The IC Server Deployment console is not able to properly display and target BL2x220c blades installed in the bay slots from 10 to 16. * On rare circumstances, the HP c-Class BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to get an EBIPA assigned address and may instead get a 0.0.0.0 IP address or an externally assigned DHCP address even though they are configured to get EBIPA assigned addresses. This issue is most visible following an interconnect reset, but may also occur after an extended period of run time. This issue will only occur on a very busy flat network where the OA and interconnect modules are not split off into separate management network. * After upgrading Onboard Administrator firmware from versions prior to OA v3.50 to OA v3.5x or OA 3.60, auto login requests initiated from the Onboard Administrator to iLO may not be successful. Potentially impacted auto login requests are initiated when performing such actions as: * Launching iLO Web Administration or Remote Console from the Onboard Administrator graphical user interface * Accessing server console using the Onboard Administrator Insight Display KVM Menu * Executing the HPONCFG, CONNECT SERVER, or UPDATE ILO Onboard Administrator CLI commands * Executing Enclosure Firmware Management tasks on a server - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **Interconnects** * In the c3000 enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. - Fixed a bug where the user may get the error "The soap response packet was unparseable" when entering text into the web interface. * Fixed a bug where a password that was eight characters long could be matched to a password of greater than eight characters if the first eight characters were equivalent. * Fixed a bug where commands being run remotely from an SSH client may not complete successfully. - Low Voltage Power support for HP BladeSystem c7000 single-phase enclosures * Support for a 24 hour power meter for the entire enclosure * Enhanced Thermal Logic features * GUI enhancements - Minor bug fixes - Added support for the BL860c * Added support for the Cisco MDS 9124 and Cisco MDS 9124e * Enhanced thermal logic * Enhanced EBIPA to allow specific IP address assignment per bay * Added a CLI command to simulate a removal and insertion of a device * Added iLO text console access from the command line for both ProLiant and Integrity servers. * Added iLO virtual serial console access from the command line for ProLiant servers * Added support for Internet Explorer 7.0 and Firefox 2.0 * Improved the time it takes for the OA to power on a full enclosure of devices * Added support for the daylight savings time changes in 2007 and 2008 * Added iSCSI MAC address display on the GUI Port Mapping page * Added CLI commands to program the enclosure serial number, enclosure part number and AC input module type * GUI Navigation Tree now shows the Blade Server Name if it's set by the customer in the server blade's RBSU - Fixed an issue where an Interconnect Module would erroneously be marked as having a non-recoverable error * Corrected a FRU display issue with Ethernet Pass-through modules * Corrected an issue where a ProLiant BL465c would not power up and would display an error message in the iLO remote console that said "high temperature condition detected by processor" - New Hardware Support: * NC360m Dual-port 1GbE BL-c Adapter * NC364m Quad-port 1GbE BL-c Adapter * 1/10Gb-F Virtual Connect Ethernet Fiber Module * StorageWorks SB920c Tape Blade * Tower Version of c3000 Enclosure * KVM Module for c3000 Enclosure * DC Power Supply for c7000 Enclosure New Firmware Features: * Two-factor Authentication option for Onboard Administrator log-in * SNMP Test Trap Generator * Alertmail Test Mail Generator * Integrity Blade System Health information is available in the OA GUI and CLI. as a diagnostic field * In SNMP, added AC Input Power consumption information for each power supply * Improved GUI loading performance for multiple enclosure display * Added Onboard Administrator syslog entries for single sign-on events from HP System Insight Manager. - Updated Daylight Saving Mode for New Zealand * Disabled web server trace/track capability to improve for security * Corrected Enclosure Part Number information for c3000 * Corrected possible erroneous Onboard Administrator failover at enclosure cold power-up. This problem sometimes occurred with a full c7000 enclosure with multiple mezzanine cards installed on Integrity blades (at enclosure cold power-up). * Corrected possible erroneous health status display of Interconnect Modules (at enclosure cold power-up). * Fixed an issue where a fan in the wrong slot is marked as degraded (instead of location error information). * Fixed an issue where the Insight Display may stop responding. * Fixed an issue where a PCI Expansion blade is erroneously marked as critical when its partner blade is removed. * Fixed an issue where SNMP alert destinations may get reset after an Onboard Administrator reboots. * Fixed an issue where a SB40c Storage Blade won't power on if it replaces a server blade that was configured for Virtual Connect. * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator may display wrong MAC addresses for NICs 3 and 4 on a BL860c blade. * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator may report a blade server is powered on while consuming 0 watts.

Blade servers must complete POST (Power On Self Test) at least one time before the Onboard Administrator can display the correct information. * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator Port Mapping page showed all zeros for some HP ProLiant Blade Servers' embedded NIC MAC addresses. * Fixed an identification error for some Cisco MDS 9124e Fabric Switches. - Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator could clear the Virtual Connect parameters from one or more servers following the sequence of events described below. This issue caused a "Profile Pending" condition, detected and reported by Virtual Connect Manager, that required affected servers to be powered off to clear the problem. The Onboard Administrator is rebooted, power-cycled, or failed over followed by any of these events: * The Virtual Connect Manager (executing on a Virtual Connect Ethernet module in I/O bay 1 or 2) failed over * The Virtual Connect Manager changed IP addresses (due to a change in network connection, DHCP server, or Enclosure Bay IP Addressing setting) * The Virtual Connect Manager was used to change the Virtual Connect Domain Name value. - New hardware support: * HP ProLiant BL260c G5 Server Blade * Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120X for HP * Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120G for HP New features: * Enclosure IP address option * Onboard Administrator failover upon link loss * Power-on delay option * Onboard Administrator network port - forced setting option * Onboard Administrator remote syslog logging option * Onboard Administrator strict password option * Onboard Administrator Name setting via Insight Display - Eliminated false Power Supply alerts for c7000 enclosures * EBIPA address setting changes do not reset Interconnect Modules - Fixed a network loop issue that can result when a forced Onboard Administrator failover is initiated from the Standby Onboard Administrator while the Active Onboard Administrator is in its boot-up sequence or non-responsive. * Fixed an issue where Virtual Connect modules may lose inter-module communication upon an Onboard Administrator failover. * Fixed an issue with the CLI EBIPA INTERCONNECT commands where EBIPA IP settings are not configured for Interconnect modules after the command execution. This issue existed only with the Onboard Administrator firmware V2.20. The GUI functionality was not affected. The CLI commands affected are: * SET EBIPA INTERCONNECT * ENABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT * DISABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT * Fixed an issue where the CLI SET USER PASSWORD command intermittently resulted in an error response when the command was issued via Telnet or SSH. - New features: * Added GUI LDAP Test Page feature * Added a CLI command "SHOW SERVER BOOT ORDER". * Enhanced the EBIPA feature to allow a leading numeric value for DNS name settings. * Improved C7000 Dynamic Power Saving functionality. This improvement requires an update to the Onboard Administrator Tray microcode from version 1.2 to version 1.3. Upon upgrading to the Onboard Administrator firmware V2.25, the Onboard Administrator Tray microcode will be automatically updated. - Corrected an issue with CLI commands "UPDATE DEVICE TRAY" and "UPDATE DEVICE ALL" where c-Class Power Supplies become unusable (refer to the advisory c01491657 - Onboard Administrator CLI Commands "UPDATE DEVICE TRAY" and "UPDATE DEVICE ALL" May Cause Enclosure Power Supplies to Become Temporarily Unusable in HP BladeSystem c3000 or c7000 Enclosures). * Fixed an issue where the blade representation on the GUI can be incorrect (missing or wrong size). * Fixed an issue where Virtual Connect credentials can be lost after an Onboard Administrator failover when the Enclosure IP feature is enabled. * Fixed an issue where blades may not power on after an c3000 Onboard Administrator Tray module is removed and reinserted (refer to the advisory c01162866 - Removing and Reinserting the HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator Module on an HP BladeSystem c-Class c3000 Enclosure During Power-On Self-Test (POST) May Lead to Erroneous "High Temperature Condition" Message). * Fixed an issue of spurious and false power supply alerts for the c3000 enclosure. * Fixed an issue where virtual connect IP addresses were incorrectly assigned in c3000 enclosures. * Fixed an issue where OA reboots due to "Management process unresponsive". * Fixed an issue where OA would exhaust all memory resources. - Added OA Japanese localization based on browser language preference settings - New support: * Support for new c-Class hardware devices including: * HP ProLiant BL460c G5 * HP ProLiant BL465c G5 * HP ProLiant BL495c G5 * HP ProLiant BL680c G5 * HP ProLiant BL685c G5 * HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation * HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation * HP StorageWorks SB 1760c Tape Blade * HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module * HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module * HP NC532m Dual Port 10GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapter * HP Smart Array P700m Controller * HP 2400W High Efficiency Power Supply for the c7000 enclosure * Support HP Insight Power Manager v2.00 Functional Enhancements: * To support the **Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping feature**, OA v2.32 has the following requirements: * Requires iLO v1.70 and iLO Select License. * On ProLiant blade servers, requires System ROM dated November 2008 or later. On the BL680c, requires 2008.09.23 or later. * To function properly across linked enclosures, all linked enclosures are required to be updated to OA v2.30 or later. * Added **USB Key Support** to all HP c-Class BladeSystem Enclosures * New OA CLI commands to support showing *.BIN, *.CFG and *.ISO files on USB key and connecting to servers * *.BIN file on USB key for OA firmware update * *.CFG file on USB key for OA configuration save/restore * New Insight Display USB Menu screen providing OA firmware update or OA configuration save/restore * *.ISO files on USB key for CD/DVD image files to be connected to servers * Blade OS installations can be run directly from an ISO file on a USB key which eliminates the need to burn physical CD/DVD media and allows each blade to access different ISO files. * HP BladeSystem Firmware Deployment Tool maintenance CD can be used directly from the .ISO file on a USB Key without burning a physical CD. * Enhanced OA GUI Enclosure DVD support including connecting *.ISO files on USB key to servers * Support LDAP and Active Directory nested groups.

A user must now disable remote logging before clearing the syslog server address. * Fixed an issue where sidecar blades would not power on due to the partner blade being allowed to be incorrectly power on first. * Fixed an issue where power cycling the enclosure would cause a server and its sidecar to falsely report "Inappropriate device in adjacent bay". * Fixed an issue where the "CONNECT SERVER" command would terminate the CLI session if the maximum number of iLO users had already been created. * Fixed an issue where the LCD firmware sync option would still be available when there was mismatched OA hardware. The OA will now disable the sync button when this condition exists. * Fixed an issue where the OA does not show all temperature information for Integrity Servers with unpopulated CPU sockets. * Fixed an issue where the "REBOOT SERVER FORCE" command would sometimes result in blades being powered off. * Added a syslog message when the allocated power value of a server blade is being updated and iLO is unresponsive. * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping error on a blade would result in the OA's enclosure power summary not to display Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping related information for all blades. * Fixed an issue where the KVM connections to a server blade would fail approximately 29 days after the last iLO reset. When this issue occurs iLO is functioning normally but the OA fails to connect with a syslog message, "OA: KVM Bay X - Connection to blade failed." * Fixed an issue where the enclosure DVD status was inconsistent across GUI, CLI and LCD for all the blades. * Modified the OA to no longer log the "OA:tbmuser_logged out of the OA" event. * Fixed an issue where the c7000 KVM display menu for bay 16A would report "absent" when a double dense server blade such as the BLx220c was installed in bay 16. * Fixed an issue on c3000 Onboard Administrator where the CONNECT INTERCONNECT command would sometimes drop characters if the command was over 16 bytes. * Modified the Insight Display representation of double dense server blades to display a distinguishable separation so that it is not confused with the display of a single density server blade. * Fixed an issue on the Directory Settings Test page where it would improperly identify failed LDAP test when the ping test failed. * Fixed an issue where VC configuration parameters were not correctly applied after recovering from Profile Pending state. - *Enhancements/New Features** > **Hardware Support** > > * Added support for the HP BLc7000 2400W Platinum Power Supply > > **Firmware Additions** > > * Added support for IPv6. > * Added support for Virtual LAN (VLAN) networking within the c-Class enclosure. > * Added support for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1. > * Added support for Internet Explorer 8 in compatibility mode only. > * Added support for Mozilla Firefox 3.5. > * Added support for logging blade correctable and uncorrectable memory errors on G6 server blades only. > * Enhanced Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping: > * Provides for a maximum allowable cap range based on the hardware and firmware available in the enclosure and installed server blades > * Can now be enabled in a non redundant power environment > * Can now be enabled in a DC-powered enclosure > * Added a new CLI command that retrieves and displays a server blade's iLO 2 Event Log. > * Modified the SHOW ALL to also include the iLO 2 Event Log for all installed server blades. > * Enhanced the handling of previously cached browser pages when upgrading the Onboard Administrator. > * Self-signed certificates generated with Onboard Administrator v3.00 now use a SHA1 signature instead of the less secure MD5 signature. > * Enhanced Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) to support individual network settings for each bay instead of global network settings which encompass all bays. > * The method used to determine duplicate EBIPA IP addresses within OA 2.60 and earlier has been found to be unreliable and at times indicates duplicate IP addresses that were in fact not duplicate, thus duplicate IP address checking has been removed from the OA 3.00. - *Important Notes:** * Onboard Administrator v3.00 EBIPA changes to support configuring device bays or interconnect bays in different IP subnets (particularly to support the new Enclosure VLAN feature) require a new CLI command to save the EBIPA settings. Enclosure configuration files saved on previous Onboard Administrator versions will not have the new SAVE EBIPA command, so it is highly recommended that the Enclosure configuration file be saved after the Onboard Administrator is updated to version 3.00; even if the new EBIPA features are not used, to ensure that the Enclosure configuration file has the proper EBIPA command sequence to restore the EBIPA settings. * Internet Explorer 6 does not natively support IPv6.

See Customer Advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01519680>. * **Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping** * **Caution:** Onboard Administrator v3.10 or later: Enabling Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping may result in one of the following: * Servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power" * A server may be unable to power on This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping after all server blades are powered on. If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value from a server blade - then that server blade could encounter this issue. The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping to provide more power available to the enclosure devices. * With Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping enabled, changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade. HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings. * **VLAN ** * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled: 1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the Onboard Administrator modules. 2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all Onboard Administrator modules. 3. Ensure that all HP SAS Switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the Onboard Administrator modules in that enclosure. **Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General** * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server blades not properly cooled after a BIOS firmware upgrade. See Customer Advisory c03365221 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03365221>. * Security enhancements. See Security Bulletin c03315912 for more information: <http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c03315912>. * Beginning with version 3.50, the OA could optionally generate 2048-bit keys for use with SSH and SSL. However, on upgrade the OA would retain existing 1024 bit keys to avoid disrupting ongoing communication. To switch from 1024-bit to 2048-bit keys you needed to first reset the OA configuration to factory defaults which would cause the generation of new keys. Beginning with version 3.56, a new CLI command "GENERATE KEY" can be used to force new keys to be generated at any time, i.e. without first resetting to factory defaults. For more information, refer to the section on new features. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware Support** * HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Workstation Blade * HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 Server Blade * HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem * **Firmware Additions** * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) allows administrators to define a single firmware baseline (SPP version) for the G5, G6, G7 and Gen8 Server Blades in a c-Class enclosure. The administrator can have the firmware updated to the baseline on server insertion, during a pre-defined maintenance window, or manually. The Onboard Administrator maintains logs of the EFM firmware updates, and reports on compliance with the established baseline. * EFM supports HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) 2011.09 or newer. Please review the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) documentation and release notes for issues and information about supported firmware components, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp>. * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21) * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21) * Administrators can now define a custom Login Banner. This can be used, for example, to display your specific Terms of Service (TOS) when logging in to the OA. * The OA IPv6 setting on the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings Page->IPv6 Settings tab now enables IPv6 traffic for all the devices in the enclosure (IPv6, RA, DHCPv6). * The OA will display IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO * You must have IPv4 infrastructure to retain complete manageability through the OA; e.g. virtual media, single sign on, Enclosure Firmware Management. * Insight Remote Support enables health and inventory data for the enclosure to be collected by HP to expedite resolution of your issues. Examples of data that is collected include: * Enclosure name * Enclosure product name * Enclosure part number * Enclosure serial number * Enclosure manufacturer name * Onboard Administrator firmware version * Onboard Administrator IP and MAC addresses * New CLI command SET SERIAL BAUD "<Baud Rate>" configures the baud rate settings for the OA serial console port. Valid Baud Rate values are: 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200. * New SHOW HEALTH CLI command provides a summary of the health/status of all components in the enclosure. * Beginning with iLO 3 (G7 server blades) firmware version 1.50 and iLO 4 (Gen8 server blades) firmware version 1.05 a change in the server status reported by the Onboard Administrator will be observed in cases where a server attempts to power on but power on is delayed or denied. In addition to the diagnostic status information indicating the cause of the power delay or denial, an additional diagnostic status indication will now be reported by the Onboard Administrator indicating that the server blade is reporting an internal degraded status. This is an intentional behavior change. * Enhanced the HPONCFG CLI command to allow variable substitution. HPONCFG sends a RIBCL script to the specified HP ProLiant server blades with the access level and privilege of the current user. Command syntax is as follows: HPONCFG [NOAUTOLOGIN] [SUBSTITUTE [TEST] {<variable>="value" [,<variable>="value"[,]]}] {ALL | <bay number> [{ , | - } <bay number>]} {<< <end marker> | <from_url> [<to_url>]} To use variable substitution, specify the token SUBSTITUTE followed by a list of variable assignments. Variable name and its value can include spaces, numbers, or any printable characters. Up to 25 variables are supported. The maximum length of variable name is 48 characters. Specify TEST to review the RIBCL script that will be sent to the iLO without executing the script. e.g. The following command line would replace the string "%NAME%" in the RIBCL script that gets executed with "MY_NAME": HPONCFG SUBSTITUTE NAME="MY_NAME" * Updated OA SNMP to support the CPQRACK-MIB version 1.16. Please see the HP Systems Insight Manager MIB Kit v9.20 for more details on the CPQRACK-MIB, <http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/mibkit.html>. * A new warning message, "Mixing different power supply models is not supported. The power supply in bay #X must be replaced with the proper part number.", is issued and the Power sub-system is degraded when different types of power supplies are mixed in c3000 enclosures. * With previous versions of the OA, packet flooding conditions on the management network could cause the OA to stop processing incoming packets. Once triggered, this condition would persist until the OA was restarted. The current version of the OA is more resilient to this condition, and will resume normal packet processing once the packet flooding conditions have cleared. HP continues to strongly recommend that OA network ports be separate from your production network. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * Previous versions logged transient network link status changes for the OA, servers and interconnects. For example: Apr 30 06:48:17 OA: Network link to server 6 is down Apr 30 06:49:02 OA: Network link to server 6 is up * **Thermals** * OA 3.5x firmware versions track cumulative fan communication errors during continuous OA uptime. Once a default threshold of cumulative errors is exceeded, the fan is marked as failed. Some Active Cool 200 fans experience intermittent fan communication failures that will trigger this failure typically within 3 months of continuous operation, although the fans are otherwise operating normally. Version 3.60 implements a different algorithm that avoids marking false failures with this generation of fans. See Customer Advisory c03395857 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03395857>. * **IPv6** * Alertmail now works with IPv6. * The DHCPv6 lease was reset each time the OA network was restarted by an OA reboot or other network configuration changes. This resulted in the OA inadvertently failing to request its existing IPv6 address when attempting to renew its IPv6 address via DHCP and typically receiving a different IPv6 address each renewal. * Under some conditions, users were unable to add a second IPv6 static address or to remove static IPv6 addresses thru the WEB GUI. * When the user specified both the Standby IPv6 DNS Server 1 and IPv6 DNS Server 2 thru the OA WEB GUI, the information for IPv6 DNS Server 1 was inadvertently discarded. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Firmware Additions** * **FIPS** * FIPS, or _Federal Information Processing Standards_, is a set of publications that document standards for implementing security. More information can be found on "National Institute of Standards and Technology" website <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html>. OA 3.70 provides a user selectable FIPS Mode of operation wherein: * only FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms such as AES, 3DES and SHA are permitted, * strong passwords are enforced, * integrity self-tests are performed whenever encryption services are used (Known Answer Tests - KATs), * and partition integrity checks on boot are performed. * Enabling FIPS mode on an OA module or redundant pair of OA modules automatically forces the OA module(s) to be reset to factory defaults due to FIPS requirements. Please configure the OA module(s) for FIPS mode operation prior to performing any other enclosure or OA configuration including configuration of Virtual Connect. * Some features are permanently disabled in FIPS mode for compliance reasons: * Telnet access * Enclosure IP mode * SNMP * OA Firmware downgrades * Set Factory Defaults * Upload support dumps * Disable strong passwords * Disable LCD PIN protection * The default security settings in OA 3.70 have been upgraded and are now equivalent to prior version's "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting. The "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting has been removed from OA 3.70. * Upon changing FIPS modes, all security related data is cleared from the OA, including certificates, keys, and other critical security parameters. Please refer to the security section in the Onboard Administrator user guide for more information. * FIPS is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21) * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21) * **GUI** * Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) is supported in compatibility mode only. The IE 10 "Windows 8 - Style UI Mode" is not supported. * OA GUI Management Console now allows login to 6Gb SAS Interconnect module Interfaces if VLANs are defined for the Interconnect modules. * **IPv6** * OA 3.70 adds a group box in the Management Processor Information tab on the iLO - Device Bay page, where a radio button is displayed to allow selection of the current IPv4 address and all IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * If using OA 3.6x, HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosures containing both of the following power supply models show the power subsystem degraded, with one or more power supplies being marked as mismatched. See Customer Advisory c03509204 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03509204>. * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 437572-B21 * Spare part number 441830-001 * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 500172-B21 * Spare part number 498152-001 - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * The power subsystem might be reported as degraded and the HP 1200W Common Slot-48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply DC power supplies (HP part number: 437573-B21) as failed due to a device mismatch when running OA firmware 3.6x or 3.70 in a c3000 enclosure. See Customer Advisory c03571787 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03571787>. * Intermittent issue where server name was reset to default after power cycle. * Intermittent issue that would incorrectly reflect the HP 6120XG Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP ProCurve 6120G/XG Blade Switch status after the switch was rebooted or after a switch firmware update was performed. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **Authentication ** * When the OA is enabled for TFA and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection. The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates. * **Integrity Server Blades** * Under rare circumstances an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover. See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140>. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware Additions** * HP 2650W HE PSU power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. * Brocade 16Gb/16 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch Pwr Pk+ for HP BladeSystem c-Class * HP 6125XLG Blade Switch * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB Adapter * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534M Adapter * HP QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-class * **Features Additions and Changes** * IPv6 support to EBIPA (Enclosure Bay IP Addressing) for interconnect modules and server blades * Language Pack Support to allow for Japanese and Chinese GUI interfaces * SNMP3 support * Enhanced the UPDATE ILO CLI commandto to support server blades with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled * The sender's email address for alertmail notifications * Monitoring of status of battery on OA module(s) with low battery level indication reported as OA diagnostic status. When a low battery level status indication is encountered, the spare battery kit (HP p/n 708907-001) should be used for replacement of the battery as soon as possible as enclosure configuration settings may be lost if the OA loses power. * Two-Factor Authentication user certificates no longer require the "sslclient" property to be set. * Removed support "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as supported SSH key exchange option by default. This may impact the ability of older SSH clients which do not support more contemporary and secure SSH key exchange options to connect to OA modules running OA 4.01. This can be re-enabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command. * **Browser Support** * Updated web browser support as follows: * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 * Google Chrome - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General** * Partnering alert on HP BladeSystem Insight Display LCD may not be cleared. See Customer Advisory c03801002 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03801002>. * When running OA firmware versions 3.6x or 3.7x with the OA deployed in a large, flat management network topology, the OA reboots after logging an OA system log similar to the following: * Nov 11 22:04:54 Kernel: Out of Memory: Kill process 10562 (iptables) score 822 and children. * KVM connections to iLO 2 server blades would fail if the default Remote Control Telnet port was changed in iLO. * HP Insight Management does not properly report partnered blades installed in lower slots when associated with a full height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL680c. This issues does not occur when the partner blade is associated with a half height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL460c. * Insight Display reports a config error when HP Integrity BL890c i2, HP Integrity BL870c i2, or HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blades are paired with a tape storage blade. * OA 'Link loss failover' does not function properly after performing OA FW SYNC. * Primary OA would stop responding to network requests with a "HTTP service is unresponsive" error message under certain management network configurations. * The OA firmware behavior related to downloading files via a URL specifying authenticated FTP as the protocol has changed. This new behavior results in the home directory of the specified user being used as the relative root path in the URL. A double "//" must now be specified at the beginning of the path specification within the URL in order to specify an absolute path that avoids the use of the specified user's home directory in the path. For example: "ftp://user:password@host//path/to/file" will specify an absolute path of /path/to/file while "ftp://user:password@host/path/to/file" will specify a path to /home/user/path/to/file. * **Alertmail** * False alertmail messages are sent indicating the enclosures status as degraded followed by another message indicating the status has changed to OK. * **Authentication** * When the OA is enabled for Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates, previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection. The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates. * OA reboots with a segmentation violation when uploading a user certificate with an invalid certificate authority (CA) path. * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)** * The OA EFM configuration would be improperly configured after restoring a previously saved OA configuration script. * When observing the EFM update process from a server blade console, note that manual user interaction with any user dialog screens presented can cause the EFM process for that server blade to fail. * **FIPS** * When FIPS mode has been enabled for the OA module(s) within an enclosure and a redundant OA which does not have FIPS mode enabled is later introduced into the enclosure, the current FIPS mode configuration will not be successfully synchronized to this newly introduced OA module. To work around this issue, it is recommended that the OA module be reset to factory defaults prior to being introduced into a redundant OA configuration where FIPS mode has been enabled. * When FIPS mode is enabled for a redundant OA configuration, the automatic synchronization of FIPS mode configuration from the active to the standby OA module will trigger a reset of the standby OA module to factory defaults. This operation will be incorrectly recorded in the OA syslog as having been performed by the "Insight Display" user. * **GUI** * Script error displayed on flashing OA * Issue 1: An alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" may occur if connectivity to the OA is lost. This can be safely ignored, and the user can sign in after the connection is restored. * Issue 2: An alert titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" may occur on a remote GUI session when flashing the OA. This may be safely ignored. * **Integrity Server Blades** * Under rare circumstances, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade installed in a HP BLc7000 Enclosure configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover. See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140> * **Interconnects** * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. * Some BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to connect or may experience excessive errors in certain scenarios after an I/O module is inserted into an enclosure that is already operating with OA firmware 3.6x/3.7x. See Customer Advisory c03811228 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03811228> * **LDAP** * Enhanced LDAP authorization to distinguish the same user name in different LDAP Groups. * **OA Upgrade** * The OA flash process completes successfully although 88% is the highest percentage reported. * **Power** * The OA would incorrectly display an 'AC Subsystem Overload' alert message due to a transient power condition related to the Dynamic Power Saving mode. * SHOW POWER CLI output does not immediately reflect power configuration changes made by SET POWER MODE * **SNMP** * The OA reboots with an out of memory condition due to many SNMP MIB Walk requests after being active for long periods of time. * SNMP not accessible from standby OA IP with OA 3.56 through OA 3.60. * **VLAN** * Slow OA and virtual media access with 3.60 and later when VLAN functionality is enabled. * OA firmware sync feature does not work when VLAN is enabled. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed ** * **General** * OA 4.02 includes fix for CVE 2014-0224.

If you wish to enable iLO Federation between blades in an individual enclosure, the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option in the OA must first be enabled. In addition to enabling this support for the enclosure, you must also enable the necessary support individually for any desired blades through the iLO user interfaces. The Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option is enabled by default. Please ensure that this setting is disabled if there are any concerns with enabling peer-to-peer communication between iLOs within the enclosure. The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands. * **FIPS** * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting. * **HP Insight Remote Support** * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration. * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode. * **IPv6** * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses. * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands. * **Security** * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol. * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default. Support for "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option was disabled in OA 4.01 by default. This can be disabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command if required. Note that updating to OA 4.11 will not change the current setting but resetting the OA factory default settings will result in"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" key exchange being enabled. Any saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately. * **Browser Support** * Updated web browser support as follows: * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11. * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24. * Google Chrome. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General** * ****Disabled support for OpenSSL TLS heartbeat extension.

The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands. * **FIPS** * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting. * **HP Insight Remote Support** * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration. * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode. * **IPv6** * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses. * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands. * **Security** * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol. * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default. Support for "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option was disabled in OA 4.01 by default. This can be disabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command if required. Note that updating to OA 4.11 will not change the current setting but resetting the OA factory default settings will result in"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" key exchange being enabled. Any saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately. * **Browser Support** * Updated web browser support as follows: * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11. * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24. * Google Chrome. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed **Onboard Administrator firmware version 4.13 resolved the following issue:**** * **General** * OA 4.10 is no longer available on the web and has been replaced with OA 4.13.

To use IPv6 networking, you should review the OA IPv6 settings and customize them as necessary for your specific IPv6 environment. Note that if routing between IPv6 management networks is required, the routing configuration of the OA and enclosure infrastructure devices may be performed either via external IPv6 router advertisements or, starting with OA 4.20, via static configuration of an IPv6 gateway. After completing the necessary IPv6 configuration of the OA, you may then access any IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices via its supported user interfaces and perform management actions from the OA. * Modified factory default state of IPv6 enclosure level settings (IPv6, DHCPv6, and SLAAC) from "disabled" to "enabled" by default to better support default connectivity to the OA in IPv6-only management network environments. Note that updating to OA 4.20 will not change the configuration of these settings but any subsequent reset to factory defaults will result in these settings being enabled. Any previously saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately. * Added support for configuration of a static IPv6 gateway as an addition to the previously existing static IPv6 network settings for the OA module. * Added support for configuration of an IPv6 gateway for blade server iLOs and interconnect modules via the Enclosure Bay IP Addressing for IPv6 feature. * **Interconnects** * Added two new CLI commands to support the "BLc SX1018HP" switch only: * SET INTERCONNECT ADMIN_PASSWORD FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - resets the Interconnect management password back to the factory setting. * SET INTERCONNECT FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - performs a factory reset on the Interconnect. * **SNMP** * In some instances, SNMP changes successfully configured from the OA user interface can fail to be processed properly most notably resulting in the OA failing to send SNMP traps to configured SNMP alert destinations. * **Browser Support ** * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11. * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24. * Google Chrome. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. - *Recommended** \- Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using OA 4.20 or 4.21. **Optional** - Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using an OA version prior to OA 4.12 and is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. - Patched the support for SSL/TLS MITM Vulnerability CVE-2014-0224 <http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt> - Addressed an issue where OA-iLO communication breaks when OA 4.22 is used with ILO-2 2.27, ILO-3 1.82 and ILO-4 2.10.

This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade. Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server. * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)** * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs. * **Security** * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG. * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. * **IPv6** * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface. * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings. * **DNS ** * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands. Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** **General** * In rare cases, the OA may fail to successfully identify server blades that have been either physically inserted into the enclosure or have been reset by executing the OA CLI RESET SERVER command. When this issue occurs, the affected server blades are misidentified as an unsupported blade type. * Restoring or configuring OA settings from a saved configuration script may fail to apply all network settings on the Standby OA module. The failing configuration script commands return the following error: "An error occurred while communicating with the other Onboard Administrator." * The RSA key for SSH is not properly exchanged with the Standby OA during an OA failover event when Enclosure IP Mode is enabled. After an OA failover event, when logging into the OA, SSH clients using the Enclosure IP address to access the Active OA may display an RSA key fingerprint warning message or "man-in-the-middle" security breach warning message. This issue only occurs on OA 4.1x or OA 4.2x versions of OA firmware when the OA has been factory reset or new SSH keys were manually generated. * The OA periodically reboots with the following entry logged in the OA system log:"OA: DHCP Monitor: DHCPD or RADVD is not running. Restarting OA." * In an IPv6-only management network environment with the VLAN feature enabled, the CONNECT SERVER OA CLI command fails to connect to the server blade serial console with an error displayed similar to the following: Connecting to bay 1 ... iLO failed to respond: Interrupted system call (4) **Browsers** * After logging in to the OA GUI via the Google Chrome browser (Chrome-v34.0.1847.116 m or greater), the OA web application fails to load properly. The OA GUI login screen may display the warning: "Your browser does not have the required functionality to run the application." * When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the results of a configuration script fail to load properly after uploading and executing a configuration script using a local file from the OA web GUI. This issue was seen only when more than one script was uploaded without refreshing the page **EBIPA** * Enclosure devices (including interconnect modules) fail to be configured with the Link Local address corresponding to the IPv6 gateway specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings. This issue only occurs when an IPv6 other than the Link Local address of the gateway is specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings and will only occur for certain gateway server devices. **Serial Console** * When logging in to connect to the OA via the serial port, if a user enters the **@** key as part of the login user name or password, the entered line is erased. * When the baud rate for the OA serial port is configured to a value greater than the default 9600, attempts to directly paste saved commands or text into an open OA serial console session results in truncation or corruption of the pasted data. **SNMP** * No response received to a UDP network request sent from a client to an enclosure device such as iLO or an interconnect module. This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Version 4.31 New Feature:** * Added support for HP OneView management of enclosure configurations that do not include HP Virtual Connect interconnect modules. * **Version 4.30 Features Additions and Changes: ** * **New Hardware Support:** * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server * Smart Array 12Gb SAS Controller * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650M Adapter * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB Adapter * HP Adapters QDR/EN 10Gb & FDR/EN 40Gb 544+M * HP 2650W High Voltage Power Supply * HP High Voltage Power Module * **General:** * Support for configuration of boot order settings for UEFI-capable blades operating in UEFI boot mode. * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.

This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - **General** * * Cipher suites are now configured and displayed using their RFC 5246 standardized names. * **EFM** * The maximum valid length of the Firmware Management ISO URL has been increased to 511 characters. o **FIPS** This version of the OA addresses FIPS 140-2 certification requirements and is in the In Process list located at <http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf>. Added support for FIPS 186-4 approved RSA key generation used in SSL/SSH keys and certificates Added support for the cipher TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Upgrading to this version of OA will replace old DSA keys with 2048-bit RSA keys to meet FIPS 140-2 requirements * Replaced the MD5 password hashing algorithm with the stronger SHA256 algorithm when the Onboard Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG. As a result of this change, OA 4.40 supports a maximum of 21 local users in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG. * Prevention of 1024-bit SSH/SSL key generation. - *General** * Devices with MAC addresses ending with "81:00" (such as f8:66:f2:6d:81:00) were unable to communicate with the OA. Some examples of the observed symptoms were: Attempts to ping the OA from the device fail The OA cannot use such a device as a gateway The OA GUI and CLI cannot be used from this device * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account that had OA administrator level privileges.This problem only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module. o When running OA firmware 4.0x, 4.1x, or 4.2x, the OA could erroneously report fans and/or power supplies as missing or failed even though they were not physically removed or failed. When this issue occurred, after a few seconds the affected fans and/or power supplies would reappear as normal. There are no known functional impacts associated with this issue other than associated brief status reporting anamolies. o When the CLI CONNECT SERVER command is issued to connect to the server as an LDAP user, the text console session opens successfully but the "wget: not an http,https or ftp url: http:/<IP Address> /xmldata?item=cpqkey" message is displayed. o In rare cases, the following message was logged in the Standby OA syslog during a redundancy role transition initiated by the CLI FORCE TAKEOVER command: "CERTS: Failed to open flash" This had no functional impact; the entry could be ignored. **Documentation** * In the September 2014 (Edition 23) HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator CLI User Guide for OA 4.30, within the description of the SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command, a command showing recommended values had the BODY MINRATE value as 50 instead of the correct value 500. The command with the correct recommended values is as follows: SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT HEADER 3-8 MINRATE 500 BODY 5-10 MINRATE 500 This error was corrected in the October 2014 (Edition 24) document. **EFM** * In rare cases, the Active OA module would reboot expectedly during the update of the OA firmware on redundant OA modules. When this issue occurred, the Active OA module would reboot during the transfer of the OA firmware image to the Standby OA module. The OA firmware update would fail to complete successfully; a segmentation fault (SEGV) error would be logged in the Active OA system log. This issue did not cause any firmware or data corruption, and the OA firmware update could be successful if retried following the occurrence of this issue. Note that this issue could only be encountered when updating OA modules running OA 4.30 firmware. o Attempts to update the firmware failed on an HP ProLiant Gen9 server blade configured in UEFI Boot Mode or UEFI Optimized Boot Mode. When this failure occurred, the firmware log for the blade server would indicate an error similar to the following for each update attempt, including the two automatic retries that occur on failure: Jul 15 09:34:19 Unable to detect ISOLINUX booting. A final status report similar to the following would also be issued: Jul 15 10:30:33 Firmware Management is incomplete on blade <bay number>. * When using an HP Firmware Management ISO image based on a URL that includes the HTTP port (for example, <http://10.226.36.35:8080/bp-151ilo-2014-08-26-1.iso>), EFM failed to mount the image. The following error message would be displayed: Unable to mount ISO or validate version information. The URL or ISO is invalid. CLI commands affected include those that depend on the URL specification via the SET FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT URL command (such as the UPDATE FIRMWARE SERVER command and the UPDATE IMAGE FW_ISO command).** ** o The EFM firmware log would indicate "Firmware Management successfully completed on blade x" even if the iLO firmware update failed to complete successfully. **IPv6** * Configuration scripts could not be applied to another OA properly when attempting to configure new EBIPA DNS IPv4/IPv6 addresses or IPv6 routes. Attempts to change the configurations could only add new addresses to those of the previous configuration. It was not possible to replace the existing addresses with the new ones. The following CLI commands now include the ALL keyword to allow clearing of all unwanted addresses or routes: * REMOVE EBIPA SERVER DNS ALL * REMOVE EBIPAV6 SERVER DNS ALL * REMOVE OA ROUTE IPV6 <ACTIVE|STANDBY> ALL A configuration script can now use these commands to clear the previous (unwanted) EBIPA DNS IP addresses and IPv6 static routes, and then add the new ones. **KVM** * Pressing **Enter** four times consecutively on a keyboard attached to the c7000 Enclosure integrated KVM module would cause the highlighted blade server on the KVM screen to power off or on, depending on its current power state. This issue has been fixed by interchanging the **Ok**/**Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons on the **Confirm: Change Server Power** and **Change Server Power** screens so that the **Cancel** button is highlighted by default instead of the **OK** or **Confirm** button. The default focus is set on the **Cancel** button. **Security** * The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2014-3511: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching man-in-the-middle attacks to force the use of TSL 1.0 instead of the intended later version of TLS. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 ([https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546).](https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546\).# \(QXCR1001370888\)) * CVE-2007-2242: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching denial-of-service attacks via crafted IPv6 type 0 router headers between two routers, resulting in network congestion. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 (<https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546>). * CVE-2014-3567: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a DOS denial-of-service (memory consumption) attack via crafted session tickets that triggers an integrity check-failure. * CVE-2014-3513: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message. * CVE-2014-3513: SRTP Memory Leak - a memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (before 1.0.1j) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message. * This release of the OA resolves this security vulnerability by compiling OpenSSl with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP (the OA does not use DTLS and SRTP). * CVE-2014-0139: A vulnerability affecting SSL/TLS transactions that might allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certificate Authority. * [CVE-2014-0015](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0015): A vulnerability when more than one authentication method is enabled and NTLM connections are reused, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request. * CVE-2014-0138: A vulnerability affecting certain LDAP connections that might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request (similar to issue CVE-2014-0015). * [CVE-2014-2522](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2522): A vulnerability when running on Windows and using an SChannel/Winssl TLS backend. When accessing a URL that uses a numerical IP address, curl does not verify that the server host name matches a domain name in the subject's CN or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. * In addition, OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.0.1h to address multiple CVE fixes. **SSH/SSL keys** * With OA firmware later than 4.0x, attempts to add an SSH key using the OA CLI ADD SSH KEY command might fail. Intermittently, after issuing the command, the user received an error message ("The submitted file is not a valid SSH key."), in which case the command failed. **SNMP** * SNMP alerts (or traps) sent from the OA to an IPv6 SNMP alert destination are sent incorrectly to destination port 161 instead of port 162 (per RFC 1157) when no destination port is explicitly specified as part of an IPv6 SNMP alert destination configuration. * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account with OA administrator level privileges. This issue in only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements: * **Hardware Additions** * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies. Features Additions and Changes * **General** * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity. * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password. New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD] * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy. * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI. * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action. * **Remote Support** * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures. * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery. * **EFM** * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state. * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up. * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users. - **General** * Fixed an issue which was seen when connecting to the OA from HP SIM using a LDAP account with the user name containing an exclamation character (!) for the SSO. * Fixed an issue where LDAP search contexts are showing empty after firmware is upgraded in FIPS Mode. * Fixed an issue where a customer logging in to OA using AD/LDAP credentials as a member of both Domain Administrators and Domain Users groups, and where one enclosure is given Domain Administrators access to the full administrative rights of the enclosure, and the other is given Domain Users limited access * Corrected a display issue where iLO logs listed in OA shows the order of events sorted incorrectly when the events are more than a year old. The events are displayed sorted on the month and hence events that occurred in the same month in two different years are incorrectly displayed together. The sorting now considers the year also. * Fixed an issue where the Device Bay Information page does not show the Management Processor/iLO NIC details under the Server NIC Information table, when the server is powered down. * Fixed an issue where OA reports incorrect values for Caution and Critical temperature limits when a blade is in Telco Mode. * Addressed an issue where Connect Server Serial command used to fail when server * **FIPS** * Fixed an issue which prevented transition to FIPS mode OFF when the enclosure is in FIPS-Degraded state. The same failure was seen when the transition was performed on a linked enclosure which was in FIPS-Degraded state. The issue has been addressed and the FIPS mode transition is allowed. * **EFM** * Addressed issues that would result in EFM failure with the following error messages: * Failed to boot ISO * Unable to Monitor HPSUM * **Security** The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2015-0204 - A remote server can supply a weak RSA temporary key for a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite to downgrade the session security. * CVE-2015-0286 - A vulnerability in ASN1_TYPE_cmp function can be exploited to launch a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by causing a crash during certificate validation operation. * CVE-2015-3144 - A vulnerability can be exploited to allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact. * CVE-2015-3153 - The default CURL configuration sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents. * CVE-2015-2922 - A vulnerability in the Linux kernel can be exploited by sending a crafted Router Advertisement message and setting a low IPV6 hop limit and in turn cause DoS (Denial of Service). * CVE-2015-1789 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted length field in ASN1_TIME data. * CVE-2015-1791 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - Onboard Administrator 4.60 provides support for the following enhancements: * **Hardware Additions** * None. * **Features Additions and Changes** * **General** * GUI, CLI, Smart components, help files, URLs, Product Names rebranded to align with HPE branding guidelines. * Enhanced information reporting of Gen9 servers booted in UEFI mode. * Support the configuration of SNMP trap agent address when non-default VLAN is enabled on OA. * Enhanced syslog to show the flooding information when VLAN configured nodes flood the management network. * **Remote Support** * Modified to connect to the HPE remote support URL. * **EFM** * Enhanced error handling mechanism in EFM for servers in UEFI boot mode. * Enhanced EFM to display detailed name for smart array controllers . * EFM enhanced to identify more devices in the EFM report. * Enhanced the status reporting of EFM operations to align with HPSUM return codes - *General** * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed. * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled . * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset. * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements. * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER. * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed. * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP". * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off". * **Security** The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via any field in crafted serialized data * CVE-2015-8605 - UDP payload length not properly checked. Addressed a vulnerability where a badly formed packet with an invalid IPv4 UDP length field can cause a DHCP server, client, or relay program to terminate abnormally. * CVE-2012-3954 - Fixed a memory leak issue in DHCPv6 daemon that could result in out of memory condition in OA. * CVE-2016-0797 and CVE-2016-0799 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that could enable security attacks by passing large amount of untrusted data to certain functions in OpenSSL. * CVE-2015-8605 - Addressed a vulnerability in IPv4 stack that can be exploited to cause a Denial Of Service via an invalid length field in a UDP IPv4 packet. * CVE-2015-3196 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that results in Denial Of Service by remote servers via a crafted ServerKeyExchange message. * CVE-2015-3195 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that can be exploited to obtain sensitive information from process memory by triggering a decoding failure in a PKCS#7 or CMS application. * CVE-2015-6564 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH that might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request. * CVE-2015-6563 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH that allows local users to conduct impersonation attacks by leveraging any SSH login access in conjunction with control of the sshd uid. * CVE-2015-5621 - Addressed a vulnerability in Net-SNMP that causes a Denial Of Service and possibly allows execution of arbitrary code via a crafted packet. * CVE-2015-5364 and CVE-2015-5366 - Addressed a vulnerability in UDP stack that can be exploited in UDP flood scenario to cause Denial Of Service in the OA. - *General** * Addressed an issue where OA "update iLO all" command fails in an enclosure with maximum Blades. * Addressed an issue where a Warning Alert was wrongly sent when a fan is reseated in an enclosure * Addressed an issue where the port mapping information for 560M Izzy adapter Mezz controller was not displayed correctly. * Addressed an issue where Remote Syslog logging would fail when OA failover happened in an IPv6 only environment. * Enhanced OA to bring the server from a power throttled state back to normal power state upon an OA reboot to circumvent an unwarranted emergency brake. * Fixed an issue where the Active and Standby OAs can have the same IP address in some rare situations. * Resolved an issue where a Gen9 server's host name gets cleared when the blade is rebooted. * Addressed an issue where server blade Power ON will be delayed in enclosures with OA Firmware Version 4.60 and managed by HPE OneView, when the OA module is reset until OneView refreshes the servers. **Security** The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2016-5387- Addressed a vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request. * CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session * CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string. * CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service. * Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow. * Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support in OA. * Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability in the post-authentication sshd process. **Issues and workarounds** **Browsers** * 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 (HP 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 HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details. - *Enhancements/New Features: ** Support for HP ProLiant BL 460c G7 server. Support for HP NC522m Dual Port Flex-10 10GbE Multifunction BL-c Adapter. Removed VCM requirement for Primary/Secondary VC Interconnect modules to be placed in I/O bays 1 and 2. Support for Brocade 804 8Gb FC hBA for HP BladeSystem c-Class.

Added support for the HP ProLiant BL2x220c G7 Server Blades. Added support for the HP NC552m 10Gb 2-port Flex-10 Ethernet Adapter. Added support for the HP NC542m Dual Port Flex-10 10GbE BL-c Adapter. Added support for the HP NC551m Dual Port FlexFabric Adapter protocol personality change between FCoE and iSCSI. Added support for full iSCSI and TCP offload with NC551m FlexFabric adapters and FlexFabric/Flex-10 modules. Added support for iSCSI boot with NC551m FlexFabric adapters and FlexFabric/Flex-10 modules. - *Important Notes: ** Read the latest version of HP Virtual Connect Release Notes. It can be found in the User Guide section, under the URL: [http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentT ype=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945 &prodSeriesId=3552695](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Docume ntIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=10 1&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695) **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue, that can result in a network outage, when a profile is created with duplicate multiple networks. Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage. Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI). Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces. Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV. Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed. Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM. **Known Issues: **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration' When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has. If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below: Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44, SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2 The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are: enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary: cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5) cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2) When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address. When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server. - *Firmware Dependency: ** OA: Minimum firmware version: 3.11 / Recommended version: 3.21 Generic firmware dependency is documented in the HP Virtual Connect Release Notes. It can be found in the 'User Guide' section, under the URL: _[http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695_](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695) **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure. Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS. Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage. Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state. Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property. Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed. Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen. Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery. Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity. Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module. Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command. Resolved an issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version information did not display correctly on the OA rack firmware page. This resolution requires OA version 3.30. Resolved an issue with VC Manager failing to retrieve configuration generation number from VC Ethernet Module. Resolved an issue where the network nativelan setting cleared after adding another network. Resolved an issue where an hpvcm_deleteManagedObjects return code error occurred when deleting a profile. Resolved an issue that delayed the startup time on an enclosure with eight Flex-10/FlexFabric modules. Resolved a performance issue where adding a single network caused an update of all configured networks. Resolved an issue where firmware details did not display on a Firefox browser window. Resolved an issue where FCoE login took longer than expected when changing between fabrics. Resolved an issue where the VCM CLI command "set enet-vlan" did not return an error for the command "set enet-vlan VlanTagControl=Tunnel SharedServerVlanId=true". Resolved an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blade issue where there were problems disconnecting Flex-10 ports with I/O modules that do not support Flex-10, which could result in disabled network ports appearing as enabled. Resolved a GUI issue where titles on the Device Bay Summary screen were not displayed consistently. Resolved an issue where an SNMP trap configuration with only FC traps selected could not have an associated set of severities. Resolved an issue where an error was not indicated for login redistribution for a degraded/failed SAN in external connections. Resolved a GUI issue for HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blades where the entries in the Server Ethernet Adapter Information table did not properly collapse and expand. Resolved an issue found in an Integrity FlexFabric environment where the HP-UX boot path was lost while unassigning and reassigning a profile. Resolved an issue for a race condition between module recovery and enclosure recovery when an enclosure was recovering from an enclosure NO-COMM condition. Resolved an issue when recovering from a module NO-COMM state where the correct module state is properly tracked to avoid unnecessary failure for LANIO calls and GenNumber requests. Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version is displayed as "Not Available" in OA, but VCM has the correct firmware version information. Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the DHCP client in the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware became corrupted, causing the FC module to stop responding to VCM, resulting in a NO-COMM state. Resolved an issue when VC modules coming out of NO-COMM state, they may not be in sync with each other, which will result in unexpected additional module failures. Resolved a restriction where customers need to put the VC domain in VCEM maintenance mode in order to get the support dump. Resolved an issue where the GUI will state that the event manager registration has expired and then the user is logged out of the GUI unexpectedly. Resolved an FC connection outage due to a failure of the Virtual Connect Flex Fabric primary module. During the Backup Module recovery, the error caused a full Virtual Connect reset and recovery which created the outage. Resolved an issue with growing memory utilization on HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet modules when Blades are in a PXE Boot loop. Resolved an issue with a small memory leak found in stpd when handling of subport MED data update notices. Resolved an issue where a VC domain will get into NO-COMM state after performing OA failover and then fail back. Resolved an issue where the Private Networks filter rules were not updated when LAG (Link Aggregation Group) membership changes. Resolved an issue where when a module recovers from NO-COMM state, the stacking links will show failed status even though there is no real operational problem. Made adjustment for the Maximum RSS memory limit for graceful VC management process shutdown. - *Firmware Dependency: ** OA: Minimum firmware version: 3.11 / Recommended version: 3.30 Generic firmware dependency is documented in the HP Virtual Connect Release Notes.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

This buffer doesn't need to be physically contiguous whereas kzalloc allocates physically contiguous memory. This was leading to memory allocation failures when physical memory is fragmented. Change: Use vzalloc to allocate virtually contiguous memory. Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Add support for VF device ID 0x8C30 Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: VF device ID 0x8C30 belongs to EP(Target Mode) VF Device. Driver did not have support for this device. Change: Add support for VF device ID 0x8C30 Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: 0x8C30 device ID based adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Add support for extended minidump feature [ER0000000135818] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Extended minidump feature allows maximum amount of iSCSI debug data to be collected under 0x1F minidump capture mask. Change: Add support for extended minidump feature on EP Devices Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: 0x8830 device ID based adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Network connectivity issues when using large number of multicast groups [ER0000000135449] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Driver keeps adding multicast addresses into the adapter filter table without purging removed MACs and worrying about adapters filter limit. This resulted in overruning the adapter's filter limit without putting device in multicast promiscuous mode. This causes traffic to fail for newly added multicast addresses after a series of addition and deletion Change: Purge stale multicast groups before adding new multicast groups Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: All OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.62.1 (HP NCDE 11.30/11.40) - ethtool command is displaying "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address [ER0000000136540] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: ethtool -P ethX command reads netdev->perm_addr. Some distro need to set that field explicitly otherwise ethtool command shows "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address Change: Set netdev->perm_addr in driver Introduced: 5.1.38 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: SLES11SP3 FW: N/A - Driver load fails with the out of box qlcnic-5.3.62 driver on SLES11SP4 Beta3 [ER0000000136233] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: SLES11SP4 Beta3 release fails to load out of box drivers.

Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - sysfs read / write operations are failing on big endian machine [ER0000000133581] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Due to endianity issues in driver, sysfs read / write operations are failing on big endian machine Change: Swap data on big endian machine before providing it to application through sysfs Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Very high Tx values in statistics. 7 Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Aggregating tx stats in adapter variable was resulting in an increase in stats even after no traffic was run and user runs ifconfig/ethtool command Change: qlcnic_update_stats used to accumulate stats in adapter struct at each function call, instead accumulate tx stats in local variable and then assign it to adapter structure. Introduced: 5.3.52 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10) - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register. Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5. In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue. Change: Set argument to four instead of five. Introduced: 5.3.61.2 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.2 - EPG back up while unload/load in a loop with ping test. [ER0000000134359] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Firmware resets EPG when argument two of destroy tx context is set to 1. Driver did not clear this argument and hence it lead to random reset of EPG. Change: Set argument two of destroy tx command to zero. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. 7 Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command. Change: So set driver version before registering netdev. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.61.1 - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded. Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures. Introduced: 5.3.61 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.60 - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate DMA buffer at the driver load time. Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver.

Introduced: 5.3.52 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10) - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register. Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5. In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue. Change: Set argument to four instead of five. Introduced: 5.3.61.2 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.2 - EPG back up while unload/load in a loop with ping test. [ER0000000134359] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Firmware resets EPG when argument two of destroy tx context is set to 1. Driver did not clear this argument and hence it lead to random reset of EPG. Change: Set argument two of destroy tx command to zero. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. 7 Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command. Change: So set driver version before registering netdev. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.61.1 - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded. Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures. Introduced: 5.3.61 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.60 - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate DMA buffer at the driver load time. Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver. Introduced: 5.2.44 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A - RHEL6.6 SRIOV: Mail box timeout command seen when disabling sriov for vlan macvtap and with ping traffic.

This buffer doesn't need to be physically contiguous whereas kzalloc allocates physically contiguous memory. This was leading to memory allocation failures when physical memory is fragmented. Change: Use vzalloc to allocate virtually contiguous memory. Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Add support for VF device ID 0x8C30 Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: VF device ID 0x8C30 belongs to EP(Target Mode) VF Device.

This resulted in overruning the adapter's filter limit without putting device in multicast promiscuous mode. This causes traffic to fail for newly added multicast addresses after a series of addition and deletion Change: Purge stale multicast groups before adding new multicast groups Introduced: Day One Impact: HW: All OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.62.1 (HP NCDE 11.30/11.40) - ethtool command is displaying "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address [ER0000000136540] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: ethtool -P ethX command reads netdev->perm_addr. Some distro need to set that field explicitly otherwise ethtool command shows "00:00:00:00:00:00" MAC Address Change: Set netdev->perm_addr in driver Introduced: 5.1.38 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: SLES11SP3 FW: N/A - Driver load fails with the out of box qlcnic-5.3.62 driver on SLES11SP4 Beta3 [ER0000000136233] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: SLES11SP4 Beta3 release fails to load out of box drivers.

Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - sysfs read / write operations are failing on big endian machine [ER0000000133581] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Due to endianity issues in driver, sysfs read / write operations are failing on big endian machine Change: Swap data on big endian machine before providing it to application through sysfs Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A - Very high Tx values in statistics. 7 Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Aggregating tx stats in adapter variable was resulting in an increase in stats even after no traffic was run and user runs ifconfig/ethtool command Change: qlcnic_update_stats used to accumulate stats in adapter struct at each function call, instead accumulate tx stats in local variable and then assign it to adapter structure. Introduced: 5.3.52 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10) - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register. Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5. In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue. Change: Set argument to four instead of five. Introduced: 5.3.61.2 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A Version 5.3.61.2 - EPG back up while unload/load in a loop with ping test. [ER0000000134359] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Firmware resets EPG when argument two of destroy tx context is set to 1. Driver did not clear this argument and hence it lead to random reset of EPG. Change: Set argument two of destroy tx command to zero. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. 7 Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command. Change: So set driver version before registering netdev. Introduced: Day one Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.61.1 - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950] Defect/Enhancement: Defect Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded. Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32(). Version 5.3.61 - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2). However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional Tx ring info data. Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures. Introduced: 5.3.61 Impact: HW: All supported adapters OS: All FW: N/A OtherSW: N/A Version 5.3.60 - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915] Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate DMA buffer at the driver load time. Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver.

This causes the driver to manage a failover scenario to use the secondary path. During that scenario, due to a flaw in the driver, the driver can get overloaded with the administrative tasks of the failover process not allowing the failover to complete. ROOT CAUSE: Device rescan operations were not properly limited. Queue depth parameters for external devices were not optimal. FIX: Tuning to limit rescans and fixed the queue depth setting for external devices.
