User`s guide

the Logical Drive Creation wizard is not saved after the
logical drive is created. It is always disabled.
WORKAROUND: enable power management for the logical
drive with the Set Properties operation.
4.6 ATAPI Devices
Adaptec Series 7 controllers do not support ATAPI CD-ROM, DVD,
or tape devices.
4.7 Drive Compatibility Issues
- With OCZ Vertex SSDs with FW 1.4, logical drives comprising
these SSDs will fail under I/O load. WORKAROUND: upgrade to FW 1.5.
- With Seagate Constellation ES drives (eg, ST3500514NS) with
FW SN11, a medium error might result in SCSI command timeouts,
depending on the I/O load. This condition might be seen when
creating a logical drive with the 'build' initialization method.
- With Hitachi HUA721050KLA330 hard drives, the drive LED blinks
just once when using the CTRL-A BIOS 'Identify Drive' option.
The LED blinks continuously if blinked from ARCCONF or
maxView Storage Manager.
- With HP EH4859 LTO-4 tape drives, backup fails with Adaptec
Series 7 controllers. WORKAROUND: upgrade to FW AD63D using
an Adaptec Series 5 controller, then try again.
4.8 System Compatibility Issues
- Promise J630 and J830 enclosures are not supported in this
release.
- uEFI-mode setup is not supported on systems with Supermicro
X9SCL-LN4F or X9DRi-F motherboards.
4.9 RAID 50/RAID 60, Max Drives
The maximum number of drives in a RAID 50 or RAID 60 differ
between maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, and the BIOS:
- BIOS and ARCCONF: 128 drives max
RAID 50 - From 2-16 legs with 3-32 drives/leg
RAID 60 - From 2-16 legs with 4-16 drives/leg
- maxView Storage Manager:
Assumes 2 legs for RAID 50/RAID 60 (non-selectable)
RAID 50 3-32 drives/leg (64 total)
RAID 60 4-16 drives/leg (32 total)
4.10 RAID 10 Rebuild Order
With a degraded RAID 10 logical drive, the drive is rebuilt
one leg at a time, not in parallel.
4.11 Verify with Fix
The Verify with Fix operation (in maxView Storage Manager and
ARCCONF) is NOT available when:
1. The logical drive has a non-redundant RAID level
2. Other tasks are in progress on the logical drive
3. The logical drive is in a non-optimal or impacted state
4. The logical drive is Quick initialized
4.12 ARCCONF Backward Compatibility
ARCCONF is backward compatible with older Adaptec controller
