HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1B-6 Patch Summary and Release Notes
command and Manage CPUs suitlet will not let you put them on line until you use the ccod
-l or ccod -p command to either loan or purchase the CPU.
The workaround is to use the codconfig [cpu_id_list] command to mark the CPUs as
spare, and then use either the hwmgr command or the Manage CPUs suitlet to take them off line
(sometimes referred to as offlining them). In the following example, N is the CPU number.
# hwmgr -offline -name cpuN
If, for example, the codconfig command returns the message "Error for CPU 2: Unable to offline
this CPU," you would enter the following hwmgr command:
# hwmgr -offline -name cpu2
For more information, see codconfig(8) and hwmgr(8).
The Manage CPUs suitlet is available from the SysMan Menu and SysMan Station.
Repeated Reboots May Cause Panic
Repeated reboots of the system may cause a kernel memory fault panic, but does not result in
the loss of data. A reboot after the panic should be successful. A fix for this problem will be
included in a future release.
Caution on Updating to Version 5.1B with DEGXA NICs
Do not attempt to do an update installation or rolling upgrade from Version 5.1A to Version 5.1B
when the network device is a DEGXA-TA or DEGXA-SA and you have the Version 5.1A Patch
Kit 4 and the New Hardware Devices V6 (NHD6) Kit installed.
The NHD6 kit and Patch Kit 4 have provided fixes that are not in the base operating system
release for Version 5.1B. Once the update is completed using another network device and the
Version 5.1B Patch Kit 1 or higher has been applied, the DEGXA network interface cards (NICs)
can again be used for the network connection.
