Re: [cobalt-users] Raq550 and RAID issue

["Glenn Knox" <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, every single 550 chassis that I have pulled straight out of the box has 
done this. There is a patch that was issued a while ago (Dan or Gerald will 
probably remember the patch number off the top of their head :) ) that 
solved this issue.

I have a "Patch Disk" that we constantly update that has all of the current 
patches, which we use to image the units before they are deployed, so I 
can't recall the EXACT patch number.

Best advice, make 100% sure that your 550 is fully patched.
