Problem: IPMI FRU calls fail when a blade with MMP is inserted into a different slot.
Description: On HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 & BL890c i2 Server Blades system, when blades are moved across different slots in an
enclosure, the inventory shown by enumerating HP_Blade or the blade property page on HP SMH does not reflect the correct set of blades on the
system.
Workaround: This problem has the following two workarounds:
1. Use the Onboard Administrator to determine the total number of blades on the system.
2. Disable SFMProviderModule using the
cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule command. Run mv /var/opt/sfm/data/sdrcache
/tmp/sdrcache
command to move the sdrcache file and enable SFMProviderModule cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
Problem: CIM_AlertIndication.NetworkAddresses does not contain all assigned IP addresses.
