   New features that are introduced with the controller firmware version
   05.4x.xx.xx or newer will not be available for any FAStT storage server
   controllers without the controller firmware version 05.4x.xx.xx 
   installed. Please contact your IBM service representative or IBM 
   resellers for purchasing info. 
     
   
    
=======================================================================

1.2  Limitations
---------------------

1. In the Storage Manager 8.4 Client, Storage Partitioning must be
   enabled with the host type of 'linux' selected and the UTM must be
   removed from the 'Linux' storage partition. Otherwise the correct
   drive information is not presented to the Linux operating system.

2. When updating Firmware or NVSRAM with high disk activity a
   controller may become unresponsive during the update. IBM recommends
   that disk I/O be stopped during these code updates.

3. Storage Manager prompts you for a password if all hard disk
   drives are removed from the storage subsystem.

   After removing all drives from a storage subsystem (or powering on
   the controller only without any drive expansion enclosures), the IBM
   FAStT Storage Manager software will prompt you for a password when trying 
   to start the software or trying to perform protected operations. Any 
   password entered will fail.

   Password information is stored on a reserved area of each hard disk
   drive on the storage subsystem.  Each drive stores a mirrored copy
   of the password data.  When there are no drives in the storage
   subsystem, the storage management software does not find the
   password data when you attempt password protected operations. Add
   one drive to the storage subsystem and retry the operation.
   
   Since the RAID controller unit should not be powered on until the
   expansion units are attached and powered on, this should be done by
   powering off the RAID controller unit, properly attaching all
   expansion units (with drives installed), to the RAID controller unit
   and powering them on, and then powering the RAID controller unit
   back on.  At this point the storage subsystems can be re-discovered
   and managed using the IBM FAStT Storage Manager 8.3 software.

4. The FAStT Storage Management dialog windows may be displayed
   cropped without the vertical and horizontal scroll bars. Just move
   the mouse pointer over the edge of the window until the mouse
   pointer change to window resize pointer, left click and hold to grip
   the window edge to resize it.

5. If the controller in the IBM FAStT Storage Server with firmware 
   05.3x.xx.xx is connected to a SAN with more than 64 host connections
   per controller port that can log into the controllers, one must 
   either use the switch zoning function or rearrange the SAN 
   connections so that only the maximum number of host connections can
   be seen and log into the controller. The FAStT Storage Subsystem 
   FAStT900, FAStT700 and FAStT500 (IBM machine type 1742 and 3552)
   have two ports per controller - one per minihub slot. The FAStT 
   Storage FAStT600 (IBM machine type 1722) has two ports per
   controller. The FAStT storage Subsystem FAStT200 (IBM machine type
   3542) has only one port per controller.  

6. The IBM FAStT Storage Server hardware and software is designed
   to have redundant paths from the host system to ensure the
   availability of storage. However, it is possible to connect a single
   host adapter from the host system to one of the controller minihubs
   and then connect this minihub to the minihub of the other
   controller. This configuration will create a FC-AL loop between the
   host adapter and the two IBM FAStT Storage Server controllers and no
   redundant path to the host system. When you connect the two minihubs
   together, always connect the "IN" port of one minihub to the "OUT"
   port of the other minihub or vice versa. Do not connect the "IN"
   port of one to the "IN" port of the other minihub or the "OUT" port
   of one minihub to the "OUT" port of the other minihub.

7. When creating a Remote Mirror of a base logical drive, in the 
   case where a FlashCopy of the base logical drive has already
   been created, the following restriction applies. If the Remote 
   Mirror relationship is created while the base logical drive is
   receiving I/O, the FlashCopy logical drive will be failed. The 
   work around is to quiesce I/O to the base logical drive while you 
   are creating the remote mirror relationship. Alternatively, if the
   Remote Mirror relationship is created before creating the FlashCopy
   logical drive, the FlashCopy logical drive will not be failed. 

8. When using a 64-bit Linux system the FAStT Storage must be managed from
   a 32-bit system using the out-of-band management method.  
    
9. Dynamically changing the cache read ahead multiplier setting via 
   the storage manager client may  result in an error message 
   indicating the operation has failed. Despite the error message, 
   the request to change the cache read ahead multiplier will remain 
   queued to the controllers and will eventually complete when I/O 
   activity to the storage subsystem has subsided. In order to avoid 
   the error message and any delays in the cache read ahead multiplier
   value changing, it is recommended to change the cache read ahead 
   multiplier when the subsystem is in a quiesced state.

10. This following behavior applies for the direct Fibre Channel 
    connection setup between the FAStT F600 storage server host ports and
    the server HBA ports only. If all FAStT F600 host ports are occupied,
    the FAStT600 event log may show "host-side data rate negotiation
    failed" error when the server is booted up, this is normal error 
    that were generated during the host rate negotiation routine inside 
    the FAStT 600 storage server.

11. When configuring FAStT Logical volumes to be used with Veritas 
    Volume Manager on Solaris, the maximum capacity per disk is limited
    to 999GB. For 1024GB disk group support using Veritas Volume 
    Manager, it is recommended to use multiple disks of sizes less than
    999GB.

12. When managing the FAStT Storage Servers with firmware version 
    05.3x.xx.xx, the Help window of the Subsystem Management window may
    not be displayed correctly the topics that are listed as result of 
    executing a full text search. 

13. If the EXP100 ESM firmware version is 953x or earlier, no IOs are 
    allowed during the duration that the EXP100 ESMs are being updated 
    with new firmware, including clustering reservation checking
    IOs. 
    
14. The FAStT storage server when configured with the FAStT EXP100 
    SATA Drive Expansion Unit is currently reporting a higher frequency 
    of informational events such as Destination Driver Events (DDEs) 
    and FibreChannel link up/down events ... in the FAStT Controller event
    log compared to the FAStT strorage server configured with Fibre Channel 
    drives. Slower response times of SATA disk drives compared to Fibre 
    Channel disk drives cause higher I/O retries from the FAStT storage server 
    controllers, resulting in a greater number of informational events logged.
    In addition, the number of information events reported in the FAStT 
    storage server event log will also grow in proportion to the increase 
    in I/Os to the Logical Drives. In all cases, the FAStT storage server 
    controller will always successfully service the timeout I/O on the 
    subsequent retries.
     
15. When migrating array(s) from a dual controller FAStT storage server to
    a single controller FAStT storage server, you must first set the 
    preferred owner of the to-be-migrated array(s) to be controller A
    before inserting it into the drive slots of a single controller FAStT 
    storage server. Otherwise, the array(s) will not be added to the single 
    controller FAStT storage server correctly which might cause problems.

16. When saving the FAStT storage server event log entries, it may take up
    to several minutes to save all entries in the event log depending on 
    the FAStT management workstation resources. However, the FAStT Storage
    Manager client GUI will show the completion of the event log saving 
    almost instantly. The work around is to check the file size of the file
    that the event log entries are saved periodically; if the file size 
    does not change, the event log saving is completed.

17. You must suspend all I/O while ESM firmware downloads if you select 
    multiple enclosures for downloading ESM firmware. If you select only
    one enclosure for download at a time, you can download ESM firmware
    with I/Os. However, IBM recommends that you suspend all I/O activity
    to perform firmware upgrades.
    
18. When managing a single controller FAStT Storage Server model, do not
    use the menu option - Configuration->Automatic... - in the Subsystem
    Management window to create LUNs. You might not be able to access 
    or manage LUNs that are created this way.

19. The FAStT Copy Service RVM is not supported at this time for FAStT
    storage servers that are connected to EXP100 enclosures and FAStT100
    soreage server. In addition, FAStT100 storage server does not support
    FAStT Copy Service VolumeCopy. 
    
20. Do not perform other storage management tasks, such as creating or 
    deleting logical drives, reconstructing arrays, and so on, while 
    downloading the FAStT storage server controller firmware and FAStT 
    EXP100 ESM firmware. It is recommended that you close all storage 
    management sessions (other than the session that you use to upgrade
    the firmware) to the FAStT storage server that you plan to update.

21. Redhat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 operating system is supported for 
    FAStT100 storage server with firmware version 05.42.xx.xx and FAStT600
    and FAStT900 with firmware version 05.41.5x.xx only.
    

=======================================================================

1.3  Enhancements

   Important: New features that are introduced with the controller firmware 
   version 05.4x.xx.xx or newer will not be available for any FAStT storage
   server controllers without the controller firmware version 05.4x.xx.xx

3.3  Helpful Hints
-----------------------

1. If you are unable to see the maximum number of drives during
   Automatic Configuration, you should be able to use Manual
   Configuration to select individual drives and select the maximum
   number of drives allowed.

2. Depending on the storage subsystem that you have purchased, you
   may have to purchase the FAST storage partitioning premium feature
   option or an option to upgrade the number of supported partitions
   in a storage subsystem. Please see IBM Marketing representatives
   or IBM resellers for more information.
   
   - IBM FAStT100 storage subsystem (machine type 1724): The standard
     configuration does not have the FAST storage partitioning premium
     enabled. Four partition, eight partition, sixteen and an upgrade 
     from four to eight partition storage partitioning premium feature
     options can be purchased. 

   - IBM FAStT600 storage subsystem (machine type 1722): The standard
     configuration does not have the FAST storage partitioning premium
     enabled. Four partition, eight partition, sixteen and an upgrade 
     from four to eight partition storage partitioning premium feature
     options can be purchased. The IBM FAStT600 Turbo option comes with
     8 partition storage partitioning premium option installed. An
     upgrade to 64 partitions can be purchased for the IBM FAStT600 
     Turbo option. 

   - IBM FAStT200 (machine type 3542: The standard configuration has 16
     partition storage partitioning premium option installed. No additional
     storage partitioning premium feature options can be purchased for 
     these storage subsystems.

   - IBM FAStT500 and FAStT700 storage subsystems (machine type 3552 and 
     1742 - models 1RU and 1RX, respectively): The standard configuration
     has 64 partition storage partitioning premium option installed. No 
     additional storage partitioning premium feature options can be 
     purchased for these storage subsystems.

   - IBM FAStT900 storage subsystem (machine type 1742 - models 90X and
     90U): The standard configuration has 16 partition storage partitioning
     premium option installed. An upgrade from 16 to 64 partition storage
     partitioning premium feature option can be purchased.

4.0 Configuration Information
----------------------------------------


4.1 Configuration Settings
------------------------------------

1. By default, the IBM FAStT Storage Manager 8.4 firmware does not 
   automatically map logical drives when the IBM FAStT storage 
   partitioning premium feature is enabled. This means that the logical 
   drives after being created are not automatically presented to the host
   systems.

   a. For a new installation, after creating new arrays and logical drives,
      if your host OS type is any of the supported version of Linux OS's, 
      create a partition with the host type of Linux and map the logical
      drives to this partition.
      
   b. If you are upgrading with Storage Partitions and the host system OS
      was other than Microsoft Windows NT is accessing the default host
      group, you will need to change the default host type. After upgrading,
      the default host type is reset to Windows non-clustered (SP5 or 
      higher).

   Refer to the IBM FAStT Storage Manager online help to learn more
   about creating storage partitions and changing host types.


2. When you are configuring IBM machine type 1722, 1724, 1742, 3542, or 3552 
   storage controllers as boot devices, contact IBM support for supported
   configurations and instructions for configuring IBM storage controllers
   as boot devices.
   
   
3. When you are configuring IBM machine type 1742 or 3552 storage controllers
   in clustered Remote Mirror configurations, contact IBM support for 
   supported cluster configurations and instructions for configuring IBM 
   storage controllers in clustered Remote Mirror configurations.
