1. Although HP has decided not to release the A6974A adapter card, the IETHER-00

driver software will remain in 11i to support future cards.

2. The September HWE bundles lack the necessary LVM patches needed to avoid

potential data corruption when using the Business Copy feature with the VA7110

and VA7410 arrays. The HWE bundles for December 2002 include these required

LVM patches.
