a.Supports only the first 2 TB of LUNs larger than 2 TB.

b.Support for EFI labels requires the Multiterabyte Disk Support patch.

c.Support for 2 TB or larger LUNs requires Solaris 10 Update 2 (06/06).

d.Supports only LUNs of 2.2 TB or less.

Note: For best results, Quantum recommends using persistent binding for disk LUNs. For more information, contact the vendor of your HBA (host bus adapter).

For management servers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4 or 5, before installing SNFS and SNSM you must first install the kernel header files (shipped as the kernel-devel or kernel-devel-smp RPM, depending on your Linux distribution).

For servers running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, you must install the first kernel source code (shipped as the kernel-source RPM). StorNext will not operate correctly if these packages are not installed. You can install the kernel header files or kernel source RPMs by using the installation disks for your operating system.

The maximum hostname length for a StorNext server is limited to 25 characters. Before you begin the installation, verify that the destination hostname is not longer than 25 characters. (The hostname is read during the installation process, and if the hostname is longer than 25 characters the installation process could fail.)
