  Note:       
   New features that are introduced with the controller firmware version 
   06.15.xx.xx or later will not be available for any DS4000 storage 
   subsystem controllers without the controller firmware version 
   06.15.xx.xx installed. Similarly, new features that are introduced with 
   the controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx or later will not be 
   available for any DS4000 storage subsystem controllers without the 
   controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx installed. 

 
=======================================================================
1.1  Known Issues/Limitations
-----------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
The listed limitations are cumulative. However, they are listed by the 
DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware and Storage Manager host 
software releases to indicate which controller firmware and Storage 
Manager host software release that they were first seen and documented.


New limitations with Storage Manager version 9.15.xx.xx and DS4000 
controller firmware version 06.15.xx.xx release

None


New limitations with Storage Manager version 9.14.xx.05 and DS4000 
controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx release

1. Storage Manager Agent for Netware reported with version 8.00.15.00 instead
   of 09.14.15.00.

2. The IBM DS4000 Storage Manager Version 9.14 host software for Novell 
   NetWare will be installed in the default directory of SYS:\IBM_DS4000 
   instead of the SYS:\StorageManager directory as stated in the IBM DS4000 
   Storage Manager version 9 Installation and Support Guides for Windows 
   2000/Server 2003, Netware, ESX Server, and Linux publication.


New limitations with Storage Manager version 9.12.xx.08 and DS4000 
controller firmware version 06.12.03.xx release

1. Do not cut and paste the information in the DS4000 Storage Manager 
   online help into the DS4000 Storage Manager script command window or 
   into the text file that will be used as input for the SMcli script 
   engine. Extra space may be inserted in the required parameter names 
   which will cause error(s) during the script command execution. (267873)

2. In the configuration that have both SATA-technology drives (EXP100) 
   and Fibre-Channel technology drives (EXP700/EXP710/DS4100) behind the 
   same DS4000 storage subsystem, do not download drives firmware to both 
   SATA-technology drives and Fibre-Channel(FC) technology drives at the 
   same time. Download the drive firmware to drives of a single drive 
   technology (either SATA or FC) at a time.
    
3. Currently, IBM does not support Gold key Premium Feature as a chargeable
   upgrade. The Gold key Premium Feature is enable or disable depending 
   on the DS4000 storage subsystem models.

4. The Asynchronous Remote Mirroring utility, asyncRVMUtil, is not
   supported. This utility is used to automatically synchronize the 
   logical drives in the Remote Mirroring pairs. Please contact IBM 
   representatives or resellers for the support of this utility in the 
   future.


Limitations with Storage Manager version 9.10.xx.05 and DS4000 
    controller firmware version 06.10.11.xx release

1. Do not update the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware to version 
   06.1x.xx.xx from versions 05.4x.xx.xx or earlier if the EXP700 esm 
   firmware of the attached exp700 was not at 9326 or higher. If the EXP700 ESM 
   firmware is earlier than the 9326 versions, the EXP700 enclosure and 
   the installed drives may not be displayed in the DS4000 subsystem 
   management window after the controller firmware is upgraded to 
   06.1x.xx.xx version. The workaround is to update the EXP700 ESM 
   firmware to the version 9326 or higher first before upgrading the controller 
   firmware to version 06.1x.xx.xx. (260160 - 82841)
    
2. When connecting the EXP100 drive expansion enclosures, one must set the
   single digit (X1) of the enclosure ID to unique values. This is to prevent 
   the possibility that one of the drives in the EXP100 enclosures be 
   assigned the same ALPA as the DS4000 controller blade under certain DS4000 
   storage subsystem reboot scenarios. (261188)


Limitations with Storage Manager version 9.10.xx.02 and DS4000 
controller firmware version 06.10.06.xx release

1. Certain Storage Manager Command Line Interface (SMcli) commands require
   double-quotes as part of the syntax. The NetWare operating system 
   removes the double-quotes causing the scripts to fail. The workaround 
   is to pass the command through to SMcli using a text file if the 
   double quotes are required as part of the command. The quotes will be 
   preserved and the script will execute correctly.

2. On newly installed versions of NetWare, hot_add will not run if it is 
   not in the search path in the autoexec.ncf file. Edit the autoexec.ncf 
   file and add the following to the search path:

      search add sys:\

   After adding the information to the search path, be sure to save the 
   file and restart the computer.   
    
3. The DS4000 Copy Service RVM is not supported at this time for the
   DS4100 and the DS4300 storage subsystem with Standard or Single Controller 
   options. Note: The DS4100 storage subsystems with standard option have RVM 
   support using controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx or higher as of 
   5/16/2005.
     
4. An NSS volume mapped to a Windows client is rendered inaccessible after
   a "cluster leave" command on one cluster node caused the NSS Pool to 
   be migrated to the other cluster node.

5. In the Storage Manager version 9 client Subsystem Management window, 
   the preferred owner of a defined logical drive can not be changed if 
   the logical drive is managed by the preferred owner/controller. There 
   is no work-around. If the drive is currently managed by a non-
   preferred owner/controller, one can change the currently managed non-
   preferred owner/controller into currently managed preferred 
   owner/controller.

6. Concurrent firmware download (downloading firmware/NVSRAM to the DS4000 
   storage subsystem controllers with IOs to the host servers) is not 
   supported when upgrading the controller firmware from a 05.xx.xx.xx 
   version to a 06.1x.xx.xx version. ALL IOs must be stopped during the 
   version 06.1x.xx.xx controller firmware upgrade from a 05.xx.xx.xx 
   version. 
    
7. Do not pull or insert drives during the drive firmware download. 
   In addition, ALL IOs must also be stopped during the drive firmware
   download. Otherwise, drives may be shown as missing, unavailable or
   failed. 
    
8. Controller diagnostics will not run in a DS4000 storage subsystem with
   single controller.
   
9. When instructed to remove and reinsert or to replace a hard drive, wait
   at least 70 seconds before inserting either the removed existing drive 
   or the new drive into the drive slot. Then, wait up to 3 minutes for the 
   drive to be spun up, recognized by the DS4000 storage subsystem and 
   displayed in the Subsystem Management window before repeating the 
   process for another hard drive. There is no work-around.
   
   Similarly, wait at least 70 seconds before reinserting either the 
   removed existing ESM module or the new ESM module into the empty ESM 
   slot in the EXP drive expansion enclosure. Then, wait up to 3 minutes 
   for the ESM CRU to be recognized by the DS4000 storage subsystem and 
   displayed in the Subsystem Management window before repeating the 
   process for another ESM. There is no work-around.

10. Staged firmware and NVSRAM download function is not available on the
    DS4400 (machine type 1742) models with firmware 06.1x.00.00 in 
    conjunction with IBM Storage Manager 09.1x.xx.xx.


Limitations with Storage Manager version 8.4x.xx.xx (and earlier) and
DS4000 controller firmware version 05.4x.xx.xx (and earlier) releases

1. When trying to unload the Storage Manager Agent it will not
   completely unload.  After running the "Java -killxxx" command you must
   then type "unload Java" at the server console.  You may then restart 
   the Novell GUI console by typing "startx" at the server console.
    
2. When trying to configure disks in Console One you will first need to 
   allow the disks to finish synchronizing in Storage Manager prior to 
   trying to create your disks in Console One.  
    
3. 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. 

4. When managing the DS4000 storage subsystems 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. 

5. When migrating array(s) from a dual controller DS4000 storage subsystem to
   a single controller DS4000 storage subsystem, 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 DS4000 
   storage subsystem. Otherwise, the array(s) will not be added to the single 
   controller DS4000 storage subsystem correctly which might cause problems.

6. When managing a single controller DS4000 storage subsystem 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.

7. 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.

8. 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. 

9. After you replace a controller with a new controller in the single 
   controller models of DS4000 storage subsystems, the premium features 
   become unauthorized and are out of compliance. Any premium features not 
   supported by the firmware of the new controller are unavailable. The 
   work-around is to upgrade the firmware in the new controller to the 
   same level as the removed controller and re-enable the premium features 
   using the key files that you were provided when the premium feature was 
   originally enabled. 
    
10. When you migrating drive Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) from multiple
    DS4000 storage subsystems into a single destination DS4000 storage 
    servers, all of the drive CRUs from the same DS4000 storage subsystem 
    should be moved as a ‘set’ into the new destination DS4000 storage 
    server. Before moving the next ‘set’ of drive CRUs, ensure that all 
    of the drive CRUs for a single ‘set’ have been moved to the 
    destination DS4000 storage subsystem. If drive CRUs are not moved as a 
    ‘set’ to the destination DS4000 storage subsystems, the newly relocated 
    array may not appear in the Subsystem Management window.

11. Enclosure IDs may be listed incorrectly in the Subsystem Management 
    window, even if the Enclosure ID switch settings appear to be 
    correct. This is because of the physical design and movement of the 
    Enclosure ID switch, it is possible to leave the switch in a “dead 
    zone” between ID numbers, which will return an incorrect Enclosure ID 
    (this value is 0 in most cases) to the storage management software. 
    When setting the Enclosure ID, ensure that the switch has actuated 
    completely and has settled where the value is clearly visible in the 
    viewing window.
  
12. To download controller firmware, you must select the drive where the
    firmware is located. If the drive you select does not respond, the 
    File Selection dialog box will revert to the A: drive and display an 
    error message that drive A: is not ready if there are no media in 
    drive A:.
    
13. The DS4000 storage subsystem when configured with the DS4000 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 DS4000 Controller event 
    log compared to the DS4000 storage subsystem 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 DS4000 
    storage subsystem controllers, resulting in a greater number of 
    informational events logged. In addition, the number of information 
    events reported in the DS4000 storage subsystem event log will also grow 
    in proportion to the increase in I/Os to the Logical Drives. In all 
    cases, the DS4000 storage subsystem controller will always successfully 
    service the timeout I/O on the subsequent retries. 
    
14. When saving the DS4000 storage subsystem event log entries, it may take 
    up to several minutes to save all entries in the event log depending 
    on the DS4000 management workstation resources. However, the DS4000 
    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.
   
15. Do not perform other storage management tasks, such as creating or 
    deleting logical drives, reconstructing arrays, and so on, while 
    downloading the DS4000 storage subsystem controller firmware and DS4000 
    EXP 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 DS4000 storage subsystem that you plan to update.     

16. Inter-operability with tape devices is supported on separate HBA and 
    switch zones.



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

1.3  Enhancements
---------------------------

   The DS4000 Storage Manager version 9.14 host software for Novell Netware 
   operating systems supports the new version of controller firmware for the 
   DS4800 storage subsystem models. With this version of firmware, the DS4800 
   controllers utilize all of the available data cache memory installed in 
   each controller blade for I/O caching. Previously with controller firmware 
   version 06.14.xx.xx, the DS4800 controllers used only the first 1G bytes 
   of the installed data cache memory per controller for I/O caching.

1.5  Dependencies
--------------------------
 
   IMPORTANT:
   
   1. DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 06.1X.XX.XX 
      REQUIRES THAT THE FIRMWARE VERSION OF AN ATTACHED EXP700 ENVIRONMENTAL 
      SERVICE MODULE (ESM) BE AT VERSION 9326 OR HIGHER. IF THE EXP700 ESM 
      FIRMWARE IS EARLIER THAN THE 9326 VERSIONS, THE EXP700 ENCLOSURE AND 
      THE INSTALLED DRIVES MAY NOT BE DISPLAYED IN THE DS4000 SUBSYSTEM 
      MANAGEMENT WINDOW AFTER THE CONTROLLER FIRMWARE IS UPGRADED. THE 
      CURRENT RELEASE ESM FIRMWARE VERSION FOR THE EXP700 ESM IS 9327. 

   2. DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 06.1X.XX.XX 
      REQUIRES THAT THE FIRMWARE VERSION OF AN ATTACHED EXP100 
      ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE MODULE (ESM) BE AT VERSION 955X OR HIGHER. IT 
      IS NOT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE EXP100 ESM FIRMWARE VERSIONS THROUGH 
      953X TO VERSION 955X. TO DETERMINE THE FIRMWARE LEVEL OF AN EXP100 
      ESM, IDENTIFY THE PRODUCT LABEL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE EXP100 
      ENCLOSURE. ONLY LABELS ON WHICH THE FIELD REPLACEABLE UNIT (FRU) 
      PART NUMBER READS 25R0156 POSITIVELY INDICATE THAT AN ESM MODULE IS 
      RUNNING FIRMWARE VERSION 955X OR HIGHER. IF THERE IS NO LABEL OR 
      THE PART NUMBER ON THE LABEL DOES NOT READ 25R0156, THE ESM MAY 
      STILL HAVE THE FIRMWARE VERSION 955X OR HIGHER IF IT HAD BEEN 
      PREVIOUSLY UPGRADED. IF NECESSARY, CONTACT YOUR IBM REPRESENTATIVE, 
      SUPPORT, OR RESELLER FOR ASSISTANCE.
      
   3. CURRENTLY, THE ONLY DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEMS THAT ARE SUPPORTED BY THE 
      06.12.XX.XX CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION ARE THE DS4100 WITH STANDARD 
      (BASE) OPTION, THE DS4300 WITH STANDARD (BASE) OR TURBO OPTIONS, THE 
      DS4400 AND THE DS4500. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS CONTROLLER FIRMWARE ON 
      ANY OTHER DS4000 STORAGE SUBSYSTEM. THERE IS NOT ANY CHECKING FOR THIS 
      RESTRICTION INSIDE THE STORAGE MANAGER CLIENT PROGRAM.
      
   4. The only DS4000 storage subsystems that are supported by the 
      06.14.xx.xx or 06.15.xx.xx controller firmware version are the DS4800 
      storage subsystems. Currently, there are not any controller firmware 
      packages version 06.14.xx.xx or 06.15.xx.xx for other DS4000 storage 
      subsystems besides the DS4800 subsystems. Do not download this 
      controller firmware on any other DS4000 storage subsystems.

   5. Always check the README files (especially the Dependencies section) 
      that are packaged together with the firmware files for any required 
      minimum firmware level requirements and the firmware download 
      sequence for the DS4000 drive expansion enclosure ESM, the DS4000 
      storage subsystem controller and the hard drive firmware.

   6. If the managed DS4000 storage subsystem had the FC/SATA intermix 
      premium feature enable, do not upgrade the controller firmware from 
      version 06.10.xx.xx to version 06.12.xx.xx until a FC/SATA intermix 
      premium feature key file is generated and available. Once the 
      controller firmware is upgraded to version 06.12.xx.xx, the FC/SATA 
      intermix premium feature will be shown as out-of-compliance and the 
      FC/SATA intermix premium feature key file is required to re-enable 
      the feature. When the FC/SATA intermix premium feature is in out-of-
      compliance state, LUNs management functions like creations, 
      deletions and modifications will not be operational. Please refer to 
      the FC/SATA intermix premium feature activation card that was 
      shipped with the FC/SATA intermix premium feature kit for 
      instructions to generate the required premium key file.

   7. The DS4800 storage subsystems do not support the attachment of the 
      DS4000 EXP700 drive expansion enclosures. The EXP700 enclosure must 
      be upgraded into DS4000 EXP710 enclosure using the DS4000 EXP700 
      Models 1RU/1RX Switched-ESM Option Upgrade Kit before it can be 
      attached to the DS4800 storage subsystems.

   8. THE DS4000 STORAGE SERVER WITH CONTROLER FIRMWARE VERSION 05.41.1X.XX
      MUST BE UPGRADED TO CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSION 05.41.5X.XX FIRST BEFORE
      IT CAN BE UPGRADED TO CONTROLLER FIRMWARE VERSON 06.1X.XX.XX OR LATER.
      OTHERWISE, THE ERROR 231-FIRMWARE INCOMPATIBLE WILL BE DISPLAYED.

   TotalStorage™ Disk Storage Systems Technical Support web site for the 
   latest supported host adapters, device drivers, and updated readme. 

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

3.0  Installation and Setup Instructions
----------------------------------------------------

Note: The web-download Storage Manager version 9.15 host software package 
      must be first unzipped into a user-defined directory. Then, go to this 
      directory, locate the Netware directory to access the Storage Manager 
      version 9.15 host software installation file(s).

3.1  Step-by-step instructions for this code update are as follows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install and update the driver for the IBM DS4000 Host Adapter.

   a. Install the hardware by using the instructions that come with the
      adapter.
   b. Install the IBM DS4000 Host Adapter driver by using the
      instructions provided in the readme.txt file located in the
      Host_Adapter directory on this installation CD.
   c. Install the Novell Netware native fail-over device driver. Note:
      IBMSAN fail-over device drive is not supported for NW 6 with SP3
      or higher and NW 6.5.  

2. Install the new Storage Manager version 9 software. If there is
   previous version (7.x, 8.x or 9.10) of the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager host 
   software (ie. SMClient, SMUtil and SMAgent packages) installed 
   in the system, uninstall it before installing the new version of the 
   storage manager host software.   
   
   Note: Use the install.ncf file to start the DS4000 storage manager 
   version 9 host software installation instead of the product.ni file as 
   in the previous releases of DS4000 storage manager host software. Refer 
   to the IBM TotalStorage DS4000 Storage Manager Version 9 Installation 
   and Support Guide for Windows 2000/Server 2003, Netware, ESX Server, 
   and Linux for detailed uninstalled and installed instructions.
   
3. If the managed DS4000 storage subsystem had the FC/SATA intermix premium
   feature enable, do not continue with the next step until a FC/SATA 
   intermix premium feature key file is generated and available. Once the 
   controller firmware is upgraded to version 06.12.xx.xx from version 
   06.10.xx.xx, the FC/SATA intermix premium feature will be shown as 
   out-of-compliance and the FC/SATA intermix premium feature key file is 
   required to re-enable the feature. When the FC/SATA intermix premium 
   feature is in out-of-compliance state, LUNs management functions like 
   creations, deletions and modifications will not be operational. Please 
   refer to the FC/SATA intermix premium feature activation card that was 
   shipped with the FC/SATA intermix premium feature kit for instructions 
   to generate the required premium key file. 

4. Upgrade the DS4000 storage subsystem firmware in the following order - 
   the DS4000 drive expansion enclosure ESM code, the DS4000 storage 
   server controller firmware and NVSRAM and then the hard drive firmware 
   code. Refer to the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager version 9 Installation 
   and Support Guide for Windows 2000/Server 2003, Netware, ESX Server, 
   and Linux or the online help in the Subsystem Management window for 
   detailed instructions. 
   
   ATTENTION: Always check the README files (especially the Dependencies 
   section) that are packaged together with the firmware files for any 
   required minimum firmware level requirements and the firmware download 
   sequence for the DS4000 drive expansion enclosure ESM, the DS4000 
   storage subsystem controller and the hard drive firmware.

5. (if applicable) Re-enable the FC/SATA intermix premium feature using 
   the premium key file.


   Refer to the http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk IBM 
   TotalStorage™ Disk Storage Systems Technical Support web site for the 
   the latest DS4000 Storage Manager host software, the DS4000 controllers
   firmware, the drive expansion enclosure ESM firmware and the hard disk 
   drive code.

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

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

1. The DS4000 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.

2. 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.
   
3. Depending on the storage subsystem that you have purchased, you
   may have to purchase the DS4000 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 DS4100 storage subsystem (machine type 1724): The standard
     configuration does not have the DS4000 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 DS4300 storage subsystem (machine type 1722): The standard
     configuration does not have the DS4300 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 DS4300 Turbo option comes with
     8 partition storage partitioning premium option installed. An
     upgrade to 64 partitions can be purchased for the IBM DS4300 
     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 DS4400 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 DS4500 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.

   - IBM DS4800 storage subsystem (machine type 1815): Depending on the 
     ordering channels, the 1815 storage subsystem is either shipped with 
     8 storage partitions or with a user selected 8, 16 or 64 storage 
     partitions. If the subsystem is ordered with less than 64 partitions, 
     an upgrade from 8 to 16, 8 to 64 or 16 to 64 partition storage 
     partitioning premium feature option can be purchased.

4. Fabric topology zoning requirement.  To avoid possible problem at the 
   host level, it is best practice that all Fibre Channel (FC) Switches 
   must be zoned such that a single FC host bus adapter can only access 
   one controller per storage array. In addition, this zoning requirement 
   also ensures the maximum number of host connections can be seen and log 
   into the controller FC host port. This is because if a FC HBA port is 
   seen by both controller A and B host ports, it will be counted as two 
   host connections to the storage subsystem - one for controller A port 
   and one for controller B port.
   
   Note: The DS4000 storage subsystems DS4500, DS4400 and FAStT500 (IBM 
   machine type 1742 and 3552) have two ports per controller - one per 
   minihub slot. The DS4000 storage subsystems DS4300 (IBM machine type 1722) 
   and DS4100 (IBM machine type 1724) have two ports per controller. The 
   DS4000 storage subsystem FAStT200 (IBM machine type 3542) has only one 
   port per controller. The DS4000 storage subsystem DS4800 (IBM machine type 
   1815) has four ports per controller.
  
5. The DS4000 controller host ports or the Fibre Channel HBA ports can not 
   be connected to a Cisco FC switch ports with "trunking" enable. You 
   might encounter failover and failback problems if you do not change 
   the Cisco FC switch port to "non-trunking" using the following 
   procedure:
 
   a. Launch the Cicso FC switch Device Manager GUI. 
   b. Select one or more ports by a single click.
   c. Right click the port(s) and select Configure, a new window pops up
   d. Select the "Trunk Config" tab from this window, a new window opens
   e. In this window under Admin, select the "non-trunk" radio button, it 
      is set to auto by default.
   f. Refresh the entire fabric.      

6. When making serial connections to the DS4000 storage controller, the 
   baud rate is recommended to be set at either 38200 or 57600. Note: Do 
   not make any connections to the DS4000 storage subsystem serial ports 
   unless it is instructed by IBM Support. Incorrect use of the serial 
   port might result in lost of configuration, and possibly, data. 

7. All drive enclosures on any given loop should have complete unique ID's 
   assigned to them. For example, in a maximum configured DS4500 storage 
   server, enclosures on one redundant drive loop should be assigned with 
   id's 10-17 and enclosures on the second drive loop should be assigned 
   with id's 20-27. Enclosures id's 00 ~ 09 should not be used and 
   enclosure id's with the same single digit such as 11 and 21 should not 
   be used on the same drive loop.    
     
8. The ideal configuration for SATA drives is one drive in each EXP per 
   array, one logical drive per array and one OS disk partition per 
   logical drive. This configuration minimizes the random head movements 
   that increase stress on the SATA drives. As the number of drive 
   locations to which the heads have to move increases, application 
   performance and drive reliability may be impacted. If more logical 
   drives are configured, but not all of them used simultaneously, some 
   of the randomness can be avoided. SATA drives are best used for long 
   sequential reads and writes.

9. IBM recommends at least one hot spare per EXP100 drive expansion enclosure.
   A total of 15 hot-spares can be defined per DS4000 storage subsystem 
   configuration.
   
10. Starting with the DS4000 Storage Manager (SM) host software version 9.12
    or later, the Storage Manager client script window looks for the files 
    with the file type of  ".script" as the possible script command files. 
    In the previous versions of the DS4000 Storage Manager host software, 
    the script window looks for the file type ".scr" instead. (i.e. 
    enableAVT.script for SM 9.12 or later vs. enableAVT.scr for pre-SM 9.12)

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

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

1. By default, the IBM DS4000 Storage Manager 9.1x firmware does not 
   automatically map logical drives when the IBM DS4000 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,
      create a storage partition with the host type of Netware-failover 
      (when using the Novell native fail-over driver) or Netware-IBMSAN
      (when using the IBMSAN fail-over driver) and map the logical drives
      to this partition. 
   
   b. If you are upgrading the NVSRAM with Storage Partitions, you may have
      to change the default host type to match the host system OS. After 
      upgrading the NVSRAM, the default host type is reset to Windows 
      2000/Server 2003 non-clustered for DS4000 storage server with 
      controller firmware version 06.14.xx.xx or later. For DS4000 storage 
      server with controller firmware version 06.12.xx.xx or earlier, it is 
      reset to Windows non-clustered (SP5 or higher), instead.
      
   Refer to the IBM DS4000 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, 1815, 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 1722, 1724, 1742, 1815 or
   3552 storage subsystems in clustered Remote Mirror configurations, 
   contact IBM support for supported cluster configurations and 
   instructions for configuring IBM storage controllers in clustered 
   Remote Mirror configurations.

4.3 Unsupported configurations
-------------------------------------------

   The following lists configurations that are currently not being 
   supported with IBM DS4000 Storage Manager Version 9.15.

   1. The DS4100 (machine type 1724) storage subsystem does not support the 
      attachment of the DS4000 EXP710, EXP700 and EXP500 (FC) drive expansion 
      enclosures. Please contact IBM representatives or resellers for the 
      availability of such support in the future.
   
   2. The DS4800 (machine type 1815) storage subsystem does not support the 
      attachment of the DS4000 EXP500 and EXP700 (FC) drive expansion 
      enclosure.

   3. The DS4100 with Single Controller option does not support the 
      attachment of the DS4000 EXP100 drive expansion enclosures.
      
   4. The DS4300 storage subsystem with Single Controller option does not
      support the controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx. The correct 
      firmware version for these DS4300 storage subsystem models is 
      05.34.xx.xx.
      
   5. The DS4100 storage subsystem with Single Controller option does not
      support the controller firmware version 06.1x.xx.xx. The correct 
      firmware version for these DS4300 storage subsystem models is 
      05.42.xx.xx.   

   6. Fibre Channel loop environments with the IBM Fibre Channel Hub, 
      machine type 3523 and 3534, in conjunction with the IBM Fibre Channel 
      Switch, machine types 2109-S16, 2109-F16 or 2109-S8. In this 
      configuration, the hub is connected between the switch and the IBM 
      Fibre Channel RAID Controllers.

   7. The IBM Fibre Channel hub, machine type 3523, connected to IBM 
      machine type 1722, 1724, 1742, 1815, 3542 and 3552.

   8. A configuration in which a server with only one FC host bus 
      adapter connects directly to any DS4000 storage subsystem with dual 
      controllers is not supported. The supported configuration is the 
      one in which the server with only one FC host bus adapter connects 
      to both controller ports of any DS4000 storage subsystem with dual 
      controllers via Fibre Channel (FC) switch (SAN-attached 
      configuration.)

   9. The DS4800 support Novell Netware 6.0 SP5 and 6.2 SP2 servers only.
