This section describes the issues that have been resolved in the ILOM 3.0.9 release. Specific change request (CR) identification number and workaround for the issues are provided, where available.
Issue: Prior to ILOM 3.0.6, some users experienced problems when recovering an inactive ILOM Remote Console session to a host and were required, as a workaround, to reboot the host server SP to recover the session. For further details about this problem and the workaround, see Unrecoverable ILOM Remote Console Sessions in the Known Issues section of Chapter 3.
Update: A fix that no longer requires the rebooting of the SP to recover an inactive Remote Console session is available for all Oracle server systems shipping with (or supporting) one of the following ILOM firmware releases:
If your server has ILOM 3.0.6 or later installed, the ILOM Remote Console could take up to five minutes to release and recover an inactive session. However, if the host server is powered off, the recovery time for the ILOM Remote Console session can take approximately 15 minutes. Note that the recovery time for the ILOM Remote Console session is dependent on the amount of video traffic that is present. The following table provides a guideline for how long the ILOM Remote Console might take to release and recover a session.
This section describes known issues and workarounds as of ILOM 3.0.9. Specific change request (CR) identification numbers and workarounds for these issues are provided, where available.
Unable to collect SP data with Snapshot Utility when web browser security setting is enabled |
CR 6913593, 6850456, and 6916007
Issue: On some platform servers, ILOM displays null DIMM FRU data fields after upgrading or downgrading the ILOM SP firmware (between 3.0.3 and 3.0.9) with the Delay BIOS Update option enabled.
Workaround: Perform the following steps:
1. Power off the host before downgrading or upgrading the firmware between ILOM 3.0.3 and 3.0.9.
2. Do not enable the firmware option to Delay BIOS Update when downgrading or updating the ILOM firmware.
Issue: Using an invalid help command such as help /SP system_contact=test results in unusable output displayed.
Workaround: Use the correct syntax for help /SP system_contact.
Issue: If the Internet Explorer (IE) web browser Security option for Save Encrypted Pages To Disk is enabled, the following error message appears when attempting to collect SP data using the Service Snapshot Utility:
Internet Explorer cannot download mdccvm02i - spanshot.cgi?dataset=ioh. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
Workaround: Prior to using the Service Snapshot Utility to collect SP data, disable the Internet Explorer web browser Security option for Save Encrypted Pages To Disk (Tools -->Internet Options-->Advanced tab).
