Novell Platespin Recon 3.7.2 bug causes abnormal PEAK CPU

Today i got help from the Novell support for a Platespin Recon installation, it was a installation that was upgraded from 3.7.1 and after that when i created consolidation scenarios the PEAK CPU got values that was not normal, for some of the servers it was 4x or more of maximum cpu speed, which of course is impossible.

after a quick response from the support-team i got a patch  bug-680478_Patch as you can read below it fixes some issues that you can encounter

//

The following issues are addressed by this patch

1. Bug 681173  – High CPU value for Processor peak values
2. Bug 680865  – Recon: inconsistant CPU utilization reporting
3. Bug 680478  – Recon 3.7.2 Servers don’t consolidate in virtualization scenario
4. Bug 676315  – Recon 3.7.1 – Values in Scenario for CPU and network are not realistic

//

so if you encounter very strange values in your reports or in your scenarios, open a case with the novell support and they should give you the patch instantly

The focus for this blog is virtualization and the issues and other best practices that i encounter or read about and want you all out there to get info about.

for those who want to read the old blog the address is vniklas.djungeln.se

HP Bladesystem Virtual Connect FW update 3.17

Ett par veckor sen har detta dykt upp men det kan ändå poängteras och sägas en gång till att det kommit en uppdatering till Virtual Connect och specifikt för FlexFabric och Flex-10 VC-moduler som man har i sitt bladchassi.

Uppdateringen som går att läsa mer om här avhjälper en del besvärande buggar och det referas även till två pdf dokument där man kan se vilka fw och rompacks man bör ha på sina blad/oa och även de drivrutiner som bör appliceras för att få så störningsfri drift som möjligt.

Trevligt FW-helg
