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

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.20
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
      
         The Remote Console security settings were moved from the Administration >  
          Security > Remote Console page to the Remote Console > Security page.  
         The new Authentication Failure Delay Time setting allows users to  
          configure the duration of the iLO login delay after a failed login attempt.  
          This setting can be configured on the Access Settings page.  
         The new Authentication Failures Before Delay setting allows users to
      configure  
          the number of failed login attempts that are allowed before iLO imposes a  
          login delay. This setting can be configured on the Access Settings page.  
         iLO 4 2.20 and later allows you to install more than one language pack.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.10 and earlier--You can install one language pack at a time.  
              Installing a new language pack replaces the currently installed language  
              pack, regardless of the language pack version.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.20 and later--Language packs are not supported on servers that  
              do not have a NAND. Servers without a NAND should continue to use iLO  
              4 2.10.  
            \- iLO 4 2.20 or later requires version 2.20 or later of the iLO language  
              pack.  
            \- When you upgrade from an earlier version of iLO 4 to version 2.20 or  
              later, previously installed language packs are deleted.  
            \- The following language packs are available: Japanese and Simplified  
              Chinese.  
         The HP ProLiant Agentless Management Service status is now listed on the  
          Information > System Information > Summary page.  
         Trusted Module status is now displayed on the Information > Overview page.  
         RIBCL scripts and the CLP can now be used to send a test trap to test the  
          SNMP configuration.  
         Added support for IPv6 in IPMI LAN Configuration Command Parameters.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.20
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         Alertmail webpage rejects email addresses with
      [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz)  format  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when using IPMI tool.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered for a  
          group firmware update.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         LDAP authentication might fail against a properly configured OpenLDAP
      server due to  
          protocol version restrictions.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in iLO Event
      log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO event log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.22
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements from
      version 2.20:
      
         The Remote Console security settings were moved from the Administration >  
          Security > Remote Console page to the Remote Console > Security page.  
         The new Authentication Failure Delay Time setting allows users to  
          configure the duration of the iLO login delay after a failed login attempt.  
          This setting can be configured on the Access Settings page.  
         The new Authentication Failures Before Delay setting allows users to
      configure  
          the number of failed login attempts that are allowed before iLO imposes a  
          login delay. This setting can be configured on the Access Settings page.  
         iLO 4 2.20 and later allows you to install multiple language packs.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.10 and earlier--You can install one language pack.  
              Installing a new language pack replaces the currently installed language  
              pack, regardless of the language pack version.  
            \- For iLO 4 2.20 and later--Language packs are not supported on servers that  
              do not have a NAND. To continue using language packs on servers without a NAND  
              use iLO 4 2.10 or earlier.  
            \- When you upgrade from an earlier version of iLO 4 to version 2.20 or  
              later, previously installed language packs are deleted.  
            \- iLO 4 2.20 or later requires version 2.20 or later of the iLO language  
              pack.  
            \- When version 2.20 or later of a language pack is installed, installing a new  
              language pack of the same language (version 2.20 or later) replaces the currently  
              installed language pack.  
            \- The following language packs are available: Japanese and Simplified  
              Chinese.  
         The HP ProLiant Agentless Management Service status is now listed on the  
          Information > System Information > Summary page.  
         Trusted Module status is now displayed on the Information > Overview page.  
         RIBCL scripts and the CLP can now be used to send a test trap to test the  
          SNMP configuration.  
         Added support for IPv6 in IPMI LAN Configuration Command Parameters.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.22
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         When the iLO 4 firmware is updated to version 2.20, the iLO security
      settings might be  
          reset to the default values.  
         Embedded media handling was updated to reduce embedded media errors.  
         Addressed SSRT102184  
        
      The following issues are resolved in version 2.20 (replaced by 2.22):  
        
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         The Alertmail page in the iLO web interface rejects email addresses with
      the following  
          format: [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz).  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when IPMI tool is used.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered in the  
          Firmware URL box on the Group Firmware Update page.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in the iLO Event
      Log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO Event Log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.31
changelog:
  -      Fixed an issue where the SPI bus could lock up causing iLO and the host server to become unresponsive if iLO is rebooted while the server is in early POST.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.40
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:  
        
         The iLO web interface has been updated to support the Hewlett Packard
      Enterprise style, URLs, and company information.  
         The Java IRC now includes two alternatives: A Java Web Start console and a
      Java applet-based console. The Java Web Start option works in newer browsers
      that do not allow the applet version to run.  
          On systems with OpenJDK, you must use the Java applet-based console with a browser (such as Firefox) that supports a Java plug-in.  
         The new Critical Temperature Remain Off setting can be configured via
      RIBCL for all nonblade servers.  This setting controls system behavior when
      the system is shut down due to thermal protection circuitry.  
          This is a different protection mechanism for thermal events, and it is not based on temperature sensor thresholds, OS policy, or the environmental abnormality automatic shutdown configuration.   
         The following service events are now supported with embedded Remote
      Support registration:  
          \- ATA Disk Drive Status Changed Event  
          \- Fibre Channel Host Controller Status Changed Event  
         The Server Reset button is now available on the Boot Order page when the
      Boot Mode is modified.  
         The NVMe Backplane PIC firmware can now be updated via iLO.  
         The logical drive label and ID were added to the RESTful API.  
         NIC auto-selection can now be configured to search both Shared Network
      Ports on servers that support this hardware configuration. This feature can be
      configured via the CLI and RIBCL.  
         NIC auto-selection can now be configured to support NIC failover. When
      enabled, iLO automatically begins searching for a NIC connection when the
      current connection fails. This  
          feature can be configured via the CLI and RIBCL.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.40
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:  
        
         NIC auto-selection can be configured via RIBCL on DL60 and DL80 servers.
      These servers do not support the iLO Dedicated Network Port or NIC auto-
      selection.  
         There is no POST error after one or more fans are removed.  
         iLO does not collect and delete out of date or unused BIOS provider
      schemas and registries.  
         The iLO 4 web server might stop responding after an invalid file is
      submitted on the firmware update page.  
         When system throttling occurs on Gen8 servers, the duration is longer than
      necessary.  
         Cookies set by older versions of iLO were not understood correctly and
      might cause problems when you try to select iLO Federation groups.  
         The chassis firmware version number is not displayed consistently in the
      web interface.  
         Sorting by column does not work in some iLO web interface tables.  
         The language icon at the bottom of the browser window is not displayed in
      Internet Explorer.  
         The domain name cannot be set via the CLP when the Shared Network Port is
      enabled.  
         A drive failure does not trigger an action when IPMI PEF is enabled.  
         The json/power_alert API returns an incorrect error (HTTP error 500) for
      bad parameters.  
         The wrong iLO self-test name "UnknownSelfTest" is displayed for the NVRAM
      space test in Redfish output.  
         The UID Indicator status does not change to BLINK when the Integrated
      Remote Console is active.  
         Kerberos authentication cannot be enabled when FIPS mode is enabled.  
         Keystrokes are repeated in the Integrated Remote Console when the server
      is in the UEFI Shell.  
         Data is not displayed in the power meter 20 minute or 24 hour graph.  
         The License page does not refresh to update the status after an iLO
      Advanced license is installed.  
         Redfish output does not group the Average, Minimum, and Peak values
      together in the Fast Power Meter output.  
         The NIC Information page displays the address 0.0.0.0 when the IPv6
      address is the only IP address available for the iLO NIC.  
         Duplicate entries for network cards are displayed on the Device Inventory
      page.  
         Redfish output displays an incorrect memory type for non-HPE memory.  
         The NIC Information page displays the value N/A when a NIC team is
      configured.  
         An incorrect error message is displayed for the TESTTRAP command after
      SNMP alerts are disabled.  
         Power consumption values are incorrect in Redfish
      Chassis/1/Power/FastPowerMeter/ output.  
         Power supply bay numbering is inconsistent between the web interface and
      RESTful API output.  
         If an SNMP test alert is sent when SNMPv1 traps are disabled and SNMPv3
      users are not defined, iLO reports a successful test when an error should be
      displayed.  
         An event log message is not logged when an SSL certificate is imported via
      the RESTful API.  
         A password that contains the equals sign (=) cannot be set when a user is
      added by using the CLI.  
         The value null is displayed for all RESTful API NetworkAdapters packet
      statistics.  
         The RESTful API schema file does not include the supported values for
      SpeedMbps.  
         An infinite loop in the file system check utility causes slow system
      performance.  
         DL580 Gen9 servers might fail to boot from an SD card.  
         The 53-Sensor LOM is displayed as missing on the Temperatures page for
      DL580 Gen8 servers.  
         After a vulnerability scan, iLO 4 might be left doing ACK flood with the
      scanner software.  
         iLO 4 might become unresponsive when attempting to delete an old AHS file
      with an invalid character in its name.  
         AlertMail rejects email addresses with hyphen characters.  
         Only one LDAP server can be configured by using RIBCL.  
         Insight Remote Support is not alerted if a failed hard drive is on a bay
      number above 18.

changelog:
  -     This release is based on the 2.40 iLO 4 FW Release and contains all the fixes
      and enhancements included in that version.  
      
      Also included in this release:
      
        * Added a new RIBCL command "FORCE_FORMAT" that enables the recovery of the 4 GB embedded non-volatile storage (NAND Flash) if it is not available.  iLO resets automatically afterward for this operation to take effect.  If using Intelligent   Provisioning, then it will need to be reinstalled. This change is added to help in special cases that require this to fix a problem and a list of symptoms can be found below.  This is a limited release and availability is limited.  This will   be not web-released. 
          * Symptoms: 
            * 8192 Self-Test Error reported
            * Errors while applying OneView profiles
            * Can't extract Active Health System
            * Intelligent Provisioning doesn't load when F10 is pressed

        * Added iLO event log entry for IPMI PEF actions.
        * Enhanced disk drive status to include controller failure status.
        * Addressed an issue where a Smart Array battery failure could trigger excessive SMI interrupts when NVDIMMs are not present in the system. This could cause a server hang.
        * Auto Power On not working on SL/XL servers.
        * Fixed iLO 4 in Gen9 erasing ServerName EV in non-Virtual Connect environments. This caused them to show as "host is unnamed" in the Onboard Administrator GUI.
        * Fixed iLO 4 SNMP returning wrong IP address when snmpbulkget was used.
        * Fixed Remote Support 'Data Package Validation failed' error message.
        * Unable to remove Active Directory Groups via RIBCL.
        * Fixed RIS data storage file path validation and recovery.
        * Fixed unnecessary clearing of the RESTful API as a result of BIOS upgrade/downgrade.
        * Fixed setting of SET_PERSISTENT_BOOT bootorder for systems with a long boot order list.
        * Fixed support for systems with much larger overall SMBIOS records.
        * Fixed HP RESTful tool errors. BIOS registration could produce empty entries.
        * Fixed loss of communication with Onboard Administrator.
        * Removed font download from external source at login.
        * Fixed problems associated with Apollo 4200 with 25 drives. Needed to support more internal platform definitions.
        * Security fixes/enhancements: 
          * Modified "Enforce AES/3DES Encryption" setting to only allow TLS 1.2 protocol.
          * Security fix. See HP Security Bulletin HPSBHF03441.

changelog:
  -     Note for ESXi users: If you are booted from the Embedded SD Card, it is
      strongly  
      Recommended that you reboot the server immediately after updating to iLO 4
      v2.50.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     This version adds support for the following features and enhancements:
      
        * Implemented Garbage collection on the RESTful API allowing for automatic recovery in the case of bad or missing data.
        * Updates to the enclosure connection status (CPQSTSYS cpqSsBoxConnectionStatus) now correctly report when an enclosure is disconnected or reconnected, and sends trap cpqSsConnectionStatusChange where appropriate.
        * This version adds protection to the lifespan of the embedded 4GB non-volatile storage (NAND) by implementing a daily write count limit that is well above the normal daily activity.  This ensures a runaway process will not inadvertently write to the NAND excessively leading to eventual failure.
        * Changed the default SSL certificate signing to SHA-256.
        * Added support for IP addresses in the SubjectAltName field of the iLO SSL certificate.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.50
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
        * Dynamic Power Capping still works when set to disabled.
        * Server may shut down after repeated insertion and removal of hot-plug power input modules for RPS backplanes. 
        * Repeated LDAP tests cause iLO LDAP User Authentication to fail.
        * The reporting of location discovery services data via the RESTful API on ML/DL servers failed even with iLO Advanced license installed.
        * Rare memory leak that could lead to slow or failed iLO interfaces due to unverified data returns from unregistered providers.
        * Corrected the link on the direct connect registration page to point to [www.hpe.com/support/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc) instead of [www.hpe.com/services/hpesc](http://www.hpe.com/services/hpesc).
        * OA communication issue after OneView SPP update.
        * Status of pure Fibre Channel cards show up as Unknown in Network Tab of iLO System Information.
        * External Rest Providers removed after upgrading BIOS, booting, and then resetting iLO.
        * Rarely a GET to the SNMP MIB will fail.
        * Rarely updates using HPSUT fail.
        * iLOs won't join Federation group or respond to SSDP requests if DHCPv4 is configured but an IP address is not obtained at iLO boot time.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in 2.36.5000:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which caused packet transmission to get stuck when the software tried to send pause frames with dmac equal to one of the device's MAC addresses.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a firmware internal error when handling QP alternative context.
        * Fixed an issue which caused an internal firmware error when APM changed the QPs port mapping.
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVRAM to get stuck when it filled non-valid information in TLV.
        * Fixed an issue which caused lack of IB traffic on SR-IOV VPI.
        * Fixed a race in handling a duplicated "read request from middle".
        * Fixed an issue which caused NVCONFIG to fail when the number of sector was set to 1 and the sector was zeroed.
        * Fixed an issue which caused TX traffic to stop when the message MTU size was larger than QP.mtu.
        * MLNX_OEM command GET_TEMP returned a wrong value in the max_temp field.
        * Fixed a default hardware configuration issue which caused RDP over IPv4 traffic to be dropped.
        * Disabled High Rate Steering mode in the INI to enable its compatibility with NC-SI over VLAN.
        * Fixed failure instances when initiating FLR in the Physical Function.
        * Fixed a wrong returned status in cable info MAD when the cable was not connected.
        * Fixed the length calculation of UDP. The incorrect UDP length in the CNP packet caused miss-calculation of the ICRC.
        * Fixed a completion error issue when ECN was enabled. The ECN usage caused ordering errors in completion queues (CQ).
      
      **Fixes in 14.14.2200:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented MAC address changes by to driver to be reflected in the OBCC and NC-SI interfaces.
        * Added protection from IOPX thermal diode destabilization to prevent UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GE cards.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a link down in Port 2 when unplugging the cable from Port 1.
        * In some cases, a Bit Error Rate is not optimal on 10G/40G links.
        * Instability of Link Training Flow occurs during 100G Auto-Negotiation.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the command to hang when moved the QP to RESET and back to RTS.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * Added support for pnat = 1 in HCA access_reg command as required by the ibdiagnet tool.
        * Fixed the LLDP OCBB response: return value is now ascii.
        * Fixed a very rare NMI issue during PXE cycles.
        * Increased the steering hash tables static size from 128 to a maximum of 32K entries.
        * Prevented miscalculation of module temperature when using 100Gb/s cables (OPN: MFA1A00-Cxxx for 100GbE).
        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

       Management Capabilities Mask Register  
       Ports CApabilities Mask Register Fields  
      For further information, please refer to the PRM.
      
        * Enabled VNIC the control to enable/disable its local loopback traffic.
        * Added the option to open a receive RDMA Flow Table and to forward RoCE traffic to some destination QP.
        * Added support for Multi-Host LID base routing. This feature requires a new OpenSM (v4.7.1 and above which comes with MLNX_OFED 3.3-2.0.0.0) with the following attributes:  
       qos TRUE  
       lmc 2 (if there is no quad host in the fabric, you can set the lmc to 1)  
       virt_enabled 2 Note: Multi-Host LID base routing can be configured by the
      INI only. The default is 0
      
        * Resilient RoCE is the ability to send RoCE traffic over a lossy network (a network without flow control enabled), without the need to enable flow control on the network. The ability is accomplished by enabling ECN on both the Switch and the Host.
        * Enables load balancing in the Multi PF Switch layer (MPFS) based on the L3/L4 headers
        * Increased the number of VFs from 64 to 95 per Physical Function (PF). Note: When increasing the number of VFs, the following limitations must be taken into consideration: server_total_bar_size >= (num_pfs)*(2log_pf_uar_bar_- size + 2log_vf_uar_bar_size*total_vfs) server_total_msix >= (num_pfs)*(num_pf_msix + num_vfs_msix *total_vfs) Note: For the maximum number of VFs supported by your driver, please refer to your drivers' Release Notes or User Manual.
        * Added support for Port Flap Counter.
        * Limits the buffer size for all entries to improve performance. KSM is used when associating Key Length My Virtual Address (KLMs) with fixed memory size.
        * This entry (null_mkey) is use to indicate non-present KLM/KSM entries. When accessing is, it causes the device to generate page fault event.
        * PLDM firmware burning is based on the DMTF spec DSP0267 (draft 9). The feature enables upgrading firmware and expansion ROM images using the PLDM protocol over MCTP (over PCIe). By doing so, a supporting BMC can query and upgrade the firmware without using OS based tools.
        * Added a new physical layer statistics counters group. The new group includes BER counters, FEC error correction, clear time, and additional physical layer counters. For further information, please refer to the Ethernet Adapters Programming Manual (PRM).
        * Enables the user to set a certain link up state for an unlimited period of time. This mode has 3 states:  
       Aux power (standby)  
       Reboot/boot/driver unloaded - the server is active and no driver is up  
       Driver is up - at least one driver is up (the time between init HCA and
      teardown or FLR)
      
        * Added support for Doorbell from User Access Region (UAR).
        * [Beta] Added support for maximum rate limit per function in SR-IOV.
        * Allows the user to configure the adapter card to stop sending pauses after x when the receive port is unavailable (in a hang state).
        * [Beta] Added support for new performance counters.
        * DCBX is used by DCB devices to exchange configuration information with directly connected peers. DCBX uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to exchange parameters between two link peers. For further information, please refer to the PRM.
        * Allows network port registers to revert to their default values when the driver is restarted or the host is rebooted.

        * A flow table may include a table-miss flow entry, which renders all Match Fields wildcards. If a packet does not match a flow entry in a flow table, this is a table miss. The behavior on a table miss depends on the table configuration. A table-miss flow entry in the flow table may specify how to process unmatched packets.
        * Single Root IO Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a technology that allows a physical PCIe device to present itself multiple times through the PCIe bus.
        * Uses the HCA for offloading erasure coding calculations.
        * Enables the administrator to add a timestamp to the firmware they want to upgrade to avoid situations where one host tries to upgrade the firmware and another tries to downgrade; which may lead to two or more unnecessary server reboots. For further information, please refer to MFT User Manual.
        * The change includes the following:  
      1\. Changed port configuration which required link re-training (such as speed)  
      2\. PAOS down

        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

        * Fixed an issue which prevented Vport counters from counting local loopback packets. Packets now are filter by the self-loopback prevention.
        * Reported INTx as unsupported to allow PFs Passthrough on PowerKVM.
        * SR-IOV Ethernet supports up to 18 VFs per port only.
        * Fixed and incident what allowed local (internal) loopbacked packets to be counted by the Vport counters, although Vport counters should count only traffic that crosses the Vport.
        * Fixed an issue preventing driver loading or TX traffic sending upon reboot, after ungraceful driver unload.
        * Fixed casting of BMC MAC before steering API.
        * Fixed the PCI write flow to take into consideration the PCI MTU. This fix eliminates the need for NOPs in the flow, which resulted from PPC larger PCI MTU.  
      The single queue limitation for READ is due to a hardware limitation of the
      number of READ request in a given time.
      
        * Fixed a case that caused FlexBoot to not work as expected with systems that run with "large bar" enabled (Above 4G Decoding) over Connect-IB or ConnectX-4 HCAs.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented link creation when connected to IXIA 25G.

       Aux power (standby)  
       Reboot/boot/driver unloaded - the server is active and no driver is up  
       Driver is up - at least one driver is up (the time between init HCA and
      teardown or FLR)
      
        * Added support for Doorbell from User Access Region (UAR).
        * [Beta] Added support for maximum rate limit per function in SR-IOV.
        * Allows the user to configure the adapter card to stop sending pauses after x when the receive port is unavailable (in a hang state).
        * [Beta] Added support for new performance counters.
        * DCBX is used by DCB devices to exchange configuration information with directly connected peers. DCBX uses Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to exchange parameters between two link peers. For further information, please refer to the PRM.
        * Allows network port registers to revert to their default values when the driver is restarted or the host is rebooted.
        * Added additional network link up modes. The new modes decide when to keep the network link up. The new modes are:  
       keep_eth_link_up  
       keep_ib_link_up  
       keep_link_up_on_boot  
       keep_link_up_on_standby
      
        * Added v1, v3, v6 tags to VPD read only tag
        * Enables software to scatter or strip FCS in RQ.

        * Applies pause functionality to specific classes of traffic on the Ethernet link.
        * Custom port counters provide the user a clear indication about RDMA send/receive statistics and errors
        * The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a IEEE 802 LAN. The protocol is formally defined in IEEE 802.1AB.
        * ConnectX-4 adapters now support 1Gb/s and 56GbE Ethernet connectivity in addition to 10GigE, 25GigE, 40GigE, 50GigE, and 100GigE.
        * Provides a clear indication of Flow Steering statistics and errors.
        * The minimal amount of packet headers inlined in the WQE's Eth Segment.
        * A flow table may include a table-miss flow entry, which renders all Match Fields wildcards. If a packet does not match a flow entry in a flow table, this is a table miss. The behavior on a table miss depends on the table configuration. A table-miss flow entry in the flow table may specify how to process unmatched packets.
        * Single Root IO Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a technology that allows a physical PCIe device to present itself multiple times through the PCIe bus.
        * Uses the HCA for offloading erasure coding calculations.
        * Enables the administrator to add a timestamp to the firmware they want to upgrade to avoid situations where one host tries to upgrade the firmware and another tries to downgrade; which may lead to two or more unnecessary server reboots. For further information, please refer to MFT User Manual.
        * The change includes the following:  
      1\. Changed port configuration which required link re-training (such as speed)  
      2\. PAOS down  
      3\. PAOS up  
      This change, will cause the link to toggle and new configurations to take
      effect.

        * On rare occasions during UEFI boot cycles system got stuck while WinPE is loaded. (OS WinPE, system DL160).
        * Single FTE that catches both untagged and prio-tagged packets (by giving an FTE with match_value.vlan_tag = 0 and match_value.vid = 0) is currently not supported.
        * Flashing the firmware requires server reboot. Firmware cannot be flashed twice without server reboot after first flashing
        * If the vport state is DOWN and a packet is sent in local loopback, the sx_sniffer tool will not function.
        * Fixed an issue causing bubbles to appear as symbol errors when link raised FDR 1x.
        * When Clause 74 Fire-Code FEC is active, and there are FC corrected errors, both the FC_correctable counter and the FC_uncoreectable counter are increment.
        * Some Port Control Register do not return to the default value after the last port owner host restarts the driver.
        * Fixed an issue which caused RX to hang when the UDP packet had a reserved UDP destination port.
        * Fixed DMAC reporting mapping per host.
        * Fixed an EEH error from PCI which caused firmware to hang.

        * Fixed an issue which caused a link down in Port 2 when unplugging the cable from Port 1.
        * In some cases, a Bit Error Rate is not optimal on 10G/40G links.
        * Instability of Link Training Flow occurs during 100G Auto-Negotiation.

        * Reduced one hop for Unicast RX steering, steering pipes balancing.
        * Non-volatile configuration of Port Type TLV more than 50 times might cause system hang.
        * Enabled RoCE IPv4 Multicast. This prevents MCG command from failing when an IPv4 is mapped to an IPv6 address.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF) In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be blocked when the port is down  due to the physical link (for example: cable plugged out, switch port down).
        * Fixed a 25G and 50G link issue when Clause 91 RS FEC was active.
        * Added a missing invalidation of eSwitch cache upon FLR which caused the upcoming driver load to either fail or not to be able to transmit.

        * Fixed an issue which prevented Vport counters from counting local loopback packets. Packets now are filter by the self-loopback prevention.
        * Reported INTx as unsupported to allow PFs Passthrough on PowerKVM.
        * SR-IOV Ethernet supports up to 18 VFs per port only.
        * Fixed and incident what allowed local (internal) loopbacked packets to be counted by the Vport counters, although Vport counters should count only traffic that crosses the Vport.
        * Fixed an issue preventing driver loading or TX traffic sending upon reboot, after ungraceful driver unload.
        * Fixed casting of BMC MAC before steering API.
        * Fixed the PCI write flow to take into consideration the PCI MTU. This fix eliminates the need for NOPs in the flow, which resulted from PPC larger PCI MTU.  
      The single queue limitation for READ is due to a hardware limitation of the
      number of READ request in a given time.
      
        * Fixed a case that caused FlexBoot to not work as expected with systems that run with "large bar" enabled (Above 4G Decoding) over Connect-IB or ConnectX-4 HCAs.
        * Fixed an issue which prevented link creation when connected to IXIA 25G.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 2.42.5000:**
      
        * The PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
        * Fixed an issue which caused a system Time Out on the configuration cycle of the 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.
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the server to hang and result 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.
        * Fixed an issue in flow_steering where BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
        * Fixed an issue while closing the HCA, where RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
        * Fixed an issue where the masterSM LID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented ibdump from capturing all MADs packets.
        * Fixed an issue that prevented the link to 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.
        * Fixed an issue that caused NC-SI not to 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 submitted in version 14.21.2800:**
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused QP connection timeout due to firmware not being able to handle duplicate packets with AckReq bit set. The fix stopped ignoring duplicate AckReq packets to avoid timeout on the sender side.
        * MPFS load balance (DUP_MAC_ACTION==LOAD_BALANCE(1)) is not working as long as IB_ROUTING_MODE/SRIOV_IB_ROUTING_MODE is configured to LID.
        * Fixed an issue that caused a SX engine deadlock (the SX engine handles software port/priority changes for a specific Send Queue) when more than a single SX engine handled the "prio diff" flow simultaneously, thus caused the hardware to get stuck.  
      The issue happened as the firmware releases the SX engine and waits for
      various operation to complete. However, due to a race that allows a different
      transaction to get into the SX engine and cause the lock to be taken by it,
      the SX engine release is prevented.
      
        * Fixed an issue that caused the system to hang while changing QPTS/QPDPM/QPDP parameters during traffic.
        * Fixed unfairness between senders in RoCE LAG while ECN is configured.
        * Fixed an issue which displayed diagnostic counters only on the adapter that was initialized first, which is the counters' owner. The owner received correct values, while the other adapter only received zeros.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the rdma_cm traffic to fail on the 2nd port when more than 32 VFs were configured, when the RoCE Dual Port vHCA (a.k.a Multi-Port vHCA: MPV) feature was enabled.

changelog:
  -     *Fixes submitted in version 2.42.5000 :**
      
        * The PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it..
        * System Time Out on the configuration cycle of the 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 hung and resulted in NMI (Non-maskable interrupt) when run-ning "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a differ-ent 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 (Host Channel Adapters), 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 could not go up after reboot.
        * A rare issue caused the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions. 
        * NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) did not work when adding the disable_stat-ic_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.
      
      **Fixes submitted in version 14.22.1414 :**
      
        * A temperature normalization function calculation issue. Now the cable gain that is not pure integer is taken into account was fixed.

  -     *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).

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following device has been updated to 12.21.1000:**
      
      843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)
      
      **New features and changes in version 12.21.1000:**
      
        * Added support for the following features: 
          * InfiniBand native (No SR-IOV) dual port device (Function per port is disabled). In this mode virtualization is not supported and ISSI = 0.
          * 10G/40G on 100GbE AOC/transceivers vs. non Mellanox devices.
        * PTP packets time stamping is enabled upon packet's arrival to the port.
        * Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) is enabled by default for all priorities on Ethernet ports.
        * DC CNAK improves sent CNAK performance and avoids back pressure in ConnectX-4 adapter cards.
        * Receiver Signal Integrity Improvements: 
          * Raised the link only with phase greater than 15 ticks to improve signal integrity.
          * Extended measurement test between two similar RX configurations.
          * Moved the data path to use the second input buffer to improve signal integrity.
        * RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) Dual Port Mode enables the usage of a dual port Virtual HCA (vHCA) to share RDMA resources (e.g., MR, CQ, SRQ, PDs) across the two Ethernet (RoCE) NIC network ports and display the NIC as a dual port device. For this feature to function properly, the following requirements must be met: 
          * Either the LAG or the Dual Port mode is enabled by the driver.
          * Dual port device: both ports must be set as ETH.
          * In ConnectX-4/ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards, the maximum allowed number of VFs per PF is 32.
          * Function per port is enabled.

        * crdump operation takes a snapshot of the device's crspace dword-by-dword. It enables the driver to collect debug information upon firmware failure.
        * Secure Firmware Updates provides devices with the ability to verify digital signatures of new firmware binaries, in order to ensure that only officially approved versions are installed on the devices.
        * Changed the default Forward Error Connection (FEC) mode for cables with attenuation 16 and below from Reed Solomon (RS) to FC.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.0
changelog:
  -     *Fixes in version 12.21.1000:**
      
        * RDMA_CM driver was causing the Queue Pair (QP) Rate Limit to be activate unexpectedly and reduce the bandwidth significantly on this QP.
        * Low throughput when Eplicit Congestion Notification (ECN) was enabled in a many-to-one scenario.
        * A rare issue that caused the firmware to hang.
        * The maximum temperature in a setup was incorrectly reported as the current temperature regardless of the actual temperature.
        * Virtual Addressing Capability incorrect report in NC-SI (Sideband).
        * Enhanced RX sensitivity per Vcore.
        * Disabled the option to write to the protected modules to avoid receiving NACK upon module initialization.
        * Enabled cold_flicks reset when sending invalidate_all command to invalidate all the ECs.
        * SR-IOV min & max rate limiter can only support up to 64 Virtual Functions (VFs) per port.
        * Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) did not function as expected when the number of QPs > ~500 per host.
        * When using Unreliable Datagram (UD) RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) multicast traffic over SR-IOV, packets were scattered to all the attached QPs in the e-sw (PF and its VFs) and not only on the vport that was specified in the e-se FDB.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 12.24.1000:**
      
      843400-B21 (HPE Apollo A10 InfiniBand EDR (100Gb) 2-port Adapter)
      
      **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 16.24.1000:**
      
      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 12.24.1000 and 16.24.1000:**
      
        * Added support for the following: 
          * An additional layer (Layer 3) of packet processing at the hypervisor level that enables adding and removing protocol headers (e.g., the MAC address is removed during encapsulation, and added during decapsulation) for the encapsulated traffic.
          * Transmission histogram counter set as part of the Ethernet extended group counters.
          * TX steering rule on flow_table_metadata in WQE Ethernet segment.
          * Added L3 encapsulation/decapsulation support in the reformat context allocation. 
            * L3 encapsulation removes L2 headers and adds generic L3 tunnel encapsulation.
            * L3 decapsulation removes the generic L3 tunnel decapsulation and L2 header.
          * Flow steering header modification (header rewrite) for IPv4 TTL header for loopback traffic (VF-VF/VF-PF).  
      Note: TTL modification for traffic from the network is currently not
      supported.
      
          * Requester QP packet based on E2E credits mode. The new flow control supports HCA-to-switch RDMA traffic packet-based End-2-End.
          * IPoIB non-default Partition Keys (PKeys). Now the PKey values can be modified in the PKey table without the need of recreating the IPoIB (underlay) QPs.
          * [Beta] SR-IOV in Multi-Host/Socket-Direct.
          * QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
          * New diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
        * Enabled the hardware to generate an event upon counter incrementation, in order to reduce an overhead from the software from reading rarely updated counters such as error counters.
        * Enabled NOIDNIC connectivity to the network through the e-switch and not directly to the physical port.
        * Enabled setting the QP and the Mkey values by the software upon these resources creation.
        * Enabled advanced PCIe atomic operations. The HCA will perform PCIe atomic operations as a requestor towards the host memory when receiving compatible atomic messages from the network, and according to the configuration of NV_SW_OFFLOAD_CONFIG pci_atomic_mode field and the PCI AtomicOp Requester Enable bit in the Device Control 2 register.
        * Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.  
      Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently
      not supported.
      
        * Enabled a single TIR destination from the FDB.
        * Changed the WRED default mode to OFF for Multi-Host adapter cards.
        * [Developers only] Moved the fast teardown HCA cap bit to offset 0x1c.4:1.
        * Enabled Virtual Functions to read QPDPM/QPDP/QPTS.
        * Multi PCI RDMA IB: This capability enables the user to expose two PCI/IB devices per network port.
        * Reduced firmware's memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
        * Shutting Down RDMA QPs with Excessive Retransmissions is a mechanism used to detect excessive retransmissions for an RC connection, and to close the connection in response to it. If the number of retransmissions due to a Local Ack Timeout, NAK-Sequence Error, or Implied NAK, during a specified period, exceeds the specified threshold, the QP will be handled as if the IB spec defined Retry Count was exceeded.
      
      **New features in firmware version 12.24.1000:**
      
        * Enabled e-switch steering rule in the NIC without matching it with the Directional MACs (DMAC) protocol. Now the rule is only according to the MC/UC bit.
        * The IB Sniffer utility provides the user the ability to capture the e-switch traffic directly to a hypervisor queue.
        * Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow: 
          * in dual port devices to: 0-21, 33-45 VFs (22-32 VFs has single TC)
          * in single port devices to: 0-64 VFs
      
      **New features in firmware version 16.24.1000:**
      
        * Enabled QoS ETS for systems with 64 VFs to better allocate bandwidth in the NIC.
        * Enabled TTL modification for received packets.
        * Mirrors the traffic from/to one VF to a dedicate admin VF for monitoring and traffic analysis. Note that in this process packets are duplicated and different packet modifications apply to different duplications.
        * Enabled TTL modification in the Rx NIC steering. When modifying the TTL in the Rx NIC, the CQE checksum will not recalculated automatically.  
      Note: TTL modification in the FDB for traffic from the network is currently
      not supported.
      
        * Added support for Dynamically Connected Transport (DC) in RoCE in ConnectX-5 adapter cards.
        * Enabled Rx mini-CQE compressed format for striding RQ.
        * Enabled TX steering rule on the application meta-data from the WQE. This functionality implements meta-data Reg A steering and meta-data Reg A and Reg B rewriting.
        * Added MPLS over UDP and MPLS over GRE protocols for tunneling offload/steering match criteria.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * When an HP c-Class BladeSystem c7000 enclosure that contains ProLiant BL2x220c server blades is configured with the OA firmware version 3.60, HP Insight Control (IC) Server Deployment does not fully support operating system deployment. The IC Server Deployment console is not able to properly display and target BL2x220c blades installed in the bay slots from 10 to 16.
          * On rare circumstances, the HP c-Class BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to get an EBIPA assigned address and may instead get a 0.0.0.0 IP address or an externally assigned DHCP address even though they are configured to get EBIPA assigned addresses. This issue is most visible following an interconnect reset, but may also occur after an extended period of run time. This issue will only occur on a very busy flat network where the OA and interconnect modules are not split off into separate management network.
          * After upgrading Onboard Administrator firmware from versions prior to OA v3.50 to OA v3.5x or OA 3.60, auto login requests initiated from the Onboard Administrator to iLO may not be successful. Potentially impacted auto login requests are initiated when performing such actions as: 
            * Launching iLO Web Administration or Remote Console from the Onboard Administrator graphical user interface
            * Accessing server console using the Onboard Administrator Insight Display KVM Menu
            * Executing the HPONCFG, CONNECT SERVER, or UPDATE ILO Onboard Administrator CLI commands

      **Problems Fixed**
      
          * Fixed an issue where a server blade with Power Management Controller version 0.7 was incorrectly flagged as "Major degraded" when it should have been flagged as "Informational".
          * Fixed an issue with the "CONNECT INTERCONNECT" command that could intermittently hang the CLI session when using the send break command. This issue would only occur if the remote port settings were incorrect in the CONNECT console, or if the interconnect was not responsive.
          * Fixed an issue where a server blade's signature information would be inadvertently retained after deleting its Virtual Configuration Domain.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could not automatically log into an iLO if there were no local users configured on the ilO.
          * Fixed an issue where the devices name was not displayed on the system status page for degraded devices.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA GUI would improperly display the enclosures graphical front and rear views when on a factory reset was issued if VC was enabled.
          * Fixed an issue in the "HELP ADD LDAP GROUP" command where it incorrectly stated that the number of allowable directory groups was 6.  The help now correctly states that the correct number of 30.
          * Fixed an issue when executing the "GENERATE CERTIFICATE REQUEST" commands where the user was unable to enter the required Country field to proceed with the command.
          * Fixed an issue where a configured user account could not access the Insight Display from the enclosure's front view even thought the user had the appropriate permissions.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA would display "invalid command" when executing the CLI Help commands "HELP ENABLE SYSLOG REMOTE" or "HELP DISABLE SYSLOG REMOTE".
          * Fixed an issue where an OA user was allowed to remove the remote syslog server address while remote logging was enabled.  A user must now disable remote logging before clearing the syslog server address.
          * Fixed an issue where sidecar blades would not power on due to the partner blade being allowed to be incorrectly power on first.
          * Fixed an issue where power cycling the enclosure would cause a server and its sidecar to falsely report "Inappropriate device in adjacent bay".
          * Fixed an issue where the "CONNECT SERVER" command would terminate the CLI session if the maximum number of iLO users had already been created.
          * Fixed an issue where the LCD firmware sync option would still be available when there was mismatched OA hardware.  The OA will now disable the sync button when this condition exists.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA does not show all temperature information for Integrity Servers with unpopulated CPU sockets.
          * Fixed an issue where the "REBOOT SERVER FORCE" command would sometimes result in blades being powered off.
          * Added a syslog message when the allocated power value of a server blade is being updated and iLO is unresponsive.
          * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping error on a blade would result in the OA's enclosure power summary not to display Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping related information for all blades.
          * Fixed an issue where the KVM connections to a server blade would fail approximately 29 days after the last iLO reset.  When this issue occurs iLO is functioning normally but the OA fails to connect with a syslog message, "OA: KVM Bay X - Connection to blade failed."
          * Fixed an issue where the enclosure DVD status was inconsistent across GUI, CLI and LCD for all the blades.
          * Modified the OA to no longer log the "OA:tbmuser_logged out of the OA" event.
          * Fixed an issue where the c7000 KVM display menu for bay 16A would report "absent" when a double dense server blade such as the BLx220c was installed in bay 16.
          * Fixed an issue on c3000 Onboard Administrator where the CONNECT INTERCONNECT command would sometimes drop characters if the command was over 16 bytes.
          * Modified the Insight Display representation of double dense server blades to display a distinguishable separation so that it is not confused with the display of a single density server blade.
          * Fixed an issue on the Directory Settings Test page where it would improperly identify failed LDAP test when the ping test failed.
          * Fixed an issue where VC configuration parameters were not correctly applied after recovering from Profile Pending state.

      errors on G6 server blades only.
      
      >   * Enhanced Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping:
      
      >     * Provides for a maximum allowable cap range based on the hardware and
      firmware available in the enclosure and installed server blades
      
      >     * Can now be enabled in a non redundant power environment
      
      >     * Can now be enabled in a DC-powered enclosure
      
      >   * Added a new CLI command that retrieves and displays a server blade's iLO
      2 Event Log.
      
      >   * Modified the SHOW ALL to also include the iLO 2 Event Log for all
      installed server blades.
      
      >   * Enhanced the handling of previously cached browser pages when upgrading
      the Onboard Administrator.
      
      >   * Self-signed certificates generated with Onboard Administrator v3.00 now
      use a SHA1 signature instead of the less secure MD5 signature.
      
      >   * Enhanced Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) to support individual
      network settings for each bay instead of global network settings which
      encompass all bays.
      
      >   * The method used to determine duplicate EBIPA IP addresses within OA 2.60
      and earlier has been found to be unreliable and at times indicates duplicate
      IP addresses that were in fact not duplicate, thus duplicate IP address
      checking has been removed from the OA 3.00.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
          * Onboard Administrator v3.00 EBIPA changes to support configuring device bays or interconnect bays in different IP subnets (particularly to support the new Enclosure VLAN feature) require a new CLI command to save the EBIPA settings. Enclosure configuration files saved on previous Onboard Administrator versions will not have the new SAVE EBIPA command, so it is highly recommended that the Enclosure configuration file be saved after the Onboard Administrator is updated to version 3.00; even if the new EBIPA features are not used, to ensure that the Enclosure configuration file has the proper EBIPA command sequence to restore the EBIPA settings.
          * Internet Explorer 6 does not natively support IPv6. Please review Microsoft Technical Note, <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc784580.aspx>, for details on using Internet Explorer 6 with the Onboard Administrator v3.00 configured for IPv6.
          * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680."

      > **Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap**
      
            * **Caution**: If Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is enabled, the changes in this feature in OA v3.10 may result in servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power", or the server may be unable to power on.   This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure.
            * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determine that the server power request can be satisfied.  Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade.  HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
      
      > **VLAN**
      
            * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled:
              1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the OA modules.
              2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all OA modules.
              3. Ensure that all HP 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the OA modules in that enclosure.

changelog:
  -      For OA 3.10 installations, HP requires users to update to OA 3.11 at their earliest convenience.
      * For OA 3.00 installations, the user can simply enable the IPv6 feature in the OA and then at some later date upgrade to OA 3.11 as needed.  Note that IPv6 is disabled in the OA by default.
      * For all other OA installations, the user may want to consider updating to OA 3.11 if they are experiencing issues that were addressed in OA 3.00 or OA 3.11.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 3.20-1.1
changelog:
  -     *Firmware Additions**
      
        * Added support for automatically restoring the Enclosure's Serial Number on a mid-plane replacement.  This feature requires that all the OA modules and fans be plugged back into the enclosure before power is applied.  Changing power supplies during the midplane service event will not impact this feature.
        * Added additional support for Utility Ready Blades (URB):
          * Added URB SMTP support.  Metered information can now be communicated either through https, SMTP or both.
          * Added an additional URB metering proxy - present power.
          * Added URB Integrity Blade support for Integrity iLO3 server blades.
        * Added Enclosure Serial Number to the Insight Display (LCD) Enclosure Info screen.

            * Fixed an issue where the enclosure configuration changes are not saved if the following error messages are in the OA Syslog after a settings change:  
         CONFIG: dhclient.leases has wrong file permissions  
         CONFIG: Wrong file permissions detected.  Please reset to factory defaults.  
      The workaround is: Save the OA configuration using GUI or CLI before updating

      >
      
      >> Onboard Administrator (OA) with firmware version 3.20 may become
      unresponsive when certain Integrity server blades, StorageWorks server blades,
      and/or Workstation partner server blades are in a c-Class BladeSystem
      enclosure. The OA and its interfaces (web GUI, CLI, LCD, etc.) may become
      sluggish or unresponsive. This occurs because the OA Firmware Version 3.20
      does not properly handle Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
      network traffic with the affected server blades. The intensity of the issue,
      lack of responsiveness in Onboard Administrator, is proportional to the number
      of affected blades in the enclosure.

      > **Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap**
      
            * Caution: If Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is enabled, the changes in this feature in OA v3.10 may result in servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power", or the server may be unable to power on.   This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure. 
            * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determine that the server power request can be satisfied.  Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade.  HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.

      the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru
      modules in the enclosure:
      
      >>
      
      >>   1. Log into the OA CLI interface as an Administrator
      
      >>   2. OA> show update  
      This will show current and available firmware versions for programmable
      devices. OA 3.31 will indicate the newly available Pass-Thru PIC Firmware
      3.0.3.
      
      >>   3. OA> update device icbay <bay number | all>  
      This will update the specified interconnect bay, note that bay1 is 1A, etc.,
      as shown in the previous command
      
      >>   4. OA> show update  
      Run this again to confirm that the versions now match
      
            * Fixed an issue where upgrading from Onboard Administrator (OA) 3.11 to OA 3.20, 3.21 or 3.30, under defined circumstances, may cause Virtual Connect (VC) to disconnect its Fibre Channel (FC) connections.  This is limited to systems using a HP ProLiant or Integrity Blade with a FlexFabric Adapter (Mezzanine or LOM) and either a
              * Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connection to a VC FlexFabric module or a
              * FC connection from a FC Mezzanine to a VC FC module
      
      > > **Detailed Description:** OA firmware revisions 3.20, 3.21, and 3.30
      identify the capabilities of the embedded G7 FlexFabric Adapter LOM or
      FlexFabric Adapter Mezzanine differently than OA firmware 3.11.  If a VC
      profile had previously been created and assigned to a blade using OA firmware
      3.11, then the newer OA firmware will detect a VC profile mismatch. This
      mismatch may cause Virtual Connect to disconnect the blade FC or FCoE SAN
      connections after a VC firmware upgrade or when a user issues a VC Manager
      (VCM) reset command.
      
      >>
      
      >> **_All_** the following must be true to be exposed to this condition on a
      VC firmware upgrade or VCM reset:
      
      >>
      
      >>   * A VC profile with a SAN fabric must have been assigned to that blade
      with OA firmware version 3.11
      
      >>   * A blade must have at least one HP FlexFabric Adapter (including LOM or
      Mezzanine)
      
      >>   * The current version of OA firmware is OA 3.20, 3.21, or 3.30
      
      >>   * The blade has not been removed/reinserted, nor the OA CLI Reset Server
      command run, nor had its profile reassigned, since the OA firmware was
      upgraded to OA 3.20 or later.
      
      >>
      
      >> Note that VC profiles assigned to a blade using OA version 3.20 or later
      are not impacted.  
      Note that OA firmware version 3.11 is the first OA version to support
      FlexFabric Adapters.

        * **General**
          * Fixed an issue where an Enclosure IP failure could cause the OA to be inoperable for a short period of time during a transition from Standby to Active.
          * Fixed an issue where both OAs claim to be active resulting in network loop flooding at OA startup.
          * Fixed an issue where the CLI command UPDATE DEVICE TRAY would not execute the update.
          * Fixed an issue where Single Sign On to iLO failed.
          * Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator occasionally displayed incorrect DIMM memory total for a blade.
          * Fixed an issue where only one OA is accessible after upgrading redundant OAs from OA 3.21 to OA 3.30 where the OA continues to reboot for 30 minutes due to internal error.
          * Fixed an issue where some third party PCIe option cards could prevent the PCI Expansion blade from powering up properly. The PCI Expansion blade firmware must be upgraded to version 2.26 which is contained within OA 3.50.
          * Fixed an issue where an OA that had been up for a very long time might restart due to an out of memory condition.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA would improperly set an interconnect module health status to OK when the interconnect module had an internal fault.
          * Fixed an issue where any interconnect bay between 5 and 8 were not showing in "Show All/Show Config".
          * Fixed an issue where OA would lose its "Enclosure IP mode" during repeated failovers.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could possibly drop HTTP packets under heavy loads.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA would hang at boot step [7/16] and never recover even after flash disaster recovery.
          * Fixed an issue where some server blades would not initially power on when enclosure power cap was enabled.
          * Fixed a rare condition where the OA would clear a server blade's Virtual Serial Number and Virtual UUID during an iLO communication drop-out.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA could experience a segmentation fault after midplane replacement.
          * Fixed an issue where under rare circumstances the OA LCD service could cause a segmentation fault and reboot.
        * **CLI**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA CLI Show Enclosure Temp command does not always display temps for G7 server blades.  If no server blade temps are shown then the OA incorrectly displays the enclosure ambient temperature instead.
        * **GUI**
          * Fixed an issue with the power meter graphical view which caused Firefox timeout issues.
        * **KVM**
          * Set KVM default minimum video resolution to 800 x 600 pixels.
        * **DVD**
          * Fixed an issue where the SET SERVER DVD CONNECT command would occasionally not take effect.
        * **Network**
          * Fixed an issue where NTP can be enabled or disabled from Standby OA.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA could display stale or incorrect IP information for DHCP setting.
          * Fix an issue where the OA enabled for remote logging becomes unresponsive due to a DNS server outage.
        * **VLAN**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA GUI would not display error messages if an error occurred while saving VLAN configuration settings.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA may lose communication with an iLO under the following condition: VLAN is enabled, the blade's iLO is assigned a non-default VLAN ID different than that of the OA's VLAN ID, and an OA failover is performed.
        * **SNMP**
          * Fixed an issue where the standby OA's ping responses slow down over time and the OA could reboot due to out of memory (after approximately a month) when SNMP is enabled.
        * **LDAP**
          * Fixed an issue where the LDAP Test page (and TEST LDAP CLI command) did not properly handle a directory server at an IPv6 address.
          * Fixed an issue where the OA's LDAP server IP address was incorrectly set during a configuration upload operation.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to also consider the Subject Alternative Name field.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to enforce Valid Before/After date limits on the server certificate.
          * Enhance LDAP certificate validation to enforce CN matches when FIPS mode is enabled.
          * Enhance LDAP Certificate Authority signature checking to observe some Ext3 flags.
        * **Thermals**
          * Fixed display of Ambient Temperature Sensor on some G7 and later blades.
          * Fixed an issue where quickly removing and inserting fans could cause the OA to get out of sync with the actual fans present in the chassis.
          * Fixed an issue where a fan's status would randomly indicate a degraded or failed status and then immediately return to an OK status.
          * Fixed an issue where the "update show fan" command would not always display the correct fan slot in a c3000 enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue that caused critical fan failures when relocating mismatched fans on a c3000 enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue where OA would unnecessarily ramp fan speeds due to a temporary loss of communication with iLO.
        * **VC**
          * Fixed an issue where the OA failed to display the Flex NICs properly after a VC failover, Active VC IP address change or a VC domain name change.
          * Fixed an issue where back-to-back switchovers of the OA could result in a corrupted VC/OA configuration.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * OA 3.50 does not support SSO (single sign on) to iLO 2 (ProLiant G6, G5 or G1 server blades) when LDAP authentication is used with the syntax of <domain>\<user>. The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.  See Customer Advisory c03234658for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03234658>.
          * When LDAP-based authentication is used to access the OA, if the user name syntax contains a "," (comma), Single Sign-On (SSO) to any iLOs will fail after several attempts. An example of such syntax is:  CN=smith,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com  Once this issue is encountered, all other users (local users, LDAP users with syntaxes without a comma, or users accessing the OA via HP-SIM) are also impacted (those users will not be able to SSO to any iLO's). The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.
          * OA 3.50 (or prior) EBIPA page does not refresh the Management IP address for CBS 3020 Interconnect Modules (Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch) if the Switch firmware is upgraded from version 12.2(55)SE4 (or earlier) to version 12.2(58)SE1 (or later) without resetting the OA or the switch.

See Customer Advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01519680>.
        * **Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping**
          * **Caution:** Onboard Administrator v3.10 or later: Enabling Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping may result in one of the following: 
            * Servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power"
            * A server may be unable to power on
      This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping
      after all server blades are powered on. If the enclosure Power Available is
      lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value from a
      server blade - then that server blade could encounter this issue. The
      workaround is to increase the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping to provide more
      power available to the enclosure devices.
      
          * With Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping enabled, changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade. HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
        * **VLAN **
          * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled: 
            1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the Onboard Administrator modules.
            2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all Onboard Administrator modules.
            3. Ensure that all HP SAS Switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the Onboard Administrator modules in that enclosure.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server blades not properly cooled after a BIOS firmware upgrade. See Customer Advisory c03365221 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03365221>.
          * Security enhancements. See Security Bulletin c03315912 for more information: <http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c03315912>.
          * Beginning with version 3.50, the OA could optionally generate 2048-bit keys for use with SSH and SSL. However, on upgrade the OA would retain existing 1024 bit keys to avoid disrupting ongoing communication. To switch from 1024-bit to 2048-bit keys you needed to first reset the OA configuration to factory defaults which would cause the generation of new keys. Beginning with version 3.56, a new CLI command "GENERATE KEY" can be used to force new keys to be generated at any time, i.e. without first resetting to factory defaults. For more information, refer to the section on new features.

changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Hardware Support**
          * HP ProLiant WS460c Gen8 Workstation Blade
          * HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 Server Blade
          * HP Virtual Connect Flex-10/10D Module for c-Class BladeSystem
        * **Firmware Additions**
          * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) allows administrators to define a single firmware baseline (SPP version) for the G5, G6, G7 and Gen8 Server Blades in a c-Class enclosure.  The administrator can have the firmware updated to the baseline on server insertion, during a pre-defined maintenance window, or manually.  The Onboard Administrator maintains logs of the EFM firmware updates, and reports on compliance with the established baseline. 
            * EFM supports HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) 2011.09 or newer.  Please review the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (HP SPP) documentation and release notes for issues and information about supported firmware components, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp>.
            * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: 
              * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21)
              * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21)
          * Administrators can now define a custom Login Banner.  This can be used, for example, to display your specific Terms of Service (TOS) when logging in to the OA.
          * The OA IPv6 setting on the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings Page->IPv6 Settings tab now enables IPv6 traffic for all the devices in the enclosure (IPv6, RA, DHCPv6). 
            * The OA will display IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO
            * You must have IPv4 infrastructure to retain complete manageability through the OA; e.g. virtual media, single sign on, Enclosure Firmware Management.
          * Insight Remote Support enables health and inventory data for the enclosure to be collected by HP to expedite resolution of your issues.  Examples of data that is collected include: 
            * Enclosure name
            * Enclosure product name
            * Enclosure part number
            * Enclosure serial number
            * Enclosure manufacturer name
            * Onboard Administrator firmware version
            * Onboard Administrator IP and MAC addresses
          * New CLI command SET SERIAL BAUD "<Baud Rate>" configures the baud rate settings for the OA serial console port. Valid Baud Rate values are:  9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
          * New SHOW HEALTH CLI command provides a summary of the health/status of all components in the enclosure.
          * Beginning with iLO 3 (G7 server blades) firmware version 1.50 and iLO 4 (Gen8 server blades) firmware version 1.05 a change in the server status reported by the Onboard Administrator will be observed in cases where a server attempts to power on but power on is delayed or denied.  In addition to the diagnostic status information indicating the cause of the power delay or denial, an additional diagnostic status indication will now be reported by the Onboard Administrator indicating that the server blade is reporting an internal degraded status.  This is an intentional behavior change.
          * Enhanced the HPONCFG CLI command to allow variable substitution. HPONCFG sends a RIBCL script to the specified HP ProLiant server blades with the access level and privilege of the current user. Command syntax is as follows:  
              HPONCFG [NOAUTOLOGIN] [SUBSTITUTE [TEST] {<variable>="value" [,<variable>="value"[,]]}] {ALL | <bay number> [{ , | - } <bay number>]} {<< <end marker> | <from_url> [<to_url>]}  
      To use variable substitution, specify the token SUBSTITUTE followed by a list
      of variable assignments. Variable name and its value can include spaces,
      numbers, or any printable characters. Up to 25 variables are supported. The
      maximum length of variable name is 48 characters.  Specify TEST to review the
      RIBCL script that will be sent to the iLO without executing the script.  e.g.
      The following command line would replace the string "%NAME%" in the RIBCL
      script that gets executed with "MY_NAME":  
              HPONCFG SUBSTITUTE NAME="MY_NAME"
          * Updated OA SNMP to support the CPQRACK-MIB version 1.16.  Please see the HP Systems Insight Manager MIB Kit v9.20 for more details on the CPQRACK-MIB, <http://h18013.www1.hp.com/products/servers/management/hpsim/mibkit.html>.
          * A new warning message, "Mixing different power supply models is not supported. The power supply in bay #X must be replaced with the proper part number.", is issued and the Power sub-system is degraded when different types of power supplies are mixed in c3000 enclosures.
          * With previous versions of the OA, packet flooding conditions on the management network could cause the OA to stop processing incoming packets.  Once triggered, this condition would persist until the OA was restarted.  The current version of the OA is more resilient to this condition, and will resume normal packet processing once the packet flooding conditions have cleared.  HP continues to strongly recommend that OA network ports be separate from your production network.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General **
          * Previous versions logged transient network link status changes for the OA, servers and interconnects.  For example:  
      Apr 30 06:48:17 OA: Network link to server 6 is down  
      Apr 30 06:49:02 OA: Network link to server 6 is up
      
        * **Thermals**
          * OA 3.5x firmware versions track cumulative fan communication errors during continuous OA uptime.  Once a default threshold of cumulative errors is exceeded, the fan is marked as failed.  Some Active Cool 200 fans experience intermittent fan communication failures that will trigger this failure typically within 3 months of continuous operation, although the fans are otherwise operating normally.  Version 3.60 implements a different algorithm that avoids marking false failures with this generation of fans.  See Customer Advisory c03395857 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03395857>.
        * **IPv6**
          * Alertmail now works with IPv6.
          * The DHCPv6 lease was reset each time the OA network was restarted by an OA reboot or other network configuration changes. This resulted in the OA inadvertently failing to request its existing IPv6 address when attempting to renew its IPv6 address via DHCP and typically receiving a different IPv6 address each renewal.
          * Under some conditions, users were unable to add a second IPv6 static address or to remove static IPv6 addresses thru the WEB GUI.
          * When the user specified both the Standby IPv6 DNS Server 1 and IPv6 DNS Server 2 thru the OA WEB GUI, the information for IPv6 DNS Server 1 was inadvertently discarded.

changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Firmware Additions**
          * **FIPS**
            * FIPS, or _Federal Information Processing Standards_, is a set of publications that document standards for implementing security. More information can be found on "National Institute of Standards and Technology" website <http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html>. OA 3.70 provides a user selectable FIPS Mode of operation wherein: 
              * only FIPS 140-2 approved algorithms such as AES, 3DES and SHA are permitted,
              * strong passwords are enforced,
              * integrity self-tests are performed whenever encryption services are used (Known Answer Tests - KATs),
              * and partition integrity checks on boot are performed.
            * Enabling FIPS mode on an OA module or redundant pair of OA modules automatically forces the OA module(s) to be reset to factory defaults due to FIPS requirements. Please configure the OA module(s) for FIPS mode operation prior to performing any other enclosure or OA configuration including configuration of Virtual Connect.
            * Some features are permanently disabled in FIPS mode for compliance reasons: 
              * Telnet access
              * Enclosure IP mode
              * SNMP
              * OA Firmware downgrades
              * Set Factory Defaults
              * Upload support dumps
              * Disable strong passwords
              * Disable LCD PIN protection
            * The default security settings in OA 3.70 have been upgraded and are now equivalent to prior version's "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting. The "Enforce Strong Encryption" setting has been removed from OA 3.70.
            * Upon changing FIPS modes, all security related data is cleared from the OA, including certificates, keys, and other critical security parameters. Please refer to the security section in the Onboard Administrator user guide for more information.
            * FIPS is not supported on the following OA Hardware Modules: 
              * HP BladeSystem c3000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 448589-B21, 461514-B21)
              * HP BladeSystem c7000 Onboard Administrator (PN# 412142-B21)
          * **GUI**
            * Internet Explorer 10 (IE 10) is supported in compatibility mode only.  The IE 10 "Windows 8 - Style UI Mode" is not supported.
            * OA GUI Management Console now allows login to 6Gb SAS Interconnect module Interfaces if VLANs are defined for the Interconnect modules.
          * **IPv6**
            * OA 3.70 adds a group box in the Management Processor Information tab on the iLO - Device Bay page, where a radio button is displayed to allow selection of the current IPv4 address and all IPv6 addresses assigned to the iLO.

          * IPv6 support to EBIPA (Enclosure Bay IP Addressing) for interconnect modules and server blades
          * Language Pack Support to allow for Japanese and Chinese GUI interfaces
          * SNMP3 support
          * Enhanced the UPDATE ILO CLI commandto to support server blades with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled
          * The sender's email address for alertmail notifications
          * Monitoring of status of battery on OA module(s) with low battery level indication reported as OA diagnostic status.  When a low battery level status indication is encountered, the spare battery kit (HP p/n 708907-001) should be used for replacement of the battery as soon as possible as enclosure configuration settings may be lost if the OA loses power.
          * Two-Factor Authentication user certificates no longer require the "sslclient" property to be set.
          * Removed support "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as supported SSH key exchange option by default.  This may impact the ability of older SSH clients which do not support more contemporary and secure SSH key exchange options to connect to OA modules running OA 4.01.  This can be re-enabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * Partnering alert on HP BladeSystem Insight Display LCD may not be cleared. See Customer Advisory c03801002 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03801002>.
          * When running OA firmware versions 3.6x or 3.7x with the OA deployed in a large, flat management network topology, the OA reboots after logging an OA system log similar to the following: 
            * Nov 11 22:04:54 Kernel: Out of Memory: Kill process 10562 (iptables) score 822 and children.
          * KVM connections to iLO 2 server blades would fail if the default Remote Control Telnet port was changed in iLO.
          * HP Insight Management does not properly report partnered blades installed in lower slots when associated with a full height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL680c. This issues does not occur when the partner blade is associated with a half height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL460c.
          * Insight Display reports a config error when HP Integrity BL890c i2, HP Integrity BL870c i2, or  HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blades are paired with a tape storage blade.
          * OA 'Link loss failover' does not function properly after performing OA FW SYNC.
          * Primary OA would stop responding to network requests with a "HTTP service is unresponsive" error message under certain management network configurations.
          * The OA firmware behavior related to downloading files via a URL specifying authenticated FTP as the protocol has changed.  This new behavior results in the home directory of the specified user being used as the relative root path in the URL.  A double "//" must now be specified at the beginning of the path specification within the URL in order to specify an absolute path that avoids the use of the specified user's home directory in the path.  For example: "ftp://user:password@host//path/to/file" will specify an absolute path of /path/to/file while "ftp://user:password@host/path/to/file" will specify a path to /home/user/path/to/file.
        * **Alertmail**
          * False alertmail messages are sent indicating the enclosures status as degraded followed by another message indicating the status has changed to OK.
        * **Authentication**
          * When the OA is enabled for Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates, previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection.  The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates.
          * OA reboots with a segmentation violation when uploading a user certificate with an invalid certificate authority (CA) path.
        * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
          * The OA EFM configuration would be improperly configured after restoring a previously saved OA configuration script.
          * When observing the EFM update process from a server blade console, note that manual user interaction with any user dialog screens presented can cause the EFM process for that server blade to fail.
        * **FIPS**
          * When FIPS mode has been enabled for the OA module(s) within an enclosure and a redundant OA which does not have FIPS mode enabled is later introduced into the enclosure, the current FIPS mode configuration will not be successfully synchronized to this newly introduced OA module.  To work around this issue, it is recommended that the OA module be reset to factory defaults prior to being introduced into a redundant OA configuration where FIPS mode has been enabled.
          * When FIPS mode is enabled for a redundant OA configuration, the automatic synchronization of FIPS mode configuration from the active to the standby OA module will trigger a reset of the standby OA module to factory defaults.  This operation will be incorrectly recorded in the OA syslog as having been performed by the "Insight Display" user.
        * **GUI**
          * Script error displayed on flashing OA 
            * Issue 1: An alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" may occur if connectivity to the OA is lost. This can be safely ignored, and the user can sign in after the connection is restored.
            * Issue 2: An alert titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" may occur on a remote GUI session when flashing the OA. This may be safely ignored.
        * **Integrity Server Blades**
          * Under rare circumstances, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade installed in a HP BLc7000 Enclosure configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover.  See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140>
        * **Interconnects**
          * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. 
          * Some BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to connect or may experience excessive errors in certain scenarios after an I/O module is inserted into an enclosure that is already operating with OA firmware 3.6x/3.7x.

changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * HP LPe1605 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-Class.
          * HP Smart Array P230i Controller.
        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **Authentication**
            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to include sub-tree search of the configured search contexts.
            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to perform sub-tree search at specified search contexts.
          * **Enclosure iLO Federation**
            * In versions of OA firmware prior to OA 4.11, ILOs within an enclosure were not able to communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion.  If you wish to enable iLO Federation between blades in an individual enclosure, the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option in the OA must first be enabled. In addition to enabling this support for the enclosure, you must also enable the necessary support individually for any desired blades through the iLO user interfaces.  The Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option is enabled by default. Please ensure that this setting is disabled if there are any concerns with enabling peer-to-peer communication between iLOs within the enclosure.  The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands.
          * **FIPS**
            * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting.
          * **HP Insight Remote Support**
            * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration.
            * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode.
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses.
            * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands.
          * **Security**
            * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol.
            * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default. Support for "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option was disabled in OA 4.01 by default. This can be disabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command if required. Note that updating to OA 4.11 will not change the current setting but resetting the OA factory default settings will result in"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" key exchange being enabled. Any saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
        * **Browser Support**
          * Updated web browser support as follows: 
            * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
            * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
            * Google Chrome.

            * Added Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) link support for accessing iLOs and Interconnects. 
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA fully supports operation in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6-only management network including management of IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices such as iLO and interconnect modules. To use IPv6 networking, you should review the  OA IPv6 settings and customize them as necessary for your specific IPv6 environment. Note that if routing between IPv6 management networks is required, the routing configuration of the OA and enclosure infrastructure devices may be performed either via external IPv6 router advertisements or, starting with OA 4.20, via static configuration of an IPv6 gateway. After completing the necessary IPv6 configuration of the OA, you may then access any IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices via its supported user interfaces and perform management actions from the OA.
            * Modified factory default state of IPv6 enclosure level settings (IPv6, DHCPv6, and SLAAC) from "disabled" to "enabled" by default to better support default connectivity to the OA in IPv6-only management network environments. Note that updating to OA 4.20 will not change the configuration of these settings but any subsequent reset to factory defaults will result in these settings being enabled. Any previously saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
            * Added support for configuration of a static IPv6 gateway as an addition to the previously existing static IPv6 network settings for the OA module.
            * Added support for configuration of an IPv6 gateway for blade server iLOs and interconnect modules via the Enclosure Bay IP Addressing for IPv6 feature.
          * **Interconnects**
            * Added two new CLI commands to support the "BLc SX1018HP" switch only: 
              * SET INTERCONNECT ADMIN_PASSWORD FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - resets the Interconnect management password back to the factory setting.
              * SET INTERCONNECT FACTORY [ <bay number> ] - performs a factory reset on the Interconnect.
          * **SNMP**
            * In some instances, SNMP changes successfully configured from the OA user interface can fail to be processed properly most notably resulting in the OA failing to send SNMP traps to configured SNMP alert destinations.  
      
      
        * **Browser Support **
          * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
          * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
          * Google Chrome.

        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **General**
            * Support for configuration of boot order settings for UEFI-capable blades operating in UEFI boot mode.
            * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.  This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade.  Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server.
          * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
            * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs.
          * **Security**
            * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG.
            * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. 
          * **IPv6**
            * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
      **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)

        * 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.

changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Version 4.31 New Feature:**
          * Added support for HP OneView management of enclosure configurations that do not include HP Virtual Connect interconnect modules.  
      
      
        * **Version 4.30 Features Additions and Changes: **
          * **New Hardware Support:**
            * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 Server
            * Smart Array 12Gb SAS Controller
            * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650FLB Adapter
            * HP FlexFabric 20Gb 2-port 650M Adapter
            * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 536FLB Adapter
            * HP Adapters QDR/EN 10Gb & FDR/EN 40Gb 544+M
            * HP 2650W High Voltage Power Supply
            * HP High Voltage Power Module
          * **General:**
            * Support for configuration of boot order settings for UEFI-capable blades operating in UEFI boot mode.
            * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.  This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade.  Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server.
          * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
            * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs.
          * **Security**
            * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG.
            * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. 
          * **IPv6**
            * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.
