Known problems and limitations

This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of

publication. If workarounds are available, they are included.

• A voltage degradation alert message is shown in the System Events Logs upon system

boot up

This is only an alert message for the 456972-B21 HBA. Functionality and performance on

the Mezzanine card are not adversely affected. No actions are needed. This message can

only be found through the SL command under the MP menu.

• EFI is only bootable from the first boot entry device

This applies to the first boot entry device that is connected to an AD221, AD222A, AD393A,

AD299A, or AD355A.

Corrective action: The workaround for this issue is to re-arrange the boot list that is connected

to the adapters:

1. Select Boot Options Maintenance Menu from the EFI Boot Manager's main menu.

2. Use the following three Boot Options Maintenance Menu items to edit the boot

options list, so that the fibre device connected to an AD221A, AD222A, AD393A,

AD299A, or AD355A is listed as the first entry in the boot options list:

— Add A Boot Option: presents you with a list of possible boot devices, and

allows you to select one to add to your boot options list.

— Delete Boot Option(s): allows you to interactively delete one or more entries

from your boot options list.

— Change Boot Order: allows you to re-order your boot options list.

3. When the boot options list for your system has been re-ordered as you wish, select Exit

to return to the EFI Boot Manager's main menu, which should now reflect your edits

to the boot options list.
