o If a non-MaxIQ (generic) SSD is connected to the controller
on a lower port number than an Adaptec MaxIQ SDD, you cannot
use the ACU utility to add the MaxIQ SSD to the MaxIQ pool.
You must use Adaptec Storage Manager.
NOTE: Adaptec Q-series controllers do not have this limitation.
o On some Intel and IBM systems, when you try to run the ACU
utility, this message appears:
"Not enough free memory to load the utility!
Press any key to attempt loading the utility forcibly
OR Wait for the system initialization to be completed
[Default]"
This is normal. On Intel systems, wait for the system
initialization to be completed. Then the ACU will run. On IBM
systems, press any key when prompted to load the utility
forcibly.
o The ACU erroneously displays deleted logical drives in the
JBOD list. The logical drive(s) continue to appear in the
JBOD list until you delete all of the JBODs.
o With some enclosures, the ACU displays incorrect box/slot
information for managed disk drives; for example,
Exp/Phy instead of Box/Slot.
4.2 AFU Utility
o When running the AFU in Menu Mode, you can update (flash) only
one controller at a time. You must reboot the system before
updating the next controller.
o Flashing a 5-series high-port controller (51245, 51645, 52445)
with down-level firmware and an older version of the AFU crashes
the system. To recover, you must use a Mode 0 reset using the
latest firmware version. See the user's guide for details on
the Mode 0 method.
4.3 Creating an Array from the Adaptec Installation CD
When you create an array with Adaptec Storage Manager in
bootable-CD Mode, the maximum size of the array is 2 TB.
4.4 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.
4.5 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.
4.6 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.
4.7 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 2
