Important Notes:
================
1. Use latest Novell Service packs for the Netware version you are using.
2. MegaRAID drivers: Mega4_xx.ham, 
   
   Mega4_xx.ham works with:
      a. NWPAUPGRADE package
      b. Netware v4.2
   Only Mega4_xx.ham works with:
      a. Netware v5.x
      b. Netware v6.x

3. Use the MEGA4_xx.ham driver whenever possible. 
   Other drivers are provided for older versions of 
   Netware.
4. The driver will load and display all possible slots 
   where it find a supporting device. (Ex. If there are 
   2 438's in the system in slot 2 & 7, the driver will 
   display slots 2 & 7 and prompt the user to choose a 
   slot number.  If the driver is loaded a second time, 
   it will only display the last unused slot.    
5. Virtual Sizing

   Prerequisites:  
     - CTRL-M Objects->Logical Drives->Virtual Sizing 
       set to ENABLED.
   Features: 
     - /VS option can be specified on the command-line 
       for the driver, e.g. load mega4xx.ham /vs=288 to 
       change the default size recognized by the driver. 
     - Default "Virtual Size" is 80GB, the minimum
     - Mask write and read from last cylinder - 64K for 
       a 64K region only.
   Limitations:
     - NSS Partitions are not supported.
   Advantage:
     - Allows online capacity expansion limited by 
       available drives in an array.

6. Dynamic Volume Expansion
   Prerequisites:  
     - CTRL-M Objects->Logical Drives->Virtual Sizing 
       set to DISABLED.
   Features: 
     - Standard Media Manager functions supported
   Limitations:
     - Four (4) NetWare Partitions are possible, so 
       only 4 OCE (Online Capacity Expansion) will 
       be possible per logical drive.
     - Requires MEGAMGR Utility to activate.
     - Can NOT delete a partition created unless 
       you restart the server or unload/reload 
       driver instance.
   Advantage:
     - No preset Virtual Size or option needs to 
       be provided for this feature
     - NSS Partitions supported
