eGatherer is now available through the IBM eServer xSeries UpdateXpress CD version 2.02 or later Thu, 18 Mar 2004 00:00:00 EST http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=ibm&lndocid=MIGR-51985 The IBM Electronic Service Agent (TM) for xSeries and Netfinity is "no-additional-charge" software that resides on the customer's system designed to monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM. It is available for two environments:

1. Open system environment: does not require system management software to be installed
2. IBM Director environment: provided as a Director Extension installed on the IBM Director Central Management Server

This monitor tracks and captures system inventory and hardware error logs and automatically reports hardware problems to IBM if the server is under a service agreement or warranty. Information collected through Electronic Service Agent is available to IBM support reps while they are working your problem. Electronic Service Agent communicates with IBM via a secure internet connection using encryption and authentication, or by a dialup connection using AT&T Global Network Services.

The ServeRAID v7.00 Support CD is not an upgrade for ServeRAID v6.20. The next scheduled update for the IBM ServeRAID 2003 Cluster solution will be contained in the IBM ServeRAID v7.10 Support release.

Attention:The Netfinity 7000 and PC Server 704 do not support the large memory block addressing used in ServeRAID firmware v4.00 and later. For these systems, the latest firmware version supported is v3.50. Flashing your ServeRAID controller firmware to a higher level than v3.50 when installed in these
systems will render your controller non-functional.

Note: The ServeRAID v7.00 Support CD does not support Itanium systems.
