Issue 6 NetWare 6.5 SP5 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Features Do Not Function as Expected on HP ProLiant DL385 G2 Servers Description The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) power management features do not function as expected on HP ProLiant DL385 G2 servers running NetWare 6.5 SP5, as shown in the following examples: • All available processors may not be recognized and subsequently not utilized. • The NetWare console commands DOWN and SHUTDOWN do not shut the server down as expected. Instead, they exit the console to the DOS prompt (C:\NWSERVER directory). • Pressing the server power button may abruptly power the server off when NetWare is running. This occurs because the APCIDRV.PSM driver is not being installed correctly during the NetWare 6.5 SP5 installation. When this occurs, the following error message appears: ACPIDRV.PSM-FATAL: Error initializing the ACPI subsystem. Any HP ProLiant DL385 G2 server running Netware 6.5 SP5, which includes ACPIDRV.PSM Version 1.05g (October 3, 2005). ACPIDRV.PSM and the associated modules from SP5 are listed below: Table 6a.

NetWare 6.5 SP5 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Features Do Not Function
as Expected on HP ProLiant DL385 G2 Servers
Description
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) power management
features do not function as expected on HP ProLiant DL385 G2 servers running
NetWare 6.5 SP5, as shown in the following examples:
•
All available processors may not be recognized and subsequently not
utilized.
•
The NetWare console commands DOWN and SHUTDOWN do not shut
the server down as expected. Instead, they exit the console to the DOS
prompt (C:\NWSERVER directory).
•
Pressing the server power button may abruptly power the server off when
NetWare is running.
This occurs because the APCIDRV.PSM driver is not being installed correctly
during the NetWare 6.5 SP5 installation. When this occurs, the following error
message appears:
ACPIDRV.PSM-FATAL: Error initializing the ACPI subsystem.
Any HP ProLiant DL385 G2 server running Netware 6.5 SP5, which includes
ACPIDRV.PSM Version 1.05g (October 3, 2005). ACPIDRV.PSM and the
associated modules from SP5 are listed below:
