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.
