changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Fixes a data integrity risk which could occur during 4k or greater unaligned writes while the device incurs a smart trip or smart warning event. During these conditions there is a potential for data intended to be written directly to disk to fail to be written.


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.
      These servers do not support the iLO Dedicated Network Port or NIC auto-
      selection.  
         There is no POST error after one or more fans are removed.  
         iLO does not collect and delete out of date or unused BIOS provider
      schemas and registries.  
         The iLO 4 web server might stop responding after an invalid file is
      submitted on the firmware update page.  
         When system throttling occurs on Gen8 servers, the duration is longer than
      necessary.  
         Cookies set by older versions of iLO were not understood correctly and
      might cause problems when you try to select iLO Federation groups.  
         The chassis firmware version number is not displayed consistently in the
      web interface.  
         Sorting by column does not work in some iLO web interface tables.  
         The language icon at the bottom of the browser window is not displayed in
      Internet Explorer.  
         The domain name cannot be set via the CLP when the Shared Network Port is
      enabled.  
         A drive failure does not trigger an action when IPMI PEF is enabled.  
         The json/power_alert API returns an incorrect error (HTTP error 500) for
      bad parameters.  
         The wrong iLO self-test name "UnknownSelfTest" is displayed for the NVRAM
      space test in Redfish output.  
         The UID Indicator status does not change to BLINK when the Integrated
      Remote Console is active.  
         Kerberos authentication cannot be enabled when FIPS mode is enabled.  
         Keystrokes are repeated in the Integrated Remote Console when the server
      is in the UEFI Shell.  
         Data is not displayed in the power meter 20 minute or 24 hour graph.  
         The License page does not refresh to update the status after an iLO
      Advanced license is installed.  
         Redfish output does not group the Average, Minimum, and Peak values
      together in the Fast Power Meter output.  
         The NIC Information page displays the address 0.0.0.0 when the IPv6
      address is the only IP address available for the iLO NIC.  
         Duplicate entries for network cards are displayed on the Device Inventory
      page.  
         Redfish output displays an incorrect memory type for non-HPE memory.  
         The NIC Information page displays the value N/A when a NIC team is
      configured.  
         An incorrect error message is displayed for the TESTTRAP command after
      SNMP alerts are disabled.  
         Power consumption values are incorrect in Redfish
      Chassis/1/Power/FastPowerMeter/ output.  
         Power supply bay numbering is inconsistent between the web interface and
      RESTful API output.  
         If an SNMP test alert is sent when SNMPv1 traps are disabled and SNMPv3
      users are not defined, iLO reports a successful test when an error should be
      displayed.  
         An event log message is not logged when an SSL certificate is imported via
      the RESTful API.  
         A password that contains the equals sign (=) cannot be set when a user is
      added by using the CLI.  
         The value null is displayed for all RESTful API NetworkAdapters packet
      statistics.  
         The RESTful API schema file does not include the supported values for
      SpeedMbps.  
         An infinite loop in the file system check utility causes slow system
      performance.  
         DL580 Gen9 servers might fail to boot from an SD card.  
         The 53-Sensor LOM is displayed as missing on the Temperatures page for
      DL580 Gen8 servers.  
         After a vulnerability scan, iLO 4 might be left doing ACK flood with the
      scanner software.  
         iLO 4 might become unresponsive when attempting to delete an old AHS file
      with an invalid character in its name.  
         AlertMail rejects email addresses with hyphen characters.  
         Only one LDAP server can be configured by using RIBCL.  
         Insight Remote Support is not alerted if a failed hard drive is on a bay
      number above 18.

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
            * Intelligent Provisioning doesn't load when F10 is pressed


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.44
changelog:
  -     Enhancements:  
       Performance improvements - fewer SMIs.  
       Enhanced MCTP, PMCI and I2C code used to gather information.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.44
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:
      
        * Gen 8 systems no longer include unnecessary wait for MCTP device discovery in order to initialize sensors.
        * Fixed issue where intermittently the IPMI SDRR initialization would take up to 120 seconds.
        * Added iLO event log entry for IPMI PEF actions.
        * Enhanced disk drive status to include controller failure status.
        * Addressed an issue where a Smart Array battery failure could trigger excessive SMI interrupts when NVDIMMs are not present in the system. This could cause a server hang.
        * Auto Power On not working on SL/XL servers.
        * Fixed iLO 4 in Gen9 erasing ServerName EV in non-Virtual Connect environments. This caused them to show as "host is unnamed" in the Onboard Administrator GUI.
        * Fixed iLO 4 SNMP returning wrong IP address when snmpbulkget was used.
        * Fixed Remote Support 'Data Package Validation failed' error message.
        * Unable to remove Active Directory Groups via RIBCL.
        * Fixed RIS data storage file path validation and recovery.
        * Fixed unnecessary clearing of the RESTful API as a result of BIOS upgrade/downgrade.
        * Fixed setting of SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT bootorder for systems with a long boot order list.
        * Fixed support for systems with much larger overall SMBIOS records.
        * Fixed HP RESTful tool errors. BIOS registration could produce empty entries.
        * Fixed loss of communication with Onboard Administrator.
        * Removed font download from external source at login.
        * Fixed problems associated with Apollo 4200 with 25 drives. Needed to support more internal platform definitions.
        * Security fixes/enhancements: 
          * Modified "Enforce AES/3DES Encryption" setting to only allow TLS 1.2 protocol.
          * Security fix. See HP Security Bulletin HPSBHF03441.

changelog:
  -     Note for ESXi users: If you are booted from the Embedded SD Card, it is
      strongly  
      Recommended that you reboot the server immediately after updating to iLO 4
      v2.50.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
      
        * Implemented Garbage collection on the RESTful API allowing for automatic recovery in the case of bad or missing data.
        * Updates to the enclosure connection status (CPQSTSYS cpqSsBoxConnectionStatus) now correctly report when an enclosure is disconnected or reconnected, and sends trap cpqSsConnectionStatusChange where appropriate.
        * This version adds protection to the lifespan of the embedded 4GB non-volatile storage (NAND) by implementing a daily write count limit that is well above the normal daily activity.  This ensures a runaway process will not inadvertently write to the NAND excessively leading to eventual failure.
        * Changed the default SSL certificate signing to SHA-256.
        * Added support for IP addresses in the SubjectAltName field of the iLO SSL certificate.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
        * Dynamic Power Capping still works when set to disabled.
        * Server may shut down after repeated insertion and removal of hot-plug power input modules for RPS backplanes. 
        * Repeated LDAP tests cause iLO LDAP User Authentication to fail.
        * The reporting of location discovery services data via the RESTful API on ML/DL servers failed even with iLO Advanced license installed.
        * Rare memory leak that could lead to slow or failed iLO interfaces due to unverified data returns from unregistered providers.
        * Corrected the link on the direct connect registration page to point to [www.hpe.com/support/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc) instead of [www.hpe.com/services/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/services/hpesc).
        * OA communication issue after OneView SPP update.
        * Status of pure Fibre Channel cards show up as Unknown in Network Tab of iLO System Information.
        * External Rest Providers removed after upgrading BIOS, booting, and then resetting iLO.
        * Rarely a GET to the SNMP MIB will fail.
        * Rarely updates using HPSUT fail.
        * iLOs won't join Federation group or respond to SSDP requests if DHCPv4 is configured but an IP address is not obtained at iLO boot time.
        * Prev/Next links and list behavior of iLO federation are not consistent.
        * Security fixes/enhancements: 
          * Improved AlertMail message body encoding.
          * CBC Mode ciphers disabled in FIPS/AES Modes (both Webserver and SSH).
          * RC4 has been removed from the default cipher list.
          * 3DES and SHA-1 are disabled in FIPS mode.

         OpenSSL 1.0.1u FIPS  
         PSRT 301  
         CSRs no longer include the iLO IP address by default. To include the iLO
      IP address in the CSR, enable  
          the include iLO IP Address(es) option in the iLO web interface.  
         Added an iLO RESTful API option to include the iLO IP address in SSL
      certificate CSRs.  
         AlertMail formatting improvements.
