    Hi Jyard,

    1) I have this Fastt and exp710, it's necessary upgrade microcode (fastt and
    exp710)

    2) Download this document
    ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/pc/pccbbs/pc_servers_pdf/gc26-7705-01.pdf , read
    the "Table 11. File sets required for AIX 5.x RDAC" and check on your
    machines this filesets required in this document.

    3) If you upgrade your rdac with this filesets and can add lun's in your
    machines and you error when you write cfgmgr is "can't initialize/open the
    odm", you have upgrade your leve of aix.

    I has this experience.

    best regars,

    Julian Rey
