Meaning that I no longer have to make specific entries for the DS4800 under the "devices" section? > See http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2009-0232.html for more details. I have, and this has literally no "details". I'm not clear what it means by "default configurations were added for..." - does this mean the required config data is buried in the kernel / driver bits? Just trying to find out some CURRENT info on multipath and the IBM DS4000 class storage, it still looks to me like I need to edit multipath.conf, and I still need to install RDAC and use its "subdevices" in the conf file. And it that's the case, I don't believe I can run RHEL5U3 because the latest RDAC is ancient (as always) I am really hoping that RDAC is no longer required...... _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
