SPrestore Command Is Partially Successful and Reports an Error in the Log
Issue:
If the serial console is in use, properties related to the serial console cannot be restored and you will
receive messages similar to the following:
Config restore: Unable to restore property '/SP/serial/host/commitpending'
Config restore: Unable to restore property '/SP/serial/external'
Because such properties could not be restored, this is a partial failure and, therefore, results in the
above message about the partial failure. This is not a defect.
Affected Software:
■ Release 1.0 and later
Workaround:
Log out of the serial console and try to run the restore command again.
BIOS Does Not Get Updated When You Use IPMIflash to Upgrade the Oracle ILOM Service
15624057
Processor Image
Issue:
BIOS might not get updated when you use IPMIflash to upgrade the Oracle ILOM service processor
(SP) image with the Delay BIOS option enabled. When you power the server off and on quickly, the
BIOS image should be updated, but it is not.
Affected Operating System and Software:
■ Oracle Linux 5.4, and later
■ Release 1.0 and later
Workarounds:
Use one of the following workarounds:
■ If you power off the server using the Power button, wait at least 10 seconds before powering the
server back on.
or
■ Instead of powering the server off and on using the Power button, run a power-cycle command.
This will guarantee that BIOS is updated.
