====================================================================

V.)    Known Issues.

* Support for Clustering and Multi_LUN is not available in this
  release.

* CD-ROM boot installation issues.
  When installing Solaris 8, Unixware 7.1.X, or OpenUnix 8, you 
  must use that OS's bootable floppy disk method to install the OS. 
  Alternately, you may use a CD-ROM attached to other HBA's or 
  onboard controllers (i.e IDE CD-ROM). Please consult your OS's 
  installation manual for floppy disk installation instructions. 
  Note: You still may have a CD-ROM attached to the Mylex RAID 
  controller for installing OS from CD, but not to boot from.

* The list of qualified hard drives is updated as qualifications 
  are completed.  Please consult the Mylex web site at www.mylex.com
  for the most recent information.

* Configuration on Disk (COD) save and restore is not available 
  with GAM at this time.  It is however, available using iDACUTIL.

* Performance issues have been seen when using flat SCSI ribbon 
  cables instead of higher quality twisted-pair cables.  This is 
  especially true when attached to external devices like CD-ROMs.

* With certain SAF-TE enclosures the Enclosure Details tab of GAM
  may not display any information.

* Issues have been seen when using some U320 hard drives with 
  downlevel code.  Check with your drive manufacturer to be certain
  you have the most recent code.

* Operation with Mylex external RAID controllers is not fully 
  implemented, and problems may occur if they are mixed in a 
  system.

* Erratic behavior has been observed with some U320 enclosures and 
  SAF-TE enclosure services.  Contact your enclosure manufacturer
  for their latest updates.

  • Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.

  • Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
