Issue 2

Accessing the B:\ drive during installation will hang the server

 

 

 

 

Description

Attempting to access the B:\ drive during the GUI portion of the server installation will

 

 

cause the server to hang. This problem only occurs during server installation.

 

 

 

 

Workaround

The only available workaround is to restart the server installation.

 

 

 

 

Solution

This issue may be fixed in a future Novell Support Pack Overlay CD, but it will always be

 

 

present in the base media.

 

 

Issue 3

Intermittent keyboard hangs and abends on ProLiant ML310 ATA and ProLiant ML330 G2 ATA servers

 

 

 

 

Description

Intermittent keyboard hangs and abends occur on ProLiant ML310 ATA and ProLiant

 

 

ML330 G2 ATA servers configured with MEGARIDE.HAM version 6.12 from the

 

 

NetWare 6.5 base media and the ProLiant Management Agents (version 6.41 and

 

 

earlier).

 

 

 

 

Workaround

Comment out CPQSNMP.NCF from the Autoexec.ncf file, and reboot the server to

 

 

unload the agents.

 

 

 

 

Solution

Update MEGARIDE.HAM to version 2.11, the supported version in PSP 6.41. A "force"

 

 

of this component is required when downgrading from version 6.12 to 2.11. To

 

 

accomplish this task, follow either method below:

 

 

Method 1

 

 

1. Load CPQDPLOY. When CPQDPLOY loads, all components are selected.

 

 

2.

If you have already installed all of the HP components, use F4 to Unmark them.

 

 

3. Use F5 to Mark only the MEGARIDE component "MegaRIDE HAM DRIVER for

 

 

 

NetWare 6.0."

 

 

4. Press F2 to toggle the FORCE option to ON.

 

 

5. Use F10 to install the component.

 

 

Method 2

 

 

1.

If you are loading only the individual component interface, use load

 

 

 

cp003451.nlm.

 

 

2. Use F2 to toggle the FORCE option to ON.

 

 

3. Use F10 to install the component.

 

 

Also, verify that you are running PSP 6.41 (or later) agents by running CPQDPLOY or by

 

 

typing modules cpq*.* to view the installed version.

 

 

Issue 4

Removal of USB floppy drive may abend the server

 

 

 

 

Description

Removal of USB floppy drive from the server may cause an abend if the file system has

 

 

not completed all operations. This problem occurs when the USB floppy drive is removed

 

 

from the server shortly after all activity to the drive appears to have stopped.

 

 

 

 

Workaround

Wait at least 5 minutes after the last floppy drive activity before removing the USB floppy

 

 

drive from the server.

 

 

 

 

Solution

Novell is working on a solution for SP1.

 

 

Issue 5

Replacing a storage controller may cause the server to hang on startup

 

 

 

 

Description

The server may hang if the storage controller for the SYS volume is changed without first

 

 

updating STARTUP.NCF with the new controller parameters. This issue can also be seen

 

 

when a drive containing the SYS volume is moved to another server where the same

 

 

storage controller as the original server is present, but in a different PCI slot.

 

 

 

 

Workaround

Prior to downing the server to replace the controller, edit STARTUP.NCF and enter the

 

 

controller parameters that will be required for the new controller.

 

 

 

 

Solution

Novell is planning to fix this issue in SP1.
