Known problems

Error generated during partition reboot

In HP Integrity Superdome 2 with Dynamic Cores, when partitions are managed with TiCAP turned

ON, and if one or more of the partitions goes down, the RTUs associated with the partitions are

freed up by iCAP and are available for use in other partitions. This may lead to errors while booting

the partitions that are down.

This problem can be solved by using TiCAP to boot up the partition.

Command timeout

When a command timeout occurs while executing icapmodify -a or -d,

there can be a mismatch between Intended Active and Actual Active values. You must execute

icapmodify -s to correct this mismatch.

Expiration time for TiCAP in warning message in OA syslog is not correct

If the warning period message appears in the OA syslog, the complex is in warning period. If the

expiration time for TiCAP is not logged correctly in this message, refer to the icapstatus command

output for TiCAP expiration time.

Low-level WBEM errors (HP-UX)

Occasionally, on a busy system, especially one with many partitions, you may see errors, such as

the following:

ERROR: The following low-level WBEM error occurred:

Empty HTTP response message.

or:

ERROR: The following low-level WBEM error occurred:

Locking or unlocking the target failed.

These errors result from contention for system resources from the various partitions in the complex.

If you see these messages, retry the Instant Capacity operation.

GiCAP Known problems (HP-UX)

Resolving errors during addition of Standby GM

While adding Standby GM there is a possibility of certificate exchange failure

for the Superdome 2 members. This can be resolved by re-adding the member to the GM.
