Versionsinformationen

Build 18937 (06 Feb 2012)

• Release Notes Build 18937, Auszug aus Enhancements and Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue that would cause a bus hang condition after running a rescan using the arcconf utility.
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent a user from creating a second array within the CTRL-A utility.
  • Fixed an issue where drives could drop during a build/verify operation after a warm reboot.
  • Fixed an issue where the drive capacity displayed in the CTRL-A utility was incorrect.

Build 18252 (20 Dec 2010)

• Release Notes Build 18252, Auszug aus Enhancements and Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue in configurations with maxCache (formerly MaxIQ) enabled, where SSD cache fetches could overlap with host write IOs when array write cache is disabled. Please note that the SSD cache will be reset after this firmware upgrade, which could result in a temporary performance impact as the SSD cache rebuilds.

• Release Notes Build 17911, Auszug aus Enhancements and Bug Fixes:
  • Added support for greater then 2TB drive capacity.
  • Improved the DMA engine for configurations where the host system has greater then 4GB of memory.
  • Fixed an issue where a drive segment would report as Failed when the overall RAID status was Optimal.
  • Fixed a compatibility issue that would prevent Adaptec controllers from posting in Dell Tx10 servers.
  • Fixed a compatibility issue that would prevent Adaptec controllers from posting in HP ML110 servers.
  • Fixed an issue where drives would not be detected when installed on an HP backplane.
  • Fixed an issue where an array originally created using older controller firmware would not rebuild on a controller with newer firmware.
• Adaptec Storage Manager v6.50.18579 Readme

Build 17544 (18 Nov 2009)

• Release Notes Build 17544, Auszug aus Enhancements and Bug Fixes:
  • Added a new option in the “PHY Configuration” menu to change the Phy speed (3.0Gbps/1.5Gbps). Due to onboard expanders, this new option is not available on certain Series 5 controllers (51245, 51645, and 52245).
  • Fixed an issue where arrays may become unreadable after performing a firmware upgrade. Please refer to ASK knowledgebase article# 16914 for further detail.

  • Enhancement to drive medium error handling. Drives exhibiting excessive medium errors will be marked offline.
  • Enhancement to array morphing and expansion should require less time to complete. This enhancement does not apply to array building or rebuilding.
