[HECnet] VMS Bound Volume Sets...

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

Bind sets are hell to restore. Which is probably why Hoff is against them. 
A RAID controller is a good idea: form shadow sets and stripe them. The Mylex 960 series can handdle RAID volumes up to 36 GB (IIRC). So you'd need another controller. Not all controllers are supported b VMS, e.g.: kZPCC.

in one VMS device, but only have 36GB drives, so would like to span 
data across two disks and form a logical drive.

Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts - Hoff seemed to think it was 
a bad thing to try/do.

What about using a hardware RAID controller, a la Smart Array?   (If it
is an AlphaServer or Integrity system of course, in this case.)   I use
an SA6400 successfully to do that, in one of my rx2600s.
