RHEL 6.1 -K option For the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.1 operating system, you must use the -K option when creating a file system on a thin provisioning LUN. This affects all ext# file system versions of RHEL 6.1. RHEL 6.1 Boot from SAN BFS on thin provisioning LUNs is not supported with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.1 operating system. Windows 2003 server requires hotfix If the management server is running Microsoft Windows 2003, HP P6000 Command View may not display any array. To resolve this issue, you must install a Microsoft hotfix. Go to the following link for details and the hotfix download: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/945119 If you are using the server for storage only, not as a management server, you do not need to install this hotfix.
