A description of this resolution:

A patch is available to correct the error. See below for a description how to load the patch to the Advant Station.
1. Download the patch to the local disk in your PC. Place the patch under C:\temp
2. Transfer the patch, using ftp, to the Advant Station 500 Operator Station.
C:\> ftp <name-of-AS 500OS>
User (...(none)):root
Password:vm-guld
ftp> binary
ftp> put \temp\dcGetUPSstatus /tmp/dcGetUPSstatus
ftp > quit
3. If the Advant Station where the patch shall be installed isn’t connected to the same TCP/IP network, you have to transfer the patch to a DAT tape. Create a tape in the Advant Station used in step 2 above with the command
• Open a terminal window (press System Config – Station… - Terminal Window keys.
• $ tar cv /tmp/dcGetUPSstatus <CR>
• Load the patch in the Advant Station where the patch shall be installed with the command
• Open a terminal window (press System Config – Station… - Terminal Window keys.)
• $ tar xv <CR>
4. Set the environment variable OPERATOR_STATION_HALT to YES to avoid corrupt file system when the UPS power is lost, i.e halt the Operator Station when UPS power is lost.
• Execute following commands in the terminal window:
•$ su –
• Password:vm-guld (if it hasn’t been changed)
• # chmod 644 /products/components/OS/etc/dcStartup.env <CR>
• # vuepad /products/components/OS/etc/dcStartup.env <CR>
• A text editor will start
• Change following row:
export OPERATOR_STATION_HALT=NO
to
export OPERATOR_STATION_HALT=YES
• Save the file (choose Save in the File menu).
5. Do a function restart (press System Config - Station... - Function Restart keys).
6. Select Backup Restore mode, when the Workstation mode window appears on the screen.
7. Select the hpterm window located in the upper right corner of the screen.
8. Give the following commands in the hpterm window:
su-
Password vm-guld (if it hasn’t been changed)
# cd /products/components/UPS/bin
# cp dcGetUPSstatus dcGetUPSstatus.old
# mv /tmp/dcGetUPSstatus. (Note the dot)
# chmod 555 dcGetUPSstatus
# chown bin:bin dcGetUPSstatus
8. Select the Exit item in the File menu to exit the Station Backup function. The system will then continue with the start up.
How to see what version of the file dcGetUPSstatus you have in the system
With the patch above you change the file dcGetUPSstatus in the Advant Station to a newer corrected version. It is necessary that the new version has the same name, dcGetUPSstatus, as the one it replaces. Below is a way to verify that you have the correct version of the file in your system.
1. Open a terminal window (press System Config – Station… - Terminal Window keys.)
2. Execute following commands in the terminal window:
• $ cd /products/components/UPS/bin <CR>
• $ strings dcGetUPSstatus | grep Revision <CR>
• The correct version (revision) of the dcGetUPSstatus shall be
$Revision: 1.10$, or later.
