SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 March 2013

Limitations and workarounds
• Problem: The Field Replaceable Units (FRU's) that are erroneous and marked for
deconfiguration, the health status on HP SMH will not be in synchronization with the health
state on the Onboard Administrator (OA) homepage.
Description: On HP Superdome 2, the FRU's on which errors are found, and Superdome 2
Analysis Engine has marked them for deconfiguration on the next reboot, the bad health status
will not be reflected on the HP SMH page. This is applicable to HP SMH property pages for
processor, memory and blade FRU's.
Workaround: Please check the Health Repository on the OA for the latest information on the
health of all the FRU's or alternatively, the OA homepage.
• Problem: Two SFM processes are running when SFM is upgraded . This limitation is not
applicable to the following:
◦ Systems that have SFM C.07.00.04.06 (March 2010) or later OE release fresh installed.
◦ Systems that have upgraded to SFM C.07.00.07.01 (May 2010) or later.
Description: When SFM is upgraded from any version prior to C.07.00.04.06 (March 2010)
release to C.07.01.06.01 (September 2010) version, some systems that have previous events
in the database, the cimprovagt process for SFMProviderModule may consume excessive
amount of memory or produce a core dump. The process list may display two cimprovagt
process for SFMProviderModule. One of this process is orphan and will not monitor
hardware(s).
Workaround: Follow the steps given below before upgrading SFM to C.07.01.06.01 version.
◦ Disable SFMProviderModule using the following command:
# cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
• Problem: IPMI FRU calls fail when a blade with Monarch Management Processor 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.
Description: Indication delivered by SFM does not display all the IP addresses in
NetworkAddresses property of CIM_AlertIndication class when a new IP address is configured
or an old IP address is changed at runtime.
Workaround: To reflect newly configured IP Addresses in SFM Indication, disable and enable
SFMProviderModule using the following commands
cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
