OEM Name : Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid35x.sys) Engineering Release date : 12/05/2000 Previous Version Release : 2.67 New Version # : 2.68 Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) 1. The timeout value has been increased from 2 sec to 60 sec in case of stand by condition. This increase has been done because the adapter cache was not able to flush in such a short time.We have tested by increasing the time from 2 sec to 6 sec and it works fine.But inorder to be sure that all the cache has been written we are increasing the time to 60 s OEM Name : Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid35x.sys) Engineering Release date : 11/15/2000 Previous Version Release : 2.66 New Version # : 2.67 BUILD TYPE : FREE RELEASE TYPE : INTERNAL Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) Bug Fixed: 1) This version contains the fix for the number of pending commands in case of shutdown.When our controller was configured as a boot controller our driver used to receive write commands after shutdown commands. For these write, the number of pending commands were incremented 2 times and incremented only 1 time while completing.So our internal queue used to get full. We have commented out the portion of code where it is getting incremented twice. 2) The mapping of physical drive to the logical drive was incorrect when seen from the power console utility. There was some problem in the initialization of the Adapter Count value. This has been taken care in this version. Enhancements : None. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OEM Name : Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid35x.sys) Engineering Release date : 11/07/2000 Previous Version Release : 2.65 New Version # : 2.66 Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) BugFix: 1) In Windows 2000 the Power Button can be configured as a shutdown button for ACPI complaint systems. When such a power button is pressed under heavy I/O conditions OS used to hang. The Driver was not handling the Shutdown/Flush related commands properly which caused this Hang. This release has the Fix for the same. 2) In continuation to problem 1, when the system is shutdown or restarted under heavy I/O conditions, some of the flush related commands take long time to complete and driver finds the controller busy for normal I/O requests for long time. OS will send Reset Bus commands to the controller if the normal I/O commands are not completed within specified timeout period. These Reset Bus Commands will also get timedout from Firmware in these cases. In such cases driver was thinking that the Adapter is dead and used to disable the BusMastering capability of the Controller.This was wrong as Controller used to get free after some time and we can continue processing the I/O commands.In this release the BusMaster disable code is removed and the driver will wait for the controller to become free for Reset Bus Commands. 3) SNMP Utility sends one Ioctl call to the Driver to get the BaseAddress of the Controller's MemoryMapped Region.The Utility expects this address to be the Physical Address exactly as found in the PCI Config space of the Controller.The Driver was returning the System Mapped Virtual Address instead. This release has the Fix for the same in the Driver. 4) When the Driver receives the Data Transfer Requests for the Non-Disk Devices connected to our controller, Some times Driver will not be able to send the Data Transfer requested to/from the device.In these cases Driver has to set actual data transferred in the DataTransferredLength feild in the Input Request. The Driver was setting the DataTransferred feild in the Input Request equal to the DataTransfer requested. This release has the fix for the same in which the driver will set the DataTransferred feild in the Input Request equal to the actual data transferred to/from the device. Enhancements: None Features: None Features not supported: 1) No merging of Sequential Reads and Writes. Known Restrictions/Bugs: None Suggested Areas to Test: None --------------------------------------------------------------------- EARILER RELEASE NOTES --------------------------------------------------------------------- OEM Name : Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid35x.sys) Engineering Release date : 10/19/2000 Previous Version Release : 2.64 New Version # : 2.65 Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) BugFix: 1) Bug Fixed for the "Unsafe Removal of the Device" Message occuring due to the migration of Logical Drive from one RAID level to another RAID level. Driver used to give the Inquiry String for the Logical Drive based on the RAID level. Now we are giving the Inquiry String based on the Vendor Name. Features:None Features not supported: 1) No merging of Sequential Reads and Writes. Known Restrictions/Bugs: None Suggested Areas to Test: None ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OEM Name : Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid35x.sys) Engineering Release date : 09/19/2000 Previous Version Release : 2.63 New Version # : 2.64 Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) BugFix: 1. In Cluster enabled environment, User unable to create 8th logical drive. Bug was fixed for 8th logical drive, so user can create all 8 logical drives in Cluster environment. 2. Driver receives Write calls after OS send SHUTDOWN command to driver. This results in dirty cache in Firmware. This fix is done for Windows 2000 OS. When driver receive write call after SHUTDOWN command, driver sends additional flush command to firmware to flush each write commands. Enhancements: 1. In Cluster environment each node can have their own dedicated logical drives which not shared by two nodes. We called as Mixed Mode Cluster Support (Unbalanced cluster). 2. In order to Synchronize driver and firmware, driver sends Synchronize command as the very first command to Firmware. So all the dirty pending commands will be purged at the beginning of new session. 3. Implemented Queuing for timeout Event id and sluggishness. 4. Included Nodev.inf file to associate Processor Type devices and Virtual Devices Found during hardware Detection by Windows 2000 with No Driver. Features: 1) Hibernation and Standby mode 2) Crash Dump with Heavy io Features not supported: 1) No merging of Sequential Reads and Writes.
