Boot failures with FMA fault Event "SPX86-8003-UC - IIO VT-d Fatal Error" seen when 3rd party USB devices are installed.
|
This issue was specifically observed on systems using a 3rd party KVM switch.
With an affected USB device attached the system will fail to boot and FMA may fault the CPU with an SPX86-8003-UC event. For example:
fault = fault.io.intel.iio.vtd-fatal@/SYS/MB/P0
|
Workaround: If this issue is experienced remove the USB device and clear the fault to allow the system to boot.
Resolution: Update system to the latest ILOM firmware (SW 1.4.0 or later)
|
|
ILOM Java Remote Console no longer works after upgrade to Java 7 update 40 and above
|
After upgrading Java version 7 to upgrade 40 and above, the Java security settings changed and the ILOM console certificate on older systems is no longer acceptable to Java, so the console application will not open.
|
Workaround: Don't upgrade Java, or modify the security settings with exceptions, per MOS Doc ID 1614577.1
Resolution: Update system to the latest ILOM firmware (SW 1.3.0 or later)
|
|
Resetting ILOM may cause the host to hang. Possibly CPU faults may also occur at the same time during the boot after force resetting the host.
|
Host hung after ipmiflash completing reflashing ILOM, and ILOM shows following message repeatedly:
BTKCS Driver BT: "pod" Host timed out trying to write, ifc->host_busy @ 0x08
Host hang with blinking cursor on VGA output waiting for system to reboot
FMA may report: An internal fault on a processor has occurred
|
Workaround: Avoid unnecessary reboots of the ILOM SP.
Resolution: Update system to the latest ILOM firmware (SW 1.2.1 or later)
|
|
If Power Management for the the system is disabled the server will experience a performance loss.
|
If the customer disables the "Power Technology" option in the BIOS it will cause the system to run the processors at their minimum clock frequency causing system performance loss. |
Workaround: The Intel Power Technology option in the BIOS should be left enabled and all of the sub options should be left at their default settings.
Resolution: Update system to the latest ILOM firmware (SW 1.2.0 or later)
|
| Systems may become warm and encounter a temperature warning when several are racked together and left in standby mode. |
Temperature Warnings reported
SERVICE Alert LED on. SEL log output reports thermal alarms
FMA may show: SPX86-8003-A4, fault.chassis.temp.warn
|
Workaround: Either unplug the systems if they are not going to be powered on or power the systems on so that the power supply fans can provide cooling.
Resolution: Update system to the latest ILOM firmware (SW 1.1.1 or later)
