# changelog

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 12.28.2006:**
      
        * An issue that caused the DCR (DC Resources) to be destroyed before the retry option managed to work when the retry timeout is too big. in this case, the DCR' time-to-live was increased, and the maximum retry timeout was decreased.
        * Increased PHY power consumption limit to 1.5w.
        * An issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to report port icrc errors.
      
      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * TX PRBS was not changed even after reconfiguring it, all PRBS mode were enabled in test mode.
        * An assert that was caused when trying to open 1024 functions on the device and the maximum number of functions was 1023.
        * Occasional performance issues related to RC QPs using E2E-credits (not connected to SRQ and doing send/receive traffic) when the ROCE_ACCL tx_window was enabled.
        * A fatal error occurred and eventually resulted in the HCA to get into an unresponsive state when a packet was larger than a strided receive WQE that was being scattered.
        * A rare issue that caused RX pipe to hang.
        * The resource number size (a 64 bit number) was overwritten with a 32 bit number and erased the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.
        * CRT_DCR with index larger than 1 << 21 occasionally collided with the CRT_SW_RESERVED address.
        * An issue that caused the TX queue to get into an unresponsive state when the VF rate limiter was set.
      
      **Additional Fixes included in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * Disabled the CNP counter "rp_cnp_ignored " (triggered by OOS (out-of-sequence)) when all ports are IB.
        * Fixed the TMP421 sensor temperature reporting.
        * Fixed the rate select mechanism in QSFP modules.
        * Fixed classification issues for "Passive" cables to be more robust.
        * Initialized the rate table in the static configuration so it will be configured at the link-not-up scenarios.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 12.28.2006:**
      
        * 843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)  
      
      
      **Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 16.32.1010:**
      
        * 872723-B21 (HPE Apollo InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 2-port 841z Mezzanine Adapter)
        * 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 16.32.1010:**
      
        * 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.
        * The firmware now exposes a new Software Steering ICM resource for VXLAN encap expand in order for the SW Steering to manage this resource directly.
        * Added support for asymmetrical VFs per PF. To enable it: PF_NUM_OF_VF_VALID must be true, and PF_NUM_OF_VF to a none zero value.
        * Added 2 new MAD access registers to enable mlxlink to read/write access registers by LID (to the whole subnet).
        * 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.

      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.32.1010**
      
        * 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 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.

      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.

      **New features and changes in version 22.27.1016 ****:**
      
        * 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.
        * Enables the user to reset the firmware without resetting the PHY. The links that were up will stay up, all the other links will be disabled.
        * Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) offload allows the NIC to accelerate IPsec AES-GCM 128/256. The hardware will encrypt/decrypt the packet and send it to wire/host accordingly.
        * Added support for the following 
          * vDPA (VirtIO 0.95 and 1.0).
          * Live migration on vDPA (VirtIO 0.95 and 1.0).
          * Dumping hardware steering entries (raw data) using the resource dump API
          * Relaxed Ordering Read using the create_mkey flag.
          * Configuring Virtual Output Queuing (VoQ).
          * Expansion ROM for UEFI and PXE.
        * 100GbE link speed is supported in Auto-Negotiation Mode.
        * 200GbE link speed is supported in Force Mode.
        * RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) is a mechanism to provide this efficient data transfer with very low latencies on lossless Ethernet networks.
        * Enabled traffic directly from OS to BMC and backwards through NIC.
        * Enabled the NCSI management protocol over RMII interface.
        * Opened additional sensors for all Facebook adapter cards.
        * Enabled the hardware to identify and mark congestion.
        * A "Secure firmware update" is the ability of a device to verify digital signatures of new firmware binaries, in order to assure that only officially approved versions can be installed from the host, the network or a Board Management Controller (BMC).
        * Enables the counters to expose any legacy mode debug ability information.

        * 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.

      **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.
        * 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.
        * 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 based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets.

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.
      
      **Fixes in version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that in Multi-Host adapter cards that resulted in wrong handling of PCIe Reset(PERST) on auxiliary links.

        * Required using a non-standard tool to perform the first Live Firmware Patch Update (LFWP) patching when used the GA firmware version.
        * Fixed redundant page consumption in the init_hca.
        * The sw_reset option was not supported when ATS was enabled.
        * Fixed a possible performance degradation in small packet sizes that occured when SWITCH_IPV4_TTL_MODIFY_ENABLE configuration was enabled in mlxconfig.
        * Due to the string DB not being updated after Live-Patch, the tracer cannot function after Live-Patch.
        * Other active functions to receive a malformed CQE during driver (PF or VF) unload or FLR flows.
        * Prevented PCI link from being established when the firmware was corrupted.
        * Triggered a FW assert and resulted in a wrong deallocation of a resource when Packet Pacing was enabled and a QP was being destroyed.
        * 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.

        * 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.                                                                                                                                
        * Added a new NVconfig per Port for a specific Finisar module. This new NVconfig sets the port to work in AN mode and sets the module to No DME. This change does not affect the speed logic, only the FEC logic (FEC override). Note: If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode.                                                                                                                        
      
      **New features and changes included in version 16.31.1014:**
      
        * 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.
        * support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) was included via the UEFI HII system settings.
        * 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.
        * RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
        * Added a new bit ("data_in_order") 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.
        * 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.

        * 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 QSHR access register to enable Set and Query rate limit perhost per-port.

        * 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.

        * 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.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * When an HP c-Class BladeSystem c7000 enclosure that contains ProLiant BL2x220c server blades is configured with the OA firmware version 3.60, HP Insight Control (IC) Server Deployment does not fully support operating system deployment. The IC Server Deployment console is not able to properly display and target BL2x220c blades installed in the bay slots from 10 to 16.
          * On rare circumstances, the HP c-Class BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to get an EBIPA assigned address and may instead get a 0.0.0.0 IP address or an externally assigned DHCP address even though they are configured to get EBIPA assigned addresses. This issue is most visible following an interconnect reset, but may also occur after an extended period of run time. This issue will only occur on a very busy flat network where the OA and interconnect modules are not split off into separate management network.
          * After upgrading Onboard Administrator firmware from versions prior to OA v3.50 to OA v3.5x or OA 3.60, auto login requests initiated from the Onboard Administrator to iLO may not be successful. Potentially impacted auto login requests are initiated when performing such actions as: 
            * Launching iLO Web Administration or Remote Console from the Onboard Administrator graphical user interface
            * Accessing server console using the Onboard Administrator Insight Display KVM Menu
            * Executing the HPONCFG, CONNECT SERVER, or UPDATE ILO Onboard Administrator CLI commands
            * Executing Enclosure Firmware Management tasks on a server

        * Fixed an issue with the CLI EBIPA INTERCONNECT commands where EBIPA IP settings are not configured for Interconnect modules after the command execution. This issue existed only with the Onboard Administrator firmware V2.20. The GUI functionality was not affected. The CLI commands affected are:
          * SET EBIPA INTERCONNECT
          * ENABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT 
          * DISABLE EBIPA INTERCONNECT
        * Fixed an issue where the CLI SET USER PASSWORD command intermittently resulted in an error response when the command was issued via Telnet or SSH.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
          * Fixed an issue where a server blade with Power Management Controller version 0.7 was incorrectly flagged as "Major degraded" when it should have been flagged as "Informational".
          * Fixed an issue with the "CONNECT INTERCONNECT" command that could intermittently hang the CLI session when using the send break command. This issue would only occur if the remote port settings were incorrect in the CONNECT console, or if the interconnect was not responsive.
          * Fixed an issue where a server blade's signature information would be inadvertently retained after deleting its Virtual Configuration Domain.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could not automatically log into an iLO if there were no local users configured on the ilO.
          * Fixed an issue where the devices name was not displayed on the system status page for degraded devices.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA GUI would improperly display the enclosures graphical front and rear views when on a factory reset was issued if VC was enabled.
          * Fixed an issue in the "HELP ADD LDAP GROUP" command where it incorrectly stated that the number of allowable directory groups was 6.  The help now correctly states that the correct number of 30.
          * Fixed an issue when executing the "GENERATE CERTIFICATE REQUEST" commands where the user was unable to enter the required Country field to proceed with the command.
          * Fixed an issue where a configured user account could not access the Insight Display from the enclosure's front view even thought the user had the appropriate permissions.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA would display "invalid command" when executing the CLI Help commands "HELP ENABLE SYSLOG REMOTE" or "HELP DISABLE SYSLOG REMOTE".
          * Fixed an issue where an OA user was allowed to remove the remote syslog server address while remote logging was enabled.  A user must now disable remote logging before clearing the syslog server address.
          * Fixed an issue where sidecar blades would not power on due to the partner blade being allowed to be incorrectly power on first.
          * Fixed an issue where power cycling the enclosure would cause a server and its sidecar to falsely report "Inappropriate device in adjacent bay".
          * Fixed an issue where the "CONNECT SERVER" command would terminate the CLI session if the maximum number of iLO users had already been created.
          * Fixed an issue where the LCD firmware sync option would still be available when there was mismatched OA hardware.  The OA will now disable the sync button when this condition exists.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA does not show all temperature information for Integrity Servers with unpopulated CPU sockets.
          * Fixed an issue where the "REBOOT SERVER FORCE" command would sometimes result in blades being powered off.
          * Added a syslog message when the allocated power value of a server blade is being updated and iLO is unresponsive.
          * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping error on a blade would result in the OA's enclosure power summary not to display Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping related information for all blades.
          * Fixed an issue where the KVM connections to a server blade would fail approximately 29 days after the last iLO reset.  When this issue occurs iLO is functioning normally but the OA fails to connect with a syslog message, "OA: KVM Bay X - Connection to blade failed."
          * Fixed an issue where the enclosure DVD status was inconsistent across GUI, CLI and LCD for all the blades.
          * Modified the OA to no longer log the "OA:tbmuser_logged out of the OA" event.
          * Fixed an issue where the c7000 KVM display menu for bay 16A would report "absent" when a double dense server blade such as the BLx220c was installed in bay 16.
          * Fixed an issue on c3000 Onboard Administrator where the CONNECT INTERCONNECT command would sometimes drop characters if the command was over 16 bytes.
          * Modified the Insight Display representation of double dense server blades to display a distinguishable separation so that it is not confused with the display of a single density server blade.
          * Fixed an issue on the Directory Settings Test page where it would improperly identify failed LDAP test when the ping test failed.
          * Fixed an issue where VC configuration parameters were not correctly applied after recovering from Profile Pending state.

      >   * Modified the SHOW ALL to also include the iLO 2 Event Log for all
      installed server blades.
      
      >   * Enhanced the handling of previously cached browser pages when upgrading
      the Onboard Administrator.
      
      >   * Self-signed certificates generated with Onboard Administrator v3.00 now
      use a SHA1 signature instead of the less secure MD5 signature.
      
      >   * Enhanced Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) to support individual
      network settings for each bay instead of global network settings which
      encompass all bays.
      
      >   * The method used to determine duplicate EBIPA IP addresses within OA 2.60
      and earlier has been found to be unreliable and at times indicates duplicate
      IP addresses that were in fact not duplicate, thus duplicate IP address
      checking has been removed from the OA 3.00.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 3.00
changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
          * Onboard Administrator v3.00 EBIPA changes to support configuring device bays or interconnect bays in different IP subnets (particularly to support the new Enclosure VLAN feature) require a new CLI command to save the EBIPA settings. Enclosure configuration files saved on previous Onboard Administrator versions will not have the new SAVE EBIPA command, so it is highly recommended that the Enclosure configuration file be saved after the Onboard Administrator is updated to version 3.00; even if the new EBIPA features are not used, to ensure that the Enclosure configuration file has the proper EBIPA command sequence to restore the EBIPA settings.
          * Internet Explorer 6 does not natively support IPv6. Please review Microsoft Technical Note, <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784580.aspx>, for details on using Internet Explorer 6 with the Onboard Administrator v3.00 configured for IPv6.
          * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680."

          * Fixed an issue where uploading a configuration script would intermittently display "500 An internal error has occurred within Apache". The script would successfully execute but no script feedback would be displayed.
          * Fixed an issue where SET FACTORY was not properly clearing all sittings and certificates, and syslog.
          * Fixed an issue an Onboard Administrator operator would be able to force a manual failover. Now only an administrator can perform this task as documented.
          * Fixed an issue where a user would not be properly logged out of a linked enclosure when enabling Two Factor Authentication on the linked enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue where adding a new LDAP group in the Onboard Administrator would default administrator access instead of user access.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      > **Enclosure Power Subsystem**
      
            * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680." Flagged power supplies continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. See customer advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01519680>
      
      > **Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap**
      
            * **Caution**: If Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is enabled, the changes in this feature in OA v3.10 may result in servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power", or the server may be unable to power on.   This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure.
            * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determine that the server power request can be satisfied.  Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade.  HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
      
      > **VLAN**
      
            * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled:
              1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the OA modules.
              2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all OA modules.
              3. Ensure that all HP 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the OA modules in that enclosure.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 3.11
changelog:
  -      For OA 3.10 installations, HP requires users to update to OA 3.11 at their earliest convenience.
      * For OA 3.00 installations, the user can simply enable the IPv6 feature in the OA and then at some later date upgrade to OA 3.11 as needed.  Note that IPv6 is disabled in the OA by default.
      * For all other OA installations, the user may want to consider updating to OA 3.11 if they are experiencing issues that were addressed in OA 3.00 or OA 3.11.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      > **OA Web Services Issue with OA 3.10**
      
            * Onboard Administrator (OA) v3.11 was released to address an issue found in OA 3.10, which could potentially create a condition where the OA's web services could become inaccessible and cause loss of communications with Virtual Connect Manager.
            * This issue can also be seen in OA 3.00 but doesn't manifest itself in the same manner due to additional changes in OA 3.10.  In OA 3.00, simply enabling IPv6 support will provide a workaround and OA 3.00 will function properly.  Note that IPv6 is disabled in the OA by default.

      the full-height blade, resulting in an "Not configured for Virtual Connect"
      error message on the OA.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue that caused a slow memory leak when the Network Time
      Protocol (NTP) was enabled and the poll frequency was set to less than 6
      minutes in the OA.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where under rare occasions, VC can write a server blade
      profile before the OA is ready to receive it, which would result in the VC
      profile being ignored.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where the OA would not properly display a blade's FlexNIC
      MAC addresses after removing a VC profile.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 3.20-1.1
changelog:
  -     *Firmware Additions**
      
        * Added support for automatically restoring the Enclosure's Serial Number on a mid-plane replacement.  This feature requires that all the OA modules and fans be plugged back into the enclosure before power is applied.  Changing power supplies during the midplane service event will not impact this feature.
        * Added additional support for Utility Ready Blades (URB):
          * Added URB SMTP support.  Metered information can now be communicated either through https, SMTP or both.
          * Added an additional URB metering proxy - present power.
          * Added URB Integrity Blade support for Integrity iLO3 server blades.
        * Added Enclosure Serial Number to the Insight Display (LCD) Enclosure Info screen.

      and/or Workstation partner server blades are in a c-Class BladeSystem
      enclosure. The OA and its interfaces (web GUI, CLI, LCD, etc.) may become
      sluggish or unresponsive. This occurs because the OA Firmware Version 3.20
      does not properly handle Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
      network traffic with the affected server blades. The intensity of the issue,
      lack of responsiveness in Onboard Administrator, is proportional to the number

This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure.

      cable is attached (as described in the Customer Advisory c02473928). OA 3.31
      contains the corrected 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru PIC Firmware version 3.0.3. PIC
      Firmware upgrade procedure is shown below.

      >> **Detailed Description:** HP NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, or NC553i 10GbE Server
      Adapters may indicate a false link status when mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet
      Pass-thru module even if there is no cable attached from the Pass-thru module
      to the switch. Even if a cable is either not connected or becomes
      inadvertently unplugged, and therefore no network connectivity is present, the
      server blade front panel NIC LED status will be illuminated green, indicating
      link. In addition, the operating system will display a message similar to,
      "Local area connection is now connected." This can also cause Network teaming
      and configuration issues because the NIC will always report that there is
      link.
      
      >>
      
      >> In addition, the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) NIC status is
      displayed incorrectly when a NIC cable is unplugged under any Linux operating
      system.
      
      >>
      
      >> This only occurs with the 1 Gb Pass-thru module. 10 Gb Pass-thru and 1/10Gb
      switches do not exhibit this issue.
      
      >>
      
      >> **Resolution:** for the applicable configurations described above, upgrade
      the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru
      modules in the enclosure:
      
      >>
      
      >>   1. Log into the OA CLI interface as an Administrator
      
      >>   2. OA> show update  
      This will show current and available firmware versions for programmable
      devices. OA 3.31 will indicate the newly available Pass-Thru PIC Firmware
      3.0.3.
      
      >>   3. OA> update device icbay <bay number | all>  
      This will update the specified interconnect bay, note that bay1 is 1A, etc.,
      as shown in the previous command

      Run this again to confirm that the versions now match
      
            * Fixed an issue where upgrading from Onboard Administrator (OA) 3.11 to OA 3.20, 3.21 or 3.30, under defined circumstances, may cause Virtual Connect (VC) to disconnect its Fibre Channel (FC) connections.  This is limited to systems using a HP ProLiant or Integrity Blade with a FlexFabric Adapter (Mezzanine or LOM) and either a
              * Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connection to a VC FlexFabric module or a
              * FC connection from a FC Mezzanine to a VC FC module
      
      > > **Detailed Description:** OA firmware revisions 3.20, 3.21, and 3.30
      identify the capabilities of the embedded G7 FlexFabric Adapter LOM or
      FlexFabric Adapter Mezzanine differently than OA firmware 3.11.  If a VC
      profile had previously been created and assigned to a blade using OA firmware
      3.11, then the newer OA firmware will detect a VC profile mismatch. This
      mismatch may cause Virtual Connect to disconnect the blade FC or FCoE SAN
      connections after a VC firmware upgrade or when a user issues a VC Manager
      (VCM) reset command.
      
      >>
      
      >> **_All_** the following must be true to be exposed to this condition on a
      VC firmware upgrade or VCM reset:

      >>   * A VC profile with a SAN fabric must have been assigned to that blade
      with OA firmware version 3.11

      Mezzanine)
      
      >>   * The current version of OA firmware is OA 3.20, 3.21, or 3.30
      
      >>   * The blade has not been removed/reinserted, nor the OA CLI Reset Server
      command run, nor had its profile reassigned, since the OA firmware was
      upgraded to OA 3.20 or later.
      
      >>
      
      >> Note that VC profiles assigned to a blade using OA version 3.20 or later
      are not impacted.  
      Note that OA firmware version 3.11 is the first OA version to support
      FlexFabric Adapters.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
        * **HP Gen8 Blade Support**
          * HP ProLiant Gen8 server blades require updating the Onboard Administrator to version 3.50 or later and Virtual Connect to version 3.51 or later _**before**_ inserting your ProLiant Gen8 server blade into an enclosure.
        * **HP SIM Support**
          * If you are running HP SIM v6.1 or 6.2, please do not update to OA 3.30 until you've applied all patches available for your HP SIM version, or upgrade your HP SIM to v6.3 prior to upgrading your OA environment. If running versions of HP SIM prior to v6.1, you must upgrade to a HP SIM v6.3 prior to upgrading to OA 3.30.
        * **Enclosure Power Subsystem**
          * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680." Flagged power supplies continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. See customer advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01519680>
        * **Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping**
          * **Caution: **Onboard Administrator v3.10 or later: Enabling Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping may result in:
          * Servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power"  
      or
      
          *  A server may be unable to power on  
      This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all
      server blades are powered on. If the enclosure Power Available is lower than
      the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value from a server blade
      - then that server blade could encounter this issue. The workaround is to
      increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more power available to the
      enclosure.
      
          * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determines that the server power request can be satisfied. Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade. HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
        * **VLAN**
          * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled:
        1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the Onboard Administrator modules.
        2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all Onboard Administrator modules.
        3. Ensure that all HP 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the Onboard Administrator modules in that enclosure.
      
      **Firmware Dependency:**
      
        * For firmware compatibility information please see HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance, <http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystemupdates>.
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
        * **General**
          * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure IP failure could cause the OA to be inoperable for a short period of time during a transition from Standby to Active.
          * Fixed an issue where both OAs claim to be active resulting in network loop flooding at OA startup.
          * Fixed an issue where the CLI command UPDATE DEVICE TRAY would not execute the update.
          * Fixed an issue where Single Sign On to iLO failed.
          * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator occasionally displayed incorrect DIMM memory total for a blade.
          * Fixed an issue where only one OA is accessible after upgrading redundant OAs from OA 3.21 to OA 3.30 where the OA continues to reboot for 30 minutes due to internal error.
          * Fixed an issue where some third party PCIe option cards could prevent the PCI Expansion blade from powering up properly. The PCI Expansion blade firmware must be upgraded to version 2.26 which is contained within OA 3.50.
          * Fixed an issue where an OA that had been up for a very long time might restart due to an out of memory condition.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA would improperly set an interconnect module health status to OK when the interconnect module had an internal fault.
          * Fixed an issue where any interconnect bay between 5 and 8 were not showing in "Show All/Show Config".
          * Fixed an issue where OA would lose its "Enclosure IP mode" during repeated failovers.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could possibly drop HTTP packets under heavy loads.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA would hang at boot step [7/16] and never recover even after flash disaster recovery.
          * Fixed an issue where some server blades would not initially power on when enclosure power cap was enabled.
          * Fixed a rare condition where the OA would clear a server blade's Virtual Serial Number and Virtual UUID during an iLO communication drop-out.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA could experience a segmentation fault after midplane replacement.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA LCD service could cause a segmentation fault and reboot.
        * **CLI**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA CLI Show Enclosure Temp command does not always display temps for G7 server blades.  If no server blade temps are shown then the OA incorrectly displays the enclosure ambient temperature instead.
        * **GUI**
          * Fixed an issue with the power meter graphical view which caused Firefox timeout issues.
        * **KVM**
          * Set KVM default minimum video resolution to 800 x 600 pixels.
        * **DVD**
          * Fixed an issue where the SET SERVER DVD CONNECT command would occasionally not take effect.
        * **Network**
          * Fixed an issue where NTP can be enabled or disabled from Standby OA.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could display stale or incorrect IP information for DHCP setting.
          * Fix an issue where the OA enabled for remote logging becomes unresponsive due to a DNS server outage.
        * **VLAN**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA GUI would not display error messages if an error occurred while saving VLAN configuration settings.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA may lose communication with an iLO under the following condition: VLAN is enabled, the blade's iLO is assigned a non-default VLAN ID different than that of the OA's VLAN ID, and an OA failover is performed.
        * **SNMP**
          * Fixed an issue where the standby OA's ping responses slow down over time and the OA could reboot due to out of memory (after approximately a month) when SNMP is enabled.
        * **LDAP**
          * Fixed an issue where the LDAP Test page (and TEST LDAP CLI command) did not properly handle a directory server at an IPv6 address.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA's LDAP server IP address was incorrectly set during a configuration upload operation.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to also consider the Subject Alternative Name field.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to enforce Valid Before/After date limits on the server certificate.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to enforce CN matches when FIPS mode is enabled.
          * Enhance LDAP Certificate Authority signature checking to observe some Ext3 flags.
        * **Thermals**
          * Fixed display of Ambient Temperature Sensor on some G7 and later blades.
          * Fixed an issue where quickly removing and inserting fans could cause the OA to get out of sync with the actual fans present in the chassis.
          * Fixed an issue where a fan's status would randomly indicate a degraded or failed status and then immediately return to an OK status.
          * Fixed an issue where the "update show fan" command would not always display the correct fan slot in a c3000 enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue that caused critical fan failures when relocating mismatched fans on a c3000 enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue where OA would unnecessarily ramp fan speeds due to a temporary loss of communication with iLO.
        * **VC**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA failed to display the Flex NICs properly after a VC failover, Active VC IP address change or a VC domain name change.
          * Fixed an issue where back-to-back switchovers of the OA could result in a corrupted VC/OA configuration.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes**
      
        * **HP Gen8 Blade Support**
          * OA 3.30, OA 3.31 and OA 3.32 will correctly power up and perform the initial configuration of Gen8 Server Blades.  However, when used with Virtual Connect, subsequent configuration changes to the network and storage profiles may not be handled properly resulting in incorrect port configurations.  OA 3.50 is required for use with Virtual Connect and Gen8 blades.  For more details, refer to the Customer Advisory (ID= c03246192) Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect - HP ProLiant Gen8 Server Blades Require Onboard Administrator Firmware Version 3.50 (or Later) and Virtual Connect Firmware Version 3.51 (or Later): <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03246192>.
          * Correct configuration of HP ProLiant Gen8 server blades requires updating the Onboard Administrator to version 3.50 or later and Virtual Connect to version 3.51 or later before inserting your ProLiant Gen8 server blade into an enclosure. Failure to upgrade the OA before inserting a Gen8 blade in the enclosure will result in a profile pending status with Virtual Connect.
          * Versions of the OA prior to OA 3.30 will not properly configure Gen8 server blades and should _not _be used.  
        * **HP SIM Support**
          * Version 6.1 and 6.2 of HP SIM do not discover and associate enclosures running OA versions 3.30 or later.  If you are running HP SIM v6.1 or 6.2, please do not update to OA 3.30 or later until you've applied all patches available for your HP SIM version, or upgrade your HP SIM to v6.3 prior to upgrading your OA environment. If running versions of HP SIM prior to v6.1, you must upgrade to HP SIM v6.3 or later prior to upgrading to OA 3.50 or later.

      **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**
          * OA 3.50 does not support SSO (single sign on) to iLO 2 (ProLiant G6, G5 or G1 server blades) when LDAP authentication is used with the syntax of <domain>\<user>. The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.  See Customer Advisory c03234658for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03234658>.
          * When LDAP-based authentication is used to access the OA, if the user name syntax contains a "," (comma), Single Sign-On (SSO) to any iLOs will fail after several attempts. An example of such syntax is:  CN=smith,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com  Once this issue is encountered, all other users (local users, LDAP users with syntaxes without a comma, or users accessing the OA via HP-SIM) are also impacted (those users will not be able to SSO to any iLO's). The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.
          * OA 3.50 (or prior) EBIPA page does not refresh the Management IP address for CBS 3020 Interconnect Modules (Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch) if the Switch firmware is upgraded from version 12.2(55)SE4 (or earlier) to version 12.2(58)SE1 (or later) without resetting the OA or the switch. OA 3.55 refreshes the correct IP address automatically.

          * Beginning with version 3.50, the OA could optionally generate 2048-bit keys for use with SSH and SSL. However, on upgrade the OA would retain existing 1024 bit keys to avoid disrupting ongoing communication. To switch from 1024-bit to 2048-bit keys you needed to first reset the OA configuration to factory defaults which would cause the generation of new keys. Beginning with version 3.56, a new CLI command "GENERATE KEY" can be used to force new keys to be generated at any time, i.e. without first resetting to factory defaults. For more information, refer to the section on new features.

changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Hardware Support**
          * HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Workstation Blade
          * HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 Server Blade
          * HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem
        * **Firmware Additions**
          * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) allows administrators to define a single firmware baseline (SPP version) for the G5, G6, G7 and Gen8 Server Blades in a c-Class enclosure.  The administrator can have the firmware updated to the baseline on server insertion, during a pre-defined maintenance window, or manually.  The Onboard Administrator maintains logs of the EFM firmware updates, and reports on compliance with the established baseline. 
            * EFM supports HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) 2011.09 or newer.  Please review the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) documentation and release notes for issues and information about supported firmware components, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp>.
            * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: 
              * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21)
              * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21)
          * Administrators can now define a custom Login Banner.  This can be used, for example, to display your specific Terms of Service (TOS) when logging in to the OA.
          * The OA IPv6 setting on the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings Page->IPv6 Settings tab now enables IPv6 traffic for all the devices in the enclosure (IPv6, RA, DHCPv6). 
            * The OA will display IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO
            * You must have IPv4 infrastructure to retain complete manageability through the OA; e.g. virtual media, single sign on, Enclosure Firmware Management.
          * Insight Remote Support enables health and inventory data for the enclosure to be collected by HP to expedite resolution of your issues.  Examples of data that is collected include: 
            * Enclosure name
            * Enclosure product name
            * Enclosure part number
            * Enclosure serial number
            * Enclosure manufacturer name
            * Onboard Administrator firmware version
            * Onboard Administrator IP and MAC addresses
          * New CLI command SET SERIAL BAUD "<Baud Rate>" configures the baud rate settings for the OA serial console port. Valid Baud Rate values are:  9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
          * New SHOW HEALTH CLI command provides a summary of the health/status of all components in the enclosure.
          * Beginning with iLO 3 (G7 server blades) firmware version 1.50 and iLO 4 (Gen8 server blades) firmware version 1.05 a change in the server status reported by the Onboard Administrator will be observed in cases where a server attempts to power on but power on is delayed or denied.  In addition to the diagnostic status information indicating the cause of the power delay or denial, an additional diagnostic status indication will now be reported by the Onboard Administrator indicating that the server blade is reporting an internal degraded status.  This is an intentional behavior change.
          * Enhanced the HPONCFG CLI command to allow variable substitution. HPONCFG sends a RIBCL script to the specified HP ProLiant server blades with the access level and privilege of the current user. Command syntax is as follows:  
              HPONCFG [NOAUTOLOGIN] [SUBSTITUTE [TEST] {<variable>="value" [,<variable>="value"[,]]}] {ALL | <bay number> [{ , | - } <bay number>]} {<< <end marker> | <from_url> [<to_url>]}  
      To use variable substitution, specify the token SUBSTITUTE followed by a list
      of variable assignments. Variable name and its value can include spaces,
      numbers, or any printable characters. Up to 25 variables are supported. The
      maximum length of variable name is 48 characters.  Specify TEST to review the
      RIBCL script that will be sent to the iLO without executing the script.  e.g.
      The following command line would replace the string "%NAME%" in the RIBCL
      script that gets executed with "MY_NAME":  
              HPONCFG SUBSTITUTE NAME="MY_NAME"
          * Updated OA SNMP to support the CPQRACK-MIB version 1.16.  Please see the HP Systems Insight Manager MIB Kit v9.20 for more details on the CPQRACK-MIB, <http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/mibkit.html>.
          * A new warning message, "Mixing different power supply models is not supported. The power supply in bay #X must be replaced with the proper part number.", is issued and the Power sub-system is degraded when different types of power supplies are mixed in c3000 enclosures.
          * With previous versions of the OA, packet flooding conditions on the management network could cause the OA to stop processing incoming packets.  Once triggered, this condition would persist until the OA was restarted.  The current version of the OA is more resilient to this condition, and will resume normal packet processing once the packet flooding conditions have cleared.  HP continues to strongly recommend that OA network ports be separate from your production network.

      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General **
          * Previous versions logged transient network link status changes for the OA, servers and interconnects.  For example:  
      Apr 30 06:48:17 OA: Network link to server 6 is down  
      Apr 30 06:49:02 OA: Network link to server 6 is up
      
        * **Thermals**
          * OA 3.5x firmware versions track cumulative fan communication errors during continuous OA uptime.  Once a default threshold of cumulative errors is exceeded, the fan is marked as failed.  Some Active Cool 200 fans experience intermittent fan communication failures that will trigger this failure typically within 3 months of continuous operation, although the fans are otherwise operating normally.  Version 3.60 implements a different algorithm that avoids marking false failures with this generation of fans.  See Customer Advisory c03395857 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03395857>.
        * **IPv6**
          * Alertmail now works with IPv6.
          * The DHCPv6 lease was reset each time the OA network was restarted by an OA reboot or other network configuration changes. This resulted in the OA inadvertently failing to request its existing IPv6 address when attempting to renew its IPv6 address via DHCP and typically receiving a different IPv6 address each renewal.
          * Under some conditions, users were unable to add a second IPv6 static address or to remove static IPv6 addresses thru the WEB GUI.
          * When the user specified both the Standby IPv6 DNS Server 1 and IPv6 DNS Server 2 thru the OA WEB GUI, the information for IPv6 DNS Server 1 was inadvertently discarded.

  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Firmware Additions**
          * **FIPS**
            * FIPS, or _Federal Information Processing Standards_, is a set of publications that document standards for implementing security. More information can be found on "National Institute of Standards and Technology" website <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html>. OA 3.70 provides a user selectable FIPS Mode of operation wherein: 
              * only FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms such as AES, 3DES and SHA are permitted,
              * strong passwords are enforced,
              * integrity self-tests are performed whenever encryption services are used (Known Answer Tests - KATs),
              * and partition integrity checks on boot are performed.
            * Enabling FIPS mode on an OA module or redundant pair of OA modules automatically forces the OA module(s) to be reset to factory defaults due to FIPS requirements. Please configure the OA module(s) for FIPS mode operation prior to performing any other enclosure or OA configuration including configuration of Virtual Connect.
            * Some features are permanently disabled in FIPS mode for compliance reasons: 
              * Telnet access
              * Enclosure IP mode
              * SNMP
              * OA Firmware downgrades
              * Set Factory Defaults
              * Upload support dumps
              * Disable strong passwords
              * Disable LCD PIN protection
            * The default security settings in OA 3.70 have been upgraded and are now equivalent to prior version's "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting. The "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting has been removed from OA 3.70.
            * Upon changing FIPS modes, all security related data is cleared from the OA, including certificates, keys, and other critical security parameters. Please refer to the security section in the Onboard Administrator user guide for more information.
            * FIPS is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: 
              * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21)
              * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21)
          * **GUI**
            * Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) is supported in compatibility mode only.  The IE 10 "Windows 8 - Style UI Mode" is not supported.
            * OA GUI Management Console now allows login to 6Gb SAS Interconnect module Interfaces if VLANs are defined for the Interconnect modules.
          * **IPv6**
            * OA 3.70 adds a group box in the Management Processor Information tab on the iLO - Device Bay page, where a radio button is displayed to allow selection of the current IPv4 address and all IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO.

      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * Partnering alert on HP BladeSystem Insight Display LCD may not be cleared. See Customer Advisory c03801002 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03801002>.
          * When running OA firmware versions 3.6x or 3.7x with the OA deployed in a large, flat management network topology, the OA reboots after logging an OA system log similar to the following: 
            * Nov 11 22:04:54 Kernel: Out of Memory: Kill process 10562 (iptables) score 822 and children.
          * KVM connections to iLO 2 server blades would fail if the default Remote Control Telnet port was changed in iLO.
          * HP Insight Management does not properly report partnered blades installed in lower slots when associated with a full height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL680c. This issues does not occur when the partner blade is associated with a half height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL460c.
          * Insight Display reports a config error when HP Integrity BL890c i2, HP Integrity BL870c i2, or  HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blades are paired with a tape storage blade.
          * OA 'Link loss failover' does not function properly after performing OA FW SYNC.
          * Primary OA would stop responding to network requests with a "HTTP service is unresponsive" error message under certain management network configurations.
          * The OA firmware behavior related to downloading files via a URL specifying authenticated FTP as the protocol has changed.  This new behavior results in the home directory of the specified user being used as the relative root path in the URL.  A double "//" must now be specified at the beginning of the path specification within the URL in order to specify an absolute path that avoids the use of the specified user's home directory in the path.  For example: "ftp://user:password@host//path/to/file" will specify an absolute path of /path/to/file while "ftp://user:password@host/path/to/file" will specify a path to /home/user/path/to/file.
        * **Alertmail**
          * False alertmail messages are sent indicating the enclosures status as degraded followed by another message indicating the status has changed to OK.
        * **Authentication**
          * When the OA is enabled for Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates, previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection.  The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates.
          * OA reboots with a segmentation violation when uploading a user certificate with an invalid certificate authority (CA) path.
        * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
          * The OA EFM configuration would be improperly configured after restoring a previously saved OA configuration script.
          * When observing the EFM update process from a server blade console, note that manual user interaction with any user dialog screens presented can cause the EFM process for that server blade to fail.
        * **FIPS**
          * When FIPS mode has been enabled for the OA module(s) within an enclosure and a redundant OA which does not have FIPS mode enabled is later introduced into the enclosure, the current FIPS mode configuration will not be successfully synchronized to this newly introduced OA module.  To work around this issue, it is recommended that the OA module be reset to factory defaults prior to being introduced into a redundant OA configuration where FIPS mode has been enabled.
          * When FIPS mode is enabled for a redundant OA configuration, the automatic synchronization of FIPS mode configuration from the active to the standby OA module will trigger a reset of the standby OA module to factory defaults.  This operation will be incorrectly recorded in the OA syslog as having been performed by the "Insight Display" user.
        * **GUI**
          * Script error displayed on flashing OA 
            * Issue 1: An alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" may occur if connectivity to the OA is lost. This can be safely ignored, and the user can sign in after the connection is restored.
            * Issue 2: An alert titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" may occur on a remote GUI session when flashing the OA. This may be safely ignored.
        * **Integrity Server Blades**
          * Under rare circumstances, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade installed in a HP BLc7000 Enclosure configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover.  See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140>
        * **Interconnects**
          * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. 
          * Some BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to connect or may experience excessive errors in certain scenarios after an I/O module is inserted into an enclosure that is already operating with OA firmware 3.6x/3.7x. See Customer Advisory c03811228 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03811228>
        * **LDAP**
          * Enhanced LDAP authorization to distinguish the same user name in different LDAP Groups.
        * **OA Upgrade**
          * The OA flash process completes successfully although 88% is the highest percentage reported.
        * **Power**
          * The OA would incorrectly display an 'AC Subsystem Overload' alert message due to a transient power condition related to the Dynamic Power Saving mode.
          * SHOW POWER CLI output does not immediately reflect power configuration changes made by SET POWER MODE
        * **SNMP**
          * The OA reboots with an out of memory condition due to many SNMP MIB Walk requests after being active for long periods of time.
          * SNMP not accessible from standby OA IP with OA 3.56 through OA 3.60.
        * **VLAN**
          * Slow OA and virtual media access with 3.60 and later when VLAN functionality is enabled.
          * OA firmware sync feature does not work when VLAN is enabled.

            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to include sub-tree search of the configured search contexts.
            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to perform sub-tree search at specified search contexts.
          * **Enclosure iLO Federation**
            * In versions of OA firmware prior to OA 4.11, ILOs within an enclosure were not able to communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion.  If you wish to enable iLO Federation between blades in an individual enclosure, the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option in the OA must first be enabled. In addition to enabling this support for the enclosure, you must also enable the necessary support individually for any desired blades through the iLO user interfaces.  The Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option is enabled by default. Please ensure that this setting is disabled if there are any concerns with enabling peer-to-peer communication between iLOs within the enclosure.  The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands.
          * **FIPS**
            * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting.
          * **HP Insight Remote Support**
            * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration.
            * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode.
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses.
            * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands.
          * **Security**
            * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol.
            * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default. Support for "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option was disabled in OA 4.01 by default. This can be disabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command if required. Note that updating to OA 4.11 will not change the current setting but resetting the OA factory default settings will result in"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" key exchange being enabled. Any saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
        * **Browser Support**
          * Updated web browser support as follows: 
            * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
            * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
            * Google Chrome.

            * Added Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) link support for accessing iLOs and Interconnects. 
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA fully supports operation in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6-only management network including management of IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices such as iLO and interconnect modules. To use IPv6 networking, you should review the  OA IPv6 settings and customize them as necessary for your specific IPv6 environment. Note that if routing between IPv6 management networks is required, the routing configuration of the OA and enclosure infrastructure devices may be performed either via external IPv6 router advertisements or, starting with OA 4.20, via static configuration of an IPv6 gateway. After completing the necessary IPv6 configuration of the OA, you may then access any IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices via its supported user interfaces and perform management actions from the OA.
            * Modified factory default state of IPv6 enclosure level settings (IPv6, DHCPv6, and SLAAC) from "disabled" to "enabled" by default to better support default connectivity to the OA in IPv6-only management network environments. Note that updating to OA 4.20 will not change the configuration of these settings but any subsequent reset to factory defaults will result in these settings being enabled. Any previously saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
            * Added support for configuration of a static IPv6 gateway as an addition to the previously existing static IPv6 network settings for the OA module.
            * Added support for configuration of an IPv6 gateway for blade server iLOs and interconnect modules via the Enclosure Bay IP Addressing for IPv6 feature.
          * **Interconnects**
            * Added two new CLI commands to support the "BLc SX1018HP" switch only: 
              * SET INTERCONNECT ADMIN_PASSWORD FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - resets the Interconnect management password back to the factory setting.
              * SET INTERCONNECT FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - performs a factory reset on the Interconnect.
          * **SNMP**
            * In some instances, SNMP changes successfully configured from the OA user interface can fail to be processed properly most notably resulting in the OA failing to send SNMP traps to configured SNMP alert destinations.  
      
      
        * **Browser Support **
          * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
          * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
          * Google Chrome.

        * **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.

      **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.

        * 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.

  -      **General**
        *     * Cipher suites are now configured and displayed using their RFC 5246 standardized names. 
        * **EFM**
          * The maximum valid length of the Firmware Management ISO URL has been increased to 511 characters. o   **FIPS** This version of the OA addresses FIPS 140-2 certification requirements and is in the In Process list located at <http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf>. Added support for FIPS 186-4 approved RSA key generation used in SSL/SSH keys and certificates    Added support for the cipher TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Upgrading to this version of OA will replace old DSA keys with 2048-bit RSA keys to meet FIPS 140-2 requirements 
          * Replaced the MD5 password hashing algorithm with the stronger SHA256 algorithm when the Onboard Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  As a result of this change, OA 4.40 supports a maximum of 21 local users in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  
          * Prevention of 1024-bit SSH/SSL key generation.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Devices with MAC addresses ending with "81:00" (such as f8:66:f2:6d:81:00) were unable to communicate with the OA. Some examples of the observed symptoms were:
      Attempts to ping the OA from the device fail The OA cannot use such a device
      as a gateway The OA GUI and CLI cannot be used from this device
      
        * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account that had OA administrator level privileges.This problem only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.    o   When running OA firmware 4.0x, 4.1x, or 4.2x, the OA could erroneously report fans and/or power supplies as missing or failed even though they were not physically removed or failed.  When this issue occurred, after a few seconds the affected fans and/or power supplies would reappear as normal. There are no known functional impacts associated with this issue other than associated brief status reporting anamolies.  o   When the CLI CONNECT SERVER command is issued to connect to the server as an LDAP user, the text console session opens successfully but the "wget: not an http,https or ftp url: http:/<IP Address> /xmldata?item=cpqkey" message is displayed.  o   In rare cases, the following message was logged in the Standby OA syslog during a redundancy role transition initiated by the CLI FORCE TAKEOVER command: "CERTS: Failed to open flash"
      This had no functional impact; the entry could be ignored.  
      **Documentation**
      
        * In the September 2014 (Edition 23) HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator CLI User Guide for OA 4.30, within the description of the SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command, a command showing recommended values had the BODY MINRATE value as 50 instead of the correct value 500. The command with the correct recommended values is as follows: SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT HEADER 3-8 MINRATE 500 BODY 5-10 MINRATE 500
      This error was corrected in the October 2014 (Edition 24) document.  
        **EFM**
      
        * In rare cases, the Active OA module would reboot expectedly during the update of the OA firmware on redundant OA modules.  When this issue occurred, the Active OA module would reboot during the transfer of the OA firmware image to the Standby OA module.  The OA firmware update would fail to complete successfully; a segmentation fault (SEGV) error would be logged in the Active OA system log.  This issue did not cause any firmware or data corruption, and the OA firmware update could be successful if retried following the occurrence of this issue. Note that this issue could only be encountered when updating OA modules running OA 4.30 firmware.  o   Attempts to update the firmware failed on an HP ProLiant Gen9 server blade configured in UEFI Boot Mode or UEFI Optimized Boot Mode. When this failure occurred, the firmware log for the blade server would indicate an error similar to the following for each update attempt, including the two automatic retries that occur on failure: Jul 15 09:34:19 Unable to detect ISOLINUX booting. A final status report similar to the following would also be issued:
      Jul 15 10:30:33 Firmware Management is incomplete on blade <bay number>.
      
        * When using an HP Firmware Management ISO image based on a URL that includes the HTTP port (for example, <http://10.226.36.35:8080/bp-151ilo-2014-08-26-1.iso>),  EFM failed to mount the image. The following error message would be displayed: Unable to mount ISO or validate version information. The URL or ISO is invalid.   CLI commands affected include those that depend on the URL specification via the SET FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT URL command (such as the UPDATE FIRMWARE SERVER command and the UPDATE IMAGE FW_ISO command).** ** o   The EFM firmware log would indicate "Firmware Management successfully completed on blade x" even if the iLO firmware update failed to complete successfully. 
       **IPv6**
      
        * Configuration scripts could not be applied to another OA properly when attempting to configure new EBIPA DNS IPv4/IPv6 addresses or IPv6 routes. Attempts to change the configurations could only add new addresses to those of the previous configuration. It was not possible to replace the existing addresses with the new ones. The following CLI commands now include the ALL keyword to allow clearing of all unwanted addresses or routes:
        * REMOVE EBIPA SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE EBIPAV6 SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE OA ROUTE IPV6 <ACTIVE|STANDBY> ALL
      A configuration script can now use these commands to clear the previous
      (unwanted) EBIPA DNS IP addresses and IPv6 static routes, and then add the new
      ones.  
        **KVM**
      
        * Pressing **Enter** four times consecutively on a keyboard attached to the c7000 Enclosure integrated KVM module would cause the highlighted blade server on the KVM screen to power off or on, depending on its current power state. This issue has been fixed by interchanging the **Ok**/**Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons on the **Confirm: Change Server Power** and **Change Server Power** screens so that the **Cancel** button is highlighted by default instead of the **OK** or **Confirm** button. The default focus is set on the **Cancel** button.
        **Security**
      
        * The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:   
        * CVE-2014-3511: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching man-in-the-middle attacks to force the use of TSL 1.0 instead of the intended later version of TLS. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 ([https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546).](https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546\).# \(QXCR1001370888\))
        * CVE-2007-2242: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching denial-of-service attacks via crafted IPv6 type 0 router headers between two routers, resulting in network congestion. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 (<https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546>).
        * CVE-2014-3567: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a DOS denial-of-service (memory consumption) attack via crafted session tickets that triggers an integrity check-failure.
        * CVE-2014-3513: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * CVE-2014-3513: SRTP Memory Leak - a memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (before 1.0.1j) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * This release of the OA resolves this security vulnerability by compiling OpenSSl with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP (the OA does not use DTLS and SRTP). 
        * CVE-2014-0139: A vulnerability affecting SSL/TLS transactions that might allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certificate Authority.
        * [CVE-2014-0015](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0015): A vulnerability when more than one authentication method is enabled and NTLM connections are reused, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.
        * CVE-2014-0138: A vulnerability affecting certain LDAP connections that might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request (similar to issue CVE-2014-0015).
        * [CVE-2014-2522](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2522): A vulnerability when running on Windows and using an SChannel/Winssl TLS backend. When accessing a URL that uses a numerical IP address, curl does not verify that the server host name matches a domain name in the subject's CN or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. 
        * In addition, OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.0.1h to address multiple CVE fixes.
        
       **SSH/SSL keys**
      
        * With OA firmware later than 4.0x, attempts to add an SSH key using the OA CLI ADD SSH KEY command might fail. Intermittently, after issuing the command, the user received an error message ("The submitted file is not a valid SSH key."), in which case the command failed. 
        
      **SNMP** 
      
        * SNMP alerts (or traps) sent from the OA to an IPv6 SNMP alert destination are sent incorrectly to destination port 161 instead of port 162 (per RFC 1157) when no destination port is explicitly specified as part of an IPv6 SNMP alert destination configuration. 
          *  The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account with OA administrator level privileges.  This issue in only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -     Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements:
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies.
      
       Features Additions and Changes
      
        * **General**
          * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
          * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password.
      
       New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD]
      
        * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy.
        * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI.
        * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition
        * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action.
        * **Remote Support**
          * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures.
          * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery.
        * **EFM**
          * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state.
          * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up.
          * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -      **General**
        * Fixed an issue which was seen when connecting to the OA from HP SIM using a LDAP account with the user name containing an exclamation character (!) for the SSO.
        * Fixed an issue where LDAP search contexts are showing empty after firmware is upgraded in FIPS Mode.
        * Fixed an issue where a customer logging in to OA using AD/LDAP credentials as a member of both Domain Administrators and Domain Users groups, and where one enclosure is given Domain Administrators access to the full administrative rights of the enclosure, and the other is given Domain Users limited access
        * Corrected a display issue where iLO logs listed in OA shows the order of events sorted incorrectly when the events are more than a year old. The events are displayed sorted on the month and hence events that occurred in the same month in two different years are incorrectly displayed together. The sorting now considers the year also.
        * Fixed an issue where the Device Bay Information page does not show the Management Processor/iLO NIC details under the Server NIC Information table, when the server is powered down.
        * Fixed an issue where OA reports incorrect values for Caution and Critical temperature limits when a blade is in Telco Mode.
        * Addressed an issue where Connect Server Serial command used to fail when server
        * **FIPS**
          * Fixed an issue which prevented transition to FIPS mode OFF when the enclosure is in FIPS-Degraded state. The same failure was seen when the transition was performed on a linked enclosure which was in FIPS-Degraded state. The issue has been addressed and the FIPS mode transition is allowed.
        * **EFM**
          * Addressed issues that would result in EFM failure with the following error messages: 
            * Failed to boot ISO
            * Unable to Monitor HPSUM
        * **Security**
      
             The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2015-0204 - A remote server can supply a weak RSA temporary key for a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite to downgrade the session security.
        * CVE-2015-0286 - A vulnerability in ASN1_TYPE_cmp function can be exploited to launch a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by causing a crash during certificate validation operation.
        * CVE-2015-3144 - A vulnerability can be exploited to allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact.
        * CVE-2015-3153 - The default CURL configuration sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents.
        * CVE-2015-2922 - A vulnerability in the Linux kernel can be exploited by sending a crafted Router Advertisement message and setting a low IPV6 hop limit and in turn cause DoS (Denial of Service).
        * CVE-2015-1789 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted length field in ASN1_TIME data.
        * CVE-2015-1791 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.60
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed.
        * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled .
        * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset.
        * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements.
        * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER.
        * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed.
        * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP".
        * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off".
        * **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via  any field in crafted serialized data
        * CVE-2015-8605 - UDP payload length not properly checked. Addressed a vulnerability where a badly formed packet with an invalid IPv4 UDP length field can cause a DHCP server, client, or relay program to terminate abnormally.
        * CVE-2012-3954 - Fixed a memory leak issue in DHCPv6 daemon that could result in out of memory condition in OA.
        * CVE-2016-0797 and CVE-2016-0799 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that could enable security attacks by passing large amount of untrusted data to certain functions in OpenSSL.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.70
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.
        * 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

      Features**: additions and changes**
      
      **General**
      
        * Onboard Administrator has been enhanced to allow configuring an IPv6 address as SNMP EngineID.
        * Onboard Administrator has been enhanced to allow configuring a user defined SSH port number. This will allow users to configure a non-standard SSH port instead of the default SSH port 22.
      
      ** Security**
      
      General Data Protection Requirements (GDPR) support added in Onboard
      Administrator for HPE Embedded Remote Support solution. The HPE passport
      username will now be stored in an encrypted form.

      **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.

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.

                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.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.18
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Unable to change cache read/write ratio following a cold boot.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.34
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * When a server was running and power was removed and then re-applied to an HP D3600/D3700, the controller would cease to function (POST Lockup 0xAB).
        * Following a reboot, SATA drives in Bay 1 and Bay 2 of an HP D3600/D3700 may fail to be discovered (leading to any configured LUN's using these bays to go into interim recovery mode).
        * When running HP SmartCache and doing repeated blackout/power loss write cache backups, the controller would cease to function (POST Lockup 0x13).

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * When a server was running and power was removed and then re-applied to an HP D6000, the controller may cease to function (POST Lockup 0xAB).
        * Following a reboot, SATA drives in Bay 1 and Bay 2 of an HP D6000 may fail to be discovered, leading to any configured LUN's using these bays to go into interim recovery mode.
        * If a power-outage or brownout occurs while running HP SmartCache, the controller may cease to function on the following boot (POST Lockup 0x13).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.14
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * Servers now power up faster due to improvements in the UEFI controller driver.
        * Logical volume transformations are allowed on controllers without data preservation.
        * Drives can now be hot-added in a zoned configuration.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.14
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Critical issue for all UEFI systems using 2.2 TB or greater volumes configured with GPT partitions. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # [c04602001](http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04602001)
        * When rebuilding a logical volume greater than 2TB in size, the controller might cease to function (POST Lockup 0xE0). Controller would report a POST Lockup 0xE0 error and cease to function, when the following conditions were met:
      
                       1) Encryption enabled and a re-key operation was in progress.  
                       2) While IO was in progress, physical drives failed in an Advanced Data Guarding (RAID6 or RAID60) volume, which caused the volume to go into a degraded state.  
                       3) Degraded Mode Performance Optimization was enabled via HP Smart Storage Administrator.
      
        * If a power outage or brownout occurred while running a volume expansion, the controller might cease to function on the following boot (POST Lockup 0x13).
        * HP D2600/D2700 Disk Enclosures might not show the correct box number on the LED display.
        * Controller might become unresponsive if a drive was re-inserted into encrypted LUN while performing IO on it.
        * When running IO with encryption turned on in remote mode and a local key cache enabled, changing the master key might result in encryption being disabled on the next power up.
        * Controller allowed encryption key changes even with locked volumes.
        * A key restore from an Enterprise Secure Key Manager could take a long time for large configurations.
        * Users were unable to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Update 5 to a logical volume on an HP P2000 MSA Array System if both an HP H241 and H240 Smart Host Bus Adapter were present in the system.
        * When HP D3700 Disk Enclosures were connected to an HP H240 Smart Host Bus Adapter, the maximum number of enclosures displayed in the boot menu was five, although a maximum of eight enclosures were supported.
        * When a volume expansion or encryption re-key operation was performed, and if multiple power losses or brownouts occurred, data might become inaccessible (POST Message 1769).
        * POST messages 1764, 1768, 1784, 1786, 1787, 1789, 1831 have been updated and/or corrected.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.52
changelog:
  -      Improved performance by limiting Surface Scan frequency to once every 14 days
        * Increased performance for tape drives when using variable block sizes
        * Updated type and quantity of information logged to the Active Health System log
        * Added support for the following: 
          * Check for drive firmware update needed on hot-plugged devices
          * Non-disruptive online drive firmware updates for supported SATA drives
          * Microsoft Storage Spaces
          * HP MSA 1040 external RAID enclosure
          * Third party external RAID enclosures


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.52
changelog:
  -      If an HP Smart Array controller is configured with HP SmartCache, upgrade the controller to firmware version 2.52 to avoid a possible lockup (POST lockup 0x13)
        * System fans might run at maximum speed
        * System might be unable to boot from volumes on HP MSA 2040 SAS enclosures
        * Physical drives might be repeated in the UEFI one-time boot menu
        * Installation of a custom Linux ISO might fail to boot with "error: can't allocate initrd"
        * Controller might stop responding at power up with encryption enabled (POST Lockup 0x13)
        * System might stop responding when sending high numbers of non-NCQ commands to SATA drives behind H-series cards (POST Lockup 0x13)
        * System might stop responding following the hot-removal of a drive from a fault tolerant volume (POST Lockup 0xAB)
        * System might be unable to downgrade controller firmware via UEFI flashing tool
        * If a Smart Array controller with firmware version 2.14 was running in HBA mode and the drives that were connected were previously configured in a LUN, an 1832 POST message was not displayed. Refer to Customer Advisory [c04635824](http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04635824) for additional information about this issue.
        * Certain POST messages displayed although the error conditions were not present. The Smart Array Controller firmware has been hardened to reduce the likelihood of these false error messages occurring: 
          * POST 1784, which indicated a logical drive failure
          * POST 1795, which indicated a write-back-cache error and disabled cache
