Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5 available
Apple made 5MB of fresh meat available today for all you early adopters. Get your hands on Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5 Update via either Software Update or the standalone installer. Along with a pretty fair list of new features and a few fibre channel compatibility updates, the release brings some new procedures for adding and moving drives and arrays, as well as for replacing controller modules. The update is recommended for all Xserve RAID users; still, spend an appropriate amount of time with the README -- wouldn't want to hurt yourself out there on that cutting edge.

- Allows Write cache flushing to be disabled to prevent throughput drops when
used in realtime applications (such as video capture).
Hurrah
Installed it today on three new RAIDs and no harm done. Needed to restart the
RAIDs after as they appeared to hang but they came back OK. Strangely this was
not mentioned in the read me. All three behaved the same.
