Known Issues
1. Complete parity re-initialization during RAID migration when dirty stripe journaling disabled
Description: During a RAID migration, if the
source and destination RAID stripes are not equal in size, dirty stripe
journaling is disabled for the duration
of the migration. If a dirty shutdown occurs during a migration while journaling
is disabled, a complete parity re-initialization will be
started after the migration completes. If the stripe sizes are the same and if
the dirty stripe journaling is enabled, there will not be parity
re-initialization after the migration completes.
Workaround: There is currently no workaround.
2. Raid console error on Danish or Norwegian version of the operating system
Description: When installing the driver on a Danish or Norwegian version of Windows XP or Window 2000, the user will receive an error when the user interface is opened
Workaround: Install the driver using a have-disk installation.
