Workaround

 

 

 

RTIF1- All domains must be powered off before 070418-004 upgrading the XCP firmware.

RTIF1- If you log in to the XSCF while it is still 070418-005 booting, you may get a bash$ prompt instead

of the XSCF> prompt, and be unable to perform most operations.

RTIF1- While XSCF is running, error message of 070418-009 "OOM kill" might be displayed to XSCF

console, and process may go down and/or watchdog timeout may occur and XSCF may reboot.

RTIF1- The showdomainstatus -acommand shows 070418-010 domain status as Powered Off, but the

showboards -acommand shows the domain is testing.

RTIF1- Some commands that update configuration 070418-011 data take a relatively long time to execute.

RTIF1- The fault (memory.block.ue) is encountered 070418-012 and reported periodically.

RTIF1- When using the XSCF Web to import a

070418-020 firmware image, if the image is corrupted, the flashupdate command might later report an internal error.

Power off domains before using the flashupdate(8) command to upgrade XCP firmware.

Log out of the bash$ prompt and wait for the XSCF to finish booting.

Check that XSCF is started. If not started, use the rebootxscf(8) command to restart XSCF, or stop all the domains and then execute the system power off/on (AC OFF/ON).

Use the showboards command to check the status of domain power.

The showdomainstatus command takes a longer time to show the correct status.

Do not cancel set* commands. They appear to hang, but eventually complete in about 30 seconds.

An uncorrectable error exists in a DIMM and the DIMM should be replaced.

Import again a firmware image. Reboot the XSCF Unit, then use the flashupdate command again to clear the internal error.
