HP Integrity Servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Release Notes v6.1

Application Development
Application hangs when calling the GetThreadContext function
Issue
An application that calls the GetThreadContext function might stop
functioning on a system running an Itanium-based version of Windows Server
2003. This can occur when the system is under a heavy workload.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround This is an operating system bug. HP recommends that you apply the Microsoft
hotfix to all HP Integrity servers running Windows Server 2003 (both SP1 and
SP2). See the Microsoft Knowledge Base article #947504, titled An application
that calls the GetThreadContext function may stop responding on a computer that is
running an Itanium-based version of Windows Server 2003 at http://
support.microsoft.com/?kbid=947504.
Array Configuration Utility (ACU)
Verifer.exe causes ACU inaccuracies
Issue ACU reports incorrect results when the Windows Driver Verifier
(Verifier.exe) is enabled and running in the background.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround There is no workaround at this time. To run the ACU, you must first end the
Verifier.exe process using the Windows Task Manager, then launch ACU.
Do not run both simultaneously.
Array Diagnostic Utility (ADU)
Uninstall feature not functional
Issue The ADU uninstall feature is not working.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround There is no workaround at this time.
Clustering
Cluster nodes unable to see messages
Issue Typically, events reported to the Windows Event Log are visible to all nodes
connected to the cluster. However, due to a Microsoft limitation, when an event
with more than 896 bytes in the data field is reported, only the cluster node
that reported the event can see it. Other nodes in the cluster are unable to see
this event.

Workaround There is no workaround at this time.
Device Drivers
Missing driver affects Virtual Machines
Issue The HP Integrity Baseboard Management Controller Device Driver must be
installed on all VMs for the HP Integrity VM Provider to function correctly on
these systems. The baseboard Management Controller driver (also known as
the HP Health Driver) automatically installs from the Support Pack and Reinstall
Media, or can be manually installed from the HP Smart Setup CD.
