DL380 G5 with statemgr utility version 2.2

[Richard Zeigler]

Hello -

An attempt is being made to use WinPE 2005 and the 1.4 version of the SmartStart toolset. The toolset includes the statemgr utility. However, when used on a DL380 G5 the state is not persistent. As an example:

User: statemgr /w phase 5
Response: phase: 5
User: statemgr /r phase
Response: phase: 0

This exact utlity (and same WinPE environment) works fine on a DL380 G4. As an example:
User: statemgr /w phase 5
Response: phase: 5
User: statemgr /r phase
Response: phase: 5

Is there a known bug in this utility?
Is there another version that actually works?

Thanks -

Richard

There is an issue with statemgr and the G5 servers. This will be fixed in the 1.6 version of the Toolkit(statemgr version 2.3). To work around this issue, use uppercase variable names.

Example:

statemgr.exe /w PHASE 1
statemgr.exe /r PHASE
