SFM Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v3 September 2012 web release

Workaround: To reflect newly configured IP Addresses in SFM Indication, disable and enable
SFMProviderModule using the following commands
cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
• Problem: The firmware version of Management Processor firmware (MFW), given by
MPProvider and FirmwareRevisionProvider on HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server may be incorrect.
Description: The revision number (third field in':' separated version string) may be incorrect.
Workaround: Run the sysrev command from MP to get the correct MFW version
• Problem: The WBEM events do not get delivered to evweb.
Description: In an exceptional scenario, due to extreme stress condition, the database
component can get into a deadlock. In such cases, no events can be stored to database and
hence evweb cannot show any WBEM indication.
Workaround: Manually kill SFMProviderModule process and restart SFMProviderModule using
the following command:
cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
• Problem: After OE install, SFM generates harmless warning messages in the install log file.
Description: The following messages are generated:
PGS04838: Warning: Class HP_CommonRecordLog already exists in the repository
PGS04838: Warning: Class HP_CommonLogRecord already exists in the repository
This message is written to the log when a module is registered to the class ahead of SFM. This
is a warning message which indicates that the class is already registered.
cron may not be running - call your system administrator
warning: commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh
The message cron may not be running is logged if the cron daemon does not run during
the install. The warning commands will be executed using /usr/bin/sh occurs if
the default login shell is not defined POSIX shell /usr/bin/sh. This is a warning from cron
that the POSIX shell is used to execute commands in the crontab file. If the login shell is set to
/usr/bin/sh in the /etc/passwd file, this error is not logged.
Workaround: You can safely ignore both these warning messages.
• Problem: The second lan interface configured on a server is not accessible for web browsing.
Description: When a second lan interface was configured on a server using a private subnet
used only for cluster heartbeat traffic, the “Launch SMH” button got the second lan interface’s
address but was not accessible for web browsing.
Workaround: Disable the second lan, restart SFMProviderModule, and configure the second
lan card. After configuring, do not restart the server, Cimserver, and SFMProvider module.
In the case of a multi LAN environment configuration, do not restart any of the following:
◦ SFMProviderModule
◦ Cimserver
◦ Server
• Problem: The events and user defined subscriptions (created using Evweb) are lost when
diagnostic products are upgraded on a DRD cloned disk.

7.4.2 version was supported. However version 8.4.8 is shipped from September 2012 release.
Due to the missing data compatibility between PostgreSQL version 7.4.2 (prior to September
