SP does not warn user that another session of SPMAINT is running (Issue 98345)
If you log in to SPOCC and try to install an SP software update while an SPMAINT session is
running and also installing an SP software update, you receive no warning, the SPOCC update
fails, and SPMAINT displays an error such as the following:
SPcommctlr[915]: segfault at 22a0 ip 00be61d1 sp bfb79900 error 6 in
libST_lm.so[be3000+6000]
You must not try to install two SP software updates simultaneously.
Error when Hyper-V is installed with non-administrator user (Issue 95804)
If you try to install Hyper-V as a non-administrator user, you receive an error message, and the
installation fails.
Workaround: To work around this issue, run the build.exe file as an administrator by right-clicking
the file name and then clicking Run as administrator.
Error when you use ESX VSP to update HP 3PAR OS software: “Can not find spPkgList
on CDROM” (Issue 92718)
If you try to update the OS software by using SPMAINT and a CD or DVD with a virtual Service
Processor (VSP) that is running on an ESX server, you may receive the following error message:
Can not find spPkgList on CDROM
This issue may occur when the /mnt/cdrom on an ESX virtual machine is not mounted properly or
is not automatically updated when you put in a new CD or DVD.
Workaround: To work around this issue, manually unmount and then remount the /mnt/cdrom.
Admithw not started after verifying that firmware patch installed successfully (Issue
98952)
After you install a firmware patch, the “admit hardware” (admithw) command may not run
automatically as expected. Post update tasks are not run automatically when upgrading from
3.1.2.x version to 3.1.2.x version, downgrading from 3.1.3.x to 3.1.2.x version and installing
the patches on 3.1.2.x.
Workaround: To work around this issue, run admithw or starttask admithw -ni manually
after installing a firmware patch. Daisy-chained DC3 cages must be updated manually.
