HP Integrity Servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Release Notes v5.5

Servers All Integrity
Workaround Use the command line interface for the most complete view of system status.
The command line is active and displays status at all times prior to video
initialization at power on, and at all times during the system operation. The
command line is accessible through the Management Processor interface.
NOTE: If you have a monitor connected directly to the system, the video does
not go blank.
Network Interface Cards (NICs)
Warning message not a cause for concern
Issue At system power-up, you may see a warning message (with a source of b57nd
or e1000) indicating a disconnect. With the A7073A card, Event ID 4 is specified,
and with the A9899A card, Event ID 27.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround This is not an error, but rather a side-effect of the auto-negotiation process used
by the A7073A and A9899A cards. The cards do connect at the end of that
process. You can verify this by going into the Event Viewer, locating the Warning
message, and seeing the Informational message that follows it, indicating a
successful connection (Information Event ID 11 for the A7073A card; Information
Event ID 32 for the A9899A card).
Power Management
PAL_HALT_LIGHT disables idle power state
Issue The PAL_HALT_LIGHT registry edit disables the idle power state (C1) on all
Itanium processors in the system. You must reboot the system for the change
to take effect. For typical workloads, this modification improves system
performance and responsiveness at the expense of a slightly increased power
consumption.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround This is not an error. To re-enable the idle power state (C1) on all Itanium
processors in the system, remove the PAL_HALT_LIGHT registry edit by going
to Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel. You must them reboot the
system for the change to take effect.
PAL_HALT_LIGHT status not displayed in HP-SUM, VCRM, and SMS
Issue After installation or uninstallation, the current status of the PAL_HALT_LIGHT
smart component (cp006607.exe) for Windows Server 2003 on Itanium-based
system is not indicated in the HP Smart Update Manager (HP-SUM), Version
Control Repository Manager (VCRM), and Systems Management Server (SMS).
Servers All Integrity
Workaround This is not an error. Because the PAL_HALT_LIGHT smart component is actually
a registry edit rather than a true installation, its status cannot be displayed in
HP-SUM, VCRM, or SMS.
Partition Manager
C++ Runtime Library error message can be ignored
Issue During shutdown, systems running Partition Manager may display a dialog
on the GUI console indicating a Visual C++ Runtime error.
