IBM IntelliStation POWER 285 Technical Overview and Introduction
After the SCSI disk hot-swap procedure, you can expect to find SCSI_ERR10 logged in the AIX
5L error log, with the second word of the sense data equal to 0017 . It is generated from a
SCSI bus reset issued by the SES to reset all processes when a drive is inserted, and it is not
an issue.
A disk lock feature (FC 6585) is also available to secure the disk drives so that they cannot be
removed.
2.7 RAID options
Internal hardware RAID is available on the IntelliStation POWER 285 system.
Install the Dual Channel SCSI RAID Enablement Card (FC 1907). Install four disk drives in
the 4-pack DASD backplane (FC 6574). This enables RAID 0, 5, or 10 capabilities within a
single 4-pack of DASD with one RAID controller.
2.8 Operating system requirements
AIX 5L has been specifically developed and enhanced to exploit and support the extensive
RAS features on IBM System p5 servers. At the time of writing, IBM AIX 5L Version 5.2 and
Version 5.3 is supported on the IntelliStation POWER 285 system with the following release
requirements:
򐂰 2.1 GHz processors:
– AIX 5L for POWER V5.3 with 5300-04 Technology Level (APAR IY77273), or later
– AIX 5L for POWER V5.2 with 5200-08 Technology Level (APAR IY77270), or later
򐂰 1.9 GHz processors:
– AIX 5L for POWER V5.3 with Maintenance Package 5300-03 (IY71011), or later
– AIX 5L for POWER V5.2 with Maintenance Package 5200-07 (IY67914) or later
The increased capacity of DVD means fewer media to handle when installing from DVD
media. If you want to receive the AIX 5L software on DVD media, order the DVD preference
feature FC 3435.
IBM periodically releases maintenance packages for the AIX 5L operating system. These
packages are available on CD-ROM (FC 0907), or they can be downloaded from the IBM
Web site:
http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/
You can also get individual operating system fixes and information about obtaining AIX 5L
service at this site. In AIX 5L Version 5.3, the
suma
command is also available to help the
administrator automate the task of checking and downloading operating system downloads.
For more information about the
suma
command functionality, refer to:

If you have problems downloading the latest maintenance level, ask your IBM Business
Partner or IBM representative for assistance.
