ES47, ES80 and GS1280 System Issues
• KZPDC controller placement and configuration in model ES47, GS80, and
GS1280 systems is governed by the guidelines included in the associated
platform QuickSpec.
• ES47, ES80, and GS1280 system environments are now fully supported with
the Smart Array 5300A runtime utilities under OpenVMS. This support is
provided with OpenVMS Management Agents kit version 3.02 and the Smart
Array Configuration Utility XE version B0126. The previous restriction has
now been removed which limited support of the KZPDC product on the ES47,
ES80, and GS1280 platform to a single controller instance per partition when
the Smart Array 5300A utilities are installed.
• The ADFU v1.00A shipped on a CD with the Smart Array 5300A option kit
does not support ES47, ES80 and GS1280 platforms. A future release of the
ADFU utility is planned which will provide the necessary support for these
platforms. ADFU utility updates can be downloaded from the Smart Array
5300A web site when available.
• The SRM console environment variable “HEAP_EXPAND” does not exist on
ES47, ES80, and GS1280 platforms. Customers may disregard any
requirement to set this variable when the KZPDC product is installed on these
system types.
Alpha System Firmware Issues and Restrictions
• Smart Array 5300A logical volumes configured as operating system dump
devices must be resident on the KZPDC controller which is specified by the
BOOTBIOS console environment variable.
• See the ES47, ES80, and GS1280 platform specific section of this document
for considerations in setting the console environment variable
‘HEAP_EXPAND’ on those platforms.
