Note the following issues when performing the relevant operation.

3.1

Check the BIOS and firmware versions for the SAS cards being used. If these are different from

the versions in the "Server Support Matrix", download and install the appropriate BIOS or firm-

ware version from the SAS card vendor's web-site.

3.2

Before turning the server on, check that the ETERNUS Disk storage systems are all "Ready".

If the server is turned on and they are not "Ready", the server will not be able to recognize the

ETERNUS Disk storage systems.

Also, when the ETERNUS Disk storage system power supply is being controlled by a connected

server, make sure that the ETERNUS Disk storage system does not shut down before the con-

nected servers.

If turned off, data writes from the running server cannot be saved to the ETERNUS Disk storage

systems, and already saved data may also be affected.

3.3

For details involving RHEL, refer to the Red Hat web-site and any documentation available.

3.4

For details involving SLES, refer to the Novell web-site and any documentation available.
