4.10 SLES 11 Boot Device Migration Issues
By default, SuSE Linux uses the 'by-id' method to identify
drives/partitions on the boot device. As a result, migration
from one controller to another (eg, ASR-8885 to ASR-81605ZQ)
fails because the original boot drive ID is not found on the
new controller.
WORKAROUND: Switch to the "by-uuid" method, then perform the migration.
Step #1: Use the blkid command (built-in utility) to find the UUIDs of file systems
sles11sp1boot:~ # blkid
/dev/sda1: UUID="4512cf7d-4e22-4dfa-8991-4084dae41409" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sda2: UUID="b144a0a2-b7fc-47fd-8459-ba40d0f663cd" TYPE="ext3"
Step #2:
(a) cd /etc
(b) edit fstab file
(c) Change the "by-id" names of file systems to their corresponding "uuid" names found in Step #1
Note: Make a backup of the fstab file before modifying it.
Step #3:
(a) cd /boot/grub
(b) edit menu.lst file
(c) Change the "by-id" names of file systems to their corresponding "uuid" names found in Step #1
Note: Make a backup of the menu.lst file before modifying it.
Step #4:
(a) Shutdown the SUSE system
(b) Change the HBA/controller
(c) Boot the system
4.11 uEFI BIOS Issues
o The uEFI utility may become unresponsive after 15-30 minutes
of continuous use where you perform a large number of steps
or continuously navigate through multiple screens (array
creation, deletion, viewing array properties, etc.).
WORKAROUND: Restart the server if uEFI becomes unresponsive.
o Using "FW Update from Media" and "Save Support Archive" in
the same uEFI session may cause the system to become
unresponsive.
WORKAROUND: Restart the server if uEFI becomes unresponsive.
o uEFI-mode setup is not supported on Supermicro X9SCL-LN4F
and X9DRi-F motherboards.
4.12 BIOS Feature Disparity: Selectable Performance Mode
In the Legacy (CTRL-A) BIOS, the Selectable Performance Mode
option is enabled for controllers operating in HBA Mode. This
differs from maxView Storage Manager and ARCCONF, which disable
Selectable Performance Mode if the controller is in HBA Mode.
4.13 Simple Volume Support
In this release, you can create a maximum of 128 Simple Volumes in
maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, or the BIOS.
4.14 Auto-Volume Mode Limitations
Changing a controller into Auto-Volume mode (ARCCONF/BIOS) is not
supported if the configuration includes any logical device type
other than Simple Volume, including a maxCache Device. The mode
switch from RAID mode to Auto-Volume mode is blocked if any other
type of logical volume exists (including maxCache). After
switching to Auto-Volume mode, you can create and delete Simple
Volumes only in maxView Storage Manager, ARCCONF, and the BIOS.
