Reboot Corrupts the Kernel Registry (Itanium Systems Only) The reboot command used with the -r -n -q options corrupts the kernel registry /stand/current/krs/config.krs after reboot. You may encounter this defect when using the Oracle 10g RAC with the cluster ready service. Any error detected by Oracle leading to the reboot -n may cause this corruption and result in an unusable system.
Memory Discrepancy with parstatus Command When using the parstatus command on PA-RISC platforms, the amount of memory allocated for CLM may not match the amount of CLM requested due to some memory being reserved exclusively for firmware as shown in the following example: parstatus -Vp0 [Partition] Partition Number : Partition Name : Status : IP Address : Primary Boot Path : Alternate Boot Path : HA Alternate Boot Path : PDC Revision : IODCH Version : Cell Architecture : CPU Compatibility : CPU Speed : Core
