Host considerations

This section contains information and important reminders about the host servers.

Otherwise, you may not be able to see all attached devices. To change the setting:

1. Press F1 to ac cess the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) during POST.

This is normally after 5i Disk Array initialization.

2. Select System Options > OS Selection>Linux.

3. Select Advanced Options > MPS Table Mode.

4. Select Auto Set Table.

5. Press ESC twice, and then press F10 to save the configuration.

Host type for Linux

For smooth system operation, set the host type for Linux to Sun Solaris except in a LifeKeeper Cluster.

Probe-luns and Secure Path

A kernel panic occurs when the probe-luns command is issued against FCA2214, FCA2214D C,

and A6826A adapters while Secure Path is loaded. An example of this command is: probe-luns

-l -i qla2300.
