Array,  and   Third  Generation   Array   Controllers for Solaris 7 Intel 
Platform Edition.


CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE:

Following changes were  made  in  the  Compaq   Second   Generation Array 
Controller Driver 'cpqary2' ver 1.50.

*  Added PAE Support.

Following changes were made   in  the   Compaq   SCSI  Controller  driver
'cpqncr' ver 3.70.

*  Added PAE Support.
*  Added fix for SCSI bus speed negotiation.
*  Does not support Compaq Integrated Single Channel Wide Ultra2 
   SCSI Controller.

The following additional drivers will be released with this softpaq.

* Compaq Third Generation Array Controller Driver 'cpqary3' Ver 1.0.
* Adaptec Ultra160 Device Driver 'cadp160' Ver 1.21.

Note:  
In order to use  Compaq  Integrated  Single  Channel  Wide  Ultra2  SCSI 
Controller  on   Solaris  7,  you  will  need  to  have    Compaq   SCSI  
Controller driver Ver 3.60. Support for the Compaq   Integrated   Single 
Channel  Wide  Ultra2  SCSI  Controller  will  be  available   again  in 
the next revision of the driver, Ver 3.80.

Note:
Compaq  Second  Generation  Array  Controller  Driver 'cpqary2' ver 1.30
and  later   versions  are   incompatible  with  versions  ver 1.20  and  
earlier.  Beginning  with  'cpqary2'  ver. 1.30,   the   driver  reports  
different geometry from that reported by 'cpqary2' ver. 1.20 and earlier 
versions.

WARNING:
Because of this incompatibility, upgrading from  'cpqary2' ver. 1.20 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).
