5. A PI-only install on a supported platform will work properly.
6. It is recommended that you install all software components of Red Hat EL 3.0. The Red Hat default minimum set
does not meet the requirements of ISM. To use ISM on SMP Red Hat EL 3.0 ISM requires that the following
packages be manually selected when installing Red Hat 3.0:
o compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
o compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
o compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
o compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.122.i386.rpm
o w3c-libww-5.4.0-5.i386.rpm
Documentation/User Interfaces Notes
1. When using DPCCLI: When using the DPCCLI “console” command it is suggested that you use the HyperTerminal
method of connection (if connecting from Microsoft® Windows®), as it will display and interact better with the
BIOS setup and SCSI configuration screens. Make sure the emulation is set to “auto detect”. If when using the
console feature of DPCCLI you get random characters, close and reopen hyper terminal to re-establish a coherent
connection. Only a single DPCCLI session is supported at one time. After entering the “console” in DPCCLI, the
only way to return to DPCCLI is to disconnect the hyper terminal session and reconnect.
2. Under “Configuration Using the System Setup Utility (SSU)” Step C should read “Select the OPTIONS tab at the
top then select Configure Terminal Mode.” Instead of “In the Connection Mode box, pull down the menu and select
Direct Connect Mode or Modem Connection, whichever is correct for your server.”
3. Context sensitive help may not be available.
PROBLEM: In some instances the Microsoft® question mark icon for context-sensitive help may not be available.
IMPLICATION: User may not be able to access help for specific items in the interface.
WORKAROUND: Look for information in the general help documentation.
4. Help system may contain duplicate items in the index or have formatting issues.
PROBLEM: On internationalized releases, duplicate entries and terms may be displayed in the help indexes, or the
help topics may have formatting problems.
IMPLICATION: User may find help navigation difficult.
WORKAROUND: None.
Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC)
1. Keyboard shortcuts do not always work.
PROBLEM: The ISM GUI is split into two windows or panes. The left pane is used for navigation. The right pane
is used for presentation of information. If the current window focus is in the right pane, then keyboard shortcuts will
not work. For example, the F5 key will not refresh the screen, the
TAB key will not navigate, and the Alt+A shortcut
will not apply. If the current window focus is in the left pane, then the F5 key will refresh the data displayed,
including the right pane.
IMPLICATION: The mouse and menu must be used instead of the keyboard.
WORKAROUND: Use the mouse to click in the left pane to apply the window focus. This will allow use of the F5
key for refresh. The
TAB key and Alt+A key do not work.
