author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 5.04-3.1
changelog:
  -     *The following fixes were incorporated in this version:**
      
        * The Enabled-ClusterS2D command now completes successfully when executed on a SATA drive within a D3610 disk enclosure for a NonStop solution.
      
        * The smart carrier, which is the drive case for SAS drives, now authenticates in the D3610/D3710 drive enclosure.
      
        * Added new 7-segment error codes E0 and E1 to report issues with Fan modules A and B, respectively. These new codes only apply to the D3610/D3710 and only display when running firmware 5.04.
      
        * If the storage enclosure processor within the I/O module fails, a hard reset (power down and then power up) is executed to ensure the processor comes back online.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.8
changelog:
  -     *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 2.42.5044:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 
      
      **Fixes in version 2.42.5052:**
      
        * Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver's teardown.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 2.42.5044 :**
      
        * An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 14.26.1040:**
      
        * A function was misbehaving when a PCIe TLP was set with a poisoned indication.
        * The "destroy mkey " command was getting stuck when rebooting the hypervisor.
        * The total firmware reset time is increased by 1 second.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 16.26.1040:**
      
        * On rare occasions, when firmware coalesce Host stuck events occur, a async event might be delayed to be reported, and not be triggered until the next time the PCIe hangs on one of the hosts.
        * Unexpected queue pairs transitioned to error in lossy tests.
        * Limited the maximum amount of dumps created on a PF.
        * Renamed the GMP Mellanox Vendor Specific External Capability mask enum from IsDiagnosticCountersSupported to IsDiagnosticDataSupported.
        * Stability issues with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) retransmissions under stress were affecting Zero-Touch-RoCE.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a function to misbehave when a PCIe Transaction Layer Packet (TLP) was set with a poisoned indication.
        * Large number of packets dropped when running Jumbo frames with TTL rewrite.
        * Limited the number of the elements in the Quality of Service (QoS) tree 2K.  
      Note: Creating more than 250 Vport_tc for every TC is not allowed.
      
        * Queue Pair (QP) flow query was always taking port 1, Firmware will now reply the proper port, 1 or 2, for the dual port RoCE net device.
        * The nack counters constantly reported as "0".
        * In a rare scenario when the driver is executing the "2err" command and the QP is in Send Queue (SQ) drain state, the firmware might post event of broken Work Queue (WQ) instead of sending error Completion Queue Element (CQEs) on all the Work Queue Entry (WQEs).

      **Fixes submitted in version 14.26.4012:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that resulted in dump file being corrupted when using resource dump to dump a WQ buffer with a size more than 2^16 bytes.
        * Enabled the option to prevent clock and capture complex programmable logic device (CPLD general-purpose input/output (GPIO)s glitch upon firmware reset.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 16.26.4012:**
      
        * Fixed a rare issue that caused the device to hang when encountering Remote Direct Memory Access (_RDMA_) read operations with very short retry time. In this case, the driver failed to load due to wait_fw_init (mlx5_load_one failed with error code -16).
        * Increased the bandwidth for RoCE scenarios using a specific Quantum Private Network (QPN).
        * Enabled lower granularity of rate for Congestion Control.
        * Set the min_time_between_cnps default value as 2.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented the meter counter from being cleared after the flow meter being updated. In this case, the Information rate took up to 10 minutes to take effect.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a unequal cost multipath when device set the lag_tx_port_affinity of the Queue Pair(QP).
        * Fixed a performance degradation issue that occurred when the flow group match criteria includes both IPV6 and IP_ECN.
        * Fixed a low performance issue that occurred occasionally when ran firmware steering with high insertion rate during "adding and removing" low table entries.
        * When working with Multi-GVMI and SR-IOV, and with a high number of Virtual Functions and sub-functions, the driver start may fail for the VFs/sub-functions.
        * Fixed a performance issue that occurred when ran numerous VMs with NIC Steering rules.
        * sw_reset action fails in case it was initiated during live-patch flow.
        * SX_RDMA was not supported when Dual Port RoCE feature is enabled. Due to this behavior, packets sent on other port are be processed by the SX_RDMA table.

      **New features and changes in version 14.27.1016 and 16.27.1016:**
      
        * 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.
        * 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.
      
      **New features and changes in version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Removed power consumption limitation.This new capability removes the necessity to disable the port due to insufficient power. When this feature is enabled, an event will be sent on every transition between the following power states: 
          * Power limit is not advertised.
          * Sufficient power detected.
          * Insufficient power detected.
        * 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 (Really Simple Syndication) based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets and for relaxed ordering read when using the create_mkey flag.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 12.27.1016:**
      
      843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)
      
      **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 16.27.1016:**
      
      872723-B21 (HPE Apollo InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 2-port 841z Mezzanine Adapter)  
      872725-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR 100Gb 1-port 841QSFP28 Adapter)
      
      **Changes and New Features in firmware version 12.27.1016 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.
        * 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.
      
      **Changes and New Features in firmware version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Removed power consumption limitation. This new capability removes the necessity to disable the port due to insufficient power. When this feature is enabled, an event will be sent on every transition between the following power states: 
          * Power limit is not advertised
          * Sufficient power detected
          * Insufficient power detected
        * Firmware can be now updated as well as DB strings while performing Live Firmware Patch.
        * 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 the following features: 
          * RSS based on inner headers of GTP-U tunneled packets.
          * Relaxed ordering read when using the create_mkey flag.  
      Note: This capability is not supported when using Multi-Host cards and when in
      PCIe-Switch  
      mode.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 12.27.1016:**
      
        * ZTR counters query was always set to return 0.
        * The adapter card was prevented from going into the bypass mode when the BMC disabled the hardware arbitration.
        * Performance degradation and a high packet drop occurred when SRIOV was enabled and packets went through the FDB default behaviour.
        * Due to the string DB not being updated after Live-Patch, the tracer could not function after Live-Patch.
        * Fixed a rare issue that caused other active functions to receive a malformed CQE during driver (PF or VF) unload or FLR flows.
        * Firmware error was observed when 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 submitted in version 16.27.1016:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the device to perform DMA into memory already returned to the OS during the transition between the pre-boot driver to the OS driver.
        * Out-of-range issue when reading or writing the q_counters.
        * Fixed an issue that in Multi-Host adapter cards that resulted in wrong handling of PERST on auxiliary links.
        * ZTR counters query was always set to return 0.
        * The adapter card was prevented from going into the bypass mode when the BMC disabled the hardware arbitration.
        * A non-standard tool was required to perform the first LFWP patching when used with the GA firmware version.
        * Updated the OOOSLMask behaviour. Firmware now will apply OOOSLMask even if it is set to zero (OOOSLMask = 0).
        * Redundant page consumption in the init_hca.
        * The sw_reset option was not supported when ATS was enabled.
        * When ESWITCH_IPV4_TTL_MODIFY_ENABLE configuration was enabled in mlxconfig, there was performance degradation in small packet sizes.
        * Due to the string DB not being updated after Live-Patch, the tracer could not function after Live-Patch.
        * Fixed a rare issue that caused other active functions to receive a malformed CQE during driver (PF or VF) unload or FLR flows.
        * The PCI link was not getting established when the firmware was corrupted.
        * FW assert was triggerred and resulted in a wrong deallocation of a resource when Packet Pacing was enabled, and a QP was being destroyed.
        * Firmware error was observed when 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.

        * Steering DP hash flow groups.
        * A new counter per vPort that counts the number of packets that reached the Ethernet RQ but cannot fit into the WQE due to their large size. Additionally, we added the option to control if such packet will cause "CQE with Error" or "CQE_MOCK".
        * PCIe Rx modifications to prevent the adapter cards from disappearing from the system.
        * ignore_flow_level is now enabled by the TRUST LEVEL access registry. 
        * cq_overrun counter. The counter represents the number of times CQs enter an error state due to overflow that occur when the device tries to post a CQE into a full CQ buffer.
        * [Beta] Enabled the capability to allow Virtual Functions to send Pause Frames packets.
        * Enabled 10/25GbE auto-sensing with 3rd party when using 10/25GbE optical cables.

        * 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.

      **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.

      **Security**
      
      
      
      The following security vulnerabilities are fixed:
      
        * Onboard Administrator's web server response is enhanced to include X-Content-Type-Options security header.
        * CVE-2011-3026 - libpng: Heap buffer overflow
        * CVE-2018-1000517 - BusyBox wget version  contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability

        * CVE-2019-20892 - SNMPv3 get bulk request issue  
      
      
      **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
      (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.
      
      
      
      **Smart component**
      
      
      
      When OA is in FIPS ON or FIPS TOP-SECRET mode and any of the ciphers that use
      Diffie-Hellman (DH) keys are enabled, firmware upgrade or downgrade using OA
      Smart  Component 4.96 or earlier versions may fail with following error:
      
         Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator. Verify
      the target address is correct and can be accessed from your system.
      
      
      
                
      
      FIPS ON

      TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
      
        
      
                 Same error may occur when OA upgrade or downgrade is performed through Smart  
      
                 Update Manager (SUM) resulting in the following error message in the SUM.

                  cpC39063          Online HPE BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator for Windows          Update returned an error     View Log
      
      
      
         When this failure occurs, the following message can be seen in the OA Smart
      Component  log file.
      
         Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator.
      
      Verify The target address is correct and can be accessed from your system.
      
      
      
                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.
