If you do a restore while a serial console or a JavaRconsole session are open, you might see an error message in the event log. For example:
409 Restore Log major Fri Feb 26 19:42:40 2010 Config restore: Unable to restore property '/SP/serial/host/commitpending'.
This message is incorrect. You can ignore it.
Workaround
If a JavaRconsole session or a serial console is open, use the CLI to set console properties manually. Do not use a configuration restore.
