Release Notes for PA Systems September 2008 Release

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.
When there are memory errors in DIMM 0a or DIMM 0b, MEM2 reports the failing DIMM as "Defective
DIMM in slot a" or "Defective DIMM in slot b" respectively. Therefore, it is safe to infer that the error has
occurred in the DIMM in slot 0.
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.
