X86 Release Notes
Host Operating System Notes
The following section lists host-specific operating notes.
Upgrading qla2x00 RPM to hp_qla2x00 RPM
You must uninstall Secure Path before you upgrade from the qla2x00 binary RPM
to the hp_qla2x00 scripted RPM. The qla2x00 will remove the qla2300 module
from memory during an uninstall. Failure to remove Secure Path during an
upgrade may result in a kernel panic.
SWadmin Program
If you are using SWCC, do not use option 21 in the SWadmin program.
ProLiant BIOS Changes
A setting must be changed in the BIOS of a ProLiant server that has more than
three HBAs installed. If this setting is not changed, you may not be able to see all
attached devices. To change this setting, follow the steps below.
1. Press <F9> to access RBSU (ROM-Based Setup Utility) during POST. This
is normally after 5i DiskArray initialization.
2. Select System Options then OS Selection and then Linux.
3. Select Advanced Options then MPS Table Mode.
4. Select Auto Set Table.
5. Press <ESC> twice and then <F10> to save the configuration.
probe-luns and Secure Path
Do not issue the probe-luns command against qla2200 or qla2300 adapters while
Secure Path is loaded. This causes a kernel panic. An example of this command is
probe-luns -l -i qla2300.
Uninstalling Secure Path
Before uninstalling Solution Software, Secure Path software must be uninstalled
first. If this uninstall order is not followed, you cannot remove Secure Path kernel
modules.
