Modular Disk Storage Manager The following updates apply to the Modular Disk Storage Manager (MD Storage Manager) software: • Simplified Chinese is not supported when installing or using MD Storage Manager on SUSE® Linux Enterprise Servers (SLES) systems. • Japanese is not supported when using the MD Storage Manager graphical user interface (GUI) on SLES systems. • When install or running MD Storage Manager on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4 (RHEL 4) V4 running a Chinese OS, set the proper input manager to miniChinput as shown below: - Select Applications Menu →System Settings →Input Method Switcher to open the input method switcher, or use the systemswitch-im command in a terminal window. - Under Advanced Settings, select Chinese (P.R. of China), or use the im-switch -z zh_CN -s miniChinput command in a terminal window. NOTE: You must restart X-11 for the miniChinput input manager change to take effect. Supported Link Rates and Auto Negotiation MD3000i iSCSI ports are 1000BASE-TX and require auto-negotiation to always be present and enabled. The iSCSI ports can operate at 1Gb/sec full duplex, 100Mb/sec full duplex, or 100Mb/s half duplex (if the other half of the link is auto-negotiation enabled). To avoid network performance problems, always run at 1Gb/sec. NOTE: 10Mb/s link rate is not supported. Physical Disk Migration Cold powerup migration of physical disks from an MD3000 duplex configuration to an MD3000i duplex configuration is supported only when all physical disks are moved from one system to another. No other migrations, including partial physical disk migration and RAID controller module migration, are supported. Information Update 5
