It will not affect any device drivers. 1.2 Limitations SSL is a commonly used security technology that uses encryption to provide secure TCP/IP communication. In order to comply with regulations regarding the export of products that contain cryptography, the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II is shipped without SSL support. In order to install SSL, the installation key file must be obtained and loaded into the Remote Supervisor Adapter II via the web interface. Once the file is loaded, SSL is installed and can be enabled or disabled as desired. If there is an error in loading the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II software, retry loading the software by repeating the instructions in section 3.0. 1.3 Enhancements - none 1.4. Level of Recommendations and Prerequisites for the update: - Multi-lun support is needed in order to mount more then one remote drive simultaneously. The linux kernel 2.4.20 and later have the appropriate multi-lun support, however this support needs to be enabled at kernel build time. Currently, only the SLES 8.0 SP3 distribution has multi-Lun support available and enabled. RedHat AS 3.0 has a 2.4.21 kernel, but does not have multi-lun support enabled by default. 1.5 Dependencies: - BIOS version 1.10 or greater is required to support the IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II. 2.0 Change History ________________________ IBM Remote Supervisor Adapter II Update Version 1.02, REE820A - Added SSH support - Added DNS support for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol - Enhanced the command line interface - Corrected problem where server is non-responsive 76 days after reset. - Fixed problem with clearing Daylight Savings Time (DST) mode across multinode systems. - Corrected problems with lflash and wflash firmware update utilities. - Fixed problem where user permissions could not be set from the web interface.
