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

7
PROBLEM: User will notice some messages while loading certain MIB files in ISM 5.5.x using ESMC HOPV.
Specifically, there will be some errors loading Basebrd2.mib and rmtchas.mib. User may also not be able to
see MIB data and may get GETNEXT errors. Unloading the MIB successfully and then reloading does not fix the
issue.
IMPLICATION: It is cumbersome to the user to reboot a second time for proper MIB file loading.
WORKAROUND: User can do an additional reboot and reload the MIBs without an error.
7. Power Unit Global Table shows fully redundant for system with only two power supplies.
PROBLEM: ISM PIC shows green healthy status for the Power Unit Global table when there are only two power
supplies in the power cage that can hold three power supplies. It should show a noncritical error for a degraded power
unit redundancy.
IMPLICATION: The health status of the Power Unit Global Table could be misleading to the user on a system with
only two power supplies.
WORKAROUND: None.
8. Processor1 Temp will not log an event to the System Event Log when the lower noncritical threshold value is
crossed.
PROBLEM: There will be no system event when the CPU temp drops below the lower noncritical temperature
threshold.
IMPLICATION: Low temperature is not a likely failure scenario.
WORKAROUND: None.
Independent Hardware Vendor (IHV) Instrumentation
1. The Adaptec® SCSI component reports the wrong information about Logical Unit Drives on Mylex® Host
Adapters.
PROBLEM: On NetWare Servers, a known incompatibility between the Adaptec and the Mylex ASPI drivers can
cause the Adaptec SCSI component to report the wrong information about Logical Unit Drives on Mylex Host
Adapters.
IMPLICATION: The wrong information may display.
WORKAROUND: The SCSI DMI instrumentation requires Adaptec ASPI drivers (ASPI32.SYS and
WNASPI32.DLL). The user must load these drivers on the server. The Mylex DMI instrumentation does not require
Mylex ASPI drivers. Unless some other application requires the Mylex ASPI drivers, do not load the Mylex ASPI
drivers.
2. During Wired for Management (WfM) testing, the DMTF CompChk tool reports errors in the Adaptec MIF.
PROBLEM: The recent discovery of MIF syntax violations in Adaptec instrumentation does not compromise the
Intel® AD450NX MP system’s standing as an “WfM upgradeable” system. The SCSI instrumentation supplied by
Adaptec is not required on WfM 1.1a servers.
IMPLICATION: As a side effect of WfM testing, HP has found cases where the Adaptec MIF does not comply with
the syntax of DMTF standard groups. The WfM test suite uses the DMTF CompChk tool to scan the entire system
MIF. It reports WfM pass/fail on the specific groups required by WfM, and also notifies the user about any problems
it detects with respect to general DMI compliance for all other groups it finds registered with the service provider.
The Adaptec problems fall into this second category.
