Problem
The SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 10 driver for SAS HW RAID causes
unwanted error logs during installation.
Implication
The error logs are repeatedly displayed on screen if Alt+F4 is pressed during
installation. They can also display by typing the
dmesg
command after the
operating system is installed successfully. These are harmless errors you can
ignore.
Status
The driver version equal to or later than 00.00.03.09 removes these error logs
during installation.
Workaround
None.
47.
IERR or thermal trip event reported in System Event Log (SEL) after
system power on
Problem
An IERR or thermal trip event may be reported in the System Event Log (SEL)
after the system is powered on. The system status LED on the front panel also
displays as amber, but the system seems to run normally.
Implication
This is due to an internal communication error induced by the GTL2007 chip on
the server board. The GTL2007 chip has an interaction issue with the BMC,
and startup times with the processor at power on can cause false CPU IERRs.
You can ignore the false error.
Status
A hardware change to the GTL2107 chip will be implemented on future board
revisions to fix this issue. See Product Change Notification PCN107725-01 for
additional details.
Workaround
A processor retest can make the system status LED go back to a normal state.
