FM. With VBL you can also monitor and analyze your
data usage daily, within specific service periods, or
spanning multiple service periods.
G-TAP A Series 2
The G-TAP A Series 2 comprises active network taps that mirror 100% of network traffic, implement
the “Always-On” architecture, and have increased density (8 TAPs in 1RU) and improved security
(SSH and SNMPv3). This release introduces the following additional products in this series:
• G-TAP-ASF21: The G-TAP A-SF2 SFP+ network TAPs run the same GigaVUE-OS as the GigaVUE TA
Series and HC Series devices, and can be managed via CLI over SSH or by GigaVUE-FM. Unlike
G-TAP A-TX2, the G-TAP A-SF21 supports SFP/SFP+ ports.
• G-TAP-ATX21-C: The G-TAP A-TX2 copper network TAPs run the same GigaVUE-OS as the
GigaVUE TA Series and HC Series devices, and the G-TAP-ATX21 model can be managed via
CLI over SSH or by GigaVUE-FM. The G-TAP-ATX21-C model looks and works just like G-TAP-
ATX21 except the Ethernet management port is disabled and can only be managed via the
console port.

Resolved 5.10.04
The following table describes the issues that were resolved in 5.10.04 sorted by Product Area and
Reference ID.
Resolved in 5.10.04
Product Area Reference Issue Description
Infrastructure- HD- 64239, The chassis migration procedure failed to successfully add a second
Mgmtd HD-64822 replacement device to the cluster, which shifted all remaining nodes
except the master device to limited mode.
Hardware HD-64977 The GigaVUE-TA25 Intel Firmware Security vulnerabilities have been
fixed.
Note: The fix requires a BIOS update. GigaVUE-FM devices would be
updated automatically. For other devices use the command ‘coreboot
install’ to update your BIOS. Power cycle the device once the update is
completed.
Infrastructure HD-64911 While a cluster/device is configured with huge number of maps, where
majority of maps have a greater number of source ports associated
with them, joining a node to the cluster, or reloading the cluster/device
can trigger the safe mode.
Hardware HD-64978 In rare scenarios the port LEDs of GigaVUE-TA25 were not functional due
to LEDs microcontroller timing issue.
Resolved 5.10.03

Intelligence HD-62560 able to export the metadata records for all DNS traffic. The "out of
buffer" counter under the VPort stats would increment indicating the
number of packets for which the metadata records are not exported.
Workaround: configure the match ipv4 rule instead of the no rule match
pass all.
Driver HD-62542 When reloading HC2 image, due to mux deselection miss, the sfp
eeproms are read incorrectly and eventually the SFP's would be
displayed as invalid. This was resolved by adding mux deselection logic.

HD-52680 If a GigaVUE node is unable to read the product code of the Power
Supply Unit (PSU) module, then all the PSU parameters will be
displayed as N/A except the following parameters:
• Product Code
• Serial Number
• Hardware revision
• Status
In addition to the above parameters, for GigaVUE-HC3, the value for
the "capacity" parameter will also be displayed as N/A.
Minimal output voltage (such as 0.63 V) and minimal output current
(such as 0.2 A) is expected when the PSU module is in the "off" state.
This behavior is due to a voltage leak. In the GigaVUE-HC3 node, the
input under "voltage fault" is set only when there is a real under-
voltage condition.
In some modules, the temperature fault is latched, which means that
if an over-temperature condition occurs, the temperature fault is set.
When the PSU temperature drops and remains within a safe range,
the PSU module will shut down and will restore power automatically,
but the temperature fault will remain set. The only time the fault
setting is cleared is when the PSU is power cycled. This behavior
occurs in the following modules:
• GigaVUE-TA10
• GigaVUE-TA40
• GigaVUE-TA100
• GigaVUE-TA100CXP

GigaVUE-OS Upgrade
To upgrade GigaVUE-OS, the recommended procedure is to back-up your settings on each node
and perform the pre-upgrade checks (default admin password, the maximum number of images,
U-Boot version, and Coreboot version) before installing the image. The upgrade path from previous
versions of the GigaVUE-OS varies depending on the current OS version and node type. It is
recommended that you plan your upgrade before performing any upgrade steps.
NOTE: While upgrading from any version lower than v5.5.xx, an association of more than one VPort
to the same GigaSMART group needs to be removed for any existing GTP GigaSMART operation.
IMPORTANT : The size of the GigaVUE-OS image for GigaVUE-HC1 increased in 5.10.01 and
upgrading directly from a pre-5.9 release to 5.10.01 or above is not supported. The following upgrade
path is recommended: 5.9.00.04 or 5.9.01 → 5.10.04.
Documentation: Refer to the GigaVUE-OS Upgrade Guide for the complete upgrade procedures, also
available via the Online Documentation: 5.10.xx Upgrade Documentation and Supported Upgrade
Paths for GigaVUE-OS 5.10.xx.
GigaVUE-FM Deployments
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT GIGAVUE-FM DEPLOYMENTS
GigaVUE-FM deployments using releases before 5.8 cannot be directly upgraded. To preserve all
the configurations and data from the installations running prior releases of GigaVUE-FM,
complete the special migration procedure, you must perform migration steps, first.
• Fresh Installs: If deploying GigaVUE-FM for the first time in the environment OR if configuration
and data migration from the prior release is not desired, refer to the GigaVUE-FM Installation
for a fresh installation.
NOTE : If you are deploying a GigaVUE-FM Hardware Appliance 2.0, for initial configuration
of iDRAC9, refer to Dell PowerEdge - How to configure the iDRAC9 and the LifeCycle Controller
Network IP.
• Migrating from a release prior to 5.8: If you are running a version prior to 5.8, you must first
upgrade to GigaVUE-FM 5.7.02.21, a special release that provides the tools to manage and
perform the migration. You can then proceed with the migration. Refer to GigaVUE-FM
Migration in this guide.
NOTE : If you do not perform the migration, you will be required to add existing devices to
GigaVUE-FM.
GigaVUE-FM Migration
NOTE : Because the GigaVUE release v5.10.03 is for GigaVUE-OS only; not GigaVUE-FM, there is no
update to the migration instructions in this release.
You cannot directly upgrade a GigaVUE-FM instance from a release prior to 5.8 to release 5.10.04
or above. As described under GigaVUE-FM Deployments, instead of upgrading to 5.10.04, you
must migrate your existing configurations and data such as audit logs, events, syslogs, and statistics
from your current GigaVUE-FM version (prior to 5.8.xx ) to GigaVUE-FM 5.10.04.
Upgrading from 5.8.xx to 5.10.04:
• If you already migrated to 5.8.xx, you can upgrade directly to 5.10.04. Refer to GigaVUE-FM
Upgrade in this document.
Migrating to 5.10.04 from a release prior to 5.8.xx:
• If you are running a version prior to 5.8.xx, you must first upgrade to GigaVUE-FM 5.7.02.21, a
special release that provides the tools to manage and perform the migration. You can then
proceed with the migration to GigaVUE-FM 5.10.04.
• Perform the GigaVUE-FM upgrade to 5.7.02.21 and the migration to 5.10.04 in the same
maintenance/migration window.
Documentation: Refer to the GigaVUE-FM Installation and Migration Guide v5.10.01 for the procedures
or search for “GigaVUE-FM Migration” in the 5.10 Online Documentation. Refer to the “Supported
Migration and Upgrade Paths” section in the GigaVUE-FM Migration instructions for a clear description
of the paths to upgrade from any supported release.
NOTE: The GigaVUE-FM 5.7.02.21 migration image is only to be used for migration to GigaVUE-FM
5.10.02. It is not intended for managing production nodes. Upgrades from earlier GigaVUE-FM
releases to the migration image must immediately be followed by an upgrade to 5.10.02 within the
same maintenance window to avoid any performance challenges.
GigaVUE-FM Installation
GigaVUE-FM can be installed on ESX, MS HyperV, or KVM.
Documentation: Refer to the GigaVUE-FM Installation and Migration Guide for the procedures or search
for “GigaVUE-FM Installation and Migration” in the 5.10 Online Documentation.
GigaVUE-FM Upgrade
NOTE: You cannot directly upgrade your GigaVUE-FM instance to release 5.10.02 from a release
prior to 5.8. Refer to GigaVUE-FM Migration Instructions in this document for details.
