Known Problems and Workarounds

The known problems and corresponding workarounds for version M.11.23 of the ATM link

software on HP-UX 11i v2 are as follows:

• For those wishing to use OLAR, your system may need to update its ﬁrmware. For

additional details, please refer to the Readme Before Installing or Updating to HP-UX 11i

v2 document provided with your HP product.

• If you are using a Nortel Centillion ATM switch that has a software version earlier than

4.0, you will most likely experience interoperability problems (see Nortel support

reference number CR 80877).

Workaround: Upgrade your Nortel Centillion switch to software version 4.0 or later.

• Installation error when installing EMS on a system where the Japanese version of EMS is

already installed.

The error messages that are generated are as follows:

ERROR: The EMS (B5736BA) and EMS Japanese (B5736BJ)

products cannot be selected together. Exit swinstall,

and run it again - this time only marking and installing

one or the other.

ERROR: The "checkinstall" script for "EMS-Config" failed (exit code

"1"). The script location was

"/var/tmp/AAAa02046/catalog/EMS-Config/pfiles/checkinstall".

* This script had errors and the execution of this product

cannot proceed until the problem is fixed. Check the above

output from the script for further details.

Although these error messages occur, you do not have to do anything: ATM and EMS will

operate correctly.

• 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.
