Known Issues
============
1. Seagate DFY SATA 500G failed smart warning & abort cmd in X4240,X4170,X4270,X4450.
2. Sun ASM: Discrepancy in the size reported during array creation time in the SSM GUI and CLI after the array was created. The array was always created with 10MB less than what was originally shown in the SSM GUI.
3. On Solaris 10 U7 (both SPARC & x86), when the OS is installed with inbox driver and updated with the 16795 drivers, the system is not booting. The same issue does not exist with Solaris 10 U6. 

=============
Fixes/Updates
=============
Version 5.2.0-17757
Fixed – Installation issue with SLES 10 SPE3
Fixed – ARCCONF shows RAID volumes as not protected by Global Spare (mismatches with GUI)
Fixed – Adaptec SDK crashes with Win2k8
Fixed - CAM reports FWR_DEVICE_ERROR,4 or No such Disk when upgrading JBOD Disks via Prometheus HBA. This problem could not be verified at Adaptec due to the lack of CAM software.
Fixed – When trying to upgrade Drive f/w on a JBOD from Linux host, SGXPCIESAS-R-EXT-Z panics and the host hangs. This problem could not be verified at Adaptec due to the lack of CAM
software.

Version 5.2.0-16795
	Fixed: Seagate DFY SATA 500G failed smart warning & abortcmd with Adaptec in X4. The SLI is corrupting the smart data buffer, hence additional checks has been added in the firmware to consider only the valid SMART data. However the memory corruption is not fixed in the SLI as of this code drop.
	Fixed: R60 goes to failed state rather than degrade with shared physical drives.

Version 5.2.0-16787
	Fixed: Adaptec CLI utility mismatch GUI shows simple volume protected by hot spare.
	Fixed: SGXPCIESAS-R-EXT-Z issue fsck fails on a RAID 6 LUN greater than 2TB after a rebuild or verify.
	Fixed: Fixed the write retry logic of GG page of the battery subsystem.
	Fixed: Latest Hitachi SATA disk drives have the vendor name at the beginning of the model entry in their identify data structure.So implemented a workaround to extract vendor and product data from the ATA identify data and use it in the error situation.
	Fixed: Hyper terminal can not diagnosis NEM+ status change via UART cable on FW
	Fixed: where the BUSY status returning forever when SLI returns Local Rejects with a retry. This was related to Non spun-up drive or faulty drive cmd timeouts causing endless loop.
	Fixed: R60 goes to failed state rather than degrade with shared physical drives.
	Fixed: Firmware carshes with 10 enclosures during Windows shutdown.

Version 5.2.0-16785
	Fixed: Unable to see/access HBA from Sun RAID Manager GUI after system reboot.
	Fixed: Drop out of the attached J4200 Stroage causing system freeze.
	Fixed: Alarm restarts during array rebuild but silence button remains inactive.

Version 5.2.0-16727
	Fixed: RAID 5ee hung firmware w/ error
	Fixed: The queuing data into cache memory seems to be lost if power supply is down during writing data to drives
	Fixed: Host command failure when heavy I/O Stress test occurring at the same with R1 rebuild in progress
	Fixed: The controller does a core dump while processing Medium Errors.
	Fixed: RAID Volume write throughput is highly reduced.
	Fixed: Migrated R60 array does not pick up hot-spare for rebuild.
	Fixed: R60 does not pick up new drives properly after removing multiple drives and replacing

Version 5.2.0-15872
	Included MR3 Patch 4.5.5.0 that addresses the Firefly (Seagate Hard Drive model*) issue reported by Sun. Please refer CR6781020.
	Fixed the kernel panic issue when a rebuilding R10 was migrated from one system to the other. 
	Added SATA Disk FW download time delay to ensure that there is a cooling period¡± of about 60 secs after all the payload are sent to the disk.

Version 5.2.0-15864
	Included MR3 Patch 4.5.4.0 that addresses the Firefly (Seagate Hard Drive model*) issue reported by Sun. Please refer CR6780279.

Version 5.2.0-15847
	Included Intel IOP INTEFACE MR3 production release 4.5.3.0
	Fixed: Discovery times are excessively long
	Fixed: SAS cable hot-plug did not initiate discovery
	Fixed: the issue when pulling out drives from a drive enclosure and rescan drives makes controller panic. It is partly related to CR6779492.
	Fixed: Bios Cache setting are not reversible ¨C changed the Menu options strings names to Enable All, Disable All, Drive Specific to avoid confusion and make it clear to the user.
	Improved Sequential & Random Read performance for R1/R10 arrays by optimizing the read distribution to the member drives. This was requested by the Sun team to compare better against the competition.

Version 5.2.0 - 15845
	Included the Intel IOP INTEFACE 2.0 MR3 RC2 code

Version 5.2.0 - 15842
	Included the Intel IOP INTEFACE 2.0 based patch for addressing the SAS hot plug discovery issue reported by Sun with the J4500 JBODs. This bug is described in the CR 6740104. Here is the Intel IOP INTEFACE release note for the fix: When running in an configuration comprised of multiple enclosures (multiple vendors), swapping the cables that are connecting the enclosures may result in the Transport Firmware reporting a Discovery failure to the Intel IOP INTEFACE host

Version 5.2.0 - 15829
	Fixed: Sun Blade Server hard disks are detected initially, but upon reboot it disappearing issue (CR6737279). The fix includes handling of single ported drives (SATA) in dual-ported enclosures (e.g. SUN BLADE SERVER & SUN BLADE) 
	Fixed: The issue where the system appeared to hang when more than 8 Rebuilds where running in parallel. The FW will limit the background rebuild process to 8 and restart the when the resources are available.
	Fixed: A BLINKED LED in CheckMorphContainer() found during regression testing

Version 5.2.0 - 15825
	Added: A fix to detect a rescan and update the cached hard drive firmware version to reflect a new version after a drive firmware flash
	Added: Fix for RAID 10 Change

Version 5.2.0 - 15819
	Added: ADAPTER-INITIATED FIB-notification support for element status code changes for temperature sensor elements in SES-2 enclosures. With this extension, the Sun RAID Manager should correctly indicate the enclosure temperature statusfor enclosures, which do not support warning/failure flags in SES-2 status pages e.g. SUN JBOD (TW24) 
	Added: Support for handling of System Enclosure Processor without slot-elements, e.g. SUN BLADE 
	Fixed: X6450/X6250 blades hang intermittently while booting RHEL5 at starting UDEV (THE LINUX IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DEVICE MANAGER SIMILAR TO WINDOWS)

Version 5.2.0 - 15816
	Added: 4 degrees (down) correction for temperature sensed on-die in INTEL IOP SILICON and corrected temperature high limit to 105degrees

Version 5.2.0 - 15815
	Fixed: Online LEDs vanishes for HDDs which are a part of degraded RAID volume after system reset. 
	Fixed: Online LEDs don't glow for the HDDs which is a part of a degraded array in specific slots
	Fixed: LED goes off for HDD in slot4 when there are 6 HDDs on X4140.
	Fixed: Memory corruption caused by returning more than 4 bytes on mode sense header.

Version 5.2.0 - 15813
	Included 2.0 Intel IOP INTEFACE 4.2.2.0 official release
	Fixed: Panic upon dynamic addition of second J4500 tray in cascade 
	Fixed: RAID Software stack Loss of access to controller during I/O stress test
	6670526 - RAID Software stack driver panicked or had I/O hang with heavy I/O loads
	Placeholder: Enable IOP Reset and Disable FW Timebomb before Shipping
	Disabled the snapshot feature from OEM SUN
	Fix Gen6 battery ADAPTER-INITIATED FIB. Was not sending the correct for_your_attention bits.  This caused STORAGE MANAGER to not see all the events that triggered the ADAPTER-INITIATED FIB

	Fixed: Screen freezes for a few sec, drives are not seen when maximum no of volumes are created. - X4240, 16HDD Added warning for space remaining when a physical disk is selected during a create and this will be the last array allowed on this disk
	Fixed: StorageTEK Card Controller Failure - Controller monitor failure error. 
	Fixed: Loki 4500: SGXPCIESAS-R-EXT-Z HBA unknown firmware error
	Fixed: Can't see Riverwalk or Alamo disks from SGXPCIESAS-R-EXT-Z - Controller Crashes
