• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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).

Known Issues:

• Self-initiated reset during ATI (Adjacent Track Interference) mitigation issue, where the drive reported a 06/29/04 (Self-Initiated Reset) to the controller.  Then the controller would re-establish link with the drive and resend the command.
• Servo miscalculations that resulted in degraded drive performance.

Problems Fixed for HPD3 (B):

• Component would fail to install drive firmware for drives present in a system configured with two or more external drive enclosures attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x. The following message would be reported in the component log file - “Device appears more than once in tree”. The drive firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HP Host Bus Adapter H22x.
• Component fails to update the firmware for drives connected behind an HP Smart Array P431 controller. Component reports the firmware update was successful. However, after a power cycle, the firmware version remains unchanged.

• Fixed an issue that caused the response to TX requests to take up to 10 mili-seconds in IEEE clause 72 Link Training.
• Fixed a race between 2 iriscs which caused a QP to get stuck in burst control limit state.
• When a QP was in error state, the firmware generated too many err CQEs at once, thus causing the cmdif responsiveness to be too slow. To prevent the above, the number of err CQEs was limited to 16 at a time.
• Fixed an issue that caused the MAC address that was set from the OS using ifconfig to be not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
• Fixed an issue where the ibdump got broken when running with loopback traffic.

• 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).

• 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.

• 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.

• 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).

• CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session
• CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string.
• CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service.
• Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow.
• Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support  in OA.

Issues and workarounds

Browsers

• OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a “regression” in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
• SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer’s settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.

FIPS

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.

IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HP Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP ISO on HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

• Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed.
• Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled .
• Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset.
• Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements.
• Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER.
• Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed.
• Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from “Manual” to “NTP”.
• Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to “must be off”.

The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:

• Security
• CVE-2016-2108 – Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via  any field in crafted serialized data
