I can't actually demonstrate that on the other systems, but I think it
must be the case; I assume ELOM has the same lan bugs on any system that
runs it. At least one of the 4150 and 4450 -- I can't recall what I
looked up -- is upgradable to ILOM, in which case the workaround will
change.

Yes. That was just `it's not fixed as of that version'.

Yes, it's annoying. SSH to the SP says it on login, and `version' has
further details:
-> version
SP firmware 2.0.2.5
SP firmware build number: 32265
SP firmware date: Fri Apr 25 20:35:59 PDT 2008
SP filesystem version: 0.1.14
Of course, you can't just do `ssh <host> version', sigh. The web
interface has the same info.
On the other hand, ELOM says `Version 3.15' in the login banner and the
IPMI info, but this from the CLI:
/SP -> version
SM CLP Version v1.0.0
SM ME Addressing Version v1.0.0
/SP -> show -d properties AgentInfo FWVersion
/SP/AgentInfo
Properties:
FWVersion = 3.15
Don't get me started on the inconsistency, and the fact that our x2200s
can't be upgraded to ILOM!
