* A 'racadm config' operation may fail, due to configuration property
definition changes across firmware versions. For example, if the set of
allowable values for a configuration property has been changed, and a snapshot
of the prior values (from 'racadm getconfig') is used in a 'racadm config'
operation on a newer version of firmware, the prior values may no longer
be accepted, and thus cause the racadm config operation to fail.(229764)
To resolve this issue, comment out the prior value in the captured file,
and restart the 'racadm config' operation.
The following lists the racadm property definitions that differ, depending
on the CMC firmware version:
group: cfgNetTuning, object: cfgNetTuningNicSpeed
- CMC Firmware 1.0 and 1.10:
Allowed values: 10, 100, 1000 (default 1000)
- CMC version 1.20 and later:
Allowed values: 10, 100 (default 100)
* While performing firmware updates on the servers located in the
chassis, make sure there is minimal to no activities on the server
(ex: avoid running discovery on the servers via management application
such as IT Assistant or running IPMI commands). (276448)
* It is always recommended that once you have your configuration setup
to then save the CMC configuration to a .cfg file using a specified
file name. This can be accomplished by using the remote racadm (CLI)
tool: racadm getconfig -f <filename>. If you ever have to restore the
settings you can reimport them back using the same tool and running
racadm config -f <filename> (279404)
* While performing firmware updates on chassis servers, make sure there
are minimal or no server activities ;
for example, avoid running server discovery using a management
application such as IT Assistant or running IPMI commands. (276448)
* It is recommended that once you have your configuration completed,
you save the CMC configuration to a .cfg file using a specified
file name. To save the file, enter the following command using the
remote RACADM (CLI) tool:
racadm getconfig -f <filename>.
If you ever need to restore the configuration settings, you can
re import them by entering the following command:
racadm config -f <filename> (279404)
* When performing firmware updates using the RACADM command line utility,
make sure that you confirm the updates. Once you initiate
the updates, you will not be able to cancel.(282471)
