   Thanks!  That is the type of information I was looking for.  I already
knew about needing to have the 3.6 OS and thought that was all I needed,
that is until I talked to someone who tried it and found out that wasn't
enough.
   One reply I got from a SGI engineer said that if you buy non-SGI hardware
and don't have SGI install it you can't expect it to work.  He obviously
DIDN'T READ my mail, because I had said ALL the hardware WAS SGI, SGI
installed it and WAS to maintain it.  Tried to pass the buck.
   Thanks again for the info and we do have a storager board.
