Table 3 Minimum supported RAID-01 (ciss) versions for HP-UX 11i v3, by adapter (continued) Adapter Minimum driver version Smart Array P410i B.11.31.1005 Smart Array P411 B.11.31.1005 Smart Array P700m B.11.31.0903 Smart Array P711m B.11.31.1109 Smart Array P800 B.11.31.0712 Smart Array P812 B.11.31.1005 2 New and changed features in this release 2.1 New features The following features are new with this version of RAID-01: • Logical drives can now be created on physical disks larger than 2 TB.
4.1 For all Smart Array controllers • A newly-created logical volume might not be available. When you create a new logical volume on a Smart Array controller, you must run the ioscan command to make the volume available for use. • Unnecessary reboot occurs when removing the ciss driver. If you use the swremove command to remove the dynamically loaded ciss driver, the Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) can fail. This causes swremove to incorrectly reboot the system.
For more information, see the HP Smart Array SAS Controllers for Integrity Servers Support Guide at http://www.hp.com/go/smart-array-raid-docs. • HP-UX installation fails. Installation of HP-UX 11i v3 fails when installing to an array of eight 146 GB SAS disks configured as a single RAID 0 logical volume. Corrective Actions: ◦ Option 1: Install patch PHCO_36555. Patches are available from the HP IT Resource Center, at: http://itrc.hp.
