The Firmware level(s) affected is/are:

  • BPET14C
Solution

The target date for the release is scheduled for Third Quarter 2006.

It will be available from IBM's xSeries Support web site, at the following URL:

Workaround

Click "Yes" and the remote session will continue normally.

Additional Information

When an AMM (Advanced Management Module) is reset to factory defaults, an automatically generated self-signed certificate is installed using the System Name to complete the Hostname information. If the System Name does not match the name that is assigned by the DNS server, a "Hostname Mismatch" error will be generated. Clicking "Yes" will allow the remote session to continue normally. This will be addressed in a future release of the Advanced Management Module Firmware.
