DESCRIPTION:

This Softpaq creates Compaq Solaris Driver Update (DU)  Diskettes  for
Compaq SCSI, Smart  Array, Fibre  Channel and Compaq Second Generation
Array Controllers for Solaris 2.6 Intel Platform Edition.

CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE:

Following changes were made  in  the  Compaq  Second  Generation  Array

Following changes were made  in  the  Compaq  SCSI Controller driver

Note:
Compaq Second Generation Array Controller Driver 'cpqary2' ver 1.30, 
ver. 1.40,  and  future  versions  are  incompatible  with  versions 
ver. 1.10  and  earlier.  Beginning  with  'cpqary2' ver. 1.30,  the 
driver reports  different  geometry  from that reported by 'cpqary2' 
ver. 1.10 and earlier versions.

and earlier versions to 'cpqary2' ver 1.30 and later versions should
not  be  attempted.   Data loss  may  occur with  an upgrade.  It is 
recommended that the user back up  all  the data and  re-install the  
system using the latest version of 'cpqary2' (ver. 1.30 or later).
