      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest
      OS utilizing 32-bit PAE Paging Mode. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant
      servers and could impact any system utilizing affected processors operating
      with the conditions listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains an
      updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. Due to the
      potential severity of the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM,
      this System ROM upgrade is considered a critical fix.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPGC prevents this condition from occurring.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPGC-2.1
changelog:
  -      **Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported. Only offline firmware flashing of drives is supported for these configurations.**
        * ****Online drive firmware update available for Smart Array Controllers configured in systems running supported Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware environments. All other OSes would require an offline update using the SPP and HP SUM.****
        * **Customers who already installed firmware version HPGC do not need to update to HPGC(B).**


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPGC-2.1
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPGC prevents this condition from occurring.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> HPGE
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * Corrected a medium level assert that can occur when the host issues resets after >250ms  of idle time. If a drive is affected by the issue, it might display reduced performance and possibly would cease to operate. A hot plug removal and insertion of the affected drive temporarily resolves this issue. Update to drive firmware version HPGE to resolve this issue.
