Issue 6 Software RAID 5 not supported
Description
HP and Novell have discovered issues where failed drives in software RAID 5
environments may not properly rebuild and data corruption may occur.
Workaround
Use software RAID 0 or 1, or use hardware RAID 5 as an alternative.

release of SP1 or later. Software RAID 0 and 1 are fully supported with the base media.

cause the server to hang. This problem only appears in the server browser and does not
occur when accessing the Web Agent from a Windows-based workstation.

Do not attempt to access the Web Agent from the server browser. Use a workstation
browser instead.

Issue 10 Unpredictable behavior with the ATI Rage XL 8 MB video driver
Description
The ATI Rage XL 8 MB video driver may cause unpredictable behavior in the server GUI.
Selection of this driver on supported servers may cause problems varying from loss of
keyboard and/or mouse functionality to server hangs and abends. This problem is
intermittent.
Workaround
See Solution.
Solution
Use the default video driver that is automatically selected during installation. Novell has
decided to archive this driver, so it will no longer be maintained and it will be removed
from the Novell Overlay CDs for SP1 and later. This driver will remain on the base
media; however, it should not be used.
Issue 11 Server may hang with large NSS read-ahead counts
Description
The NSS file system can hang if the SET parameter "NSS Read Ahead" is set to a value
greater than 128. The server will appear to be functioning, but no disk activity can be
completed due to constrained resources as a result of the parameter setting.
Workaround
Set the "NSS Read Ahead" parameter to a value of 128 or less.
Solution
Novell is planning changes for SP1 that will properly comprehend settings greater than
128.
