Release Notes for PA Systems March 2008 Release

On rp5470 servers, section 3, subtest 1 & 2 are disabled.
ON rp5470 servers with 875MHz CPUs, Section 8: Subtest 004 DMA Ext. Interrupt Test fails.
IOTEST2
IOTEST2 runs very slowly on c8000 machines when USB devices are connected.
MAKODIAG
Section 81 fails after several loops when run with other ODE Tools.
Workaround: Enter resume at the command prompt to continue with the test.
Section 24 hangs on c8000 machines when run with other ODE tools in a loop when core I/O ethernet card is
A7011A or A7012A.
MAPPER2
Runs very slowly on c8000 machines when USB devices are connected.
Does not list MSA1500 devices when connected to A6795A Fibre Channel HBA.
Does not detect EVA3000 and EVA5000 storage array devices when connected to A6795A Fibre channel
controller.
MEM2
Due to a firmware bug in zx1 based systems, MEM2 detects SBE and pauses. However, it does not report the
correct location of the faulty DIMM.
Due to a firmware bug in zx1 based systems, MEM2 works only when run from a disk. If booted from LAN, it
will work for the first run as long as the user does not exit to the ISL prompt. If exited, the user needs to reset
the server before running MEM2 again.
MOABDIAG
The MOABDIAG tool hangs after running the ESCDIAG tool.
Workaround: Run the MOABDIAG tool before running the ESCDIAG tool.
The MOABDIAG tool hangs intermittently in Section 3 on 32-way HP 9000 SuperDome/sx2000 systems.
PLUTODIAG
Section 5 does not receive any interrupts on the c8000 system.
REODIAG
Two CPUs are deconfigured in rp7410 after running section 8. Further investigation in section 8 is needed.
Therefore, forwarding of interrupt 0 to the processor in section 8 is temporarily skipped.
Section 11 is not implemented because the PCI Exerciser card, HP E2928A, is no longer supported.
TOGODIAG
TOGODIAG takes variable amount of time to load on rp8420 systems. The delay is due to the PDC calls that
takes more time to fetch the system information.
