4.1 Installation DVD
The Installation DVD does not eject the DVD drive when you
reboot from the DVD Main menu.
4.2 Linux Boot Device
Regardless of which device you select to install the OS, the
boot record is always written to Device 0. As a result,
Linux will fail to boot if you delete or swap away Device 0.
For example, if you create three arrays in the BIOS--VOL-0,
VOL-1, and VOL-2--install the OS on VOL-1, then swap VOL-0
and VOL-2, Linux will fail to boot. Restore the original
array sequence and Linux boots normally. Ideally, you should
always install on Device 0.
4.3 FreeBSD Issues
- Power management is not supported under FreeBSD.
- maxView Storage Manager is not supported on FreeBSD. Use
ARCCONF to create and manage arrays.
4.4 AFM-700 Flash Backup Unit
Hot-plugging the AFM-700 supercapacitor module is not
recommended. Doing so may result in unusual status updates,
such as Preparing to Dead to Ready.
4.5 ATAPI Devices
Adaptec Series 7 controllers do not support ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD,
or tape devices.
4.6 Drive Compatibility Issues
- OCZ Vertex 4 SSDs are not supported in this release.
- With Seagate Constellation ES drives (eg, ST3500514NS) with
FW SN11, a medium error might result in SCSI command timeouts,
depending on the I/O load. This condition might be seen when
creating a logical drive with the 'build' initialization method.
- With Hitachi HUA721050KLA330 hard drives, the drive LED blinks
just once when using the CTRL-A BIOS 'Identify Drive' option.
The LED blinks continuously if blinked from ARCCONF or
maxView Storage Manager.
- With HP LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drives, backup fails with Adaptec
Series 7 controllers. WORKAROUND: Upgrade the drive firmware to
A63D using an on-board SAS or SATA controller, then try again.
4.7 System Compatibility Issues
- Promise J630 and J830 enclosures are not supported in this
release.
- uEFI-mode setup is not supported on systems with Supermicro
X9SCL-LN4F or X9DRi-F motherboards.
4.8 RAID 50/RAID 60, Max Drives
The maximum number of drives in a RAID 50 or RAID 60 differ
between maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, and the BIOS:
- BIOS and ARCCONF: 128 drives max
RAID 50 - From 2-16 legs with 3-32 drives/leg
RAID 60 - From 2-16 legs with 4-16 drives/leg
5
