2. Installation Instructions
- The Adaptec SAS and SATA RAID Controllers Installation
and User's Guide contains complete installation information for
the controllers and drivers, as well as complete instructions
for all utilities. The Adaptec Storage Manager User's Guide
contains complete installation information for the Adaptec
Storage Manager software.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
3. General Cautions
- While an array is being built or cleared, DO NOT remove and
reinsert any drive from that array. Doing so may cause
unpredictable results for any of the controller's arrays.
- While a drive is being cleared, DO NOT try to include it in a
new array. Doing so may cause unpredictable results.
- DO NOT move drives containing an array or volume from one
controller to another while the power is on. Doing so could
cause the loss of the array configuration or data, or both.
Instead, power off both affected controllers, move the drives,
and then restart.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Known Limitations
4.1 Using the controller in a Dell Precision 530
When using the controller in a Dell Precision 530 with
Diskercise and Diskstress, data corruption/mis-compares may
occur.
4.2 ACU utility
On some Intel and IBM systems, when you try to run the ACU,
this message appears:
“Not enough free memory to load the utility!
Press any key to attempt loading the utility forcibly
OR Wait for the system initialization to be completed
[Default]”
This is normal. On Intel systems, wait for the system
initialization to be completed. Then the ACU will run. On IBM
systems, press any key when prompted to load the utility
forcibly.
4.3 FreeBSD and VMware
Adaptec Storage Manager is not supported in FreeBSD or VMware; storage
management must be done through the Adaptec Configuration
Utility (ACU) and ARCCONF command line utility. Refer to the
User Guides on the two CDs that were provided with your controller.
4.4 Adaptec Storage Manager
After a rebuild and waking up from hibernation, a controller
may be detected incorrectly in Adaptec Storage Manager.
Press F5 to correct the problem.
4.5 SAS controllers and Adaptec 335SAS enclosure
When the Adaptec 335SAS enclosure is attached to an Adaptec
SAS controller, such as ASR-3405SAS or ASR-3805SAS, the
enclosure numbering nomenclature starts with "0". For
example, if two Adaptec 335SAS enclosures are connected to a
ASR-3805SAS SAS controller, management tools such as Storage
Manager will denote the enclosures as "Enclosure 0" and
"Enclosure 1".
4.6 OpenServer 6.0
Arrays may not be displayed correctly, even after you restart
your computer.
To resolve the problem:
As root, run 'resmgr -r -m vtoc' until it fails. Then, as
root, run '/etc/conf/bin/idconfupdate -f'. Then, reboot.
4.7 Creating an Array from the Adaptec Storage Manager CD
When you create an array with the Adaptec Storage Manager
bootable CD, the maximum size of the array is 2 TB.
4.8 Using the controller with an Adaptec S50 JBOD Enclosure
Temperature warnings from Adaptec S50 JBOD Enclosure (firmware
version T016) are not shown in Adaptec Storage Manager (or on
the enclosure).
4.9 Firmware upgrades
Currently, the ASR-5085 and ASR-5805 controllers do not support
Mode 0 flash on the IBM x236. However, you can update the
controllers’ firmware from .ufi files without the Mode 0 jumper.
Refer to the instructions included in the Adaptec Storage
Manager User’s Guide, or the Adaptec Flash Utility instructions
in the Adaptec RAID Controller Installation and User’s Guide.
Check your controller BIOS settings after upgrading the
controller firmware/BIOS, as the BIOS may have been reset to
its default settings during the upgrade.
4.10 RAID 10/50/60 array leg limitations
A RAID 10, RAID 50, or RAID 60 array cannot have more than 32
legs when created using the Build method. Maximum disk drive
count is only limited by RAID level. For instance, a RAID 10
array built with 32 RAID 1 legs (64 disk drives) is supported;
a RAID 5 array built with 32 RAID 5 legs (96 disk drives) is
also supported. Although you can create a RAID 10 array with
more than 64 drives using the Quick Init method, the maximum
number of build/verify operations that can happen at any one
time is 32; therefore, such an array could not be verified.
4.11 Microsoft VDS Storage Manager LUN Error
On some systems when creating a new LUN, the Microsoft VDS
Storage Manager for SANs snap-in may not work properly and
crash with an MMC snap-in error.
4.12 UnixWare and OpenServer
Adding or moving controllers in an existing UnixWare or OpenServer
system may cause some device resources to change, which may lead
to the operating system being unable to boot. Currently, there
is no workaround available in the operating system. Before
installing the operating system, make sure all PCI devices are
either enabled or installed.
The individual behavior and affected devices will vary from system
to system. This is due to the different ways in which motherboards
may handle their PCI bus layouts, and how those layouts could be
changed when installing or rearranging devices. If the bus layout
changes and affects a critical system device (video, boot controller,
etc.) then the operating system may be unable to recover from that
change and be non-bootable.
4.13 ASR-31205/ASR-31605 with Sony SDX-470V tape drive
Backing up large files (800MB or larger) to a Sony SDX-470V
tape drive may generate an input/output error.
4.14 SATA disks do not support Dual Path with Expanders
Connect Dual Path SAS Enclosures with 2 Expanders only via one
Expander when using SATA disks as SATA disks do not natively support
Dual Path. If SATA disks are connected using 2 Expanders the
controller BIOS may crash if interposer cards are not used.
4.15 DOS OS not supported
The DOS environment is supported for Adaptec tool execution only
(AFU.EXE and ACU.EXE).
4.16 DAT drive restoration fails when spanning tapes
When restoring from two or more tapes with a Sony SDX-470,
Sony SDX-570, or Quantum DLT V4 DAT drive, the operation aborts
automatically when restoring the second tape but gives the
(erroneous) message "Restore Operation has Completed".
4.17 Hot-adding Disk Drives
If you hot-add multiple disks simultaneously to a large
configuration (100 disk drives or more), it may take an extended
length of time before those disk drives appear in Adaptec Storage
Manager.
With Intel Backplanes AXX4DRV3GEXP and AXX6DRV3GEXP, if a drive bay
is empty at enclosure power on and then a SATA disk drive is
hot-added into the empty bay, the controller does not detect
the new disk drive. To work around this issue, remove and reinsert
the SATA disk.
4.18 SuperMicro M28E Enclosures
Currently, the ASR-52445, ASR-51645, ASR-51245 controllers cannot
detect SuperMicro M28E enclosures.
4.19 Booting From Non-DASD Devices
If your system includes multiple non-DASD (non-Direct Access Storage
Device) devices, the CD or DVD drive must be the first enumerated
non-DASD device in order to run the bootable CD included with your
controller.
4.20 Western Digital Disk Drives
Currently, Western Digital WDC1500ADFD disk drives are not supported.
4.21 Maxtor Disk Drives
Currently, Maxtor DiamondMax 17 6G160E0 disk drives are not supported.
4.22 SuperMicro Disk Drive Enclosures
If the controller does not detect disk drives installed in a
SuperMicro M28E2 Mobile Rack, use backplane SAS connectors marked with
“SAS In” only.
