      **New features and changes included in version 16.31.1200:**
      
        * 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.
        * 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.

        * Fixes an issue that caused the DCR 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.
        * Fixed n issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to report port icrc errors.
      
      **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.

      **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.

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

      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.35.1012:**
      
        * RDE (Redfish) PATCH operation to LLDPTransmit properties "ManagementAddressIPv4", "ManagementAddressIPv6" and "ManagementAddressMAC" were applied only in the first attempt, but failed in the next.
        * PLDM AEN event receiver media was changed unexpectedly and destination BDF was overridden with garbage when some PLDM packet were received from the SMBus layer.
        * Bad configuration of number of VFs and SFs led to the consumption of too many functions and triggered a FW assert 0x888E. The reduction flows behavior was fixed to ensure the configuration does not exceed the total number of supported functions. 
        * InfiniBand L2 QP could not receive RDMA traffic occasionally.
        * Running with a debug firmware reduced security as if token was applied.

changelog:
  -     *New features and Changes added in firmware version 20.27.1016:**
      
        * RoCE Selective Repeat : This feature introduces a new QP (Queue Pair) retransmission mode in RoCE: recovery from packet drop by resending the dropped packet and not only all the PSN window (Go-Back-N protocol),  
      This new capability comes with the following limitations:
      
          * Selective repeat cannot be used with AR.
          * Does not work with signature (T10-DIF).
          * Does not work with Tag Matching enabled.
        * Allows BMC (Board Management Control) to query and control NIC over RedFish API. Currently, the NIC supports reading data and setting basic Ethernet and InfiniBand parameters.
        * Enables matching of source_vhca_port in the FDB also known as FIB ( Forwarding Information Base) flow for ECMP (Equal Cost Multi Pathing) hardware offload on a single FDB.
        * Firmware can be now updated as well as DB strings while performing Live Firmware Patch.
        * 100GbE link speed is supported in Auto-Negotiation Mode.
        * 200GbE link speed is supported in Force Mode.
        * Added support for the following: 
          * Dumping hardware steering entries (raw data) using the resource dump API
          * A new field in the PTYS register (max_port_rate).
          * Relaxed ordering read when using the create_mkey flag
          * DCQCN (Data Center and Quantized Congestion Notification) Congestion Control to ConnectX-6 InfiniBand adapter cards to improve application performance in case of congestion in the network.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 20.27.1016:**
      
        * The Adapter card used to get stuck in "polling" state after resetting/power cycling the card.
        * Fixed a PCIe PLL (Phase Locked Loop) varactor calibration logic to address potential silicone variations.
        * An issue that caused the ZTR (Zero Touch RoCE) counters query to always return 0.

changelog:
  -     *New Features and Changes in Version 20.27.2008:**
      
        * 200GbE speed rate is at GA level.
        * All Ethernet speeds at GA level including PAM4(Pulse Amplitude Modulation) vs NRZ (non-return-to-zero)and speed detection.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.4
changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.27.2008:**
      
        * CWDM4(Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing) Acousto Optical Modulator(AOM) cable was not supported.
        * Links between ConnectX-6 adapter cards and Spectrum-2 SN3700 switch systems did not come up when using Cisco BiDi module at 100GbE link speed.
        * Occasionally, the link was not raised when working with split 2x100 mode with Optical cables.
        * The PCIe Tx parameters did not load correctly when the speed was changed after the PCIe link was disabled.
        * The desched_threshold field did not work properly.
        * The "roce_adp_retrans" counter was presenting the values of the "local_ack_timeout_err" counter.
        * If Relaxed Ordering was disabled by running the "setpci" command, it would not be functional even after re-enabling it by running the "setpci" command again.
        * Aligned the User Memory page to 2, e.g., the user should use 8k aligned (like 0, 8k, 16k etc., instead of 0, 4k, 12k etc.).
        * NRZ (non-return-to-zero) and PAM4 (Pulse amplitude modulation) Limitations in 100GbE adapter cards: 
          * The default configuration was NRZ speeds in Auto-Neg mode.
          * PAM4 speeds had to be set manually (using the MFT tool - mlxlink).
          * PAM4 speeds had to be configured as single speeds: 50G_1x or 100G_2x.
          * 200G_4x optical cables (including 200G_4x splitter cable) would raise link only after manual configuration of PAM4 speeds (50G_1x or 100G_2x).
        * NRZ and PAM4 Limitations in 200GbE adapter cards: 
          * The default configuration was 200G_x4 in Force mode.
          * NRZ speeds had to be set manually. Configuration could include multiple NRZ speeds (using the MFT tool - mlxlink).
          * PAM4 speeds had to be configured as single speeds: 50G_1x or 100G_2x or 200G_4x.
        * In Ethernet mode, at 25/50/100GbE speeds, only RS-FEC in Force mode was supported. Other user configurations were overridden.

      **New Features and Changes in Version 20.29.1016:**
      
      Added support for following features:
      
        * LinkX module burning via MFT toolset. The new capability enables direct firmware burning from the internal flash storage to reduce the bandwidth and accelerate the burning process, including burning several modules at a time.
        * An option to allow applications to build their own QoS tree over the NIC hierarchy by connecting QPs to responder/requestor Queue Groups.
        * Improved NRZ link performance (RX algorithm).
        * Improved NRZ link-up time (25G(G@G speeds).
        * Enabled the options to control different Tx sets for the same attribute when connecting a Mellanox-Mellanox vs Mellanox to 3rd party HCA.
        * "InfiniBand" properties set to the Network Device Function Redfish object.
        * Direct Packet Placement (DPP): DPP is a receive side transport service in which the Ethernet packets are scattered to the memory according to a packet sequence number (PSN) carried by the packet, and not by their arrival order.
        * To enable DPP offload, the software should create a special RQ by using the CREATE_RQ command, and set DPP relevant attributes.
        * Added trust level for VFs. Once the VF is trusted, it will get a set of trusted capabilities.
        * UCX can now enable AR by exposing Out-Of-Ordering bitmask per SL with "ooo_per_sl" field in the HCA_VPORT context. It can be also queried by running the QUERY_HCA_VPORT_CONTEXT command.
        * Enhanced IB Congestion Control to support lower minimum rate. Now it uses destination-lid to classify flows to handle larger scale, and achieve better results in GPCNeT benchmark.
        * Hardware steering dump output used for debugging and troubleshooting.

        * An issue that prevented VXLAN packets with svlan/cvlan tag from being matched.
        * The eth_wqe_too_small counter to count ODP (On-Demand Paging) page used to fail.
        * An issue related to raising 100GbE link on ConnectX-6 VPI 100Gb/s adapter cards.
        * When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled.
        * Low performance occurred after enabling the RoCE Accelerator capability.
        * On rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR.

        * 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.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.31.1014:**
      
        * 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 unresponsive state.
        * 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.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 20.32.1010:**
      
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-HDAT Adapter - P06154-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06250-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06251-B21
      
      **New features and changes included in version 20.32.1010:**
      
        * 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. If 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 per-host 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.
        * Added support for DSFP AOC (CMIS) v4 when error code is not reported by the module.
        * Limited the external loopback speed according to the used module's capabilities.
        * Modified the Effective BER calculation method. Due to this, the value of the Effective BER will be slightly higher, however the link quality remains the same as prior to this change.
        * This firmware version includes the following PCIe changes: 
          * Fixed the ACS Port Number field in DSPs and ACS Egress Control Vector field in DSPs.
          * Added support for VSC on USP of PCIe Switch.
          * Fixed the mapping of Legacy Interrupts in the PCIe Switch.
          * Fixed MRRS & MPS configurations in DSPs.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.32.1010:**
      
        * System could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * Incorrect indication of the PCIe link down in the AER registers on PCIe switch upstream port.
        * Invalid RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * The flash frequency on boot was lower than expected (under 50Mhz). The issue was fixed by enabling the firmware to increase it on boot2 to normal frequency.
        * A race condition between DC QP flush and DC packets that led to stuck slices in the hardware. To avoid such situation, firmware keeps the TCU drop set until QP flush is done.
        * 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.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 20.33.1048:**
      
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-HDAT Adapter - P06154-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653105A-ECAT Adapter - P06250-B21
        * HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port QSFP56 PCIe3 x16 MCX653106A-ECAT Adapter - P06251-B21
      
      **New features and changes included in version 20.33.1048:**
      
        * Added pci_rescan_needed field to the MFRL access register to indicate whether a PCI rescan is needed based on the NV configurations issued by the software.  
      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * 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.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation. 
        * 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. 
        * Crypto features can be in either wrapped or unwrapped mode. Meaning, the key can be wrapped or in plaintext when running the CREATE_DEK PRM command. To comply with the requirements specified in FIPS publication, all the created DEKs must be wrapped.  
      This feature adds new NV_CONFIG per device to control this mode, and enables
      the user to change all the crypto features to wrapped or cleartext.
      
        * 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.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 2.40.5030 and 2.40.5072:**
      
        * Race between the firmware and the hardware during driver start which blocked outbound completions.
        * The firmware did not send link_down event to the driver when running the close_port command.
      
      **Fixes in version 2.42.5000:**
      
        * PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
        * The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
        * The server hangs and results in NMI when running "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
        * In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
        * While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
        * The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
        * ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
        * link did not go up after reboot.
        * Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
        * Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.
      
      **Fixes in version 2.42.5004:**
      
        * In UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) HII (Human Interface Infrastructure) menu, when using HPE Gen10 devices, both ports appear as port 1.
        * In UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) boot menu, when using HPE Gen10 devices,  the device name appears with an unneeded port number.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
       HPE Innovation Engine (IE) Firmware 0.1.4.4 has been removed from the web for
      the following reasons:
      
      1\. Systems could experience a rare issue where processor and memory
      temperatures stop reporting, resulting in increased system fan speeds. This
      issue is seen during a system reboot and is only recovered by another system
      reset. This issue did not exist with previous versions of the Innovation
      Engine Firmware.
      
      2\. Systems configured with Jitter Smoothing support could experience a rare
      issue where on a given boot the functionality does not function. Resetting the
      system typically corrects the issue. This issue did not exist with previous
      versions of the Innovation Engine Firmware.
      
      3\. Systems configured with the Intel Xeon Scalable 6143 Gold and 8165
      Platinum processors with HPE's Core Boosting support enabled could experience
      a rare issue where on a given boot the functionality does not function.
      Resetting the system typically corrects the issue. This issue did not exist

changelog:
  -     \- The iLO SNMP interface will react to excessive activity to SNMP Network
      port 161 to prevent "Denial of Service" type attacks  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host
      operating system, the iLO "Server Name" will be updated. This overwrites the
      information entered in the iLO GUI (same behavior in iLO 3 under Windows)  
      \- The HP SmartMemory Technology is better displayed on the System Information
      Memory page  
      \- There is support for iLO 4 monitoring larger, internally attached storage
      enclosures  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host
      operating system, the host Network Link status will be displayed, even if
      "SNMP Pass-thru" is enabled  
      \- NIC Link Status:  The host OS "network LINK" status will be better
      reflected in the iLO GUI. If no cable is connected to the port AND the NIC is
      disabled by the HOST, the GUI will show "Informational" rather than "Link
      Down"  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host Linux
      operating system, events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) are
      also logged to the Linux "messages" file


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.05
changelog:
  -     \- Feature not supported message was not displayed for all tags for some xml
      scripts

      \- Could not import SSH key via RIBCL if the key is for the Administrator
      account  
      \- Unable to restore the captured file from HPONCFG on Blade Servers  
      \- Incorrect error message when SSH Port was left blank in HPONCFG or XML
      scripts  
      \- IRC session gets disconnected after a minute after booting into the server
      OS  
      \- Possible mismatch representation between ILO CLI and GUI network gateway
      setting  
      \- Physical DVD on HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure might fail to mount
      correctly via Scriptable VM  
      \- No event was logged when SSH Key was deleted

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.22
changelog:
  -      Improved Active Health System logging for newly added log entries.
        * The persistent mouse and keyboard setting can now be configured by using the set_persmouse_status.xml script.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.22
changelog:
  -      Corrected an issue where a spurious power supply event could cause a system to shutdown and record an IML entry due to noise in the power supply presence and status signals.
        * iLO 4 will no longer incorrectly report a failed power supply in the IML  when some power supply insertions are conducted with mismatched power supplies.
        * Corrected a General Power Supply failure message in the IML when there is a power loss or the power cord was not attached to one of the power supplies.
        * Fixed an issue in which iLO Virtual Serial Port Log playback ends too early or too late, preventing logged data from  being displayed, or displaying old data in the wrong location.  The iLO Virtual Serial Port Log playback now stops at the end of the stored data.
        * Corrected a Self-Signed certificate expiration date issue that occurred when iLO is set to the factory default settings after the year 2012.  This may occur if iLO generates a new SSL self-signed certificate after January 18th, 2013.
        * Resolved an issue in which SSH sessions could be abruptly closed, leaving the server side socket in an undetected error condition.  This could lead to no more available SSH sockets until the next iLO reset.

changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:  
       Addressed SSRT101886  
       An iLO kernel crash after 40 or more days of uptime under certain operating
      systems can lead to an operating system crash. When this occurs, the iLO Event
      Log records a "Power restored to iLO" event at the time of the OS crash.  
       iLO might send multiple SNMP traps that show the Smart Array battery falsely
      changing status (SNMP trap ID 11020).  
       iLO firmware updates might stay at 1% and never finish.  
       ADH ciphers are accepted in iLO 4 when AES is enabled.  
       Incorrect information is displayed on the Information > System Information >
      Network page when there are similar MAC addresses.  
       SSDP advertisements have bad signatures and iLO Federation groups don't
      display all peers.  
       Power supply sensors are not illustrated in the Temperature graph.  
       The iLO Event Log reports that a firmware update failed even though the
      firmware was updated successfully with the HP SUM Scalable Update feature.  
       The .NET IRC disconnects unexpectedly when playing a captured video file.  
       The Ping Gateway on Startup network setting does not work.  
       In some cases, running the Advanced Power Capping Microcontroller Firmware
      causes future component updates to fail.  
       The UID LED might stop blinking when the Remote Console is still open after
      a system power cycle.  
       The invalid error "Duplicate record exists" occurs while adding a new
      directory group.  
       A user with the Virtual Power and Reset privilege cannot use the Swap ROM
      feature.  
       DL580 servers report an incorrect Power Redundancy state on removal of a
      power supply cable.  
       Intermittent missing OS name and version in get_server_name response.  
       iLO Dedicated Network Port options are displayed on DL60 servers, which
      support only the Shared Network Port configuration.  
       An incorrect error message is displayed when auto power-off is set via XML
      scripting during POST.  
       The Get_Embedded_Health.xml output displays incorrect iLO NIC information.  
       The user name is not displayed in the iLO Event Log when a Language Pack is
      uninstalled.  
       There is a discrepancy between the iLO web interface and XML scripting when
      an HP SSO record is added by DNS name.  
       The Serial Command Line Speed setting is not saved when the speed is changed
      in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       LDAP does not work after updating from iLO firmware version 1.40 to 1.50.  
       New iLO Federation groups default to the power capping value from a
      previously deleted group.  
       The Link State NIC setting is displayed on the Network General Settings page
      for BL460t servers when this setting is not supported on server blades.  
       SNMP and SNMP trap ports cannot be set without the SNMP_ACCESS tag.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the AlertMail settings are
      changed via RIBCL and CLP.  
       The power redundancy status is incorrect when a mismatched power supply is
      inserted without a power cord.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the Remote Syslog settings
      are changed via RIBCL.  
       An incorrect error message occurs when the server name is set via XML during
      POST.  
       The Asset Tag can be configured via XML when the server is off.  
       An invalid domain name can be configured in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       The iLO 4 Configuration Utility prompts the user to save and reset iLO when
      no change was made.  
       Cert_Request.xml does not display an error when invalid characters are used
      for the state, country and locality.  
       If the Delete SSH Key button is clicked when no SSH key is installed, the
      message "Public Key deleted" is displayed even though there was no installed
      SSH key.  
       When the RESTful Interface Tool is used to display the system ROM version,
      the output incorrectly displays the backup system ROM version.  
       The CLI does not display the oemhp_powercap information when power capping
      is disabled.  
       Multiple incorrect "faulty/unsupported power supply" messages are recorded
      in configurations that use the HP 800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module or the
      HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       Pwrstat displays incorrect power supply status information for the HP
      800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module and the HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       An intermittent virtual CD disconnection occurs during a system reboot.  
        
       Note: To address the "POODLE" security vulnerability, the iLO security policy
      has changed in version 2.03 and SSLv3 is now disabled. You might need to
      enable TLS (Transport Layer Security) in your browser in order to access the
