     2.  If the hostname of the system is identified on the line 
         with 127.0.0.1, you must create a new host line. 
        
     3.  Remove the hostname from the 127.0.0.1 line. 
        
         NOTE:  The following is an example: 
            
                127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 
 
     4.  On a new line, type the IP address of the system. 
        
     5.  Using the Tab key, tab to the second column and enter the  
         fully qualified hostname. 
            
     6.  Using the Tab key, tab to the third column and enter the  
         nickname for the system. 
            
         NOTE:  The following is an example of a completed line: 
 
                1.1.1.1 matrix.localdomain matrix 
                   
                where 1.1.1.1 is the IP address of the server and 
                matrix is the hostname of the server. 
            
     7.  Restart the server for changes to take effect. 
                             
   - On certain versions of Linux, you may see messages concerning font  
     conversion errors. Font configuration under X-Windows is a known  
     JVM problem. It does not affect the proper operation of the   
     Adaptec Storage Manager software. To suppress these messages,   
     add the following line to your .Xdefaults file: 
        
     stringConversionWarnings: False 
                                                       
   - On rare occasions, the online help system may generate a Java  
     exception. This is due to a known problem in the HTML rendering  
     section of JFC/Swing.         
  
   4.6 Novell NetWare 
 
   - When starting the NetWare operating system, the Adaptec Storage  
     Manager agent may fail to start. A message "The Storage Manager   
     agent failed to start" displays when starting the server. 
    
     The server is unable to load the Storage Manager agent.  This is 
     usually caused by loading Java before the Storage Manager agent. 
     In the file Autoexec.ncf, move the line "LOAD RAIDAGNT -BOOT" 
     so that it is before any lines that reference Java. 
 
   - A NetWare system can run only one instance of the Adaptec Storage    
     Manager agent. 
      
   - Under Novell NetWare 6.5, you cannot initialize a drive using   
     Adaptec Storage Manager. You must use the BIOS Array  
     Configuration Utility (ARC).
