HACMP/6000 Version 3.1.1 Now Supports 7131-105           April 1, 1996

           HACMP/6000 Version 3.1.1 Now Supports The                            
            7131 SCSI Multi-Storage Tower Model 105                             
=========================================================================       
                                                                                
HACMP/6000 Version 3.1.1 now supports the 7131 SCSI Multi-Storage               
Tower Model 105, offering low-cost storage expansion and a low-cost             
mirrored solution for high system availability when using two 7131              
towers in an HACMP cluster.  Up to four RISC System/6000 systems can be         
configured with the 7131 SCSI Multi-Storage Tower Model 105 in a                
non-concurrent mode of operation, such as stand-by or mutual takeover.          
                                                                                
Attachment of the 7131-105 requires either the SCSI-2 Differential             
Fast/Wide Adapter/A (FC 2416) or the Enhanced SCSI-2 Differential               
Fast/Wide Adapter/A (FC 2412).  Up to two enclosures are supported per          
SCSI-2 bus.  No tapes or CD-ROMs can be installed in the 7131-105 in            
an HACMP cluster.  No APAR/PTF is required for HACMP support of this            
device.  The HONE Configurator (CFRS6000) will be updated on 5/14/96            
to provide this support.  The PC Configurator (PCRS6000) will be                
updated on 4/23/96.
