ah the LUN issue. A touchy one it is indeed. As might be expected, there is the world way and the IBM way and as you might also expect, they ar ein fact different. To the world, LUN 0 and LUN 1 are harddrives. This extends into pre-SCSI and SASI times when the first devices were harddrives. In the NT kernel, 0 & 1 are assumed to be drives. Been that way since earliest beta. I would not hesitate a second on the AST. Indeed a hot system and one that can be a great server. Using the proprietayr IBM system that will not run OS2 is really sharp. Every once in awhile, I feel the necessity of getting a big stick and just beating the hell out of administrators. tehy get so concerned about cost here and cost there that having a piece of equipment work is a totally novel concept. My problem is that I never seem to use a big enough stick. teddy roosevelt was only partially correct, he should have said "speak firmly and without hesitation, when that fails beat the hell out of them with the biggest stick you can find so that you leave a lasting impression" There is 1 Reply.
