ISM Errata: Important Information about ISM 5.5.5 For Your HP cc3310 Carrier Grade Server

2. The win32rap service reports several error messages if NetWare® services are not installed.
PROBLEM: If ISM is installed on a console or server without installing the NetWare services, then win32rap may
report the following error messages in the application event log:
"failed to initialize transport 'ddetrdll'
"failed to initialize transport 'ipx'
"initializing winsock for ipx failed (winsock error 0x0000273f)"
IMPLICATION: These messages simply indicate that win32rap attempted to start the NetWare services. If you are
using TCP/IP for server communication, they are not a concern.
WORKAROUND: You can ignore the error if your network only supports TCP/IP.
3. The “Immediate Hardware Reset” and “Immediate Power Off” features may not work properly during initialization.
PROBLEM: During the ISM GUI initialization, if the user selects the power control actions “Immediate Hardware
Reset” or “Immediate Power Off”, the actions may not work as documented.
IMPLICATION: The power control actions “Immediate Hardware Reset” and “Immediate Power Off” may not
work properly and the server may continue to run without the desired action.
WORKAROUND: Users should wait until the ISM GUI has completed initialization (READY state in status bar)
before attempting these actions.
4. Paging alert actions may continue after paging has been removed as an alert action.
PROBLEM: If paging is configured as an alert action for a threshold and that threshold is crossed, a page alert action
will happen, as desired. If paging is then removed as an alert action from the threshold, it may still occur.
IMPLICATION: A page may be issued when not desired.
WORKAROUND: No workaround has been identified.
5. Selecting both a shutdown action and a page may interfere with page sending.
PROBLEM: If both a shutdown action and a page are selected, the page may not be sent.
IMPLICATION: A page may not be issued.
WORKAROUND: Do not configure both a page and a shutdown action on the same event.
6. Some processor temperature sensors may first show a current status of ‘unknown’ with a current reading of
‘unsupported’.
PROBLEM: The processor temperature sensors may initially show a current value of ‘unknown’ and a current
reading of ‘unsupported’. These values will be replaced by the correct data as soon as the sensor becomes active; this
can take up to two minutes. It may be necessary to manually refresh the console application before the health
indicators correctly reflect the new status values.
IMPLICATION: The processor temperature sensor status information may not be available for approximately two
minutes after the server boots. A manual refresh of the console application may be needed to correct the health
indicators of a console that started before the status information was available.
WORKAROUND: If a processor temperature sensor has a status of ‘unknown’, wait two minutes and refresh the
console display.
7. Due to the rounding of floating point values, the user can set different threshold values without variance in ISM PIC.
