070418-005 booting, you may get a bash$ prompt instead
of the XSCF> prompt, and be unable to
perform most operations.
RTIF1- While XSCF is running, error message of
070418-009 "OOM kill" might be displayed to XSCF
console, and process may go down and/or
watchdog timeout may occur and XSCF may
reboot.
RTIF1- The showdomainstatus -a command shows
070418-010 domain status as Powered Off, but the
showboards -a command shows the domain
is testing.
RTIF1- Some commands that update configuration
070418-011 data take a relatively long time to execute.
RTIF1- The fault (memory.block.ue) is encountered

lists known XCP issues and possible workarounds.
Workaround
Power off domains before using the
flashupdate(8) command to upgrade XCP
firmware.
Log out of the bash$ prompt and wait for the
XSCF to finish booting.
Check that XSCF is started. If not started, use
the rebootxscf(8) command to restart XSCF,
or stop all the domains and then execute the
system power off/on (AC OFF/ON).
Use the showboards command to check the
status of domain power.
The showdomainstatus command takes a
longer time to show the correct status.
Do not cancel set* commands. They appear to
hang, but eventually complete in about 30
seconds.
An uncorrectable error exists in a DIMM and
the DIMM should be replaced.
Import again a firmware image. Reboot the
XSCF Unit, then use the flashupdate
command again to clear the internal error.
