Use vxdisksetup to initialize disk failed with error "Device does not match the kernel configuration"

Description
Error Message
The libvxibmds4k.so claim the array failed with error "IBM_DS claim_device: Inquiry 0xc7 failed for /dev/rhdiskxx"
Cause
We found this array is not exactly a DS4700, but a DS5020.
DS5020 seems all the same with DS4700, but the minimum firmware for DS5020 is "07.60.xx.xx", which is not supported by RDAC. So far, DS5020 is not on the HCL.
Resolution
Use DS4700 and downgrade the firmware version to support RDAC.
Applies To
DS5020 array with RDAC
