Fixes and Enhancements
Support for 2.8 software stack. Minor bug fixes from 2.8.0.6076
Additional Information
Known Limitations: This utility is a legacy utility and there are some inherent limitations. The ”disk set smart /logerr=1 (SCSI device)" command returns an error when used with the Cerc Sata 6Ch controller. Some enclosure commands fail on internal SCSI backplanes and external enclosures. Specifically, the “set alarm”, “set door”, “set fan”, “set power”, “set scsi id”, “show fan”, “show power”, and “show temperature” commands are not supported. The “controller firmware save" is an old command and should not be used. An error message is generated when deleting a container numbered 32 or higher. When you delete a container, the last device status from “fdisk –l” will not be shown and the system must be rebooted to show the accurate status.
