Version 1.1.5-24701 (ServeRAID 9.00) - Critical update

Problems fixed:

  • Fixed an issue where the filesystem may enter read only mode during heavy I/O.
  • Fixed an issue which resulted in false RAID Alerts when using IBM Director agent.
  • Fixed an issue where enclosure IDs may be reported incorrectly.

Enhancements: N/A
Limitations: N/A
Dependencies: N/A

Version 1.1.5-2451 (ServeRAID 9.00)

Limitations: N/A
Dependencies: N/A

Version 1.1.5-2434 (ServeRAID 8.40)

Problems 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

Limitations: N/A
Dependencies: N/A

Version 1.1.5-2420 (ServeRAID 8.30)

Problems fixed: N/A
Enhancements:

Version 1.1.5-2412 (ServeRAID 8.20)

Problems fixed:

  • 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.
