http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html
NOTE: If you remove the dynamically loaded ciss driver while it is in use, or if you remove
the statically loaded ciss driver at any time, you must perform a reboot. This is normal
behavior under these conditions, and is not affected by patch PHCO_36356.
• Automatic hot-plug is not detected.
The HP Smart Array Controllers do not automatically detect the hot-plug of internal disks.
Corrective Action: After replacing a physical disk, run the sautil command with the scan
option.

• Special considerations apply when upgrading a server with an MSA2300 Series enclosure
to HP-UX 11i v3 Application Release 0909.
HP-UX 11i v3 Application Release 0909 (AR0909) contains the RAID-01 B.11.31.0903 bundle.
Servers with an MSA2300 Series enclosure as part of the configuration have RAID-01 version
B.11.31.0906 installed. Updating the server with update-ux will not downgrade the RAID-01
driver, but running AR0909 with RAID-01 B.11.31.0906 is not a supported configuration.
To run AR0909 on a server with an MSA2300 enclosure, you must install the RAID-01
B.11.31.0909 bundle after updating the operating system. The 11.31.0909 bundle will be
available as a web release on the HP Software Depot website in September 2009. RAID-01
11.31.0909 provides support for HP StorageWorks MSA2300 Series enclosures, and defect
fixes.
No special considerations apply when upgrading servers that are not configured with an
MSA2300 Series enclosure to AR0909.
