				PATCH V86F-3

Patch Title:    Sparing size, Save_Configuration, UA buffer loss
HSOF Version:   MSS RAID Controllers (HSG80 V86  / HSG60 V86)
Patch Number:   3	
Date:           19-Sept-2001

I.     Patch Description:

   Problem Symptoms:  
     1.  Storage units containing Save_Configuration data written by an
         MSS Control Module (ACS) version prior to V86 will be shown as
         existing by V86, and presumably is valid (which it is not).  
     2.  A replacement disk drive of equal capacity to a failing
         drive can not be used as the spare if the the drive involved
         has Save_configuration data written by a prior to a V86 version
         of MSS Control Module (ACS) on that drive/unit. 
     3.  MSS RAID IBM StorWatch MSS Specialist (HSG80) crash with LFC 02F60103 and 43130100.

   Background:   
     Metadata region was required to expand due to V86
     functionality enhancements.  

   Resolution: 
     1.  When storage unit is discovered to have an old version of
         metadata area allocated,  the metadata will be invalidated so
         that the old Save_Configuration data disappears. 
     2.  Doing solution #1, resolves the capacity issue during
         spare device replacements for failed drives. 
     3.  This patch will ensure that MSS RAID IBM StorWatch MSS Specialist 
         (HSG80) handle UA traffic and prevent buffer loss.
