1. Novell OES is supported on this kernel.
2. SNIA HBA API Supported.
3. FC−SW environments using Brocade 2800 or EMC DS−16B require switch firmware 2.5.0d or greater.
4. DOS boot device maximum accessible capacity is 2GB. Netware SYS volume must be in LUN 0.
5. NetWare boot support is contingent on migration of the DOS boot partition to an NSS partition. NetWare will warn you of the possibility of data corruption if you convert the DOS boot

5. NetWare boot support is contingent on migration of the DOS boot partition to an NSS partition. NetWare will warn you of the possibility of data corruption if you convert the DOS boot
partition to an NSS partition. The risk of data corruption is during I/O to the C: drive while in the NetWare debugger, or while writing reboot log files during an "Auto Restart After
Abend". When you load DOSFAT, please set "Auto Restart After Abend" to 0 to avoid the possibility of data corruption.

6. Remote boot not supported with PERC controllers enabled in system BIOS.
7. No MirrorView or SnapView used on boot LUNs.
8. Requires "SCAN ALL LUNs" in AUTOEXEC.NCF just before the "Mount All" statement.
9. For any CLARiiON SP port configured to a host for booting, the maximum number of logical volumes allowed on that port is 32.

found in previous boot documentation.
12. To enable failover with fabric boot DOSFAT.NSS must be loaded from the autoexec.ncf. In a failed condition the c:\ partition will not failover
correctly but the DOSFAT_C: partition will.
13. Access Logic required, direct connect or fabric, (no booting through switch inter−switch links)

supported.
19. Certain HBA models may be too large to fit into this server's PCI or PCI−X slots. A low−profile HBA may be required. Consult your server owner's guide before
purchasing HBAs for this server.
20. Support for 4GB fibre channel HBAs requires an IBM SPORE to be submitted to IBM with a request of system BIOS 56A.
21. HP Netserver LH3000 U3 is supported in the same configurations as the standard LH 3000.
22. Must use standard PCI 32bit/33MHz slot for SCSI

accomodate 64−bit HBAs, this shielding must be removed, or modified to allow the 64−bit HBA to fully seat in the 32−bit slots.
29. Includes both Pentium PRO and XEON models
30. PowerEdge 2550 and PowerVault 775N support a maximum of 2 Emulex HBAs at one time and the total PCI power cannot exceed 20 Watts.
