Event Log Corrected hardware errors Issue Integrity Servers running Windows Server 2008 R2 might receive Windows Event Log messages describing Corrected Hardware Errors for memory and processor components. These messages from the Microsoft WHEA-LOGGER service can occur several times daily on large memory configurations running under high load. Servers All Integrity Workaround These event log messages do not indicate a problem. The underlying hardware is operating correctly. Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and EFI-based Setup Utility (EBSU) I/O card firmware values display as unknown Issue The EBSU Maintain Firmware feature displays some I/O card firmware values as unknown in the Local version column. This occurs when the card firmware does not return a data structure that EBSU recognizes because the card firmware is configured for 32-bit systems, it lacks an EFI driver, or has corrupted firmware. Servers All Integrity Workaround Flash the card firmware to correct the problem. If the card still has unknown values after flashing it and resetting the system, contact your local support specialist or visit http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers for help. Windows does not start on Reboot after restoring system image Issue Occasionally, if you use EBSU before restoring the system image to a Fibre Channel boot controller or if only restoring the system image to a Fibre Channel boot controller, the system does not boot to Windows and might do either of the following: • Stop at the EFI prompt • Restart WinPe, if the reinstall DVD is still inserted This occurs because the Windows boot entry is missing from the boot menu. Servers HP Integrity BL8x0 i2 server blades Workaround To create the missing entry, enter the following command at the EFI prompt: EFI_drive_letter:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi Where EFI_drive_letter: is the mapping of the drive corresponding to the EFI System Partition (for example: fs:). The boot process then continues normally. The bootmgfw command automatically creates the Windows boot entry.
