      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 series Processors, Intel Xeon
      E3-1200 v6 series Processors, 6th Generation Intel Core i3 Processors, 7th
      Generation Intel Core i3 Processors, and Intel Pentium Processor G Series
      Processors in which a complex number of concurrent micro-architectural
      conditions may result in unpredictable system behavior when Intel
      Hyperthreading is enabled. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated
      version of Intel's microcode for these processors that addresses this issue.
      The issue requires short loops of less than 64 instructions that use the AH,
      BH, CH, or DH registers as well as their corresponding wider registers (e.g.
      RAX, EAX, or AX for AH) when both logical processors on the same physical
      processor core are active. This issue is not unique to HPE ProLiant servers
      and could impact any system utilizing affected processors which do not include
      the updated microcode. 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 for systems with Intel Hyperthreading enabled (which is the
      default for systems using processors which support Intel Hyperthreading).

      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue, that can result in a network outage, when a profile is created with duplicate multiple networks.   
            Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage.   
            Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI).   
            Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces.   
            Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV.   
            Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed.  
            Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM.
      
      **Known Issues:  
      **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration'   
            When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has.   
            If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below:   
                 
               Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44,   
               SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2   
                 
               The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are:   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1   
                 
               These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary:   
               cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5)   
               cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2)   
                 
            When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address.   
            When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server.

      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure.   
            Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS.   
            Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage.   
            Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen.   
            Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery.   
            Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity.   
            Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module.  
            Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command.   
            Resolved an issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version information did not display correctly on the OA rack firmware page. This resolution requires OA version 3.30.   
            Resolved an issue with VC Manager failing to retrieve configuration generation number from VC Ethernet Module.   
            Resolved an issue where the network nativelan setting cleared after adding another network.   
            Resolved an issue where an hpvcm_deleteManagedObjects return code error occurred when deleting a profile.   
            Resolved an issue that delayed the startup time on an enclosure with eight Flex-10/FlexFabric modules.   
            Resolved a performance issue where adding a single network caused an update of all configured networks.   
            Resolved an issue where firmware details did not display on a Firefox browser window.   
            Resolved an issue where FCoE login took longer than expected when changing between fabrics.   
            Resolved an issue where the VCM CLI command "set enet-vlan" did not return an error for the command "set enet-vlan VlanTagControl=Tunnel SharedServerVlanId=true".   
            Resolved an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blade issue where there were problems disconnecting Flex-10 ports with I/O modules that do not support Flex-10, which could result in disabled network ports appearing as enabled.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where titles on the Device Bay Summary screen were not displayed consistently.   
            Resolved an issue where an SNMP trap configuration with only FC traps selected could not have an associated set of severities.   
            Resolved an issue where an error was not indicated for login redistribution for a degraded/failed SAN in external connections.  
            Resolved a GUI issue for HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blades where the entries in the Server Ethernet Adapter Information table did not properly collapse and expand.  
            Resolved an issue found in an Integrity FlexFabric environment where the HP-UX boot path was lost while unassigning and reassigning a profile.  
            Resolved an issue for a race condition between module recovery and enclosure recovery when an enclosure was recovering from an enclosure NO-COMM condition.  
            Resolved an issue when recovering from a module NO-COMM state where the correct module state is properly tracked to avoid unnecessary failure for LANIO calls and GenNumber requests.  
            Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version is displayed as "Not Available" in OA, but VCM has the correct firmware version information.  
            Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the DHCP client in the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware became corrupted, causing the FC module to stop responding to VCM, resulting in a NO-COMM state.  
            Resolved an issue when VC modules coming out of NO-COMM state, they may not be in sync with each other, which will result in unexpected additional module failures.  
            Resolved a restriction where customers need to put the VC domain in VCEM maintenance mode in order to get the support dump.  
            Resolved an issue where the GUI will state that the event manager registration has expired and then the user is logged out of the GUI unexpectedly.  
            Resolved an FC connection outage due to a failure of the Virtual Connect Flex Fabric primary module.  During the Backup Module recovery, the error caused a full Virtual Connect reset and recovery which created the outage.  
            Resolved an issue with growing memory utilization on HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet modules when Blades are in a PXE Boot loop.  
            Resolved an issue with a small memory leak found in stpd when handling of subport MED data update notices.  
            Resolved an issue where a VC domain will get into NO-COMM state after performing OA failover and then fail back.  
            Resolved an issue where the Private Networks filter rules were not updated when LAG (Link Aggregation Group) membership changes.  
            Resolved an issue where when a module recovers from NO-COMM state, the stacking links will show failed status even though there is no real operational problem.  
            Made adjustment for the Maximum RSS memory limit for graceful VC management process shutdown.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.00
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 6.00:**  
      This firmware release resolved the following issues:
      
        * When executing kdump on systems running in Zero Memory RAID (ZMR) mode, the controller might halt.
        * When an HP Smart Array P420 controller was attached to both an expander backplane and non-expander backplane, the controller would not properly control SmartCarrier LEDs.
        * Chkdsk was running slowly.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.00-2.1
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features for 6.00 (B):**
      
        * Added support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.10
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * The controller would report 0xE0 error to HP Smart Storage Administrator and would cease to function when set to RAID 6 mode.
        * Intermittent SSD SATA 6G drive failure in Bay 1 of the HP ProLiant BL465 Gen8 Server.
        * Uncorrectable ECC errors causing controller to hang (Lockup 0x13).  Smart Array firmware calculates the maximum controller memory bandwidth required to sustain streaming write operations with the current logical drive configuration and reduces the cache memory speed on configurations that do not require peak controller memory bandwidth.  When running at the slower memory speed, less power is consumed and performance degradation is expected to be negligible.

        * When a controller was set to RAID6 mode and a large number of recoverable errors were generated by hard disk drives in the system, the controller might go into a degraded mode and cease to function. A 0x0E error message would display during POST on subsequent power cycle and in the Integrated Management Log (IML)
        * The controller would report 0xE0 error to HP Smart Storage Administrator (HP SSA) and would cease to function when set to RAID 6 mode
        * Intermittent SSD SATA 6G drive failures would occur when drive was configured in Bay 1 of HP ProLiant BL465 Gen8 Server
        * Uncorrectable ECC errors would cause the controller to stop responding (Lockup 0x13).  This version of Smart Array firmware properly calculates the maximum controller memory bandwidth required to sustain streaming write operations with the current logical drive configuration and reduces the cache memory speed on configurations that do not require peak controller memory bandwidth.  When running at the slower memory speed, less power is consumed and performance degradation is expected to be negligible.
