author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 3.00
changelog:
  -     The following enhancements are part of the Smart Array controller firmware  
         v3.00:
      
           * After a firmware upgrade and reboot, the background parity  
             initialization process starts for logical drives with incomplete or  
             failed background parity initialization status.
      
           * Previously, background surface scans for data consistency could wait  
             up to 14 days between runs. Surface scan now restarts immediately when  
             a consistency check fails. When no surface scan issues are found,  
             surface scan maintains the 14 day waiting period.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where PCIe root ports were incorrectly indicating they
      supported PCIe Gen4. In rare cases this could cause a PCIe device to attempt
      to train at Gen4. Only PCIe Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 are supported on the ProLiant
      DL385 Gen10. Without this resolution devices may run slower than their optimal
      frequency.
      
      Addressed an issue where core counts for some processors such as AMD EPYC 7282
      would be incorrectly displayed in iLO and some pre-boot pages. This was not a
      functional issue and only affected the count of enabled cores as displayed to
      the user. The cores would have been active even without this resolution.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may fail to boot if the RBSU Bifurcate
      option was set to anything other than Auto when using AMD EPYC 7002 series
      processors.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Security
      called UEFI Variable Access Firmware Control. This option, when enabled, can
      be used to block UEFI Variable writes, such as to the UEFI Boot Order, from
      the Operating System or a third-party utility. HPE recommends leaving this
      capability disabled unless the user specifically wants to prevent the
      operating system's normal operation of writing to UEFI Variables, which
      typically occur during OS install.

      Addressed an issue where in the OS does not display the true CPU Max Core
      Frequency.
      
      Addressed an issue with AMD EPYC 1st Generation processors that can result in
      Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events being logged to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) in cases when they should not be logged. The system
      monitors corrected errors and notifies the user when action is required due to
      an increased risk of an Uncorrected Memory Error. Corrected Memory errors are
      a normal and expected occurrence and do not always indicate a higher risk of
      an Uncorrected Memory Error. Previous revisions of the System ROM were
      incorrectly logging Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events to the IML when
      action should not have been required, resulting in unnecessary scheduled
      downtime to replace DIMMs. It is recommended that the System ROM be updated to
      this version before replacing DIMMs due to Corrected Memory Error Threshold
      Events.

      training at a less than advertised speed.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for MCTP Broadcast
      Support. This option is used to control the PCIe Management Component
      Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for a given slot. This option can be used to
      disable MCTP support to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support
      this protocol. It is recommended that this option remain enabled for full
      system functionality.

changelog:
  -     Add new System Configuration (RBSU) configuration options that allow
      controlling the processor's P0 (maximum) frequency. This includes the "Custom
      Pstate0" option with settings of "Auto" (default) and "Manual" and the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option that allows setting the P0 frequency. When
      the "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Manual", the value of the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" is used for the processor's P0 frequency. When the
      "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Auto", the processor uses its
      normal, maximum P0 frequency and the "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option is not
      configurable. In System Configuration (RBSU), these options are located under
      the BIOS/Processor Options. This setting has the following Redfish
      properties:

  -     Add new System Configuration (RBSU) configuration options that allow
      controlling the processors P0 (maximum) frequency. This includes the Custom
      Pstate0 option with settings of Auto (default) and Manual and the Pstate0
      Frequency(MHz) option that allows setting the P0 frequency. When the Custom
      Pstate0 option is configured for Manual, the value of the Pstate0
      Frequency(MHz) is used for the processors P0 frequency. When the Custom
      Pstate0 option is configured for Auto, the processor uses its normal, maximum
      P0 frequency and the Pstate0 Frequency(MHz) option is not configurable. In
      System Configuration (RBSU), these options are located under the
      BIOS/Processor Options. This setting has the following Redfish properties:

      Addressed an issue where the server may experience a Red Screen (RSOD) during
      boot when a Matrox GPU is present and the server is booting in Legacy Boot
      Mode. This problem could occur with other optional PCIe graphics adapters.
      This issue is not intermittent and will occur on every boot with impacted
      optional PCIe graphics adapters with previous System ROM revisions. This issue
      is not seen with servers configured in UEFI Boot Mode or when using the
      embedded graphics controller.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may incorrectly report that a DIMM has
      been mapped out after a memory training failure in the Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when the DIMM is still present in the system memory map. The IML
      will now correctly indicate the memory training failure, but will not indicate
      that the DIMM has been mapped out. This change only impacts the IML logging of
      the error and does not impact the operation of the system.

      microcode which provides mitigation for an Intel sighting where under complex
      micro-architectural conditions, executing X87 or AVX or integer divide
      instructions may results in unpredictable system behavior. This issue is not
      unique to HPE servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may become unresponsive during POST when
      both iLO and the server are reset simultaneously.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may experience a Red Screen (RSOD) during
      boot when a Matrox GPU is present and the server is booting in Legacy Boot
      Mode. This problem could occur with other optional PCIe graphics adapters.
      This issue is not intermittent and will occur on every boot with impacted
      optional PCIe graphics adapters with previous System ROM revisions. This issue
      is not seen with servers configured in UEFI Boot Mode or when using the
      embedded graphics controller.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may incorrectly report that a DIMM has
      been mapped out after a memory training failure in the Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when the DIMM is still present in the system memory map. The IML
      will now correctly indicate the memory training failure, but will not indicate
      that the DIMM has been mapped out. This change only impacts the IML logging of
      the error and does not impact the operation of the system.

changelog:
  -     Added support for HPE One button secure erase. This option can be launched
      from the HPE Intelligent Provisioning application or through the HPE RESTful
      API to securely restore the system back to a default configuration. This
      option also requires iLO firmware 1.40 or later, and Intelligent Provisioning
      3.30 or later.
      
      Added Secure Configuration Lock feature. This feature can be enabled to detect
      system hardware, security configuration, or firmware revision changes to
      protect against malicious or unintended modifications to the server. This
      protection can be enabled for systems in transit from the factory to the
      customer site, in transit from one customer site to another, or can be left
      enabled on a deployed server. A new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Server
      Configuration Lock menu in the Server Security Options is available to enable
      and configure this functionality.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Backup and Restore Settings

      The following vulnerabilities have been addressed in this System ROM release:
      CVE-2018-3613 CVE-2017-5731, CVE-2017-5732, CVE-2017-5733, CVE-2017-5734,
      CVE-2017-5735, CVE-2018-3630, CVE-2018-12178, CVE-2018-12179, CVE-2018-12180,
      CVE-2018-12181, CVE-2018-12182 and CVE-2018-12183. These security
      vulnerabilities are not unique to HPE servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain processors (i3, Pentium, or Celeron) were
      incorrectly showing support for SGX in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) when
      they should not. Customers using an i3, Pentium, or Celeron processor with SGX
      enabled need to back up any SGX protected data before updating to the DL20
      Gen10 1.20_01_28_2019 or later BIOS versions. Failure to do so will result in
      any SGX protected data becoming inaccessible. This issue is not unique to HPE
      servers.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain PCIe option cards may not train properly and
      cause the system to hang during POST. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

      may fail to properly execute on a subsequent boot and be marked with an
      exception in the iLO firmware installation queue.
      
      Addressed an issue where iLO virtual media may not boot properly after setting
      the Boot on Next Reset option in the iLO Remote Console and Media - Virtual
      Media settings.
      
      Addressed an issue where the AHS Download application from the System
      Utilities Embedded Applications or UEFI Shell may fail to work properly with
      iLO firmware 1.30 or later.
      
      Addressed an issue where the UEFI Shell sysconfig command may fail to set an
      option or become unresponsive.
      
      Addressed an issue where an optional SATA DVD drive may not unlock and allow

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.50_08-27-2021
changelog:
  -     Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022. Windows Server 2022 adds a
      new security feature called Secured-core. Secured-core is only supported on
      3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable Processors. Secured-core servers use a
      combination of hardware features, firmware enablement and Windows Server
      operating system capabilities to provide protection against malware and
      rootkit security exploits.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Microsoft Secured-
      core Support. Enabling this setting makes the following policy changes and
      configures the corresponding options: Intel Virtualization Technology
      enabled, Intel VT-d enabled, Intel TXT Support enabled, Secure Boot enabled,
      TPM enabled in 2.0 mode. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is
      enabled can prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      Added new RBSU option to Omit Boot Device Event in TPM PCR[4] following EDK2.
      Warning: changing the setting will affect TPM measurements and can impact
      software functionality which utilizes the TPM PCR registers such as Microsoft
      BitLocker. PCR[4] is the register that records the process of attempting to
      boot different hardware paths like from a a hard drive or CD, and what boot
      devices are attempted, and the Initial Program Loader (IPL) code that is
      loaded and executed from the device. If boot from one device fails,
      measurements in PCR[4] record the attempt to boot the next device or boot
      path. If recording which device attempted to boot is omitted with this option
      (i.e. enable this option), the BIOS records the event type
      EV_OMIT_BOOT_DEVICE_EVENTS in PCR[4], otherwise the event is not recorded.

changelog:
  -     Replaced "AC power" with "external power" in the help text of "Automatic
      power-on" option. This is due to ProLiant servers also provide the DC power
      supply option.
      
      Added "DMI Power Management (ASPM)" option in RBSU. The option has the default
      value of "disable", which will override default setting of "enable" from the
      previous ROM. This is due to enabling DMI power management might result in
      system hang with machine check exception based on Intel erratum RKL-15.
      
      The path to the option is: Processor Options -> DMI Power Management (ASPM)
      
      This setting has the Redfish property URI of:
      /redfish/v1/systems/1/bios/settings/E3DmiAspm
      
      To follow DMTF schema, change the Redfish registry version naming to have the
      pattern of "^\d+.\d+.\d+$".
      
      For example,
      /redfish/v1/registrystore/registries/zh/biosattributeregistrya55.v1_1_20 will

  - 10.01.00.59.xx.y-k1 HM 01/31/2020
  Enhancements:
  - SAN Congestion Management

  The qla2xxx driver has the ability participate in SAN Congestion
  Management wherein when the driver receives an FPIN ELS, it
  forwards the ELS payload to the fc_transport to process
  the notification.

  In addition, the driver also tracks the error stats internally which
  is used by our application to display the information to the SAN
  administrator.

  Fixes
  - qla2xxx: Script changes to collect MPI firmware dump.
  - qla2xxx: Fix MPI failure AEN (8200) handling.
  - qla2xxx: Honor status qualifier in FCP_RSP per spec.
  - qla2xxx: Handle NVME status iocb correctly.
  - qla2xxx: Allow dev_loss_tmo setting for FC-NVMe devices.
  - qla2xxx: Setup debugfs entries for remote ports.
  - qla2xxx: Fix I/O failures during remote port toggle testing.

  - 10.01.00.58.xx.y-k1 HM 01/29/2020
  Enhancements:
  - None

  Fixes
  - scsi: qla2xxx: Fix unbound NVME response length

  1 Inbox RHEL 7.8 - Kernel panic
  while running IOs with NetApp's
  pNate suite with NULL pointer
  deference.

  Resolution: When a NVMe command is completed with status
  of data underrun, driver will copy data size
  indicated in response payload without verifying
  lenght. This fix will make sure driver checks
  for the length and if its greated than response
  payload, sets buffer size to response size.


  - 10.01.00.57.xx.y-k1 HM 01/21/2020
  Enhancements:
  - None

  Fixes
  - qla2xxx: flush IO on zone disable.

  1 L1-121 - RH81 Inbox -QLogic - system
  crashes during perturbation tests

  Resolution: Customer do Zone disable test. Driver gets 
  failure from Fabric scan commands. Driver 
  fail to flush all session when switch scan
  failed. This leave multipath driver in a hung
  state. Driver needs to flush all sessions to
  allow multipath to fail over.

  - 10.01.00.56.xx.y-k1 HM 01/16/2020
  Enhancements:
  - None

  Fixes
  - qla2xxx: flush all sessions on zone disable
  - scsi: qla2xxx: unregister ports after GPN_FT failure
  - qla2xxx: Fix crash during device discovery.

  1 L1-121 - RH81 Inbox -QLogic - system
  crashes during perturbation tests

  Resolution: Customer do Zone disable test. Driver gets

  - 10.01.00.55.xx.y-k1 HM 10/29/2019
  Enhancements:
  - None

  Fixes
  - qla2xxx: re-PLOGI on PRLI NVME failure

  1 NVMe/FC Failed to Reconnect to Target Even with Manual
  Connect. Reboot Required to Fix

  Resolution: When PRLI failure is encountered by the target which does
  not understand FC-NVMe, restart the state machine by going
  back to PLOGI state.

  Scope: ISP26xx/27xx/28xx 

  - qla2xxx: update: fix stuck login session

  1 Initiator port did not become ONLINE after LOOP UP

  Resolution: Session is stuck if driver sees FW has received a PRLI.
  Driver allows FW to finish with processing of PRLI by
  checking back with FW at a later time to see if the PRLI
  has finished. Instead, driver failed to push forward
  after re-checking PRLI completion.
