HP-UX SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management) (SFM) Release Notes (766969-001, March 2014) (Edition: 2)
CAUTION: Follow this workaround and proceed with the above mentioned steps, only if the
customers do not want old event data. When you upgrade, diagnostic database is moved
and cannot be viewed using diagnostic utilities (such as Evweb). It cannot be added back
into the original database, due to incompatibility of older PostgreSQL version with the new
version.
• Problem:
The Field Replaceable Units (FRU) that are erroneous and marked for deconfiguration, the
health status on HP SMH will not be in synchronization with the health state on the Onboard
Administrator (OA) homepage.
Description:
On HP Superdome 2, the FRU on which errors are found, and Superdome 2 Analysis Engine
has marked them for deconfiguration on the next reboot, the bad health status will not be
reflected on the HP SMH page. This is applicable to HP SMH property pages for processor,
memory and blade FRU's.
Workaround:
Please check the Health Repository on the OA for the latest information on the health of all
the FRU's or alternatively, the OA homepage.
