ATM Release Notes

ATM Version I.11.00.100
Known Problems and Workarounds
Chapter 214
• If you have installed the HP-UX Extension Pack 9905 and are running swinstall to
install a new version of ATM on top of a previous version of ATM, swinstall might seem
to be “hung,” with “Rebooting” in the Status field of the “Install Analysis” window.
Select the Logfile... button. You should see this error in the “Log File” window:
Internal error. " system_name ": You do not have the required
permissions to perform this SD operation. Please check to see that
you have the required permissions using the "swacl" command or see
your system administrator for assistance. This error occurred in
function "SMC_DisplayLogInfo", source file "smc_details.c", line
2110. Please give this information to your Hewlett-Packard support
contact..
You should exit the user interface immediately. Proceed at your own
risk!
Workaround: At this point, select the OK button to exit the “Log File” window. This takes
you back to the “Install Analysis” window, where the Status field should contain “Ready.”
From the “File” menu, select Exit to exit swinstall. The system will reboot, and when it
has finished rebooting, the ATM software installation is complete (and correct).
• While an ATM adapter is operational, if you disconnect the ATM cable from the switch
and reconnect it to another switch, the ELAN interfaces configured over the ATM adapter
might not start automatically.
Workaround: Run the atminit command to restart the adapter and all of its LANE
interfaces.
• When using a FORE switch, you might experience a delay (approximately two to three
minutes) in your ELAN interfaces coming up after you reboot the system.
Workaround: Ensure that you have either of these installed: (1) the FORE patch
asx-i960_6.0.1_1.48662E or (2) a release of FT later than FT 5.4.
• During system startup, an ELAN interface’s initialization might not complete before the
IP initialization stars. This can lead to errors if the IP configuration uses that ELAN
interface. An example of this is when static routes use the ELAN interface.
Workaround: To avoid this, a tunable delay parameter (ATM_ELAN_TIMEOUT) has been
added to the ATM subsystem file (/etc/rc.config.d/atmconf). This parameter specifies
how long the ATM startup script waits for the ELAN interface initializations to complete.
Note that the default value for the ATM_ELAN_TIMEOUT parameter is 0 (zero), which means
“no delay.”
• You might have to specify the LAN type during ELAN interface configuration, if you are
in either of these situations:
