Fixes & Enhancements
BIOS - 06.22.03.00
NEW FUNCTIONALITY: None.
DEFECT FIXES:
-Implements a change to allow some RAID1 volumes created with earlier
SAS 6/iR FW revisions to be migrated to controllers with this FW revision.
- Implements a change to order the controller list based on defined
controller type instead of static chip-based references
- Updates verify functionality to allow user to escape once
Reassign All has been selected and drive is no longer responding.
- Removes rescan for devices on any keystroke in view array screen.
Rescan will now only be performed on Alt+N keystroke.
FIRMWARE - 00.25.47.00
NEW FUNCTIONALITY:
- Modifies coercion of RAID volumes to align with PERC. This facilitates
migration of SAS6 RAID volumes to PERC6.
DEFECT FIXES:
-Implements a change to allow some RAID1 volumes created with earlier
SAS 6/iR FW Revisions to be migrated controllers with this FW revision or later.
-Improves robustness in handling Task Management events during heavy IO
-Implements a change to correct an issue with initialization of interposer
attached SATA drives where link to the drive could be left in a state where
it was possible that I/Os could be timed out and have to be retried by
the host.

When adding a SAS 6/iR controller to a system, either by physically
adding an adapter or by enabling the integrated SAS controller in
the system BIOS, the new controller may need to be added to the
controller boot order in the SAS 6/iR BIOS configuration Utility.
At POST, hit CTRL-C to enter the utility and verify or modify the
controller boot order.
Migration of RAID Volumes from SAS 6/iR controllers to PERC6 controllers
is supported only for volumes originally created on SAS 6/iR controllers
running FW revision 00.25.47.00 or later.
This version of firmware will not ensure complete compatibility with an
older version of the management application.
OpenManage 5.5 or greater is recommended.
It is recommended that the customer upgrade the management application
