KNOWN ISSUES

#######################################################################

After you apply newer firmware on H200i storage controllers, there will

be a delay of 2 to 3 minutes before reboot.

The drivers exposed by USC will be present in a read-only device labeled

OEMDRV, and the device will be active for 18 hours. In a Microsoft(r)

Windows(r) and Linux environment, the drivers will be automatically

installed and no further action is required. In RedHat Enterprise

Linux version 4.8 only, the drivers are not automatically installed and

you have to install the drivers manually after the OS installation

has been completed.

In Windows 2003 (32 bit, SBS, and 64 bit), in addition to the device

labeled OEMDRV, a floppy drive labeled FLOPPY will also be exposed that

contains drivers and will remain active for 18 hours.

USC supplies necessary Windows 2003 Server drivers via a temporary,
