4.3 Creating an Array from the Adaptec Installation DVD
When you create an array with Adaptec Storage Manager in
bootable-CD Mode, the maximum size of the array is 2TB.
4.4 UnixWare and OpenServer
Adding or moving controllers in an existing UnixWare or OpenServer
system may cause some device resources to change, which may lead
to the operating system being unable to boot. Currently, there
is no workaround available in the operating system. Before
installing the operating system, make sure all PCI devices are
either enabled or installed.
4.5 OpenServer 6.0
Arrays may not be displayed correctly, even after you restart
your computer.
To resolve the problem:
As root, run 'resmgr -r -m vtoc' until it fails. Then, as
root, run '/etc/conf/bin/idconfupdate -f'. Then, reboot.
4.6 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 2
If your boot array is installed on the controller, and the boot
OS is SLES10 SP2 with driver version 1.1.5-2458, you must add
'aacraid.wwn=1' to the kernel boot command line. Alternatively,
install the latest aacraid driver.
4.7 Using the Controller with an Adaptec S50 JBOD Enclosure
Temperature warnings from the Adaptec S50 JBOD Enclosure with
firmware version T016 are not shown in Adaptec Storage Manager
(or on the enclosure). To correct the problem, upgrade to the
latest firmware version.
4.8 Hot-adding Disk Drives
o If you hot-add multiple disks to a large configuration (100
disk drives or more), it may take a significant amount of
time before those disk drives appear in Adaptec Storage Manager.
o With Intel Backplanes AXX4DRV3GEXP and AXX6DRV3GEXP, if a drive
bay is empty when the enclosure is powered up, then a SATA disk
drive is hot-added into the empty bay, the controller does not
detect the new disk drive. To work around this issue, remove
and re-insert the SATA drive.
4.9 SuperMicro Disk Drive Enclosures
o Due to an auto backplane detection issue with SuperMicro
SC836TQ enclosures, the red fault LED does not go on when
a failed member of an array is pulled from the enclosure,
for both SGPIO and I2C modes. WORKAROUND: Use the BIOS
utility to force the backplane type to I2C or SGPIO.
o If the controller does not detect disk drives installed in a
SuperMicro M28E2 Mobile Rack, use backplane SAS connectors
marked with "SAS In" only.
4.10 Using the Controller with a Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA Drive
To ensure reliability when using Adaptec 2-series and 5-series
controllers with a Seagate Barracuda ES.2 1TB SATA Drive
(ST31000340NS), Adaptec recommends using Seagate firmware
version AN05 or SN06 or higher.
