### Unable to Retrieve Host Power State After Upgrading ILOM Firmware From 2.0 to 3.0

CR 6858008

Issue: When the SP firmware is updated from ILOM 2.0 to 3.0, the ILOM web interface might not be able to retrieve the remote host power state after the upgrade completes. If this occurs, a blank page appears on the Remote Power Control tab.

Workaround: Perform one of the following actions:

- Clear your browser cache and refresh your browser after completing the upgrade.

or

- In the header area of the ILOM web page, click the Refresh button (on the ILOM web interface page) to correct the browser caching issue.

### Access Page Error Appears After Configuring Unknown Sensor LED Status When Monitoring System From IPMItool

CR 6848980

Issue: Unknown sensor LED statuses are shown in the ILOM web interface when using IPMItool to monitor Oracle servers. This issue is likely to occur when concurrently running the SP and the IPMI KCS interface from the operating system (OS). As a result of this configuration, the IPMI messages are overloaded to the SP.

Workaround: To enable the ILOM web interface sufficient time to read the IPMI sensors, you should limit the rate of KCS message responses to the host OS by inserting the command `sleep` `1` between commands in your host IPMItool script.

### Console Error Appears After Performing Backup and Restore

CR 6847309

Issue: The following console error message might appear after backing up and restoring the ILOM configuration.

`bind (udp): Address already in use`

Workaround: None. This is a benign error message.

### Windows Server 2008 R2 Generates System Event Log Warning Messages When Power Is Being Limited by ILOM Power Management

CR 6881284

Issue: When power is being limited by the ILOM Power Management feature, the Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system will generate warning messages in the System Event Log informing the user that the processor(s) are being restricted. Example Event:

`The Speed of Processor xx in group x is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for xxxx seconds since last report.`

Workaround. None needed. These are expected events and are not indicative of a problem.
