WARNINGS
Tag Queueing Enable tag queueing only for the SCSI disk drives which are officially tested and
approved by Mylex Corp. for the DAC960 and IBM for the DMC960. Otherwise, it is
strongly recommended to disable tag queueingto avoid serious problems.
Standby Drives If a SCSI disk drive is not defined to be part of any physical pack within a system drive, it
is automatically labeled as a standby drive. If any SCSI disk drive within a system drive
fails, data on a standby drive may be lost due to the standby replacement procedure. This pro-
cedure will overwrite the standby drive if the failed disk drive is configured with any
level of redundancy (RAID levels 1, 5, and 6) and its size is identical to the size of the
available standby drive.
Therefore, in spite of the fact that the standby drives are physically connected, the system
denies any kind of access to them, so that there would be no chance of accidental loss of
valuable data.
