Release Notes for PA Systems March 2008 Release

Known Problems
Following are the known problems that are common to both 32-bit tools and 64-bit tools:
All ODE programs hangs on the PCX-U and PCX-U+ based workstations (C160, C180, C200, and C240) if the
firmware version is earlier than IODC 4.1.
Workaround: Install the firmware version IODC 4.1 and later.
After exiting from the TMMGR prompt to the ODE prompt, running any subsequent program may hang the
system. The user must use the exit all option to exit from the TMMGR prompt to the ISL prompt and reload
ODE.
Known Problems for 32-bit Tools
Following are the known problems for 32-bit tools:
Offline diagnostics may not recognize some SCSI disks attached through HP-GSC and HP-HSC cards. For
example, MAPPER may fail to recognize a lone AutoRAID Disk Array Model 12H. This problem will be fixed
in a subsequent version of the offline diagnostics.
Following lists the systems and the cards that are affected:
D/R-Class: A4107A (HP-HSC card F/W/Diff SCSI-2)
K-Class: A2969A (HP-HSC card F/W/Diff SCSI-2)
T-Class: A3644A (HP-HSC card F/W/Diff SCSI-2)
A-Class: HP-HSC card F/W/Diff SCSI-2
Workaround:
Run the search command from the Boot Console Handler (BCH) prompt.
Run the MAPPER tool or other ODE disk tools as desired.
Workaround for A180 and A180C servers:
Boot to the HP-UX prompt.
Reboot to ISL.
Run the MAPPER tool or other ODE disk tools as desired.
ASTRODIAG
At least one PCI SCSI card must be placed under each Local Bus Adapter (LBA) on sx1000 systems.
For B2000, at least one PCI SCSI card must be installed in the system to run all sections on ASTRODIAG.
CLKUTIL
This version of CLKUTIL will not work on a graphics terminal.
DINOTEST
If section 9 runs, cards on the secondary PCI bus may loose their configuration. When this happens, users must
reset the system before booting the OS.
KEYDIAG
Tested on Hversion 0x580 K-Class systems and not on Hversion 0x581 K-Class.
