This tip is not software specific.

Solution

This behavior was corrected in CMM firmware version v1.40.1P Build ID: 2PET10P and later.

Because the web interface is not available, it is necessary to flash the CMM using the Command Line Interface (CLI).

The file is available by selecting the appropriate Product Group, type of System, Product name, Product machine type, and Operating system on IBM Support's Fix Central web page, at the following URL:

Workaround

Use the CLI to interact with chassis components.
