Tracking number 189934 Configured local time not applied on lead chassis and member chassis after disabling NTP Description When you clear the external NTP and change the local time, internal NTP is slow in identifying the correct time source. As a result, the time is reverted. Workaround Set the required time on the Application Settings > Network > Time Configuration page.
All member chassis passive module is getting rebooted when performing "racadm racreset" in lead chassis Description Standby management system modules on the Member chassis are rebooted after “racadm racreset” operation is performed on Lead chassis. Workaround ● If the system is already in failed state, a user can change the timezone to something other than GMT from Lead MSM GUI/Standalone which propagates the new timezone to all the Members in the group.
Tracking number 202510 PSU type displays AC for removed PSU or empty PSU slot in DC chassis in SNMP and RESTful API interfaces Description Empty PSU slot in DC chassis displays AC in two SNMP and RESTful API interfaces.
