author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 15.10.07.00
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 15.10.07.00:**
      
        * Resolves POST error 'MPT BIOS Fault 13h'. If this error occurs, the system will not boot from any boot device attached to an HP Smart Array B320i RAID controller and will be unable to access data on drives attached to the HP Smart Array B320i RAID controller. The fault is triggered if the link between the HP Smart Array B320i RAID controller and the drives goes down during link tuning process. Updated firmware will no longer trigger this fault and the link is now allowed to re-establish itself. This issue is seen only with Solid State Drives (SSD).

        * Resolves a lockup issue during boot up on the HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server when configured with the HPE Smart Array B320i RAID controller connected to SATA SSD or HDD drives


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 15.10.09.00-2.1
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 15.10.09.00(B):**
      
        * Modified the component installer to update both the HPE Dynamic Smart Array B320i RAID Controller firmware and the H2xx HBA Option ROM firmware when the HPE Dynamic Smart Array B320i RAID Controller is enabled in the server's ROM-Based Setup Utility.  Previous versions of the component only updated the HPE B320i controller firmware which would result in customers running older H2xx HBA Option ROM firmware if the controller was switched from RAID mode to HBA mode by disabling the HPE Dynamic Smart Array B320i RAID Controller in the server's ROM-Based Setup Utility.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.5-2.1
changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1006:**
      
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF)  
      In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives
      the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be
      blocked when the port is down due to the physical link (for example: cable
      plugged out, switch port down).
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
        * Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which 10.12.0780 occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.
        * Fixed wrongly implementation of SM SL2VL configuration.
        * Fixed a DC re-connect flow which in some cases 10.12.0780 sent bad completion.
        * Fixed a DC performance issue; separated DCRs 10.12.0780 SQ from the DCI SQs.
        * Fixed an issue causing the firmware to hang 10.12.0780 when running ibdiagnet. The received DiagData  
      MAD included the following values:  
       Clear_all = 1  
       PageNum = 0  
       Port_select = 0  
      To prevent the firmware from hanging, a port check was added to Set() as well.
      
        * Hardware fatal error used to occur when running "ibdump".
        * FDR10 incorrect speed indication was reported due to the usage of a translation function from the hardware speed to the PRM speed twice.
        * Invalid data was returned by EyeOpening MAD.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware corrects the possibility of the drive becoming unresponsive and requiring a power cycle following a soft system reboot. This behavior appears as if the drive is no longer attached to the system following the system soft reboot. It is most often observed during Operating System Installation but can occur following any system soft reboot.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.
        * Linux Smart Component fails to update firmware on SATA drive connected behind a SATA HBA controller. Component reports the firmware update was successful. However, after a power cycle, the firmware version remains unchanged.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed: **
      
        * This firmware prevents a rare condition that may occur during a WRITE SAME command sequence that may result in incorrect data being written to the hard drive.  The WRITE SAME command may be used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization.
        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPD7 prevents this condition from occurring.
        * During a replacement drive rebuild process, a RAID Controller may create false errors. These false errors were improperly counted as true errors by the drive and resulted in a "SMART Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message. Firmware version HPD7 prevents the drive from counting these false errors and eliminates the unwarranted SMART "Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Fixed an issue introduced with firmware version HPD6 that may cause a Solid State Drive (SSD) to go offline and enter an unresponsive state. This condition only occurs with SSDs that have firmware version HPD6. The condition may occur during heavy sequential read operations. When the SSD is in the unresponsive state, the HP Smart Array controller will set the amber LED on the drive tray and data on the drive will not be accessible. Drives in the unresponsive state will recover, if left powered up and idle for approximately two to four hours. In addition, data loss may occur if two or more drives in an array (depending on which array type) experience this condition while one drive has not fully recovered.
        * Fixed a performance degradation when SSD's are installed on an HP D2700 Disk enclosure that is attached to an HP Smart Array P222, P421, or P822 Controller.

  -     *Problem Fixed:**
      
        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPD6 prevents this condition from occurring.
        * This firmware prevents a rare condition that may occur during a WRITE SAME command sequence that may result in incorrect data being written to the hard drive. The WRITE SAME command may be used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.40
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:  
        
         The iLO web interface has been updated to support the Hewlett Packard
      Enterprise style, URLs, and company information.  
         The Java IRC now includes two alternatives: A Java Web Start console and a
      Java applet-based console. The Java Web Start option works in newer browsers
      that do not allow the applet version to run.  
          On systems with OpenJDK, you must use the Java applet-based console with a browser (such as Firefox) that supports a Java plug-in.  
         The new Critical Temperature Remain Off setting can be configured via
      RIBCL for all nonblade servers.  This setting controls system behavior when
      the system is shut down due to thermal protection circuitry.  
          This is a different protection mechanism for thermal events, and it is not based on temperature sensor thresholds, OS policy, or the environmental abnormality automatic shutdown configuration.   
         The following service events are now supported with embedded Remote
      Support registration:  
          \- ATA Disk Drive Status Changed Event  
          \- Fibre Channel Host Controller Status Changed Event  
         The Server Reset button is now available on the Boot Order page when the
      Boot Mode is modified.  
         The NVMe Backplane PIC firmware can now be updated via iLO.  
         The logical drive label and ID were added to the RESTful API.  
         NIC auto-selection can now be configured to search both Shared Network
      Ports on servers that support this hardware configuration. This feature can be
      configured via the CLI and RIBCL.  
         NIC auto-selection can now be configured to support NIC failover. When
      enabled, iLO automatically begins searching for a NIC connection when the
      current connection fails. This  
          feature can be configured via the CLI and RIBCL.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.40
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:  
        
         NIC auto-selection can be configured via RIBCL on DL60 and DL80 servers.

changelog:
  -     This release is based on the 2.40 iLO 4 FW Release and contains all the fixes
      and enhancements included in that version.  
      
      Also included in this release:
      
        * Added a new RIBCL command "FORCE_FORMAT" that enables the recovery of the 4 GB embedded non-volatile storage (NAND Flash) if it is not available.  iLO resets automatically afterward for this operation to take effect.  If using Intelligent   Provisioning, then it will need to be reinstalled. This change is added to help in special cases that require this to fix a problem and a list of symptoms can be found below.  This is a limited release and availability is limited.  This will   be not web-released. 
          * Symptoms: 
            * 8192 Self-Test Error reported
            * Errors while applying OneView profiles
            * Can't extract Active Health System

        * Increased the steering hash tables static size from 128 to a maximum of 32K entries.
        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in 2.36.5000:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which caused packet transmission to get stuck when the software tried to send pause frames with dmac equal to one of the device's MAC addresses.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a firmware internal error when handling QP alternative context.
        * Fixed an issue which caused an internal firmware error when APM changed the QPs port mapping.
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVRAM to get stuck when it filled non-valid information in TLV.
        * Fixed an issue which caused lack of IB traffic on SR-IOV VPI.
        * Fixed a race in handling a duplicated "read request from middle".
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVCONFIG to fail when the number of sector was set to 1 and the sector was zeroed.
        * Fixed an issue which caused TX traffic to stop when the message MTU size was larger than QP.mtu.
        * MLNX_OEM command GET_TEMP returned a wrong value in the max_temp field.
        * Fixed a default hardware configuration issue which caused RDP over IPv4 traffic to be dropped.
        * Disabled High Rate Steering mode in the INI to enable its compatibility with NC-SI over VLAN.
        * Fixed failure instances when initiating FLR in the Physical Function.
        * Fixed a wrong returned status in cable info MAD when the cable was not connected.
        * Fixed the length calculation of UDP. The incorrect UDP length in the CNP packet caused miss-calculation of the ICRC.
        * Fixed a completion error issue when ECN was enabled. The ECN usage caused ordering errors in completion queues (CQ).
      
      **Fixes in 14.14.2204:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented MAC address changes by to driver to be reflected in the OBCC and NC-SI interfaces.
        * Added protection from IOPX thermal diode destabilization to prevent UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GE cards.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a link down in Port 2 when unplugging the cable from Port 1.
        * In some cases, a Bit Error Rate is not optimal on 10G/40G links.
        * Instability of Link Training Flow occurs during 100G Auto-Negotiation.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the command to hang when moved the QP to RESET and back to RTS.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * Added support for pnat = 1 in HCA access_reg command as required by the ibdiagnet tool.
        * Fixed the LLDP OCBB response: return value is now ascii.
        * Fixed a very rare NMI issue during PXE cycles.
        * Increased the steering hash tables static size from 128 to a maximum of 32K entries.
        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.30
changelog:
  -     *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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.31
changelog:
  -     *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 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.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware Dependency**
      
      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **No new issues were resolved in Version 4.31.  
        
      Problems Fixed in Version 4.30:**
      
      **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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced
      functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -      **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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     *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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -     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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -      **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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.60
changelog:
  -     *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.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
        * When running VMware ESX/ESXi, only offline updates are supported using the HP Smart Update Manager on the Firmware Maintenance CD 
      
      **Firmware Dependency:**
      
        * Updating the HP DL360G5 System ROM to revision P58 3/9/08 or higher is required in addition to updating to this HP Smart Array firmware revision for the modified shutdown sequence to ensure sufficient time for HDD head parking of internal HDDs. 
        * Updating the HP MSA 60 and/or MSA 70 firmware version to 2.16 or higher is required to enable dual domain functionality
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Added fix for a POST message indicating potential data loss due to the expiration of the battery-backed cache batteries on the HP Smart Array controller, following an abrupt primary power loss in an HP ProLiant G6/G7 server.
        * Fixed an issue that resulted in unnecessarily disabling the write cache after the battery-backed cache batteries expire following an abrupt primary power loss.
        * Fix for an incomplete or problematic data transfer issue on RAID 0 or RAID 1 volumes, which may occur under heavy I/O workloads. This issue may happen when array accelerator cache-bypassed write operations take place on a common small Logical Block Addressing (LBA) region on the drive, following multiple discontinuous non-overlapping cached writes.

        * Prior to version 0.44, a cache module charging circuit failure would result in an incorrect POST 1705 error indicating the super-cap should be replaced. This firmware now detects cache module charging circuit failures and displays a new POST 1813 error that correctly instructs the user to replace the cache module.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.98
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed: **  
      
        * Addressed a corner-case where multiple reboots of an HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch that is connected to an HP D6000 Disk Enclosure could cause the Smart Array P7xx controller to stop responding.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.38
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**  
      
        * Under rare circumstances, repeated rebooting of servers might cause loss of paths to the drives.
        * On rare occasions during server power on or hot-add/-removal of drives, the front panel Global Service Indicator (GSI) LED illuminated amber and the back panel seven-segment error display showed a value of 14. The error condition was caused by the error count not getting reset after a hot-plug event.
        * Online LED was not illuminated for configured drives.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.54
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Improved signal integrity settings to reduce the occurrence of PHY DWORD errors when using HP D6000 Disk Enclosures.
        * Resolves a Smart Array controller 0xAB lockup observed during SAS switch reboots in HP BladeSystem configurations.
        * Limits the SATA drive link rate to 3G, SAS drive link rates are still 6G.
        * Resolves SAS link errors that may occur with cascaded HP D6000 disk enclosures (limited support for cascading).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.70
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * In rare cases, the Smart Array controller would become inaccessible after multiple IO module resets were performed.  If a controller lockup occurred because of this issue, the error code 0xAB would display in the following locations after a subsequent server reboot: 
          * Server POST
          * System event log
          * ADU reports / HPSSA diagnostic reports


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.98
changelog:
  -     *Following issue is fixed in this version of firmware:**
      
      Changed the settings in the SAS Expander to support disk discovery when 12Gb
      SAS HDDs are installed in the enclosure

changelog:
  -      Controller might stop responding when drives were reporting errors (POST Lockup 0x13)
        * Controller in HBA mode might stop responding if a command to a SATA drive timed out (POST Lockup 0xAB)
        * Detection of all direct-attached physical drives might fail if a single drive did not spin up
        * A physical drive configured as a spare drive might indicate predictive failure sooner than expected
        * Erroneous Critical message displayed in ADU: "Box Failure Due To Primary Io Module"
