 Previous Revision:

2.04_04-18-2019

Firmware Dependencies:

None

Enhancements/New Features:

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

 
Enhancements 

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Enhancements/New Features:

Added support for HPE Persistent Memory featuring Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the

Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

 Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

 
Enhancements 

Added support for HPE Persistent Memory featuring Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Enhancements/New Features:

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Enhancements/New Features:

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only

Enhancements 

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Enhancements/New Features:

Added support for HPE Persistent Memory featuring Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

Enhancements/New Features:

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

Enhancements 

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

 
Enhancements 

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority
cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

None

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where the Server Backup and Restore functionality may not work properly if initiated through the HPE RESTful API returning a message "An
internal error occurred during RIS operation".

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with
the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to
support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required
to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only
impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.

Known Issues:

None

 
Enhancements 

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option called Intel Priority Based Frequency to support enabling Intel Speed Select - Base Frequency support
on select 2nd Generation Xeon Scalable Family Processors that are optimized for NFV workloads. This option, which is disabled by default, is located in the
Processor Options menu and visible only when NFV optimized SKUs are installed (denoted by the N in the SKU model). On supported Operating Systems, Intel
Speed Select - Based Frequency functionality allows high priority cores to operate at a higher frequency than the nominal base frequency while lower priority

 cores will run at a slower frequency.

Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Direct Cache (IODC) menu to the Power and Performance Menu. This option allows for tuning the policy
for which I/O transactions interact with the processor cache. The caching policy may have a slight impact on cross socket latency. Workloads where this option
would need to be modified from its default value for optimum performance are extremely rare.

Added support for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory (ADDDC) to operate when a single memory rank is only available on a given memory channel. Previous
versions of the System ROM required two or more memory ranks to be available on each memory channel. After updating to this version of the System ROM the
server will automatically configure the system for HPE Fast Fault Tolerant Memory Mode if the memory configuration supports this option.

Updated the UEFI OpenSSL support to version 1.0.2r to address security vulnerability CVE-2019-1559.

Fixes 

The following issues have been fixed in version 4.5:

When the number of channels configured was less than the number of CPUs available, part of the CPUs would not be used by Tx queues.
Establishing TCP connection took too long due to failure of SA PathRecord query callback handler.
Lack of high order allocations caused driver load failure. All high order allocations are now changed to order-0 allocations.
When performing configuration changes, mlx5e counters values were reset.
Attempting to establish a RoCE connection on the default GID or on IPv6 link-local address failed when two or more netdevices that belong to HCA ports
were slaves under a bonding master. This also resulted in the following error message in the kernel log: “__ib_- cache_gid_add: unable to add gid
fe80:0000:0000:0000:f652:14ff:fe46:7391 error=-28”.

Enhancements 

Changes and new features in HPE Mellanox RoCE driver version 4.5:

For ConnectX-5 based adapters:

Increased the amount of maximum virtual functions (VF) that can be allocated to a physical function (PF) to 127 VFs.

For ConnectX-4/ConnectX-4 Lx/ConnectX-5 based adapters:

UDP source port for RoCE v2 packets is now calculated by the driver rather than the firmware, achieving better distribution and less congestion.
This mechanism works for RDMACM QPs only, and ensures that RDMA connection messages and data messages have the same UDP source port
value.

For "mlx5 Driver":

Added the ability to manually disable Local Loopback regardless of the number of open user-space transport domains.

Added support for the following features:
VXLAN hardware offload. VXLAN hardware offload enables the traditional offloads to be performed on the encapsulated traffic. With ConnectX®-3
Pro, data center operators can decouple the overlay network layer from the physical NIC performance, thus achieving native performance in the
new network architecture.
Packet Capture Utility: This utility duplicates all traffic, including RDMA, in its raw Ethernet form (before stripping) to a dedicated "sniffing" QP, and
then passes it to an ESX drop capture point.
Large Send Offload (TCP Segmentation Offload)
Wake-On-LAN (only on supported hardware)
Receive Side Scaling (RSS) Queues
Multiple Tx/Rx rings
NetQueue support

Important Note! 

Known Issues:

On rare occasions, a Purple Screen of Death (PSOD) may occur when changing MTU during traffic.
The maximum value of RSS must be lower than the number of CPU cores.
The hardware can offload only up to 256B of headers.
The "esxcli network sriovnic vf stats" command is not supported. When running this command on a vmknic, a failure message is displayed.
Traffic cannot be sent between PV and SR-IOV Virtual Functions connected to different ports on the same HCA.
Setting the "Allow Guest MTU Change" option in vSphere Client is currently not functional. Although guest MTU changes in SR-IOV are allowed, they do
not affect the port's MTU and the guest's MTU remains the same as the PF MTU.
Although ‘drss’ and ‘rss’ parameters are disabled by default, the displayed default values of drss/drss is "4" when querying the nmlx5_core module
parameter.
VST mode ConnectX-5 SR-IOV is currently not functional.
While running "stress ipv6 all2all traffic", the MTU is changed several times and PSOD is excepted.
When a guest is assigned an IB PCI passthru device or an IB VF, VMware Tools networking information for the guest may be incorrect. This affects how
the guest networking information, such as interfaces and their IPs are displayed in vCenter.
Operations on vmnics which are in passthrough mode are not supported.
The 'esxcli mellanox uplink link info -u <vmnic_name>' command reports the 'Auto negotiation' capability always as 'true'.
SMP MADs (ibnetdiscover, sminfo, iblinkinfo, smpdump, ibqueryerr, ibdiagnet and smpquery) are not supported on the VFs.
Multicast and IPv6 traffic might be unstable over SR-IOV.
Reboot is required after any SR-IOV configuration change.
Firmware VF configuration must be N+1 (while N is the required VF number). For example: If your configuration requires 10 VFs, the firmware must be
set to support 16 VFs (ESXi Limitation).
Wake-on-LAN does not notify when invalid parameters are provided.
Nested ESXi might not function properly.
Device RSS fails to hash traffic to sufficient RX rings with Broadcast traffic.
In stress condition ‘Watchdog’ may appear, leading to uplink going up and down.
Call trace might occur after running VGT with heavy traffic.
VMs can get Call Trace upon MTU change during heavy traffic.
Reloading the driver when the SR-IOV VFs are ON, will result in Purple Screen of Death (PSOD).
VGT traffic over VXLAN interfaces is currently not supported.
The adapter card might get stuck in Down state after setting the ring size to 8192.
VMs with SR-IOV cannot be powered on when running low on available vectors.
Occasionally, untagged traffic can pass between VMs with SR-IOV enabled when portgroup is configured for VLAN trunk range.

 
Fixes 

The following issues have been fixed in driver version 4.15.13.2 included in this Smart Component:

Disabled multicast loopback to avoid a scenario that prevented MAC learning in some configurations.
Encapsulated traffic (VXLAN/Geneve) directed to NetQ RSS queue was not distributed through all queues’ channels, thus did not utilize the RSS feature.

Enhancements 

Updated to driver version 12.0.318.0

Added the following support :

Added duration support for the Link Cable Beacon command. This avoids situations in which the blinking of an Host Bus Adapter(HBA) Light Emitting
Diode(LED) might be initiated, but no command is sent to stop the blinking.

Removed the raw driver file folder.  The raw driver files can be obtained by extracting the Smart Component and then extracting the Emulex installer.  Use this
command:

    elxdrvr-fc-version.exe /q2 extract=2

The extracted files are located:

    C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\Emulex\Drivers\FC-version

Each kit folder has subsequent architecture folders with subsequent OS folders.  For example,

Important Note! 

Important Notes

Firmware Upgrade
Starting OA 4.50 release, a standardized code signing and validation mechanism has been introduced to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
For customers using Firmware ROM image to upgrade OA:
For OAs with firmware version less than 3.50, first update to OA 3.50 and then continue updating to OA 4.50 or above.
For customers using Smart Components to upgrade OA:
OA firmware update mechanisms which rely on HPE Smart Components (example: EFM), will not be affected by this change. The Smart
Component will automatically perform the intermediate upgrade to OA 3.50 before performing the OA 4.50 or above upgrade. 
EFM  
The OA only supports SPP ISO images that are less than 4 GB in size, whether hosted directly via the Enclosure DVD feature or an attached USB
key, or mounted remotely via a specified URL. If an ISO image exceeds 4 GB,  the CLI SHOW FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT command displays ISO
URL Status as “Invalid URL.”
If an SPP ISO image exceeds 4 GB, it is necessary to create a custom ISO image that excludes components unnecessary to the OA EFM blade
firmware update process.  At a minimum, the custom ISO must contain the firmware components for HPE ProLiant BL servers. (When using HPE
SUM to create the custom ISO image, select Firmware as the Component Type, and select HPE ProLiant BL Series as the Server Type.)  For
information about creating a custom ISO image compatible for OA EFM functionality, see the HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
More HPE SUM information can be found via HPE Smart Update Manager online help or at https://www.hpe.com/servers/hpsum/documentation.
FIPS
Onboard Administrator 4.71 is FIPS certified as referenced in the 140-2 In Process list located at
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf. 
IPv6
When the Enable DHCPv6 or Enable SLAAC enclosure IPv6 settings are disabled on the Onboard Administrator, the respective DHCPv6 or SLAAC
addresses of the iLOs in the enclosure are retained until these addresses expire automatically based on their respective configurations.  A manual
reset of the iLO releases these addresses immediately

 
Prerequisites 

The Onboard Administrator Smart Component contains 64-bit executable binaries.  As a result, the client operating system upon which the OA Smart Component
is installed and executed must either have native support for 64-bit executables or must have the 64-bit compatibility libraries installed.

 
Fixes

OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a “regression” in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers
should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8. On a Windows 8 system with Internet
Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window
using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was
determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue,
either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer’s settings. This issue occurs
only on Internet Explorer browsers.

FIPS

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed
when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-
compliant certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network
Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the
FIPS-Degraded operational status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET
FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.

IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual
media mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on
terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP
ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

CAC

In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may
be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has
been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a
serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or
when CAC has been configured without certificate access.

Configurable SSH Port Number                                               

If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware
feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is to
reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to default
port 22 in the Active OA.

 
Enhancements 

Onboard Administrator 4.90 provides support for the following enhancements:

Hardware additions

None

Features: additions and changes

General

On SNMP user add/delete, Onboard Administrator has been enhanced to resync with the new configuration instead of restarting SNMP service.

Online HPE BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator Firmware Component for Windows
Version: 4.90 (Recommended)
Filename: cp036665.exe
 
Important Note! 

Important Notes

Firmware Upgrade
Starting OA 4.50 release, a standardized code signing and validation mechanism has been introduced to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
For customers using Firmware ROM image to upgrade OA:
For OAs with firmware version less than 3.50, first update to OA 3.50 and then continue updating to OA 4.50 or above.
For customers using Smart Components to upgrade OA:
OA firmware update mechanisms which rely on HPE Smart Components (example: EFM), will not be affected by this change. The Smart
Component will automatically perform the intermediate upgrade to OA 3.50 before performing the OA 4.50 or above upgrade. 
EFM  
The OA only supports SPP ISO images that are less than 4 GB in size, whether hosted directly via the Enclosure DVD feature or an attached USB
key, or mounted remotely via a specified URL. If an ISO image exceeds 4 GB,  the CLI SHOW FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT command displays ISO
URL Status as “Invalid URL.”
If an SPP ISO image exceeds 4 GB, it is necessary to create a custom ISO image that excludes components unnecessary to the OA EFM blade
firmware update process.  At a minimum, the custom ISO must contain the firmware components for HPE ProLiant BL servers. (When using HPE
SUM to create the custom ISO image, select Firmware as the Component Type, and select HPE ProLiant BL Series as the Server Type.)  For
information about creating a custom ISO image compatible for OA EFM functionality, see the HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide.
More HPE SUM information can be found via HPE Smart Update Manager online help or at https://www.hpe.com/servers/hpsum/documentation.
FIPS
Onboard Administrator 4.71 is FIPS certified as referenced in the 140-2 In Process list located at
http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf.
IPv6
When the Enable DHCPv6 or Enable SLAAC enclosure IPv6 settings are disabled on the Onboard Administrator, the respective DHCPv6 or SLAAC
addresses of the iLOs in the enclosure are retained until these addresses expire automatically based on their respective configurations.  A manual
reset of the iLO releases these addresses immediately.

 
Prerequisites 

The Onboard Administrator Smart Component contains 32-bit executable binaries.  As a result, the client operating system upon which the OA Smart Component
is installed and executed must either have native support for 32-bit executables or must have the 32-bit compatibility libraries installed.

HPE StoreFabric Emulex Adapters Release Notes

Beginning with software release 11.2, Fibre Channel (LightPulse) adapters and Converged Network adapters (OneConnect) have independent software kits.

It is highly recommended that you review the Broadcom Software Kit Migration User Guide for more detailed information regarding this change. 

To obtain the guide:

1.  Go to http://www.hpe.com/support/manuals
2. Using the HPE model number as your guide, enter the adapter model number in the Search products box, and then click >>.

This document provides special instructions and considerations for using the driver kits for FC and CNA adapters.

Special cases include those in which pre-11.2 (original) drivers and applications are replaced by the new 11.2 drivers and applications, and cases in which inbox
drivers are replaced by the new 11.2 out-of-box (OOB) drivers.

 
Prerequisites 

Firmware updates may be accomplished using the inbox or Out of Box (OOB) drivers. Please consult SPOCK for a list of supported configurations available at the
following link:

http://www.hpe.com/storage/spock/

The OOB NIC driver is available on the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) which is available at http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download.

Additional requirements:

The target environment must have the libsysfs or sysfsutils package installed prior to the installation of the firmware update kit. If not already present, the
libsysfs or sysfsutils package can be obtained from the operating system installation media.

Environment must have 32-bit netlink library (libnl.so) installed for component to be able to discover Emulex HBAs/CNAs
Environment must be running the syslog daemon for the flash engine to run

Note: To enable the FCoE/iSCSI protocol on devices that support it, please install the appropriate Emulex FCoE/iSCSI driver.  The FCoE protocol also requires
the HPE Emulex FCoE Enablement Kit be installed. The drivers and enablement kit are also available on the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) which is available
at http://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download.

The Enablement Kit requires that the target environment have the libHBAAPI package installed from your OS installation media.

Install the FCoE Driver Kit, reboot, and then install the Enablement Kit.

Filename: CP038535.compsig; CP038535.zip
 
Important Note! 

Known Issues for FW version 2.42.5044 :

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
up.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the PF is passed through to a VM requires a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Downgrade to previous GA requires server reboot.Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the lattervalue should be used.
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters
On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.
In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more than 8 QP per mcg.
When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several
manufacturers including Mellanox's, preventing them from operating.
MFT tools might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the
flash and causes firmware hang.

Changes and New features in firmware version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:

Added support for the following:

An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC
address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation.
L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).
Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.

 QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the
SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated
counters such as error counters.
Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving
compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI
AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and
Reg B rewriting.
Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management cards tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters.
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.

VPD read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read- only fields if you wish to preserve them.
When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly.
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as.ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround:
Unplug the cable from the switch
Restart driver
Change the protocol via the appropriate tools.
RDP over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE).
Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme equals to “push to that rule”.
Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC port with 56GbE port link.
56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from

When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) setup, using mlxconfig when the PF (Physical Function) is passed through to a VM (Virtual Machine) requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific switches.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--identify).

Fixes 

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.

The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion
Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this
case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
link did not go up after reboot.
Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation
issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was
brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences
upon the driver’s teardown.

Changes and New features in firmware version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:

Added support for the following:

An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC
address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation.
L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).
Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB
(underlay) QPs.
[Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the
SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated
counters such as error counters.
Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving
compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI
AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.

 Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and
Reg B rewriting.
Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
upWorkaround: Reboot the server.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs  scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH
link is in an idle mode
Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management cards tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters.
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.

Bloom filter is currently not supported.
When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is displayed due to the mlxconfig tool:
You are trying to override configurable FW by non-configurable FW.
If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : y
You are trying to restore default configuration,
do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y
DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3.
Workaround: Upgrade to MLNX_OFED-2.1-x.x.x. or later.
VPD read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read- only fields if you wish to preserve them.
When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly.
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as.ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround:
Unplug the cable from the switch
Restart driver
Change the protocol via the appropriate tools.

is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) setup, using mlxconfig when the PF (Physical Function) is passed through to a VM (Virtual Machine) requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific switches.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--identify).
MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.

 
Fixes 

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.

The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion
Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this
case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
link did not go up after reboot.
Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation
issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was
brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences
upon the driver’s teardown.

872726-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port 841QSFP28 Adapter)

Changes and New features in firmware version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:

Added support for the following:

An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC
address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation.
L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).
Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB
(underlay) QPs.
[Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the
SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated
counters such as error counters.
Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving
compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI
AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.

Important Note! 

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5044, 2.42.5052:

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
upWorkaround: Reboot the server.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs  scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH
link is in an idle mode
Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management cards tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters.
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.
In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more than 8 QP per mcg.
When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several
manufacturers including Mellanox's, preventing them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
MFT tools might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the
flash and causes firmware hang..
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: flint -clear_semaphore
Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only).
PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
Bloom filter is currently not supported.
When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is displayed due to the mlxconfig tool:
You are trying to override configurable FW by non-configurable FW.
If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : y
You are trying to restore default configuration,
do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y
DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3.
Workaround: Upgrade to MLNX_OFED-2.1-x.x.x. or later.
VPD read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read- only fields if you wish to preserve them.
When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly.
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as.ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround:
Unplug the cable from the switch
Restart driver
Change the protocol via the appropriate tools.
RDP over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE).
Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme equals to “push to that rule”.
Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC port with 56GbE port link.
56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from
asynchronous event handler.
When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) setup, using mlxconfig when the PF (Physical Function) is passed through to a VM (Virtual Machine) requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific switches.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--identify).
MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.

 PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion
Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this
case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
link did not go up after reboot.
Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation
issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was
brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences
upon the driver’s teardown.

 be blocked when the port is down due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
Fixed an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.
Fixed wrongly implementation of SM SL2VL configuration.
Fixed a DC re-connect flow which in some cases sent bad completion.
Fixed a DC performance issue; separated DCRs SQ from the DCI SQs.
Fixed an issue causing the firmware to hang when running ibdiagnet. The received DiagData MAD included the following values:
• Clear_all = 1
• PageNum = 0
• Port_select = 0
To prevent the firmware from hanging, a port check was added to Set() as well.
Fixed an issue which caused hardware fatal error when running ibdump.
Fixed an FDR10 incorrect speed indication reported due to the usage of a translation function from the hardware speed to the PRM speed twice.

Deprecated code 0x0c0600 was changed to 0x020700 (InfiniBand network adapter).
Atomic response endianess is always a big endian.
[Documentation fix in PRM v2.01, no changes to the firmware code.]
Port asynchronous events documentation are different from the PRM. All port events have a type value of 0x9.
The following subtype values are used for the following events:
• link down=0x1
• link up=0x4
• link initialized=0x5
• lid change=0x6
• PKEY change=0x7
• GUID change=0x8
• client reregister=0x9
Alternate Path Migration (APM) triggers only a single affiliated asynchronous error event in the case of a path migration failure.
Using a min_rnr_nak value of 0x5 will cause failures when creating reliable connection (RC) QPs.
On rare occasions DC Initiator completions might be lost.
The following signature rules are not supported (Numbering based on "signature rules table" in PRM):
• Rule #12: T10 DIF
• Rule #13: T10 DIF CS
• Rule #14 T10 DIF CS
VL arbitration configuration does not ensure minimum bandwidth for VL as configured.
On very rare occasions, a false firmware “hanged” report is printed in the dmesg.
CQ buffer resize not supported.
When connecting to InfiniScale family switches and non-Mellanox InfiniBand switches DDR and QDR speeds may show line errors and in some cases
might downgrade to SDR speed.

Important Note! 

Known Issues for FW version 2.42.5044 :

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
up.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the PF is passed through to a VM requires a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Downgrade to previous GA requires server reboot.Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the lattervalue should be used.
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters
On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.
In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more than 8 QP per mcg.
When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several
manufacturers including Mellanox's, preventing them from operating.
MFT tools might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the
flash and causes firmware hang.
Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when usingthe MC2210411-SR4 module
Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only).
PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV
Bloom filter is currently not supported.
Firmware downgrade message When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3
RM#DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3
RM#VPD read-only fields are writable.
Increasing SymbolErrorCounter When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
RSOD while running PXE (legacy) on G9 servers. This occurs only when PXE boot fails and BIOS boots from HDD. Currently it is pending BIOS fix.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
RDP over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme equals to “push to that rule”
Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC port with 56GbE port link.
56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic in mlx-4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from
asynchronous event handler.
832298:When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
AHS reports wrong MTU size
RM#846523: MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer

Changes and New features in firmware version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:

Added support for the following:

An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC
address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation.
L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).
Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB
(underlay) QPs.
[Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the
SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated
counters such as error counters.
Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving
compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI
AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.

L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).
Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB
(underlay) QPs.
[Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the
SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated
counters such as error counters.
Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving
compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI
AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and
Reg B rewriting.
Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

Important Note! 

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5044, 2.42.5052:

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
upWorkaround: Reboot the server.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs  scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH
link is in an idle mode
Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management cards tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters.
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.
In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more than 8 QP per mcg.

 When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several
manufacturers including Mellanox's, preventing them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
MFT tools might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the
flash and causes firmware hang..
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: flint -clear_semaphore

Workaround: Do not write to read- only fields if you wish to preserve them.
When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly.
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as.ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround:
Unplug the cable from the switch
Restart driver
Change the protocol via the appropriate tools.
RDP over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE).
Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme equals to “push to that rule”.
Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC port with 56GbE port link.
56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from
asynchronous event handler.
When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) setup, using mlxconfig when the PF (Physical Function) is passed through to a VM (Virtual Machine) requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific switches.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--identify).

Fixes 

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.

The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion
Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this
case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
link did not go up after reboot.
Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation
issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was
brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences
upon the driver’s teardown.

Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
[Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
Reduced firmware’s memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the
connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified
period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.

New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:

Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs

New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:

Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different
packet modifications apply to different duplications.
Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.
Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently not supported.
Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and
Reg B rewriting.
Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

 Fixes in version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:

mlxconfig tool reported all possible expansion ROM images, instead of presenting only the existing images.
Modifying VMQoS rate limiter parameters during traffic caused transmission failure.
Aligned the default tuning type in PHY TEST MODE to the device protocol.
When a device is operating in Safe Mode state, and the user issues the mlxfwreset command, the device might fail to come-up correctly after the reset.
Note: Do not run mlxfwreset when operating in a Safe Mode state.
Fixed an issue related to PCIe "Surprise link down" event reporting capability.
Fixed an issue that resulted in the link partner experiencing false active linkup when plugging in a base-T cable to a closed port.

Fixes in version 12.24.1000:

Fixed an issue that caused the max_qp_retry_freq_exceeded counter (including a CQE with error syndrome 0x97, and the QP moving to error state) to be
activated only after exceeding the NIC Vport context max_qp_retry_limit, and not when reaching it.

Fixes in version 16.24.1000:

PCIe bifurcation issue.

Deadlock in RX related to the “send-invalidate” flow, resulted in RX getting stuck.
Rare errors in RX that resulted in double completion.

Important Note! 

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5044, 2.42.5052:

When using the QSFP module RTXM320-581, and performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not come
upWorkaround: Reboot the server.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs  scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LES will not be active while the ETH
link is in an idle mode
Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management cards tools and that returned by
fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value
derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
Workaround: Use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX®-3 adapters.
RH6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SR-IOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver compatibility issue.
In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more than 8 QP per mcg.
When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several
manufacturers including Mellanox's, preventing them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
MFT tools might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the
flash and causes firmware hang..
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: flint -clear_semaphore
Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only).
PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
Bloom filter is currently not supported.
When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is displayed due to the mlxconfig tool:
You are trying to override configurable FW by non-configurable FW.
If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] : y
You are trying to restore default configuration,
do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y
DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3.
Workaround: Upgrade to MLNX_OFED-2.1-x.x.x. or later.
VPD read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read- only fields if you wish to preserve them.
When working in VPI mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters misbehave and increase rapidly.
Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management resulting in communication loss.
CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
ConnectX-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as.ConnectX-3 VF device ID due to driver limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround:
Unplug the cable from the switch
Restart driver
Change the protocol via the appropriate tools.
RDP over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE).
Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme equals to “push to that rule”.
Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC port with 56GbE port link.
56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from
asynchronous event handler.
When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit. Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link
is in an idle mode.
In SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) setup, using mlxconfig when the PF (Physical Function) is passed through to a VM (Virtual Machine) requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific switches.
Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--identify).
MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.

 
Fixes 

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.

The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion
Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.

© Copyright 2019 Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP 240

 The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this
case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
link did not go up after reboot.
Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation
issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was
brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences
upon the driver’s teardown.

This firmware adds a feature that will periodically assess the health of the writer element of the head by verifying the data after a write operation to
ensure more robust data integrity.
When performing format on drives with marginal servo flaws, it takes too long to format or format fails with 03/31 reported across the interface on
subsequent commands. This firmware includes a change that moves the servo flaw characterization retries earlier in the sequence of format.

Fixes 

Fixed issue to a read-disturb mechanism within the NAND induced only during 4K reads with partially programed blocks. The NAND read time is modified
to prevent the impact of the reads. This change prevents premature or false failure of the drive.
Fix to a non-exploitable vulnerability in the firmware download process. Corrected FW will increment the security version to ensure that all SSDs receiving
the update will not be capable of downloading previous FW with the issue.  Regression back to an earlier version of firmware will not be possible.

About installation and enablement of SMA service:

During AMS installation in interactive mode, there is pop up message to selectively install SMA.
If Yes is selected, SMA service will be installed and set to running state.
If No is selected, SMA service will be installed but the service is not enabled.
During AMS installation in silent mode, SMA is installed but the service is not enabled.
To enable SMA service at a later time, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\OEM\AMS\Service\ (Typically c:\Program Files\OEM\AMS\Service) and
execute "EnableSma.bat /f"
IMPORTANT: The SNMP service community name and permission must also be setup. This is not done by “EnableSma.bat”.
To disable SMA after it has been enabled, go to the following folder: %ProgramFiles%\OEM\AMS\Service\ (Typically c:\Program
Files\OEM\AMS\Service) and execute "DisableSma.bat /f"
After installing Windows operating system, make sure all the latest Microsoft Updates are downloaded and installed (wuapp.exe can be launched to start
the update process). If this is not done, a critical error may be reported in Windows Event Log, “The Agentless Management Service terminated
unexpectedly.”.

Prerequisites 

The HPE Smart Storage Administrator for Linux requires the HPE System Management Homepage software to be installed on the server.  If the HPE System
Management Homepage software is not already installed on your server, please download it from HPE.com and install it before installing the HPE Smart Storage
Administrator for Linux.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: HPE SSA (GUI) for Linux can now be run without requiring the HPE System Management Homepage.  HPE SSA now supports a Local
Application Mode for Linux.  The HPE System Management Homepage is still supported, but no longer required to run the HPE SSA GUI.

To invoke, enter the following at the command prompt:

ssa -local

The command will start HP SSA in a new Firefox browser window. When the browser window is closed, HP SSA will automatically stop. This is only valid for the
loopback interface, and not visible to external network connections.
