I've got 2 more questions related to future directions.

1. Given an existing "classic" nodebus node, and a V7 UNIX node with 2 boot
hosts, is the ATS still the appropriate solution to share data (and
potentially control) between these  2 & 1/2 :-) nodes?

Given a system with 2 boot hosts, each of which has it's own "sub node",
that is each cabinet (2 total) has redundant fiber nodebus switches, and
CP's but that is all committed as one "node". Should we connect the 2 sets of
switches with the gigabit uplinks, or should we just make 100M fiber
connections between the 2 sets of switches?

ASCII ART system architecture follows:


          +--------------+                      +-----------------+
       +--|   A Switch   +......................|   A Switch      |--+
       |  +---------------                      +-----------------+  |
       |                                                             |
       |  +--------------+                      +-----------------+  |
       |  |   B Switch   |......................|   B Switch      |  |
       |  +--------------+                      +-----------------+  |
       |             |                             |                 |
       |  +---------------+                      -----------------+  |
       +--| 1x8 with CP's |                     | 1x8 with CP's   |--+
          +---------------+                      -----------------+


I've omitted the CP's connections to FBM's for clarity, and of course the
Ix8's have NCNI's, and there are WP's and AW's connected to the switches. The
dotted lines are the connections I'm asking about.


Thanks for any input on this.
