ANNOUNCING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE T2.4-1 INTERNAL FIELDTEST
KIT FOR StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software for OpenVMS
F O R I N T E R N A L U S E O N L Y !!!
****************************************************************
StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version T2.4-1 provides the
following functionality in addition to V2.3's features (see
Release Notes for more details):
o Support for OpenVMS V7.1.
________________________ Note __________________________
Shadow patch kit (s. below) needs to be installed before
using RAID 0+1 (striping plus shadowing). The patch kit
also needs to be installed for the OpenVMS V6.2 Cluster
Compatibility Kit which comes with OpenVMS V7.1.
T2.4-1 is unsupported on OpenVMS Alpha V1.5.
________________________________________________________
o Improved BIND times in cluster by over 25%.
o Command procedure can be run in batch job depending on
certain RAID events (e.g. reconstruct complete).
o User function to repair RAID 5 array and format on-disk
meta data.
StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version T2.4-1 contains the
following bug fixes since V2.3 (see Release Notes for more
details):
o RAID server process dies producing a process dump file
larger than 17,000 blocks. The reason was a virtual
memory leak during multiple shadow set state changes for
RAID 0+1 arrays.
o In some cases a system crash did not start a reconstruct
operation by the remaining RAID servers potentionally
leaving non-redundant areas on RAID 5 arrays. If such
arrays later on went to reduced mode PARITY ERRORs were
returned trying to read from these area.
o RAID Server timeouts due to shadowing and controller
mini-merge issues.
o After having restarted the RAID server a RAID SHOW
command fails with "RAID-F-DRIVER, Error resulting from
RAID Driver QIO was detected".
Restrictions for StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version T2.4-1
(see Release Notes for more details):
See OpenVMS V7.1 incompatibility note above.

ANNOUNCING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE V2.4 SSB KIT
FOR StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software for OpenVMS
****************************************************************
StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version V2.4 provides the
following functionality in addition to V2.3's features (see
Release Notes for more details):
o Support for OpenVMS V7.1.
________________________ Note __________________________
Shadow patch kit (s. below) needs to be installed before
using RAID 0+1 (striping plus shadowing). The patch kit
also needs to be installed for the OpenVMS V6.2 Cluster
Compatibility Kit which comes with OpenVMS V7.1.
V2.4 is unsupported on OpenVMS Alpha V1.5.
________________________________________________________
o Improved BIND times in cluster.
o Command procedure can be run in batch job depending on
certain RAID events (e.g. reconstruct complete).
o User function to repair RAID 5 array and create report
of on-disk metadata.
StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version V2.4 contains the following
bug fixes since V2.3 (see Release Notes for more details):
o RAID server process dies producing a process dump file
larger than 17,000 blocks. The reason was a virtual
memory leak during multiple shadow set state changes for
RAID 0+1 arrays.
o In some cases a system crash did not start a reconstruct
operation by the remaining RAID servers potentionally
leaving non-redundant areas on RAID 5 arrays. If such
arrays later on went to reduced mode PARITY ERRORs were
returned trying to read from these area.
o RAID Server timeouts due to shadowing and controller
mini-merge issues.
o After having restarted the RAID server a RAID SHOW
command fails with "RAID-F-DRIVER, Error resulting from
RAID Driver QIO was detected".
o RAID server becomes compute bound during BIND command and
after ADD/SPARE.
o Server exits due to pagefile quota too low.
o BIND/SHADOW or ADD/SHADOW fail with a DEVOFFLINE message in
the diagonstics file.
Restrictions for StorageWorks(TM) RAID Software version V2.4
(see Release Notes for more details):
See note above about incompatibility with OpenVMS V7.1 and V6.2
Cluster Compatibility kit.
