- If installing SLES10 using the native driver, on a system where a PERC5 or a PERC6 controller is the boot controller, please set the write policy of the VD or VDs used for the installation to "write-through". The VD write policy can be reset after the installation completes. Some systems (i.e.: r805v) have shown problems completing the installation on a write-back VD; the file system becomes read-only and the installation cannot complete.
