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.
