OS Patch Requirements

To configure and use RAID disk volumes on the SPARC Enterprise T5140 or T5240
server, you must install the appropriate patches. For the latest information on
patches for the SPARC Enterprise T5140 or T5240 server, see the latest product notes
for your system.

Installation procedures for patches are included in text README files that
accompany the patches.

Disk Volumes

From the perspective of the on-board disk controller on the SPARC Enterprise T5140
and T5240 servers, disk volumes are logical disk devices comprising one or more
complete physical disks.
