Netfinity 5500 - OS watchdog timer reboots the system
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
If you enable the OS watchdog timer and connect to the Advanced Remote Management processor via the serial port, then open the Advanced Remote Management processor utility in the Netfinity Manager and request operational parameters, the system will hang. This will cause the OS watchdog timer to reboot the system.
Fix:
Set the watchdog timer delay time to greater than 2 minutes via the Netfinity Manager. This problem does not occur if the timer is greater than 2 minutes. See also Netfinity 5500 - OS watchdog timer doesn't reboot the system after two successive OS hangs.
Netfinity is providing a patch to force the timer to always be greater than 2 minutes.
