author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.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 H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and will be unable to access data on drives attached to the HP H2xx HBA. The fault is triggered if the link between the HP H2xx HBA 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).

        * 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.

  -      **Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP 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 SPP and HP SUM.****
        * **Customers who already installed firmware version HPD8 do not need to update to HPD8(B).**


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 1.57
changelog:
  -      Addressed an issue on the HP DL980 G7 server where the system incorrectly flagged a system overheat on boot.
        * Corrected an issue where iLO 3 was not reporting Uncorrectable Memory Errors to the IML in mirrored memory mode for the HP DL980 G7 server.
        * Corrected a Self-Signed certificate expiration date issue that occurred when iLO is set to the factory default settings after the year 2012. This may occur if iLO generates a new SSL self-signed certificate after January 18th, 2013.
        * Incorrect Drive status shown in the iLO 3 GUI when the HP Smart Array P410 controller is removed from the ProLiant c-Class Blade BL465c G7.
        * When iLO was configured to use a NTP server then the system RBSU date and time would be set to the iLO date and time on every reboot. Now system time will be set to NTP time only after AC power is restored to the system.
        * Addressed a possible security vulnerability in iLO 3 using Single-Sign-On. For more information see SSRT101180.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 1.61
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this firmware version:
      
        * iLO 3 1.60 has been superseded by iLO 3 1.61 to address a critical issue that could occur when updating to iLO 3 1.60 on a blade server resulting in a power-on failure or an unexpected power shutdown.
        * The iLO 3 Evaluation license might expire prematurely.
        * A possible security vulnerability related to SSRT101250 existed.
        * The Integrated Remote Console (IRC) playback video could stop responding after recording.
        * The iLO firmware replaced the server Real Time Clock (RTC) time with the iLO Network Time Protocol (NTP) time on every server reboot. The RTC is now set with the NTP time only when the server is plugged in and returns from an unpowered state.
        * The JAVA Integrated Remote console (JIRC) could not launch with HP SIM Single Sign On (SSO).
        * When importing new HP SSO certificates, a "Certificate Could Not Be Stored" error might occur. (multi-user).
        * Mismatched Power Supply entries in the Integrated Management Log (IML) were not repaired after the correct power supply was installed.
        * The Remote Console Hotkey menu now includes the Print Scrn option. Red Hat Enterprise Linux interprets this as the SysRq key.
        * The System Information > Drive Information page might display incorrect hard drive information when a second backplane is installed.

changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:  
       Addressed SSRT101886  
       An iLO kernel crash after 40 or more days of uptime under certain operating
      systems can lead to an operating system crash. When this occurs, the iLO Event
      Log records a "Power restored to iLO" event at the time of the OS crash.  
       iLO might send multiple SNMP traps that show the Smart Array battery falsely
      changing status (SNMP trap ID 11020).  
       iLO firmware updates might stay at 1% and never finish.  
       ADH ciphers are accepted in iLO 4 when AES is enabled.  
       Incorrect information is displayed on the Information > System Information >
      Network page when there are similar MAC addresses.  
       SSDP advertisements have bad signatures and iLO Federation groups don't
      display all peers.  
       Power supply sensors are not illustrated in the Temperature graph.  
       The iLO Event Log reports that a firmware update failed even though the
      firmware was updated successfully with the HP SUM Scalable Update feature.

      scripting during POST.  
       The Get_Embedded_Health.xml output displays incorrect iLO NIC information.  
       The user name is not displayed in the iLO Event Log when a Language Pack is
      uninstalled.  
       There is a discrepancy between the iLO web interface and XML scripting when
      an HP SSO record is added by DNS name.  
       The Serial Command Line Speed setting is not saved when the speed is changed
      in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       LDAP does not work after updating from iLO firmware version 1.40 to 1.50.  
       New iLO Federation groups default to the power capping value from a
      previously deleted group.  
       The Link State NIC setting is displayed on the Network General Settings page
      for BL460t servers when this setting is not supported on server blades.  
       SNMP and SNMP trap ports cannot be set without the SNMP_ACCESS tag.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the AlertMail settings are
      changed via RIBCL and CLP.  
       The power redundancy status is incorrect when a mismatched power supply is
      inserted without a power cord.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the Remote Syslog settings
      are changed via RIBCL.  
       An incorrect error message occurs when the server name is set via XML during
      POST.  
       The Asset Tag can be configured via XML when the server is off.

      message "Public Key deleted" is displayed even though there was no installed
      SSH key.  
       When the RESTful Interface Tool is used to display the system ROM version,
      the output incorrectly displays the backup system ROM version.  
       The CLI does not display the oemhp_powercap information when power capping
      is disabled.  
       Multiple incorrect "faulty/unsupported power supply" messages are recorded
      in configurations that use the HP 800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module or the
      HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.

      configure  
          the number of failed login attempts that are allowed before iLO imposes a  
          login delay. This setting can be configured on the Access Settings page.  
         iLO 4 2.20 and later allows you to install more than one language pack.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.10 and earlier--You can install one language pack at a time.  
              Installing a new language pack replaces the currently installed language  
              pack, regardless of the language pack version.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.20 and later--Language packs are not supported on servers that  
              do not have a NAND. Servers without a NAND should continue to use iLO  
              4 2.10.  
            \- iLO 4 2.20 or later requires version 2.20 or later of the iLO language  
              pack.  
            \- When you upgrade from an earlier version of iLO 4 to version 2.20 or

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2.20
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         Alertmail webpage rejects email addresses with
      [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz)  format  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when using IPMI tool.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered for a  
          group firmware update.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         LDAP authentication might fail against a properly configured OpenLDAP
      server due to  
          protocol version restrictions.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in iLO Event
      log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO event log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.

changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         When the iLO 4 firmware is updated to version 2.20, the iLO security
      settings might be  
          reset to the default values.  
         Embedded media handling was updated to reduce embedded media errors.  
         Addressed SSRT102184  
        
      The following issues are resolved in version 2.20 (replaced by 2.22):  
        
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         The Alertmail page in the iLO web interface rejects email addresses with
      the following  
          format: [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz).  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when IPMI tool is used.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered in the  
          Firmware URL box on the Group Firmware Update page.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in the iLO Event
      Log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO Event Log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.

        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **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.

  -     *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.hp.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.hp.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.hp.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.

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.hp.com> 2.2.15.0
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Resolved an issue with the HP 3Gb SAS Switch expander logic that can result in false SATA drive failures, SAS links resetting, and SAS links reporting PHY errors while running heavy IO traffic with a specific 500GB SATA drive(s) (Model GB0500EAFYL). 
        * 8x cable fix- In earlier versions of VSM (Virtual SAS Manager), if the configuration was upgraded online from a 4x connection to a high-performance 8x connection or servicing an existing 8x connection by replacing 1 of the 2 SAS cables (only applicable to MDS600 (HP StorageWorks 600 Modular Disk System)) there were possibilities of seeing false drive failures. These false drive failures would occur if and only if the hosts were online and were accessing the drives on a MDS600. With this fix, customers can upgrade their configurations from 4x to high-performance 8x connection or service an existing 8x connection (only applicable to MDS600) while the switches and hosts are online. 
        * Resolved an issue where keystrokes or mouse clicks were being lost in the VSM GUI web application. 
        * Changed the VSM-CLI reset command to delay for 10 seconds before resetting in order to prevent scripts from hanging.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2008.09.27-2
changelog:
  -     Added support for new versions of the AMD Opteron 8300-series Quad-Core
      Processor.
      
      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called Processor Core Disable.
      This option allows disabling one-half the cores on a physical processor. This
      feature may be useful for environments where all processor cores are not
      needed when using software which is licensed on a per core basis.
      
      Added the DRAM Prefetch, Hardware Prefetch training on Software Prefetch, and
      Hardware Prefetch ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) options. These options are
      all enabled by default. With certain workloads, disabling these options may
      provide improved performance. Most workloads benefit from having these options
      enabled. In most cases, prefetching data will enhance performance because the
      prefetched data is often utilized. However, with a workload where the
      prefetched data is rarely if ever used, disabling prefetching may improve
      performance because the prefetch operations utilize bus bandwidth. It is
      recommended that users not disable these options unless they have performed
      application benchmarking to verify improved performance in their environment.
      
      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called Memory Bus Speed with
      options of Auto and 533 MHz. Auto will run the memory at the maximum speed
      supported by the DIMM configuration. Selecting 533 MHz will force a maximum
      memory bus speed of 533 MHz even if the installed DIMM configuration could
      have run at 800 MHz. Running at a lower memory speed may reduce power
      consumption.
      
      Added latest marketing names for optional devices to the ROM-Based Setup
      Utility (RBSU).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2008.09.27-2
changelog:
  -     Resolved an issue where uncorrectable memory errors or correctable threshold
      memory errors may not be logged to the correct DIMM(s).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.03.11
changelog:
  -     Added an advanced option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility for selecting the
      Memory Channel Mode. This option allows configuring the system for Independent
      Channel Mode. When configured for Independent Channel Mode, the system will
      actually operate in this mode if six DIMMs or less are installed per
      processor. When operating in this mode, memory performance will be increased
      with most workloads. If configuring this option to Independent Channel Mode
      with eight DIMMs installed on one or more processors, performance will not be
      increased as the system will operate in Combined Channel Mode even though
      configured for Independent Channel Mode.
      
      Added an advanced option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility for selecting the
      HyperTransport Mode. HT3 is supported by certain AMD Opteron 8300-series
      processors and provides performance increases with some workloads for these
      processors.
      
      Added latest marketing names for optional devices to the ROM-Based Setup
      Utility (RBSU).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.03.11
changelog:
  -     Resolved an issue where the Low Power Halt State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping) option
      in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) does not properly disable this power
      management feature for AMD Opteron 8300-series processors. Previous revisions
      of the System ROM would not disable this functionality even when this option
      was configured for Disabled. This fix is not required for systems configured
      with older versions of AMD processors or if the Low Power Halt State was
      enabled (which is the default state).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.05.07
changelog:
  -     Resolved an extremely rare issue where the system may experience a hang during
      system boot (with a blank screen) when using AMD Opteron 8300-series
      processors.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.07.28
changelog:
  -     Add support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Release 2.
      
      Add support for AMD(R) Core Select technology when AMD Opteron 8400-series
      processors are installed. This ROM-Based Setup (RBSU) option allows selecting
      the number of processor cores that are enabled (from 1 to 6) per processor
      socket.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.07.28
changelog:
  -     Address an issue that can result in an increased number of memory error events
      (both correctable memory threshold errors and uncorrectable memory errors) on
      servers configured with 6 or 8 DIMMs per processor. These errors are due to an
      improper configuration of the DIMMs and do not indicate an actual problem with
      the DIMMs. This issue can be completely resolved by upgrading to this revision
      of the firmware without replacing DIMMs. This issue only affects the
      09/27/2008, 03/11/2009 and 05/07/2009 System ROM revisions. If using one of
      these ROM revisions on a system which contains 6 or 8 DIMMs per processor, it
      is highly recommended that the server be updated to this System ROM revision.
      
      Address an issue where the incorrect DIMM may be identified when a correctable
      memory threshold error or uncorrectable memory error occurs on a server with
      the Memory Channel Mode configured for Independent Channel Mode (default is
      Combined Channel Mode). This issue would result in the incorrect DIMM being
      indicated in the HP Integrated Management Log (IML) and the incorrect DIMM LED
      being illuminated. If the server is configured for Independent Channel Mode,
      it is highly recommended that the System ROM be upgraded to this revision to
      allow for proper repair actions to occur if a memory error occurs.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience performance degradation when
      using the July 2009 revision of the System ROM and AMD 8400 series processors
      when the Power Regulator option is configured for Dynamic Power Savings Mode
      (the default) or OS Control Mode and Ultra Low Power State is enabled (the
      default). This issue only affects the July 2009 revision of the System ROM and
      systems configured with the AMD 8400 series processor.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system could identify the incorrect DIMM when a
      correctable memory threshold error or uncorrectable memory error occurs when
      the Memory Channel Mode is configured for Independent Channel Mode. If
      correctable memory threshold or uncorrectable memory errors occur on a system
      when using a earlier System ROM revision than this revision, the System ROM
      should be upgraded to this revision or some other method be used to determine
      the correct DIMM which is degraded or failed before replacing the DIMM(s).
      Otherwise, the incorrect DIMM(s) may be replaced and any issues due to memory
      errors not be resolved.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO 2 TEXTCONS functionality did not work
      properly. iLO 2 TEXTCONS requires a minimum iLO 2 Firmware Revision of 1.78
      with iLO 2 Advanced Pack.

      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called Processor Core Disable.
      This option allows disabling one-half the cores on a physical processor. This
      feature may be useful for environments where all processor cores are not
      needed when using software which is licensed on a per core basis.
      
      Added the DRAM Prefetch, Hardware Prefetch training on Software Prefetch, and
      Hardware Prefetch ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) options. These options are
      all enabled by default. With certain workloads, disabling these options may
      provide improved performance. Most workloads benefit from having these options
      enabled. In most cases, prefetching data will enhance performance because the
      prefetched data is often utilized. However, with a workload where the
      prefetched data is rarely if ever used, disabling prefetching may improve
      performance because the prefetch operations utilize bus bandwidth. It is
      recommended that users not disable these options unless they have performed
      application benchmarking to verify improved performance in their environment.
      
      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called Memory Bus Speed with
      options of Auto and 533 MHz. Auto will run the memory at the maximum speed
      supported by the DIMM configuration. Selecting 533 MHz will force a maximum
      memory bus speed of 533 MHz even if the installed DIMM configuration could
      have run at 800 MHz. Running at a lower memory speed may reduce power
      consumption.

  -     Resolved an issue where uncorrectable memory errors or correctable threshold
      memory errors may not be logged to the correct DIMM(s).
      
      Resolved an issue that may result in a Blue Screen using Windows, and NMI
      kernel panic using Linux, a system hang, or application hangs when using
      certain PCI-express devices. This issue was specifically seen with Infiniband
      Mezzanine cards. This issue was introduced with the BL465c G1/BL465c G5
      v2008.05.29 revision of the System ROM.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2008.11.06
changelog:
  -     Added support for Dynamic Power Capping. Dynamic Power Capping allows
      reclaiming power and cooling capacity by safely limiting server power
      consumption using a fast-acting, hardware-based capping algorithm. Dynamic
      Power Capping requires updating the Onboard Administrator Firmware and iLO 2
      Firmware in addition to the System ROM. All required firmware must be updated
      to utilize Dynamic Power Capping.
      
      Improved memory performance when the system's Memory Channel Mode is
      configured for Independent Channel Mode. The Memory Channel Mode is defaulted
      to Independent Channel Mode and this option can be modified in the ROM-Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2009.03.12
changelog:
  -     Added an advanced option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility for selecting the
      Memory Channel Mode. This option allows configuring the system for Independent
      Channel Mode. When configured for Independent Channel Mode, the system will
      actually operate in this mode if six DIMMs or less are installed per
      processor. When operating in this mode, memory performance will be increased
      with most workloads. If configuring this option to Independent Channel Mode
      with eight DIMMs installed on one or more processors, performance will not be
      increased as the system will operate in Combined Channel Mode even though
      configured for Independent Channel Mode.
      
      Added an advanced option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility for selecting the
      HyperTransport Mode. HT3 is supported by certain AMD Opteron 2300-series
      processors and provides performance increases with some workloads for these
      processors.

changelog:
  -     Resolved an issue where the Low Power Halt State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping) option
      in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) does not properly disable this power
      management feature for AMD Opteron 2300-series processors. Previous revisions
      of the System ROM would not disable this functionality even when this option
      was configured for Disabled. This fix is not required for systems configured
      with older versions of AMD processors or if the Low Power Halt State was
      enabled (which is the default state).
      
      Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that could cause the system to
      encounter a system boot hang with a red screen.

  -     Resolved an issue where the system would reset when an uncorrectable memory
      error occurred. This prevented the System ROM from attempting to isolate the
      failing DIMM(s) and from reporting the failing component location(s) to the
      user.
      
      Resolved an issue where the System ROM could incorrectly report and log a
      correctable memory error threshold event. This could result in the system
      reporting that a DIMM is degraded when a problem does not exist.
      
      Resolved an issue where the BIOS Memory Diagnostic would hang when the system
      contains more than 256 GB of memory. This issue could be seen when executing
      the BIOS Memory Diagnostic from the HP System Maintenance Menu or when the
      diagnostic is automatically executed during POST due to a change in the
      system's memory configuration.
      
      Resolved an issue where the non-maskable interrupt (NMI) button on the system
      I/O board would not function. Pressing the button would not generate an NMI.
      This functionality is not typically utilized by customers unless using the NMI
      button for OS-level debug.

changelog:
  -     Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors.
      
      Added support for Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU).  When used with
      an operating system/hypervisor that support this functionality, IOMMU provides
      performance and security benefits. This functionality is disabled by default
      and is controlled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option.
      
      Added support for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). SR-IOV can provide
      performance benefits in virtualized environments if the Operating
      System/hypervisor and installed I/O card support SR-IOV. This functionality is
      enabled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option. It is
      disabled by default. When enabled, the System ROM will configure devices that
      support SR-IOV for use under a supported Operating System. Please consult the
      proper Operating System and Network Adapter documentation for a list of
      supported configurations.
      
      Added support for Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory modules.  This revision of
      the System ROM must be installed on the server prior to installing LRDIMMs as
      the server will not boot with previous revisions of the System ROM with these
      DIMMs installed.
      
      Added support for the HP ProLiant DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC. This
      revision of the System ROM supports ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC331i
      embedded NIC and ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC375i embedded NIC. The
      DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC is not supported with previous revisions
      of the System ROM.
      
      Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu
      that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information
      Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems
      with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating
      system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu
      that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory.  The option
      defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some
      Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available
      memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an
      Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used,
      configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to
      allow use of all installed memory.
      
      Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML).
      Certain errors that may have resulted in a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
      (Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or VMware Purple Screen of Death) or
      system reset without an IML entry will now have an IML entry indicating the
      error type.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language
      translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

      would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system
      experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may
      contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot".
      
      Resolved an issue where systems configured with 1TB or more memory would reset
      unexpectedly after running for approximately 90 hours. The unexpected reset
      would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system
      experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may
      contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot". Systems
      configured with 1TB or more memory must update to this version of the system
      BIOS.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system clock may become inaccurate by up to few
      seconds per day.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue that could result in a server reset or the inability to
      boot. Servers should be updated to this revision of the system ROM to minimize
      the potential for a system reset or the inability to boot.
      
      Resolved an issue where industry standard tools, operating systems, and HP
      utilities may report less Level 3 (L3) cache than expected.
      
      Resolved an issue that can result in significantly increased boot times and
      potentially degraded performance in an OS environment when 1 Terabyte (TB) of
      memory is installed and the One Terabyte Memory Limit option is configured to
      Enable All Memory in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue was a
      result of improperly configuring processor cache settings. This issue does not
      exist with any other memory configurations.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may halt during boot when the HPC
      Optimization Option is enabled and the Power Profile mode is set to Maximum
      Performance or Custom. The halt may occur when the Power Profile is set to
      Custom with the Minimum Processor Idle Power State set to No C-states, and the
      HP Power Regulator is set to either HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode, HP Static
      Low Power Mode, or HP Static High Performance Mode.

  -     Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option "Memory Proximity Reporting
      for I/O" that, when enabled, reports the proximity relationship between I/O
      devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can
      use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices such
      as network controllers and storage devices for improved performance. Certain
      I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if
      their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. Please

      where PXE boots fail when the PXE client is connected to a Flex10 device and
      requires a router to reach the PXE server.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience performance degradation when
      using the July 2009 revision of the System ROM and AMD 8400 series processors
      when the Power Regulator option is configured for Dynamic Power Savings Mode
      (the default) or OS Control Mode and Ultra Low Power State is enabled (the
      default). This issue only affects the July 2009 revision of the System ROM and
      systems configured with the AMD 8400 series processor.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system could identify the incorrect DIMM when a
      correctable memory threshold error or uncorrectable memory error occurs when
      the Memory Channel Mode is configured for Independent Channel Mode. If
      correctable memory threshold or uncorrectable memory errors occur on a system
      when using a earlier System ROM revision than this revision, the System ROM
      should be upgraded to this revision or some other method be used to determine
      the correct DIMM which is degraded or failed before replacing the DIMM(s).
      Otherwise, the incorrect DIMM(s) may be replaced and any issues due to memory
      errors not be resolved.

changelog:
  -     Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to allow the system to run
      memory at the highest or lowest supported voltage.  In some cases, operating
      at the highest voltage may result in higher memory frequency settings and
      improved performance.  The option "DIMM Voltage Preference" can be used to
      select between "Optimized for Performance" and "Optimized for Power".  The
      "Optimized for Power" selection will run memory at the lowest possible voltage
      and may provide power savings.
      
      Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the Stack Engine
      Prediction logic in the AMD Opteron Series 6200 processor.  The option "Stack

changelog:
  -     Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors.
      
      Added support for Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU).  When used with
      an operating system/hypervisor that support this functionality, IOMMU provides
      performance and security benefits.    This functionality is disabled by
      default and is controlled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option.
      
      Added support for Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory modules.  This revision of
      the System ROM must be installed on the server prior to installing LRDIMMs as
      the server will not boot with previous revisions of the System ROM with these
      DIMMs installed.
      
      Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu
      that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information
      Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems
      with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating
      system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu
      that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory.  The option
      defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some
      Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available
      memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an
      Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used,
      configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to
      allow use of all installed memory.

      with most workloads. If configuring this option to Independent Channel Mode
      with eight DIMMs installed on one or more processors, performance will not be
      increased as the system will operate in Combined Channel Mode even though
      configured for Independent Channel Mode.

  -     Resolved an issue where the Low Power Halt State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping) option
      in the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) does not properly disable this power
      management feature for AMD Opteron 2300-series processors. Previous revisions
      of the System ROM would not disable this functionality even when this option
      was configured for Disabled. This fix is not required for systems configured
      with older versions of AMD processors or if the Low Power Halt State was
      enabled (which is the default state).

changelog:
  -     Added support for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) option kit. This optional
      TPM module provides certain security features including working with the
      Microsoft Windows 2008 BitLocker functionality. The TPM is disabled by default
      when installed and must be enabled using the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) or
      the operating system. See operating system documentation on how to utilize the
      TPM.
      
      Added an advanced option in the ROM-Based Setup Utility for selecting the
      HyperTransport Mode. HT3 is supported by certain AMD Opteron 2300-series
      processors and provides performance increases with some workloads for these
      processors.

  -     Resolved an issue which may result in the server experiencing degraded
      performance.  This issue is intermittent and occurs on system reboot resulting
      in the processor operating at a lower frequency than expected.  This issue may
      occur when using the 04/01/2009 or 05/07/2009 revisions of the System ROM.  No
      other System ROM revisions would experience this issue.  This issue affects HP
      ProLiant DL385 G5p system. It does not affect the HP ProLiant DL385 G6 system.
      If using an HP ProLiant DL385 G5p with an affected System ROM revision, it is
      highly recommended that the System ROM be updated.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO 2 Power Graphs may show excessive power peaks
      over the configured cap value when Dynamic Power Capping is enabled.  Dynamic
      Power Capping is only supported on the G6 version of this server, and this
      issue does not occur unless Dynamic Power Capping is enabled.  Note that it is
      normal for some power peaks over the configured cap to occur which are within
      specification for HP Dynamic Power Capping and which do not affect circuit
      breaker protection.  This revision of the System ROM does not affect these
      expected occurrences.

  -     Added support for AMD(R) Core Select technology when AMD Opteron 2400-series
      processors are installed. This ROM-Based Setup (RBSU) option allows selecting
      the number of processor cores that are enabled (from 1 to 6) per processor
      socket.

      Resolved an issue where the system could experience a Red Screen Illegal Op
      Code error message during system boot after updating to the 12/17/2009
      revision of the System ROM. This issue is extremely unlikely to occur unless
      the server is using Power Management Controller Firmware Revision 2.3. Some HP
      ProLiant DL385 G5p servers shipped with Power Management Controller Firmware
      Revision 2.3. These systems should update the Power Management Controller
      Firmware irrespective of this System ROM issue. HP ProLiant DL385 G6 servers
      should have only shipped with a newer revision of the Power Management
      Controller Firmware 2.3. This issue does not exist with any other revision of
      the System ROM other than 12/17/2009. Updating the Power Management Controller
      Firmware to revision 2.9 is an alternate solution to this issue.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system could identify the incorrect DIMM when a
      correctable memory threshold error or uncorrectable memory error occurs when
      the Memory Channel Mode is configured for Independent Channel Mode.  If
      correctable memory threshold or uncorrectable memory errors occur on a system
      when using a earlier System ROM revision than this revision, the System ROM
      should be upgraded to this revision or some other method be used to determine
      the correct DIMM which is degraded or failed before replacing the DIMM(s).
      Otherwise, the incorrect DIMM(s) may be replaced and any issues due to memory
      errors not be resolved.

      some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors will result in a fatal error
      (Purple Screen of Death - PsoD) under Vmware ESX, but there will not be any
      indication of the error type (including no indication of an uncorrectable
      memory error or what DIMM has failed). The VMware ESX Server issue which
      causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3.
      
      Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in uncorrectable
      memory errors being reported. This will result in a system reset and an error
      logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). If using certain revisions of
      VMware ESX Server, this issue will result in a fatal error (Purple Screen of
      Death - PsoD). This is a result of a processor issue and is NOT an issue with
      the DIMM or the system board hardware. The processor issue is completely
      resolved by the work-around included in this revision of the System ROM. The
      issue does not occur if the Minimum Processor Idle State option in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured for No C-states.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during POST after
      switching the embedded SATA controller from embedded SATA RAID Mode to
      embedded SATA AHCI Mode.

      Resolved an issue that could result in industry standard tools not reporting
      the correct chassis serial number and asset tag information when the server
      node is installed in a DL2000 chassis.  The industry standard SMBIOS Type 3
      Record had only space values in the Serial Number and Asset Tag Number fields.

      of the System ROM.  When running with the 11/09/2011 system ROM, this error
      will be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as an Uncorrectable
      Machine Check Exception with Bank 0x00000004, Status 0xXXXXXXXX'XXXDXXXX
      (where X indicates the value does not matter).  HP recommends that users who

      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.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated
      language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU).

      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.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated
      language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU).

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue that may result in memory instability. The following
      symptoms may be observed: System hang during boot with all DIMM LEDs
      illuminated (an Integrated Management Log (IML) entry indicating an
      "Uncorrectable Memory Error (module unknown)" or "Memory Configuration Error:
      System boot halted" may or may not be logged); Uncorrectable Memory Errors
      logged to the IML and "Uncorrectable memory error detected on Processor x DIMM
      y" message displayed during boot; Correctable Memory Error Threshold events
      logged to the IML; failure of some DIMMs to initialize resulting in the system
      booting with less memory available to the operating system than expected and a
      "207-Memory Initialization Error" message displayed during boot. For instances
      where these errors occur due to this System ROM issue, the errors do not
      indicate of a problem with the server hardware or the installed DIMMs. The
      System ROM should be upgraded to this revision or later before replacing
      hardware components due to these errors. This issue is more likely to result
      in memory instability with Intel Xeon 5600-series processors than Intel Xeon
      5500-series processors and with processor and DIMM configurations that result
      in memory operating at 1333 MHz. HP requires customers update to this revision
      of the System ROM due to the potential impact of this issue.
      
      Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang
      when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is
      enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the
      System ROM must be updated to this revision.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent
      boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup
      Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if
      the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a
      CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities.

      For servers using Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, resolve an issue where an
      Uncorrectable Memory Error or Exceeded Correctable Memory Error Threshold
      Event may occur. These errors may result in events logged to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) and the System Health LED illuminating blinking amber.
      Additionally, if an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs, the system will reset
      and error messages indicating the failure will be displayed during Power On
      Self Test (POST). These errors do not indicate a problem with the memory DIMMs
      or the server system board. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers
      and is resolved by a new revision of Intel's microcode for Intel Xeon
      processor 5600 series that is implemented in this version of the System ROM.
      Intel Xeon processor 5500 series are not affected by this issue. Note: After
      completing the flash upgrade process for this revision of the System ROM, the
      server should be power cycled.

      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 10/15/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/15/2010 System ROM revisions
      have a known issue which can result in uncorrectable memory errors and

      operating frequency of the installed memory. This is supporting a newly
      defined industry standard field. Utilities to display this information may not
      yet be available.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning option
      known as QPI Bandwidth Optimization(RTID) to optimize link bandwidth settings
      for 2-Socket Intel Xeon 5600 series processors. These settings (also known as
      RTIDs) allow the user to balance bandwidth allocated between processors,
      memory, and I/O. While the balanced option (default) is recommended for the
      majority of customers, some benchmarks and workloads may show improved
      performance using different settings that allow optimization for memory
      streaming or I/O streaming. Customers that deploy I/O intensive applications
      such as seen with multiple GPUs, might see an improvement in GPU processing
      throughput when using the Optimized for I/O setting. This option is not
      available for systems utilizing Intel Xeon 5500-series processors.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Online Spare (OLS) Advanced Memory Protection Mode
      does not function properly when a system contains six 32 GB DIMMs on any
      processor (two 32 GB DIMMs per channel for all 3 channels on the processor).
      When Online Spare Mode is enabled for a system with six 32 GB DIMMs on a
      processor, the system will NOT be protected by the spare memory and one
      channel of memory per processor in this configuration will not be available to
      the operating system. The system will indicate it is in Advanced ECC mode
      during system boot, but not all installed memory will be available to the
      operating system as would normally occur in Advanced ECC Mode. Customers
      configuring their system for Online Spare Mode with six 32 GB DIMMs per
      installed processor should update their System ROM. Note: Because 32 GB DIMMs
      are quad-rank, six 32 GB DIMMs per processor is the maximum supported.
      
      Resolved a very rare issue where the system may either hang during system boot
      or boot with configuration options set incorrectly when non-volatile storage
      becomes corrupt. This is normally seen as the system hanging during system
      boot without anything displayed to video. Once the system gets into this
      state, the maintenance jumper can be utilized to recover operation of the
      system and restore configuration defaults. This revision of the System ROM
      will restore configuration defaults when non-volatile storage becomes corrupt.
      
      Improved the logging of Smart Array Accelerator Battery and Smart Array
      Accelerator Super-Cap information in the Integrated Management Log (IML) to
      clearly indicate what actions a customer should take when the battery or
      super-cap is not installed, requires replacement, or is charging.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO TEXTCONs feature would not function properly
      with the latest Linux kernels, including RHEL 6 and SLES 11 SP1. The issue is
      usually seen as TEXTCONs data no longer being received once the operating
      system has loaded.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may not be able to install an operating
      system to an iSCSI-based storage solution when using the local optical drive.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system would not boot from iLO Virtual USB devices
      when configured with multiple local USB devices. This issue is usually seen as
      a failure to boot an iLO Virtual Medial USB key when 2 or more USB keys are
      installed locally in the server. iLO Virtual Devices will now always have
      priority over local USB devices.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience a Windows Blue Screen
      (BSOD), Linux kernel panic, VMware ESX Server Purple Screen of Death (PSoD),
      or unexpected reset when configured with an HP NC382T Network controller in
      PCI-E slot 6. In addition, this ROM update adds a new ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU) Advanced option that allows the user to configure the PCI-Express speed
      for Slot 6 independently from other slots in the system. Users with devices
      installed in PCI-E slot 6 and are experiencing unexplained system resets or
      crashes should use this new option to limit the speed of PCI-E Slot 6 to
      Generation 1 to determine if this addresses the issue.

  -     Enhanced HP's Memory Pre-failure Alert support with HP Advanced Memory Error
      Detection Technology. This innovation analyzes multiple parameters of
      correctable memory error events and intelligently detects when the system is
      at an increased probability of non-recoverable memory conditions that would
      result in unplanned downtime or when correctable memory errors may degrade
      system performance. HP Advanced Memory Error Detection Technology will
      increase server uptime by accurately determining when a server administrator
      should schedule planned maintenance to replace DIMMs preventing unnecessary
      planned downtime and reducing the probability of unplanned downtime.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM flash update process to improve the reliability of
      System ROM updates and decrease the probability of unintended corruption of
      the flash part. Note: As enhancing the flash upgrade process requires
      modifications to both the System ROM and the flash update utility, the System
      ROM revision cannot be downgraded with the flash components available on the
      HP Support site after updating to this revision of the System ROM. A customer
      can downgrade the System ROM by creating a new flash component with the older
      System ROM revision as indicated in Advisory C02838375 available at the
      following link: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?
      locale=en_US&objectID;=c02838375

      operating system stops responding, unexpected system reset, Blue Screen when
      using a Microsoft Windows operating system, kernel panic when using a Linux
      operating system, or Purple Screen when using VMware ESX. A message may be
      displayed by the operating system or logged in the HP Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when this issue occurs indicating an "Uncorrectable Machine Check
      Exception." However, there are instances where the system resets before the
      operating system displays an error message and instances where the IML
      contains no log entry when this issue occurs. This issue does not occur if the
      Minimum Processor Idle State is configured for No C-states or C1E-state. The
      system is susceptible to this issue in the default Minimum Processor Idle
      State configuration.
      
      Resolved an issue where PCI-Express Gen 3 option cards would run at PCI-
      Express Gen 1 speeds rather than the appropriate behavior of running at PCI-
      Express Gen 2 speeds. This server supports a maximum PCI-Express speed of Gen
      2.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system did not properly modify the processor's
      power state (P-state) based on workload when the system is configured with
      Intel Xeon 5687 processors and the HP Power Regulator Mode is configured to OS
      Control Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The processor would always
      run in its maximum power/performance state rather than modifying the power
      state based on the workload.

      by default (and are always enabled on previous revisions of the System ROM
      when using Intel 5600-series Xeon processors). While these options should
      remain enabled in most environments for optimum performance, in some high CPU-

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during the subsequent
      boot after changing the Processor Core Disable option in the ROM Based Setup
      Utility or via the SmartStart Scripting Toolkit. This issue is only seen if
      the system is warm reset via the iLO power management interface or from a
      CTRL-ALT-DEL instead of properly exiting the configuration utilities.
      
      Resolved an issue where a VT-d aware Operating System may experience a hang
      when the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for VT-d is enabled (it is
      enabled by default). If using Intel VT-d support with the Xen hypervisor, the
      System ROM must be updated to this revision.
      
      Resolved an issue that resulted in Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 logging
      warning messages into the system event log pertaining to the processor's
      frequency being limited by firmware, or unexpected performance results. Prior
      to this workaround, the System Firmware was incorrectly mapping the
      Collaborate Power Control interface for a subset of installed processors. The
      issue could be observed with one and two socket Intel 5500 series XEON
      processor and two socket Intel 5600 series XEON configurations. As of the date
      of this release, only Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 installations with the
      default setting for Collaborative Power Control being left enabled, are
      affected.
