changelog:
  -     *Firmware Dependency**
      
      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **No new issues were resolved in Version 4.31.  
        
      Problems Fixed in Version 4.30:**
      
      **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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced
      functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -      **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.

      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.

      **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.

        * 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.

      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.

  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where SNMP queries to Onboard Administrator OIDs were not successfully completed when VLAN is configured for Blades and Interconnects.
        * Addressed an issue in the Device and Rack Summary GUI page to eliminate the duplicate display of FLB and Mezz adapters information.
        * Addressed an issue where Interconnects were not receiving IP address from EBIPA (or) external DHCP server.
        * Addressed an issue where Blade Location information was not displayed correctly in SHOW SERVER STATUS ALL CLI command.
        * Addressed an issue where DNS record update was getting delayed in DNS server when a user configured a domain name in Onboard Administrator.
      
      **Security**
      
        * None
      
      **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.

      This firmware release resolved the following issues:  
                  **Smart Array controller:**
      
        * It is possible that a controller would become unresponsive when it was configured with a Smart Cache larger than 750MB.
        * Creating or deleting logical drives on a controller that has encryption enabled might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code =  0xE3.
        * Performing split-mirror operations on encrypted logical drives might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code =  0xE3.
        * Chkdsk was running slowly.
      
                  **HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server:**
      
        * Server might not boot if it was rebooted while a logical drive transformation was being performed.
        * Server might not apply deferred hard disk drive firmware updates.
        * Server UEFI POST messages were improved. POST message issues included the following examples: 
          * Multiple 1784 or 1787 POST messages were displayed although only one was required.

        * 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.

      **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. For additional information, reference Customer Advisory c03755983 at the following URL: <http://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c03755983>

        * Added support for HP ProLiant Gen9 servers: 
          * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server
          * HP ProLiant BL660c Gen9 Server


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.34
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 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.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.64
changelog:
  -      An intermittent aborted IO request with attached SATA drives resulted in a LUN (Logical Unit Number) reset.
        * When using SATA drives with a Px2x controller, the server may stop responding or shut down after an extended period of time due to a controller lockup (POST Lockup 0xAB).


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 6.68
changelog:
  -      HP Smart Array Px3x controller with HP SmartCache enabled on boot volume could potentially encounter file corruption when booting the system if the Super-cap is not fully charged due to being replaced or being in a power down condition for several days (Example 7 days). File corruption is less likely to occur on non-boot volumes than on boot volumes. For additional information please refer to the customer advisory # [c04719000](http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c04719000)
