HP Insight Control 7.3 Update 1 Release Notes

HP Systems Insight Manager may not recognize the installed HP Insight Control power management
that followed immediately after an uninstallation of power management
When uninstalling HP Insight Control power management from HP-UX, HP Systems Insight Manager
will be restarted. If power management is installed immediately after it is uninstalled and before
Systems Insight Manager has fully restarted, power management will be installed successfully but
Systems Insight Manager may not recognize that power management is installed.
Suggested action
Use mxstatus to verify that Systems Insight Manager has fully restarted before attempting to
install power management. Use the mxstop and mxstart options to install the tools waiting to
be installed.
Crystal Reports: Racks in datacenter views show wrong color in Japanese
The DataCenter View page on these reports shows each rack in the datacenter in the column and
row it occupies by color, which represents the maximum recorded temperature for equipment in
that rack. That maximum temperature value is also displayed in the view.
When you run the reports in Japanese, the colors do not reflect the temperature; instead, they are
random colors. However, the temperature still shows the correct value in the Japanese reports.
Suggested action
Run the report in English or ignore the color of the racks and look only at the temperature value
displayed in the racks.
Insight Control power management can underreport consumer power, resulting in the appearance
of a large drop in power
Underreported use of consumer power can appear in the Power/Thermal graphs as large stair-step
drops in power when you view the power history of the rack and datacenter. However, not all
graphed power drops are due to under reporting, so not all power drops can be considered false.
Suggested action
Use the Clear Calculated History tool to clear the history of the rack, datacenter, and so forth and
then use Calculate Power History to re-aggregate the history power data. Then view the
Power/Thermal page to see the revised results.
