Dell EqualLogic will release a V4.0.2 kit later in October 2008 that addresses these update issues.<BR/><BR/> * In single member groups, all iSCSI connections will be on Ethernet port zero until the array is restarted again. This is due to an issue network load balancing. While this does not affect normal operations it will affect performance and availability.<BR/> * Longer reboot times on the first restart after the upgrade in some configurations<BR/> * Long update times when updating Type 5 controllers without notification<BR/><BR/>If you have not updated to V4.0.1 we suggest you wait until V4.0.2 is released.<BR/><BR/>If you have updated to V4.0.1, please contact support so they can check if you have experienced the network load balancing issue. This issue can be correct with the help of support without restarting the array.</I>Stuart Mycockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16245760575527919346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874450068536183384.post-31867527451178779232008-09-14T22:17:00.000+02:002008-09-14T22:17:00.000+02:00yeah i also see it that way. seems like the dell guys let the eql guys do all their stuff like before the acquisition.Joerg Rietherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04185656304963459326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874450068536183384.post-85111416405502009502008-09-14T14:15:00.000+02:002008-09-14T14:15:00.000+02:00Amazing isn't it... 3.3.3 is a patch intended for people not ready to update to 4.0.1. V4.0.1 is the latest greatest. It's good to see that Dell hasn't slowed these guys down at all...Paul Pundithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12334152860485175033noreply@blogger.com
