Do you intend to use it as your main storage controller, or for
external storage?  (In the case of the former, I then assume you
have also configured SRM to enable the boot ROM?  Because, from
there you can create SRM "DYA" logical volumes and in VMS seen
as "DKC", in your case).

For just one disk, these type of controllers may prove more of
a hassle than they may benefit you, I fear.
