Sanity Tests Performed:
=========================

1. Basic OS Installation.
2. OVernight I/O Stress Tests.
3. Basic Faulting while array is under I/O Stress Tests.
4. Basic SRM sanity tests.



Platforms used:
=================

1. Oak/Spruce system for (ICH-5R)
2. Redwood SIT level system (7901) and Himalaya SIT level System (7901)
3. Palmetto (ICH-S 32 Bit mode only)

Please note that PVG does not have Palmetto or Juniper system supporting EM64T processor.


Fixed Issue(s):
===================

1. ADPmp77007(CMVC 265563) - RH3.0 QU3 AMD on Wildhorse w/ 4GB memory kernel panics.

2. ADPmp77123(CMVC 266044) - SLES 9 fails install with 4GB+ Memory on Himalaya

3. ADPmp76889(CMVC 264940) - SLES 9 EM64T on Himalaya does not see the hot spare (HostRAID)



Known Issues:
===============


1. Faulted member stays as single in SRM intermittently.

2. System hang condition upon performing Hot Swap Rebuild for a RAID 1/0, no issue with a pre-assigned spare rebuilding.

3. Wildhorse system with bootable R1/0 when is powered down behaves erratically after unloading the packages, this is seen intermittently on the SIT level hardware.
