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.
• Problem: Two SFM processes are running when SFM is upgraded . This limitation is not
applicable to the following:
◦ Systems that have SFM C.07.00.04.06 (March 2010) or later OE release fresh installed.
◦ Systems that have upgraded to SFM C.07.00.07.01 (May 2010) or later.
Description: When SFM is upgraded from any version prior to C.07.00.04.06 (March 2010)
release to C.07.01.06.01 (September 2010) version, some systems that have previous events
in the database, the cimprovagt process for SFMProviderModule may consume excessive
amount of memory or produce a core dump. The process list may display two cimprovagt
process for SFMProviderModule. One of this process is orphan and will not monitor
hardware(s).
Workaround: Follow the steps given below before upgrading SFM to C.07.01.06.01 version.
◦ Disable SFMProviderModule using the following command:
# cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
• Problem: IPMI FRU calls fail when a blade with MMP is inserted into a different slot.
Description: On HP Integrity BL860c i2, BL870c i2 & BL890c i2 Server Blades system, when
blades are moved across different slots in an enclosure, the inventory shown by enumerating
HP_Blade or the blade property page on HP SMH does not reflect the correct set of blades
on the system.
Workaround: This problem has the following two workarounds:
1. Use the Onboard Administrator to determine the total number of blades on the system.
2. Disable SFMProviderModule using the cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
command. Run mv /var/opt/sfm/data/sdrcache /tmp/sdrcache command to move
the sdrcache file and enable SFMProviderModule cimprovider -em
SFMProviderModule
• Problem: CIM_AlertIndication.NetworkAddresses does not contain all assigned IP addresses.
Description: Indication delivered by SFM does not display all the IP addresses in
NetworkAddresses property of CIM_AlertIndication class when a new IP address is configured
or an old IP address is changed at runtime.
Workaround: To reflect newly configured IP Addresses in SFM Indication, disable and enable
SFMProviderModule using the following commands
cimprovider -dm SFMProviderModule
cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
• Problem: The firmware version of Management Processor firmware (MFW), given by
MPProvider and FirmwareRevisionProvider on HP Integrity rx2800 i2 server may be incorrect.
Description: The revision number (third field in':' separated version string) may be incorrect.
Workaround: Run the sysrev command from MP to get the correct MFW version
• Problem: The WBEM events do not get delivered to evweb.
Description: In exceptional scenario due to extreme stress condition, the database component
can get into a deadlock. In such cases, no events can be stored to database and hence evweb
will not be able to show any WBEM indication.
Workaround: Manually kill SFMProviderModule process and restart SFMProviderModule using
the following command:
cimprovider -em SFMProviderModule
