Change history

Version 1.1.5-2434 (ServeRAID 8.40)

Problem(s) fixed:

  • Fixed a problem with 64-bit largesmp configurations stepping on the UP configurations in the following kernels:

    2.6.9-42.EL
    2.6.9-36.1.EL
    2.6.9-36.EL
    2.6.9-34.19.EL
    2.6.9-34.EL
    2.6.9-32.EL
    2.6.9-27.EL
    2.6.9-22.25.EL

  • Fixed a community bug in ioctl calls dealing with 32-bit applications in 64-bit kernels.

Enhancements:

  • Added support for ServeRAID-8s
  • Added support for 2.6.9-42.EL (RHEL4 U4)
  • Added support for 2.4.21-47.EL (RHEL3 U8)

Limitations: none.
Dependencies: none.

Version 1.1.5-2420 (ServeRAID 8.30)

Problem(s) fixed: none.

Enhancements:

  • Added support for ServeRAID 8k and 8k-l
  • Added support for 2.4.21-37.ELvmnix (VMWare 3.1)
  • Added support for 2.4.9-e.65 (RHAS2.1 errata 65)
  • Added support for 2.4.9-e.68 (RHAS2.1 errata 68)
  • Added support for 2.4.9-e.68 to modules.equiv
  • Dropped support for 2.4.9-e.62 products

Limitations: none.
Dependencies: none.

Version 1.1.5-2412 (ServeRAID 8.20)

Problem(s) fixed:

  • Fixed a problem where, if the adapter went through an IOP reset, the outstanding ioctl commands issued during the setup phase leading to the process were not closed, only the outstanding I/O commands were closed. The management applications would need to be restarted, in this case.
  • Prevented a null pointer access in the driver in low memory systems during driver load. The null pointer access could hang the system.
  • Fixed error on driver thread restart where bad user applications hit the kernel thread process ids.
  • Dropped the maximum sg count because some legacy adapters showed instability.

Enhancements:

  • Added support for 2.4.21-37.EL (RHEL3 U6)
  • Added support for 2.6.9-22.EL (RHEL4 U2)
  • Added support for SMART scsictl tools to communicate with physical targets.

Limitations: none.
Dependencies: none.

Version 1.1.5-2407 (ServeRAID 8.15)

Problem(s) fixed:

  • Started using IOP_RESET to prevent system hangs.

Enhancements:

  • Added support for 2.6.5-7.191 (SLES9 SP2)
  • Added support for 2.6.5.7.192 (SUSE 9.1 errata)
  • Added support for 2.6.8-24.17 (SUSE 9.2 errata)
  • Added support for 2.6.11.4-20a (SUSE 9.3)
  • Added support for 2.6.11.4-21.7 (SUSE 9.2 errata)

Limitations: none.
Dependencies: none.
