Time zone CLI setting issue resolved | Invalid Time Zone Settings in ILOM CLI
Snapshot properties are not persistent after resetting the SP | Snapshot Properties Are Not Persistent After a Reset

### Invalid Time Zone Settings in ILOM CLI

CR 6871128

Issue: Incomplete time zone names were accepted by ILOM for the CLI target: `SP/clock/timezone`. An incomplete time zone name could cause the system to use the time zone for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Update: This issue is fixed in the ILOM 3.0.8 release. The ILOM CLI only accepts and validates complete time zone names.

### Snapshot Properties Are Not Persistent After a Reset

Issue: If you use the CLI to change the Snapshot property values and then reset the SP, the Snapshot property values revert to their default property values.

Update: The Snapshot feature in ILOM is working as designed. The Snapshot properties are not persistent after resetting the SP.

The 64-bit JRE is not supported for Storage Redirection | Storage Redirection Not Supported With 64-bit JRE
Long delay populating storage monitoring devices after performing upgrade | 5-Minute Delay to View Storage Monitoring Information
ILOM version not shown when upgrading ILOM using Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant and an inband management interface | ILOM Version Not Shown When Using HIA to Upgrade ILOM From an Inband Management Interface

### Storage Redirection Not Supported With 64-bit JRE

CR 6800702 and CR 6805732

Issue: An attempt to start Storage Redirection might fail when using a 64-bit Java runtime environment (JRE). Since the 64-bit JRE is the default on a 64-bit system, you will need to have the 32-bit JRE installed as well. When using a 64-bit JRE to start Storage Redirection, the following error message appears:

`"Unsupported platform"`

Workaround: Install a 32-bit JRE on the 64-bit system. JREs can be downloaded from this site: `http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp`

### 5-Minute Delay to View Storage Monitoring Information

CR 6870530

Issue: You might experience up to a 5-minute delay before storage monitoring information is present or up to date in the ILOM CLI or the web interface. This delay typically occurs after:

- Upgrading to ILOM 3.0.6 (or later) and installing the required System Management Pack.

or

- Querying the system after updates were made to the RAID or disk information.

Note - The Storage Monitoring feature is not available on all Oracle servers. To determine whether your server is enabled to support this feature, refer to the ILOM Supplement guide or Administration guide for your server.

Note - If the Storage Monitoring feature is available on your server, a System Management Pack is required to be installed prior to using the Storage Monitoring feature. For more information about the System Management pack required for your server, refer to the ILOM Supplement guide or Administration guide for your server.

Workaround: There is no workaround. This 5-minute delay only occurs after installation of the required System Management Pack or after RAID or disk updates have been made to the system.

### ILOM Version Not Shown When Using HIA to Upgrade ILOM From an Inband Management Interface

CR 6867109

Issue: When upgrading ILOM from the Oracle Hardware Installation Assistant (HIA) using the inband interface, HIA might not (on some Oracle servers) display the running version of ILOM.

Workaround`:`Use the ILOM web interface to determine the running version of ILOM.
