        * Fixed a race between 2 iriscs which caused a QP to get stuck in burst control limit state.
        * When a QP was in error state, the firmware generated too many err CQEs at once, thus causing the cmdif responsiveness to be too slow. To prevent the above, the number of err CQEs was limited to 16 at a time.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the MAC address that was set from the OS using ifconfig to be not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
        * Fixed an issue where the ibdump got broken when running with loopback traffic.

        * Fixed an issue causing the sensing result to be delayed when cable was unplugged.
        * Fixed an issue causing the link type to be displayed as ETH when set to AUTO.
        * Fixed an issue causing ARP not to reply when connected to Hyper-V vSwitch.
      
      **Fixes in 14.18.2030****:**
      
        * On rare occasions during UEFI boot cycles system got stuck while WinPE is loaded. (OS WinPE, system DL160).
        * Single FTE that catches both untagged and prio-tagged packets (by giving an FTE with match_value.vlan_tag = 0 and match_value.vid = 0) is currently not supported.
        * Flashing the firmware requires server reboot. Firmware cannot be flashed twice without server reboot after first flashing
        * If the vport state is DOWN and a packet is sent in local loopback, the sx_sniffer tool will not function.
        * Fixed an issue causing bubbles to appear as symbol errors when link raised FDR 1x.
        * When Clause 74 Fire-Code FEC is active, and there are FC corrected errors, both the FC_correctable counter and the FC_uncoreectable counter are increment.
        * Some Port Control Register do not return to the default value after the last port owner host restarts the driver.
        * Fixed an issue which caused RX to hang when the UDP packet had a reserved UDP destination port.
        * Fixed DMAC reporting mapping per host.
        * Fixed an EEH error from PCI which caused firmware to hang.
        * Fixed the default value of the PCIe target_link_speed to Gen3 in link control2.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented LEDs from blinking when the traffic was less than 0.1% of the link speed.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the mlxconfig configuration of VF_LOG_BAR_SIZE to be ignored and to be set to 5 (32MB).
        * A server getting into a Standby mode while Packet-Pacing is enabled might cause firmware to hang and driver call-trace.
        * Fixed an issue which caused unexpected QoS functionality in case of multiple sources to single destination traffic transmission.
        * Fixed an issue which occasionally caused the RX traffic to hang in DC when received a PCI error on WQE fetch.
        * Fixed OOB connection issue during Intel's ITP inject errors test.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented MAC address changes by to driver to be reflected in the OBCC and NC-SI interfaces.
        * Added protection from IOPX thermal diode destabilization to prevent UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GE cards.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a link down in Port 2 when unplugging the cable from Port 1.
        * In some cases, a Bit Error Rate is not optimal on 10G/40G links.
        * Instability of Link Training Flow occurs during 100G Auto-Negotiation.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the command to hang when moved the QP to RESET and back to RTS.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * Added support for pnat = 1 in HCA access_reg command as required by the ibdiagnet tool.
        * Fixed the LLDP OCBB response: return value is now ascii.
        * Fixed a very rare NMI issue during PXE cycles.
        * Increased the steering hash tables static size from 128 to a maximum of 32K entries.
        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.
        * Fixed a UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GbE OCP card.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented Vport counters from counting local loopback packets. Packets now are filter by the self-loopback prevention.
        * Reported INTx as unsupported to allow PFs Passthrough on PowerKVM.
        * SR-IOV Ethernet supports up to 18 VFs per port only.
        * Fixed and incident what allowed local (internal) loopbacked packets to be counted by the Vport counters, although Vport counters should count only traffic that crosses the Vport.
        * Fixed an issue preventing driver loading or TX traffic sending upon reboot, after ungraceful driver unload.
        * Fixed casting of BMC MAC before steering API.
        * Fixed the PCI write flow to take into consideration the PCI MTU. This fix eliminates the need for NOPs in the flow, which resulted from PPC larger PCI MTU.  
      The single queue limitation for READ is due to a hardware limitation of the
      number of READ request in a given time.
      
        * Fixed a case that caused FlexBoot to not work as expected with systems that run with "large bar" enabled (Above 4G Decoding) over Connect-IB or ConnectX-4 HCAs.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented link creation when connected to IXIA 25G.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.6
changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 2.42.5000:**
      
        * The PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a system Time Out on the configuration cycle of the VFs when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than  
      16 msec.
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the server to hang and result in NMI when running "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
        * Fixed an issue in flow_steering where BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
        * Fixed an issue while closing the HCA, where RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
        * Fixed an issue where the masterSM LID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented ibdump from capturing all MADs packets.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented the link to go up after reboot.
        * Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
        * Fixed an issue that caused NC-SI not to work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 14.21.2800:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused QP connection timeout due to firmware not being able to handle duplicate packets with AckReq bit set. The fix stopped ignoring duplicate AckReq packets to avoid timeout on the sender side.
        * MPFS load balance (DUP_MAC_ACTION==LOAD_BALANCE(1)) is not working as long as IB_ROUTING_MODE/SRIOV_IB_ROUTING_MODE is configured to LID.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a SX engine deadlock (the SX engine handles software port/priority changes for a specific Send Queue) when more than a single SX engine handled the "prio diff" flow simultaneously, thus caused the hardware to get stuck.  
      The issue happened as the firmware releases the SX engine and waits for
      various operation to complete. However, due to a race that allows a different
      transaction to get into the SX engine and cause the lock to be taken by it,
      the SX engine release is prevented.
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the system to hang while changing QPTS/QPDPM/QPDP parameters during traffic.
        * Fixed unfairness between senders in RoCE LAG while ECN is configured.
        * Fixed an issue which displayed diagnostic counters only on the adapter that was initialized first, which is the counters' owner. The owner received correct values, while the other adapter only received zeros.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the rdma_cm traffic to fail on the 2nd port when more than 32 VFs were configured, when the RoCE Dual Port vHCA (a.k.a Multi-Port vHCA: MPV) feature was enabled.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 2.42.5000 :**
      
        * The PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it..
        * System Time Out on the configuration cycle of the VFs when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
        * The server hung and resulted in NMI (Non-maskable interrupt) when run-ning "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a differ-ent thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error. 
        * In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
        * While closing the HCA (Host Channel Adapters), RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
        * The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
        * ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
        * Link could not go up after reboot.
        * A rare issue caused the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions. 
        * NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) did not work when adding the disable_stat-ic_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 14.22.1414 :**
      
        * A temperature normalization function calculation issue. Now the cable gain that is not pure integer is taken into account was fixed.
        * An issue related to the parser of object 0x8 in ASN that caused different structure in response was fixed.
        * Added the option to avoid unintentionally powering off the backplane port cage upon reboot when in standby mode.
        * An issue that caused the driver to return a wrong logical OR of the 2 physical ports, when querying the vport state when the LAG was enabled wre fixed.
        * Increased the Full Wire Speed (FWS) threshold value to improve EDR link results.
        * An issue that resulted in "Destroy LAG" command failure if a VFs received an FLR while its affinity QPs were open.
        * When RoCE Dual Port mode is enabled, tcpdump is not functional on the 2nd port.

        * The "destroy mkey " command was getting stuck when rebooting the hypervisor.
        * The total firmware reset time is increased by 1 second.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 16.26.1040:**
      
        * On rare occasions, when firmware coalesce Host stuck events occur, a async event might be delayed to be reported, and not be triggered until the next time the PCIe hangs on one of the hosts.
        * Unexpected queue pairs transitioned to error in lossy tests.
        * Limited the maximum amount of dumps created on a PF.
        * Renamed the GMP Mellanox Vendor Specific External Capability mask enum from IsDiagnosticCountersSupported to IsDiagnosticDataSupported.
        * Stability issues with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) retransmissions under stress were affecting Zero-Touch-RoCE.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a function to misbehave when a PCIe Transaction Layer Packet (TLP) was set with a poisoned indication.
        * Large number of packets dropped when running Jumbo frames with TTL rewrite.
        * Limited the number of the elements in the Quality of Service (QoS) tree 2K.  
      Note: Creating more than 250 Vport_tc for every TC is not allowed.

        * Enabled the option to prevent clock and capture complex programmable logic device (CPLD general-purpose input/output (GPIO)s glitch upon firmware reset.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 16.26.4012:**
      
        * Fixed a rare issue that caused the device to hang when encountering Remote Direct Memory Access (_RDMA_) read operations with very short retry time. In this case, the driver failed to load due to wait_fw_init (mlx5_load_one failed with error code -16).
        * Increased the bandwidth for RoCE scenarios using a specific Quantum Private Network (QPN).
        * Enabled lower granularity of rate for Congestion Control.
        * Set the min_time_between_cnps default value as 2.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented the meter counter from being cleared after the flow meter being updated. In this case, the Information rate took up to 10 minutes to take effect.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a unequal cost multipath when device set the lag_tx_port_affinity of the Queue Pair(QP).
        * Fixed a performance degradation issue that occurred when the flow group match criteria includes both IPV6 and IP_ECN.
        * Fixed a low performance issue that occurred occasionally when ran firmware steering with high insertion rate during "adding and removing" low table entries.
        * When working with Multi-GVMI and SR-IOV, and with a high number of Virtual Functions and sub-functions, the driver start may fail for the VFs/sub-functions.
        * Fixed a performance issue that occurred when ran numerous VMs with NIC Steering rules.
        * sw_reset action fails in case it was initiated during live-patch flow.
        * SX_RDMA was not supported when Dual Port RoCE feature is enabled. Due to this behavior, packets sent on other port are be processed by the SX_RDMA table.

      **New features and changes in version 14.27.1016 and 16.27.1016:**
      
        * RoCE Selective Repeat : This feature introduces a new QP (Queue Pair) retransmission mode in RoCE: recovery from packet drop by resending the dropped packet and not only all the PSN window (Go-Back-N protocol),  
      This new capability comes with the following limitations:
      
          * Selective repeat cannot be used with AR.
          * Does not work with signature (T10-DIF).
          * Does not work with Tag Matching enabled.
        * Allows BMC (Board Management Control) to query and control NIC over RedFish API. Currently, the NIC supports reading data and setting basic Ethernet and InfiniBand parameters.
        * Enables matching of source_vhca_port in the FDB also known as FIB ( Forwarding Information Base) flow for ECMP (Equal Cost Multi Pathing) hardware offload on a single FDB.
        * Firmware can be now updated as well as DB strings while performing Live Firmware Patch.
        * Added support for dumping hardware steering entries (raw data) using the resource dump API.
        * The eth_link_down_counter now counts logical link downs as well.
      
      **New features and changes in version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Removed power consumption limitation.This new capability removes the necessity to disable the port due to insufficient power. When this feature is enabled, an event will be sent on every transition between the following power states: 
          * Power limit is not advertised.
          * Sufficient power detected.
          * Insufficient power detected.
        * Enables the device to generate events that will notify the user about any resource dumps updates. The resource dump owner (PF/ECPF) will be notified on the VF command failures by events that will contain the needed information to call the resource_dump command. The device will dump the resource in the standard resource dump sequence.
        * Added support for RSS (Really Simple Syndication) based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets and for relaxed ordering read when using the create_mkey flag.

        * The sent packet hung while the device entered FLR mode.
        * Enabled Bar configuration bytewise by applying the write_en bitmask.
        * The device hung while running the sw reset flow under heavy stress and with many open resources.
        * The completions (CQ)completed due to a race condition in the firmware transport error handlers, and the error stressors, where the error stressors would hang the firmware transport error handler flow. 
        * The fragmented IP packets were dropped.
      
      **Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 16.27.2008:**
      
        * Although the effective BER (after FEC) was expected to meet the design targets (e.g. 10e-14 or lower), occasionally it was higher.
        * High BER occured when connecting cables of type 0.5/1m DAC to an HDR speed.
        * The PCIe Tx parameters did not load correctly when the speed was changed after the PCIe link was disabled.
        * The desched_threshold field did not work properly.
        * The "roce_adp_retrans" counter was presenting the values of the "local_ack_timeout_err" counter.
        * If Relaxed Ordering was disabled by running the "setpci" command, it would not be functional even after re-enabling it by running the "setpci" command again.

        * NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
        * Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
        * Added support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) via the UEFI HII system settings.  
      **Note:** Values set in this option only take effect when is Ethernet mode.
        * Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
        * Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different number of MSIX  
      vectors per physical PCI functions.  
      To use this feature, please follow these steps:
      
          * Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
          * Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX configuration.
          * Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
        * Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect when the AR is enabled.
        * A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.  
      Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the
      MANAGE_PAGES commands to the firmare.
      
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  
      the DQPN.

        * Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect when the AR is enabled.
        * A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
        * When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.  
      Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the
      MANAGE_PAGES commands to the firmare.
      
        * Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
        * Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2 QPs.
        * RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB receive queues according to the DLID and  
      the DQPN.

  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 2.42.5044 :**
      
        * An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.

        * PLDM AEN event receiver media was changed unexpectedly and destination BDF was overridden with garbage when some PLDM packet were received from the SMBus layer.
        * Bad configuration of number of VFs and SFs led to the consumption of too many functions and triggered a FW assert 0x888E. The reduction flows behavior was fixed to ensure the configuration does not exceed the total number of supported functions. 
        * InfiniBand L2 QP could not receive RDMA traffic occasionally.
        * Running with a debug firmware reduced security as if token was applied.

        * A race condition that occured between the duplicate read and QP commands (2RST, 2ERR and Destroy) in the signature that caused the command to hang.
        * When all traffic applications sharing the same combination of <function, priority, side> were rate limited (for example by congestion control), this limit was enforced on other applications with different combinations of <function, priority, side> under the same VL. For example, requestor flows (RDMA-write) were limited to rate X, however, this rate was also enforced on a QP sending RDMA-read responses. This firmware version prevents rate limit enforcement on traffic applications which should not be limited.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in component version 1.0.20(B):**
      
        * Transaction test error was reported while deploying the component using SPP from HPE Linux SDR.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 2.42.5044 :**
      
        * An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.35.3006:**
      
        * Packet loss that occurred when restarting the transmit. 
        * An issue that prevented RoCE malformed packets (UDP packet with dest_port equal to RoCE well known udp_dport (0x4791)) from being counted on the vport_counter when the function disables RoCE (through MODIFY_NIC_VPORT_CONTEXT command).
        * A memory leakage that occurred when closing connected QPs (Type RC/UC/XRC/DC).
        * Added a missing VLAN strip.

        * Added support for blocking unwanted GMP classes by dedicated MADs.
        * Added a new NvConfig parameter LOG_MAX_QUEUE to set the maximum number of work queue resources (QP, RQ, SQ...) that can be created per function. The default value is 2^17.
        * Added a Congestion Control Key to all Congestion Control MADs to authenticate that they are originated from a trusted source.
        * Added an SMP firewall to block the option of sending SMPs (MADS sent on QP0 from the Subnet Manager) from unauthorized hosts to prevent fake SMPs from being recognized as the SM.
        * Vendor Specific MADs Class 0x9 is no longer supported by the firmware. In case the firmware detects such MAD, the firmware will return a "NOT SUPPORTED" error to the user.
        * Blocked the VF's ability to use both padding and signature in order to prevent the NIC from getting into an unresponsive state.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its rate limit.
        * Performance improvements in the DCT with AR flow by exposing a hint to the software in DCI software context that indicates that RDMA WRITE on this DCI is not supported.
        * Added support for dynamic timeout mechanism when in InfiniBand mode.
        * Added support for QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit perhost per-port.

        * Enabled the exposure of new ICM resource to the software steering for VXLAN encapsulation expansion.
        * Limited the external loopback speed to the used module's capabilities.
        * Improved linkup time when using the fast linkup capability.
        * Disabled VST on dual port adapter cards when one port is configured as ETH and the other as IB as VST is not available when the port is set as ETH.
        * Added support for DSFP AOC (CMIS) v4 when error code is not reported by the module.

        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The link status was reported incorrectly and consequently caused the link to go down due to incorrect definition of the RX_LOS polarity in the INI.
        * The system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Invalid RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * A fatal assert 0x81C5 occurred when calling get_vport_mad from the MAD APIs. The firmware was trying to compute the number of vPorts using a global function number. To avoid this issue, the API was updated to remove any assumption on the function number. Note: This issue is affects only IB devices.
        * During events, stress caused the firmware to reset the Arm host of the vPort without sending an event. Thus preventing the software from rearming the vPort as it did not receive any event, and the firmware did not send the event because the vPort had no Arm set.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.
        * PCIe lane margining capability issues.
        * An issue related to the sl2vl mad that caused a few msec hiccup in the transmission on an InfiniBand network when the SM sent the sl2vl mad to a node in the cluster.

        * 872725-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 1-port 841QSFP28 Adapter)
      
      
      
      **New features and changes included in version 12.28.2006:**
      
        * Increased the maximum XRQ number to 512.
      
      **New features and changes included in version 16.33.1048:**
      
        * Added pci_rescan_needed field to the MFRL access register to indicate whether a PCI rescan is needed based on the NV configurations issued by the software.  
      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter.
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

          * Raised the link only with phase greater than 15 ticks to improve signal integrity.
          * Extended measurement test between two similar RX configurations.
          * Moved the data path to use the second input buffer to improve signal integrity.
        * RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Dual Port Mode enables the usage of a dual port Virtual HCA (vHCA) to share RDMA resources (e.g., MR, CQ, SRQ, PDs) across the two Ethernet (RoCE) NIC network ports and display the NIC as a dual port device. For this feature to function properly, the following requirements must be met: 
          * Either the LAG or the Dual Port mode is enabled by the driver.
          * Dual port device: both ports must be set as ETH.

        * Enabled Windows single root input/output virtualization (SR-IOV) Enhanced eIPoIB (without Secure Connection) for Windows-over-Windows setups.
        * crdump operation takes a snapshot of the device's crspace dword-by-dword. It enables the driver to collect debug information upon firmware failure.
        * Secure Firmware Updates provides devices with the ability to verify digital signatures of new firmware binaries, in order to ensure that only officially approved versions are installed on the devices.
        * Changed the default Forward Error Connection (FEC) mode for cables with attenuation 16 and below from Reed Solomon (RS) to FC.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.0
changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 12.21.1000:**
      
        * RDMA_CM driver was causing the Queue Pair (QP) Rate Limit to be activate unexpectedly and reduce the bandwidth significantly on this QP.
        * Low throughput when Eplicit Congestion Notification (ECN) was enabled in a many-to-one scenario.
        * A rare issue that caused the firmware to hang.
        * The maximum temperature in a setup was incorrectly reported as the current temperature regardless of the actual temperature.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 12.24.1000:**
      
      843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)
      
      **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 16.24.1000:**

      872725-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 1-port 841QSFP28 Adapter)
      
      **Changes and New features in firmware version 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:**
      
        * Added support for the following: 
          * An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
          * Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
          * TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
          * Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation. 
            * L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
            * L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
          * Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).  
      Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not
      supported.
      
          * Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
          * IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB (underlay) QPs.
          * [Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
          * QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
          * New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
        * Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated counters such as error counters.
        * Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
        * Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
        * Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
        * Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.  
      Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently
      not supported.
      
        * Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
        * Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
        * [Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
        * Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
        * Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
        * Reduced firmware's memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
        * Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.
      
      **New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:**
      
        * Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
        * The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
        * Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow: 
          * in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
          * in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs
      
      **New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:**
      
        * Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
        * Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
        * Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different packet modifications apply to different duplications.
        * Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.  
      Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently
      not supported.
      
        * Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
        * Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
        * Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and Reg B rewriting.
        * Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

  -     *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 12.27.1016:**
      
      843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)
      
      **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 16.27.1016:**
      
      872723-B21 (HPE Apollo InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 2-port 841z Mezzanine Adapter)  
      872725-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 1-port 841QSFP28 Adapter)
      
      **Changes and New Features in firmware version 12.27.1016 and 16.27.1016:**
      
        * RoCE Selective Repeat introduces a new QP retransmission mode in RoCE: recovery from packet drop by resending the dropped packet and not only all the PSN window (Go-Back-N protocol),  
      This new capability comes with the following limitations:
      
          * Selective repeat cannot be used with AR
          * Does not work with signature (T10-DIF)
          * Does not work with Tag Matching enabled
        * Allows BMC to query and control NIC over RedFish API (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish). Currently, the NIC supports reading data and setting basic Ethernet and InfiniBand parameters.
        * Enables matching of source_vhca_port in the FDB flow for ECMP hardware offload on a single FDB.
        * Added support for dumping hardware steering entries (raw data) using the resource dump API.
        * The eth_link_down_counter now counts logical link downs as well.
      
      **Changes and New Features in firmware version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Removed power consumption limitation. This new capability removes the necessity to disable the port due to insufficient power. When this feature is enabled, an event will be sent on every transition between the following power states: 
          * Power limit is not advertised
          * Sufficient power detected
          * Insufficient power detected
        * Firmware can be now updated as well as DB strings while performing Live Firmware Patch.
        * Enables the device to generate events that will notify the user about any resource dumps updates. The resource dump owner (PF/ECPF) will be notified on the VF command failures by events that will contain the needed information to call the resource_dump command. The device will dump the resource in the standard resource dump sequence.
        * Added support for the following features: 
          * RSS based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets.
          * Relaxed ordering read when using the create_mkey flag.  
      Note: This capability is not supported when using Multi-Host cards and when in
      PCIe-Switch  
      mode.

        * Fixed an issue that resulted in unexpected queue pairs transitioned to error in lossy tests.
        * Limited the maximum amount of dumps created on a Physical Function(PF).
        * Renamed the GMP Mellanox Vendor Specific External Capability mask enum from IsDiagnosticCountersSupported to IsDiagnosticDataSupported.
        * Fixed a stability issue in RoCE retransmissions under stress affecting Zero-Touch-RoCE.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a function to misbehave when a PCIe TLP was set with a poisoned indication.
        * Fixed an issue that caused large number of packet to drop when running Jumbo frames with Time to live (TTL) rewrite
        * Limited the number of the elements in the QoS tree 2K. Creating more than 250 Vport_tc for every TC was not allowed
        * Fixed the query QP flow. Instead of always taking port 1, FW will now reply the proper port, 1 or 2, for the dual port RDMA over Converged Ethernet(RoCE) net device.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the nack counters to constantly be reported as "0". 
        * In a rare scenario when the driver was executing the "2err" command and th Queue pair(QP) was in SQ drain state, the firmware might post event of broken Work Queue (WQ) instead of sending error CQEs on all the WQEs.

        * A race condition that occured between the duplicate read and QP commands (2RST, 2ERR and Destroy) in the signature that caused the command to hang.
        * When all traffic applications sharing the same combination of <function, priority, side> were rate limited (for example by congestion control), this limit was enforced on other applications with different combinations of <function, priority, side> under the same VL. For example, requestor flows (RDMA-write) were limited to rate X, however, this rate was also enforced on a QP sending RDMA-read responses. This firmware version prevents rate limit enforcement on traffic applications which should not be limited.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in component version 1.0.10(B):**
      
        * Transaction test error was reported while deploying the component using SPP from HPE Linux SDR.
      
      
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.  
      
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.35.3006:**
      
        * Packet loss that occurred when restarting the transmit. 
        * An issue that prevented RoCE malformed packets (UDP packet with dest_port equal to RoCE well known udp_dport (0x4791)) from being counted on the vport_counter when the function disables RoCE (through MODIFY_NIC_VPORT_CONTEXT command).
        * A memory leakage that occurred when closing connected QPs (Type RC/UC/XRC/DC).
        * Added a missing VLAN strip.

      **New features and changes in version 14.27.1016 and 16.27.1016:**
      
        * RoCE Selective Repeat introduces a new QP retransmission mode in RoCE: recovery from packet drop by resending the dropped packet and not only all the PSN window (Go-Back-N protocol). This new capability comes with the following limitations:  
                 Selective repeat cannot be used with AR  
                 Does not work with signature (T10-DIF)  
                 Does not work with Tag Matching enabled
        * Allows BMC to query and control NIC over RedFish API (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish). Currently, the NIC supports reading data and setting basic Ethernet and InfiniBand parameters
        * Enables matching of source_vhca_port in the FDB flow for ECMP hardware offload on a single FDB.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 14.27.1016:**
      
        * The device to perform Direct memory access (DMA) into memory already returned to the OS during the transition between the pre-boot drivers to the OS driver.
        * Fixed a rare issue that resulted in HCA hanging during a FlexibleLOM (FLR) flow while unloading the PreBoot driver.
        * The Zero-Touch RoCE (ZTR) counters query to always return 0.
        * Fixed a performance degradation issue, and a high packet drop when single root input/output virtualization or SR-IOV was enabled and packets went through the FDB default behavior.
        * Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) bandwidth dropping to 20-40kBps with a high amount of package drops, in a network environment with high latency (over 110ms).
        * Due to the string DB not being updated after Live-Patch, the tracer cannot function after Live-Patch.
        * Fixed a issue that caused other active functions to receive a malformed Completion with Error (CQE) during driver (PF or VF) unload or FLR flows.
        * Prevented the adapter card from going into the bypass mode when the Board Management Controller (BMC) disabled the hardware arbitration.
        * The firmware to hang when an FLR occurred at the same time as the teardown. As a result, the teardown flow took a lock, and never released it because it was being aborted by an FLR.

changelog:
  -     *Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 16.27.2008:**
      
        * Although the effective BER (after FEC) was expected to meet the design targets (e.g. 10e-14 or lower), occasionally it was higher.
        * High BER occured when connecting cables of type 0.5/1m DAC to an HDR speed.
        * The PCIe Tx parameters did not load correctly when the speed was changed after the PCIe link was disabled.
        * The desched_threshold field did not work properly.
        * The "roce_adp_retrans" counter was presenting the values of the "local_ack_timeout_err" counter.
        * If Relaxed Ordering was disabled by running the "setpci" command, it would not be functional even after re-enabling it by running the "setpci" command again.
      
      **Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 14.27.4000:**
      
        * The device hung while running the sw reset flow under heavy stress and with many open resources.

changelog:
  -     *Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 16.28.4200:**
      
        * Although the effective BER (after FEC) was expected to meet the design targets (e.g. 10e-14 or lower), occasionally it was higher.
        * High BER occured when connecting cables of type 0.5/1m DAC to an HDR speed.
        * The PCIe Tx parameters did not load correctly when the speed was changed after the PCIe link was disabled.
        * The desched_threshold field did not work properly.
        * The "roce_adp_retrans" counter was presenting the values of the "local_ack_timeout_err" counter.
        * If Relaxed Ordering was disabled by running the "setpci" command, it would not be functional even after re-enabling it by running the "setpci" command again.

        * Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
        * Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different number of MSIX vectors per physical PCI functions.To use this feature, please follow these steps:
        *         Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
        *         Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX configuration.

changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where OA "update iLO all" command fails in an enclosure with maximum Blades.
        * Addressed an issue where a Warning Alert  was wrongly sent when a fan is reseated in an enclosure
        * Addressed an issue where the port mapping information for 560M Izzy adapter Mezz controller was not displayed correctly.
        * Addressed an issue where Remote Syslog logging would fail when OA failover happened in an IPv6 only environment.
        * Enhanced OA to bring the server from a power throttled state back to normal power state upon an OA reboot to circumvent an unwarranted emergency brake.
        * Fixed an issue where the Active and Standby OAs can have the same IP address in some rare situations.
        * Resolved an issue where a Gen9 server's host name gets cleared when the blade is rebooted.
        * Addressed an issue where server blade Power ON will be delayed in enclosures with OA Firmware Version 4.60 and managed by HPE OneView, when the OA module is reset until OneView refreshes the servers.
      
      **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-5387- Addressed a vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.
        * CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session
        * CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string.
        * CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service.
        * Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow.
        * Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support  in OA.
        * Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability in the post-authentication sshd process.
      
      **Issues and workarounds**
      
      **Browsers**
      
        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.
      
      **FIPS**
      
      Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS
      requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
      running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG
      and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when
      running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
      be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant
      certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state,
      attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will
      fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled.
      When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
      status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI
      interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully
      used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates
      installed in the OA.
      
      **IRC**
      
      Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the
      same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media
      mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application
      (HP Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal
      client.
      
      **EFM **
      
      To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO
      file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on
      HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

      ** Security **
      
           CAC Feature: The authentication mechanism in Onboard Administrator has been enhanced to support DoD  
           Common Access Card Personal Identification Verification devices. This feature enhances security by  
           supporting multi factor authentication and below are the core elements of the new Authorization mechanism  
           listed below:
      
        * During Authentication (occurs during SSL session establishment): Verifying revocation status using Online  
      Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) or Offline Certificate Revocation List
      (CRL).
      
        * During Authentication (after SSL session establishment): The certificate's Subject Alternate Name (SAN)  
      or the Subject is validated against the User Principal Name (UPN) of the
      corresponding principal in Active Directory.
      
        * It is important to note that the local user accounts in OA are disabled in CAC mode.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.80
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where OA "update iLO all" command fails in an enclosure with maximum Blades.
        * Addressed an issue where a Warning Alert  was wrongly sent when a fan is reseated in an enclosure
        * Addressed an issue where Remote Syslog logging would fail when OA failover happened in an IPv6 only environment.
        * Enhanced OA to bring the server from a power throttled state back to normal power state upon an OA reboot to circumvent an unwarranted emergency brake.
        * Fixed an issue where the Active and Standby OAs can have the same IP address in some rare situations.

        * Addressed an issue where server blade Power ON will be delayed in enclosures with OA Firmware Version 4.60 and managed by HPE OneView, when the OA module is reset until OneView refreshes the servers.
      
      **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-5387- Addressed a vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.
        * CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session
        * CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string.
        * CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service.
        * Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow.
        * Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support  in OA.
        * Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability in the post-authentication sshd process.
      
      **Issues and workarounds**
      
      **Browsers**
      
        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.

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

        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8. On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.
      
      **FIPS**
      
      Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS
      requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
      running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG
      and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when
      running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
      be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant
      certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state,
      attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will
      fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled.
      When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
      status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI
      interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully
      used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates
      installed in the OA.
      
      **IRC**
      
      Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the
      same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media
      mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application
      (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal
      client.
      
      **EFM**
      
      To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO
      file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on
      HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.
      
      **CAC**
      
        * In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
        * Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
        * If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
        * It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access.
      
      **Configurable SSH Port Number                                               **
      
      If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated
      to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware
      feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby
      OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is
      to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next
      boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to
      default port 22 in the Active OA.

      When OA is in FIPS ON or FIPS TOP-SECRET mode and any of the ciphers that use
      Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys are enabled, firmware upgrade or downgrade using OA
      Smart  Component 4.96 or earlier versions may fail with following error:

      Verify The target address is correct and can be accessed from your system.
      
      
      
                The work-around for this problem is to disable all the ciphers that use DH  key and rerun the firmware upgrade or downgrade.
      
      Disabling ciphers can be done using the CLI command DISABLE SSL CIPHER or
      through the GUI.  The disabled ciphers can be re-enabled once the firmware
      upgrade or downgrade is completed.
      
      
      
      **ILO5 Firmware Update**
      
      
      
       The UPDATE ILO command is failing to update the iLO5 firmware versions 2.10
      and later on OA version 4.90 and less than 4.90. This issue is caused by the
      introduction of new  signature in the iLO5 firmware version 2.10
      
      . The work-around is to update the OA firmware  to 4.95 and then try the
      UPDATE ILO command. This issue will not occur with OA versions   4.95 and
      later.
