Verifying Operating System Requirements
Ensure that your operating system will support the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter, use the
following appropriate procedure to verify your operating system requirements.
Using AIX
The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter is supported on the following levels of AIX or higher:
v AIX 5L Version 5.1 with the 5100-04 Recommended Maintenance Package (APAR IY44478)
v
AIX 5L Version 5.2 with the 5200-01 Recommended Maintenance Package (APAR IY44479)
To determine which maintenance level is installed on your system, type oslevel -r . Verify that the
maintenance level displayed is 5100-04, 5200-01, or higher. If no maintenance level is installed on your
system, the following is an example of the data that displays on your screen:
No recommended maintenance level information is available.
If updates are needed, the latest maintenance packages and update instructions can be downloaded from
the pSeries and RS/6000 Support Web site. The Web address is:
http://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/support. Updates can also be ordered by calling IBM Support.
Using Linux
The PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter is supported on the following Linux distributions:
v Any distribution based on United Linux 1.0 Service Pack 3, such as SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8
Service Pack 3 or newer
v Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or newer
v SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 or newer
To determine which release is installed on your system, refer to your Linux distributor’s documentation. If
updates are needed, obtain them from your Linux distributor or download them from the IBM StorageIO
Web Site. The Web address is: http://www-124.ibm.com/storageio/ipr/.
Note: SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 SP3 used the
ibmsis
device driver to control the PCI-X Dual
Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID adapter. This device driver has been replaced by the
ipr
device
driver, which is used on all other supported distributions. Information on using the older
ibmsis
device driver is contained in “Installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter using the
ibmsis Device Driver” on page 21. Refer to this section if you are still using this device driver.
