWXCR used in the
DEC 2100 systems.  All the others should be alright.
