The 4 foot ditcher fits quite neatly in a small utility trailer, commonly provided in that fashion as a rental. (They have a smaller model that 2 people can lift into a pickup.) They also have larger models, commonly used by contractors. ------------------------------ Date: 30 Mar 2007 00:25:52 GMT From: Hans Bachner Subject: looking for SWCC software for Raid Array 3000 / HSZ22 Message-ID: A few weeks ago, I received a Raid Array 3000 (with the HSZ22 controller). Unfortunately, it came without the SWCC software. Looking around at the HP website I came up with a few SWCC kits (2.0, 2.2) but none of them includes HSZ22 support. According to the documentation, there should be a SWCC V2.2 kit containing support for this hardware. Apparently, SWCC came with a common client part and a hardware specific client part. The HSZ22-specific part is what I'm missing. The only software download on the HP website for the HSZ22 is a firmware kit :-( Several "Ask the Wizard" topics deal with this problem but the answers either contain outdated links or suggest to consult Google. I'd appreciate any pointer to a place where SWCC software for the HSZ22 is available for download. Maybe some kind soul still has the CD in his archive that originally came with the hardware... Thanks for your help, Hans. -- [...] a carefully configured Windows system, which nobody tampers with, may run stable for several days.

The only caveat is with some (older) Layered Product installations - you'd better $ SET PROCESS /PARSE=TRADITIONAL before starting the installation.

If you look at old(er) versions of the above files on your system, you may be able to determine when things got out of synch. ------------------------------ End of INFO-VAX 2007.177 ************************
