Upaded modules list to identify correct controllers. Driver – 6.01n: \NW\Driver Changes with respect to (6.01m) 1. Changed the version number for official release. Changes with respect to (6.01l) 1. Added support for 518/520 controllers Changes with respect to (6.01k) 1. Pedge3.ham: Added string name (banner) PERC 4/Di to support ROMB. 2. Pedge3.ddi: ROMB support added (DELL~PERC 4/Di Adapter) Changes with respect to (6.01j) 1. Removed 494/503 controllers support from the pedge3.ddi. 2. During the SST (Server stress test) test DELL4400 got locked up. 3. There is a LOCK leakage in the driver. Changes in respect to previous release (6.01i) 1. Create 4-RAID 0 delete LD-0 then create RAID 1 the list device shows RAID 0 instead of RAID1. This has been fixed by upgrading the InquiryInfo struct. 2. Connect some NDD device (TAPE, CD ROM) in to the controller. List device shows the device correct. Pull out the cable of the tape device. List device still showing the tape driver present. This has been fixed by clearing the device and let the upper layer knows if the device is not present. 3. If the driver supports random logical drive deletion the driver returns status 0 if the opcode 0xA4, sub-opcode=0x2A and mbox3=1. Changes in respect to initial release (6.01h) 1. The vender and device added for ROMB support. 2. Fixed a problem in the driver to ScanForNewDevices after the deletions of logical drives.

"Number of logical drives" shown in "Logical Drives Configured-xx" at some places were showing wrong values because of its improper initialization. Now it is initialized and patched properly. 11. Adapter type string in adapter menu: is now shown up to 40-chars (earlier up to 32-chars). 12. Background Initialization/Consistency Checking is distinguished thru 0xA4/0x13 firmware command on eligible firmware’s and distinctive message is shown during selection of logical drive for Initialization/Consistency checking.

Unloading Dellmon was not successful. Dellmanager reconstruction indicator seemed to be stuck however activity was showing on drives. After reboot System resumed reconstruction in dellmgr. --- System lockup when trying to unload monitor under heavy firing of firmware command. 3. The monitor did not report ending of consistency check. 4. ROMB support for the monitor utility has been removed. 5. Raid.log is no more open by the monitor program, when raid.log is viewed by the user. 6. Exit Check condition is implemented when exiting monitor utility to check and wait for the command completion by firmware. 7. Earlier consistency progress check is performed for only logical drives state undergoing consistency check. Now all logical drives are checked for consistency progress check so that its end can be tracked 8. ROMB support for the monitor utility added.
