Note: 
In  order  to  use  Compaq  Integrated  Single  Channel  Wide  Ultra2 
SCSI Controller  on  Solaris  8, 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

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).
