      **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.

changelog:
  -     *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 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.

      **Security**
      
         The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2017-8105 - Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability caused by a buffer overflow.
        * CVE-2016-10244 - Addressed a vulnerability which might allow a remote attacker to cause denial-of-service via a crafted file.

      **CAC**
      
        * In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
        * Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
        * If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
        * It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access.
      
      **Configurable SSH Port Number                                               **
      
      If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated
      to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware
      feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby
      OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is
      to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next
      boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to
      default port 22 in the Active OA.

      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors may occur on
      servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 series v2 processors and memory
      configurations where the memory speed is running at 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz.
      These errors may have resulted in the server resetting without notification of
      the error or the system resetting and displaying a "283-Memory Address/Command
      Parity Error Detected Error" and logging the event to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML). HP strongly recommends that all servers utilizing Intel
      E5-2400 v2 processors with impacted memory speeds update to this revision of

  -     Added support for the latest names for PCIe expansion devices to the ROM-Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Improved the power allocation logic for servers configured with Intel Xeon
      E5-2400 v2 series processors to more accurately determine the server's maximum
      power usage. Previous revisions of the System ROM allocated more power for
      server blades configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors than was
      necessary. With this revision of the System ROM, the enclosure may have
      additional power available to allow additional blades to be powered on with
      certain power supply configurations. This change does not impact servers
      configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed a processor issue which can result in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
      in a Windows virtual machine or Linux Kernel Panic in a Linux virtual machine
      when running on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESX 5.x on Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series v2 processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and
      could impact any system using affected processors operating with the
      conditions listed. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version
      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/12/2013 or 12/20/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      revisions other than the 11/12/2013 and 12/20/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the
      issue occurs, the NIC will not PXE boot or be identified or used by the
      operating system.

  -     Added support for the latest names for PCIe expansion devices to the ROM-Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Improved the power allocation logic for servers configured with Intel Xeon
      E5-2600 v2 series processors to more accurately determine the server's maximum
      power usage. Previous revisions of the System ROM allocated more power for
      server blades configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors than was
      necessary. With this revision of the System ROM, the enclosure may have
      additional power available to allow additional blades to be powered on with
      certain power supply configurations. This change does not impact servers
      configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors.

      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/14/2013 or 12/20/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      revisions other than the 11/14/2013 and 12/20/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the
      issue occurs, the NIC will not PXE boot or be identified or used by the
      operating system.

changelog:
  -     Added support for Collaborative Power Control.  This feature, when using an
      operating system that supports this functionality (such as Windows Server 2008
      Release 2), provides improved power management when HP Power Regulator is
      configured for HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode by allowing the operating system
      and platform firmware to work together to provide optimum control of processor
      frequency for improved power efficiency.  This functionality has no impact on
      system operation if using an operating system that does not support this
      feature or if HP Power Regulator is not configured for HP Dynamic Power
      Savings Mode.  The Collaborative Power Control selection in the Advanced Power
      Management Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) provides the
      capability to disable this feature.  Only operating systems that support the
      Processor Clocking Control (PCC) interface allow for Collaborative Power
      Control.
      
      Added support that allows a system with two USB Drive Keys attached to boot
      from the second key if the first key is not bootable.  Previous revisions of
      the System ROM would only attempt to boot one USB Drive Key.

      Updated processor microcode to the latest version released from Intel. This
      microcode addresses an Intel erratum which addresses a potential issue where
      the use of the VMASKMOV instruction to access memory mapped I/O or uncached
      memory may cause the server to stop responding or become unstable.
      
      Addressed an issue when using PXELinux to boot to the local hard drive instead
      of the network drive that can result in a Red Screen Illegal Opcode.
      
      Addressed an issue where the embedded video controller card would remain
      disabled if a stand-up video controller was installed and set as the primary
      controller and then removed.  This issue resulted in no video being displayed.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where the USB keyboard would sometimes stop
      functioning when being used in a pre-boot environment such as system boot or
      the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Addressed an issue where certain USB drive keys were returning the wrong size
      when accessed in a pre-boot environment such as system boot or the ROM-Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Addressed an issue where larger size USB Drive Keys (16GB or larger) may not
      function properly in pre-boot environments such as system boot or the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue does not affect the operation of USB
      devices under an Operating System.
      
      Addressed an issue where removing a USB hub with connected USB devices during
      pre-boot environments such as system boot or the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU) will cause the server to stop responding.
      
      Removed Memory Interleaving and Node Interleaving memory options from the ROM
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU) because they are not applicable to this server.

      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest
      OS utilizing 32-bit PAE Paging Mode. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant
      servers and could impact any system utilizing affected processors operating
      with the conditions listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains an

      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest
      OS utilizing 32-bit PAE Paging Mode. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant
      servers and could impact any system utilizing affected processors operating
      with the conditions listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains an
      updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. Due to the

      Addressed a processor issue which can result in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
      in a Windows virtual machine or Linux Kernel Panic in a Linux virtual machine
      when running on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESX 5.x on Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series v2 processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and
      could impact any system using affected processors operating with the
      conditions listed. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version
      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/12/2013 or 12/22/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      revisions other than the 11/12/2013 and 12/22/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the

      Added additional options to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Power-On Delay
      Option for delay times of 15, 30, 40 and 60 seconds (in addition to the
      previous options of No Delay and Random Delay). For these new selections to
      function, the system must be using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware
      version 1.20 or later. If the system is configured to one of the new options
      without having iLO Firmware version 1.20 or later, the Power-On Delay Option
      will function as if the No Delay option were chosen.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM's detection of valid boot devices such as USB Drive
      Keys or Hard Drives. Previously, the System ROM may have attempted to boot
      certain bootable media with invalid boot records resulting in a Non-System
      Disk error. In some cases, the System ROM will now be able to detect the
      invalid boot record and skip attempting to boot the device. This allows the
      System ROM to attempt to boot the next device in the boot order.

      Addressed an issue where the server may not be able to enter processor idle
      power states (C-states) which can increase idle power when configured with 2
      Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2Series Processors. This issue may also result in a
      reduction of the frequency of the processor entering Turbo Mode which can
      reduce performance under certain workloads.
      
      Addressed an issue where Online Spare memory Mode may not function properly
      when 10 or 12 core Intel Xeon E5-2600 Series v2 processors were installed in
      the server platform. This issue was typically exhibited as an Online Spare
      switchover not completing and not being logged into the Integrated Management
      Log (IML).
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may experience a no boot condition on the
      reset due to a fatal error. This issue is typically seen as the server hanging
      at 20% progress in the Early Video Initialization.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain memory configurations with non-HP SmartMemory
      may have been running at frequencies lower than supported by the processor.
      This issue only effects systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 Series
      Processors and non-HP Smart Memory.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2
      processors and 32 GB LRDIMMs may experience an increased rate of corrected
      memory errors or uncorrected memory errors. This issue impacts servers
      configured with 2 DIMMs per channel or 3 DIMMs per channel. Any server
      configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors using LRDIMMs should be
      updated to this revision of the System ROM or later. If experiencing memory
      errors with the indicated configuration, HP recommends updating to this
      revision of the System ROM or later before contacting HP service.
      
      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors are not
      logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) if they occur. With previous

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may not be able to enter processor idle
      power states (C-states) which can increase idle power when configured with 2
      Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2Series Processors. This issue may also result in a
      reduction of the frequency of the processor entering Turbo Mode which can
      reduce performance under certain workloads.
      
      Addressed an issue where Online Spare memory Mode may not function properly
      when 10 or 12 core Intel Xeon E5-2600 Series v2 processors were installed in
      the server platform. This issue was typically exhibited as an Online Spare
      switchover not completing and not being logged into the Integrated Management
      Log (IML).
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may experience a no boot condition on the
      reset due to a fatal error. This issue is typically seen as the server hanging
      at 20% progress in the Early Video Initialization.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain memory configurations with non-HP SmartMemory
      may have been running at frequencies lower than supported by the processor.
      This issue only effects systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 Series
      Processors and non-HP Smart Memory.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2
      processors and 32 GB LRDIMMs may experience an increased rate of corrected
      memory errors or uncorrected memory errors. This issue impacts servers
      configured with 2 DIMMs per channel or 3 DIMMs per channel. Any server
      configured with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors using LRDIMMs should be
      updated to this revision of the System ROM or later. If experiencing memory
      errors with the indicated configuration, HP recommends updating to this
      revision of the System ROM or later before contacting HP service.
      
      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors are not
      logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) if they occur. With previous
      revisions of the System ROM, these types of errors would cause the server to
      reset without any notification of the error. A "283-Memory Address/Command
      Parity Error Detected" error will now be displayed during system boot and
      logged to the IML.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not be able to boot Citrix XenServer
      6.2. This issue only impacts the 09/08/2013 and 09/18/2013 revisions of the

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPD9
changelog:
  -      **Online firmware flashing of drives attached to a Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or a ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported. Only offline firmware flashing of drives is supported for these configurations.**
        * **Online drive firmware update available for Smart Array Controllers configured in systems running supported Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware environments. All other OSes would require an offline update using the Service Pack for Proliant and Smart Update Manager.**


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPD9
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * An unexpected drive lockup could occur due to drive motor currents exceeding the normal operating limits. Firmware version HPD9 implements new drive motor current thresholds for SMART trip, which would initialize a controlled, drive spin-down operation if excessive drive motor currents are reported.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPDA
changelog:
  -     This firmware changes the response to a SMART trip for changes in the motor
      electric current so that it:
      
        * Spins down any drive that exceeds established motor current thresholds and identifies it for removal.
        * Prevents the drive from spinning up again after a power cycle in case it is not removed.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.34
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Critical issue for all UEFI systems using 2.2 TB or greater volumes configured with GPT partitions. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # [c04602001](http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04602001)
        * When a controller was set to RAID6 mode and a large number of recoverable errors were generated by hard disk drives in the system, the controller might go into a degraded mode and cease to function. A 0x0E error message would display during POST on subsequent power cycle and in the Integrated Management Log (IML)
        * The controller would report 0xE0 error to HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) and would cease to function when set to RAID 6 mode
        * Intermittent SSD SATA 6G drive failures would occur when drive was configured in Bay 1 of HP ProLiant BL465 Gen8 Server
        * Uncorrectable ECC errors would cause the controller to stop responding (Lockup 0x13).  This version of Smart Array firmware properly calculates the maximum controller memory bandwidth required to sustain streaming write operations with the current logical drive configuration and reduces the cache memory speed on configurations that do not require peak controller memory bandwidth.  When running at the slower memory speed, less power is consumed and performance degradation is expected to be negligible. For additional information, reference Customer Advisory # [c03755983](http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c03755983)
        * The HP D2220sb Storage Blade is not recognized when configuring it with the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server Blade. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # [c04602866](http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04602866)


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.64
changelog:
  -      An intermittent aborted IO request with attached SATA drives resulted in a LUN (Logical Unit Number) reset.
        * When using SATA drives with a Px2x controller, the server may stop responding or shut down after an extended period of time due to a controller lockup (POST Lockup 0xAB).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.68
changelog:
  -      HP Smart Array Px3x controller with HP SmartCache enabled on boot volume could potentially encounter file corruption when booting the system if the Super-cap is not fully charged due to being replaced or being in a power down condition for several days (Example 7 days). File corruption is less likely to occur on non-boot volumes than on boot volumes. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # [c04719000](http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04719000)
      
        * I/O may halt when the drive write cache is enabled.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 7.02
changelog:
  -      A physical drive configured as a spare drive might indicate predictive failure sooner than expected.
        * Controller might stop responding during run-time (POST Lockup 0x13).
        * When drive write-cache is enabled, protocol errors are observed.
        * After hot-plug replacement of a hard disk drive, incorrect hard disk drive firmware version and upgrade recommendation were displayed by HP Smart Storage Administrator.

      **Problems Fixed in 7.02 (B):**
      
        * Component would fail to install firmware in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HPE Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported - "Device appears more than once in tree". The firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HPE Host Bus Adapter H22x.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 8.00
