Every SCSI and Fibre Channel storage disk currently sold by HP that appears in the supported options list for a supported
AlphaServer are supported for use in a cluster on a shared bus.

Some legacy disk devices are not supported for use on a shared bus. TruCluster Server supports the following list of disk
devices on shared storage. Any SCSI or Fibre Channel storage disk manufactured by HP later than the ones in the following
list, and appearing in the supported options list for a supported AlphaServer, is supported.

The HP Fibre Channel Tape Controller, Modular Data Router (MDR), and Network Storage Router (NSR) are Fibre Channel-
to-SCSI bridges that allow a SCSI tape device to communicate with other devices on a Fibre Channel. Tapes and tape
libraries supported by the MDR or NSR are supported for use in a TruCluster when deployed on the MDR or NSR.

The following tape controllers and modular data routers are supported on shared storage:

340654-001 Fibre Channel Tape Controller
152975-001 Fibre Channel Tape Controller II
163082-B21 (3R-A2673-AA) Fibre Channel Modular Data Router (MDR)
