1. OEM Name: LSI 2. Product Name: MegaRAID Windows 2000 Driver (MRaid2K.sys) 3. Release Date: 02/20/2003 4. New Version Release: 5.38 5. Previous Version Release: 5.33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reason for Release (including Bug Fixes and Enhancements and Feature added) Version 5.38: ============ Bugs Fixed: ---------- 1) Change in the setup files, so that Scsiport driver should give correct DeviceNumber and Function Number to the miniport driver. 2) A timeout is implemented in the driver so that driver shouldnt wait infinitely for the Firmware to acknowledge the interrupt. 3) During Reset, Driver was not clearing all the Pending Commands whenever the Firmware is not able to complete it. 4) System was hanging after it wakes up from Hibernation/Standy on 471/493 controller. Driver needs to reprogram these SCSI chips before waiting for the firmware to initialize. Enhancements: ------------ 1) Support for SATA Controller added. 2) Support for the SCSI 320-2 processor added. Version 5.37: ============ Bugs Fixed: ----------- 1) Utilities are issuing 0xc3 calls for getting the logical drive statistics. We have seen some utilities are requesting 40LD statistics but send buffer less than 40LD statistics size. This is causing the system to crash. This bug has been fixed in the driver by returning all the calls with less buffer size (< 40LD statistics size) without copying any data successfully. Version 5.35: ============ Bugs Fixed: ---------- 1) System was not waking up after a hibernation/standby operation. This bug was caused by the driver. Driver was trying to access PCI_CONFIG space from the ScsiRestartAdapter in the driver. This bug has been fixed by accessing the PCI_CONFIG space from the ScsiSetRunningConfig entry point. 2) System gives a blue screen when one swaps the boot controller. This bug has been fixed by adding entries of all the supported controllers in the criticalDataBase section of the registry through changes in the oemsetup.inf file. Version 5.34: ============ Bugs Fixed: ----------- 1) New commmand has been introduced to enhance the performance for SCSI I/O on non-raid SCSI channel. 2) In case of cluster reset, Driver was waiting infinitely for all the commands to complete, resulting in the system crash/hang. This problem has been fixed by waiting for certain peroid of time for the outstanding commands to complete. If the commands are not completed in certain peroid of time, Driver completes all the outstanding with error and returns. 3) In case of Standby, driver was not waiting for the Firmware to get initialized, resulting in the driver sending commands to the firmware even when the Firmware is not initialized. The fix has been put in the driver. Driver is polling for the Firmware to get initialized before sending any commands to the Firmware. Version#: 5.33 ========= Bugs Fixed: ----------- 1) A single Tape drive was seen at TargetID 0 and TargetID 16 on the physical channel. One can attach up to a maximum of 15 devices on a single physical channel. All the requests coming for a physical channel with TargetID greater than 15 should be returned as Illegal request. This problem is fixed in the Driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Features not supported: ======================= 1) No merging of Sequential Reads and Writes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Installing Windows 2000 on a MegaRAID Array =========================================== These installation procedures are for the following MegaRAID controllers: Series 471 - MegaRAID Enterprise 1600 Series 475 - MegaRAID Express 500 Series 493 - MegaRAID Elite 1600 Series 494 - MegaRAID Elite 1650 Series 520 - MegaRAID SCSI 320-0 Series 520 - MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 Series 518 - MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Series 511 - MegaRAID i4 1) Use the Ctrl-M or WebBIOS utility to configure an array on the MegaRAID controller. 2) Start the installation procedures for Windows 2000 (Bootable Diskettes ONLY). 3) Press the F6 function key when you're prompted on the first blue screen and continue the installation. 4) Select the "S" option to select additional SCSI adapters. 5) Select "Have Disk " and insert the MegaRAID driver diskette and continue Windows 2000 installation. 6) Continue the installation procedures for Windows 2000. The installable array on the MegaRAID controller should auto detected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ File Listing ======= Date Time Size File Name ---- ---- ---- --------- 02/18/03 02:10p 12,257 mraid2k.cat 10/24/02 01:21p 377,856 mraid2k.pub 10/24/02 01:21p 24,423 mraid2k.sys 12/12/02 02:51p 4,526 nodev.inf 12/12/02 03:10p 8,873 OEMSETUP.INF 12/12/02 03:09p 5,294 TXTSETUP.OEM 02/20/03 01:47p 5,344 W2K538.txtDownload Driver Pack
