Things You Should Know the First Time You Power On Your Machine
4 Code changes have been implemented to correct a problem where crash
dumps written to disks connected via a CIPCA adapter would fail to
complete. Prior to V6.0 firmware, on clusters with heavy I/O loads a
crash dump to a CIPCA connected disk may fail with the following
messages being reported: MSCP: Attempting to reestablish connection
MCSP: Continuing device * no longer valid
5 Update firmware (CCMAB) for the Memory Channel adapter is no
longer supplied nor supported with firmware releases. The LFU utility
cannot properly update new revisions of the hardware.
3.6 SRM Console Firmware Bugs and Restrictions
The following are known bugs and restrictions with AlphaServer 4100
SRM console firmware version V6.0.
1 Configuring an HSD30 at a higher DSSI node ID than that of the
KFPSA will result in the SRM console not seeing devices when a
console SHOW DEVICE command is issued.
2 If running OpenVMS or DIGITAL UNIX, the MEMORY_TEST
environment variable must be set to FULL (default). PARTIAL and
NONE are not yet supported.
3 SRM console V4.8-6 or above supports mixing of the B3002-AB (5/300
2-MB CPU) and B3004-BA CPUs within a system. If you mix modules,
you must configure the system such that a B3002-AB is the primary
CPU. NOTE: Systems running OpenVMS (V6.2-1H3 or V7.1) require a
patch image (ALPCPU1601_071) to support the B3002 and B3004 in
mixed configurations.
4 VGAs configured as console display devices must be in PCI0.
5 The system must be reset prior to running LFU from console. Booting
the LFU off CD-ROM does not require a system reset.
6 Updating to SRM console V5.4 requires running the update procedure
twice if not using the BOOT command update method for updates or if
updating from any version of console prior to V5.3.
7 Downgrading from SRM console to a version prior to V5.3 requires the
update procedure be run twice.
