Limitations and Workarounds
Problem: "Inventory Being Built" message seen on HP Superdome 2 while running health test for CPU or while enumerating CPU inventory
classes like HPUX_Processor, HP_ProcessorChip.
Description: Whenever a client uses the internal SFM inventory, there is a refresh invoked for processor and blade inventory on HP Superdome 2.
An "Inventory Being Built" exception is seen intermittently.
Workaround: Re-run the corresponding command immediately when the above message is seen.
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: The FRU's on which errors are found and Athena 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 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
