You must install this Support Module with RDM Version 4.20.2. 2.0 ISSUE RESOLVED BY THIS MODULE ----------------------------------- The RDM Support Module for Toshiba drives resolves the issue caused by using brand new Toshiba hard drives in IBM blades, when using RDM 4.20.2. In that situation, RDM 4.20.2 does not correctly validate the RAID configuration if one is setup. This only happens with brand new, never used Toshiba drives, and necessitates one to actually first manually configure and sync the RAID setup at least once, after which the problem never recurs. This module will allow RDM to correctly validate the RAID setup, as RDM does for all other supported configurations, making manual setup unnecessary. To resolve this problem: 1. Verify you have RDM Version 4.20.2 installed on your server by selecting Director Console -> Help -> Product Information, then finding the Remote Deployment Manager build number in the Extension entry. RDM 4.20.2 has build number 10212 2. Replace the file install.bat in your RDM installation directory with the one provided in this update. For example: ..\program files\RDM\local\env\o\i\install.bat 3. Replace the scan.exe file in the RDM install directory with the one provided in this update. For example: ...\program files\RDM\local\env\en\scan.exe 4. Use a unzipping program to open ...\program files\RDM\repository\environment\dos\DOSUTILS.ZIP and replace the scan.exe file in that repository with the one provided in this update. 5. Run RDM\local\env\mkimages.bat 6. You can now scan and deploy the WNI to supported blades. 3.0 SUPPORT WEB SITES ---------------------- The following Web pages provide resources for understanding, using, and troubleshooting RDM and systems-management tools. o IBM RDM 4.20 Web page: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/systems_management/sys_migration/rdm.html This Web page presents an overview of RDM.
