1.0  Overview
________________________



        1.1     This diskette will update the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II
                software only.  It will not affect any device drivers.  
        
        1.2     Limitations

                If there is an error in loading the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II 
                software, retry loading the software by repeating the instructions 
                in section 3.0.

        1.3     Enhancements
                - none

        1.4.    Level of Recommendations and Prerequisites for the
                update:

                - Multi-lun support is needed in order to mount more then one remote drive 
                  simultaneously. The linux kernel 2.4.20 and later have the appropriate 
                  multi-lun support, however this support needs to be enabled at kernel 
                  build time.  Currently, only the SLES 8.0 SP3 distribution has multi-Lun 
                  support available and enabled.  RedHat AS 3.0 has a 2.4.21 kernel, but 
                  does not have multi-lun support enabled by default.  

        1.5     Dependencies:

                - none
