ThinkSystem 430-16e SAS/SATA 12Gb HBA
ThinkSystem 430-8i SAS/SATA 12Gb HBA

The kernel modules delivered by this erratum have been made available as
part of the Red Hat Driver Update Program, which provides updated kernel
modules that add support for selected devices in advance of the next Red
Hat Enterprise Linux minor update release. We strongly recommend that
these kernel modules be only used when it is necessary to enable the
specific hardware mentioned in this erratum. Partners and customers
should continue to use the driver that is shipped in the latest Red Hat
Enterprise Linux kernel for all other devices that require this driver. (BZ#1421748)

All users who require kmod-redhat-mpt3sas are advised to install this new package.
