A time-stamping service supports assertions of proof that a datum existed before a particular time. * 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\.

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. * Keeps track of the creation of a packet. A time-stamping service supports assertions of proof that a datum existed before a particular time. * 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. * Flint utility allows performing an MD5 checksum on the non-persistent sections of the firmware image. For further information, please refer to MFT User Manual. * Improved TX signal integrity for Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) compliance. * Optic modules thermal sensing - Enables the firmware to read and report the temperature of the module. * PLDM for module thermal sensing - Supports platform-level data models and platform functions in a platform management subsystem.

(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 the default value of the PCIe target_link_speed to Gen3 in link control2. * Fixed an issue which prevented LEDs from blinking when the traffic was less than 0.1% of the link speed. * Fixed an issue which caused the mlxconfig configuration of VF_LOG_BAR_SIZE to be ignored and to be set to 5 (32MB). * A server getting into a Standby mode while Packet-Pacing is enabled might cause firmware to hang and driver call-trace. * Fixed an issue which caused unexpected QoS functionality in case of multiple sources to single destination traffic transmission. * Fixed an issue which occasionally caused the RX traffic to hang in DC when received a PCI error on WQE fetch. * Fixed OOB connection issue during Intel's ITP inject errors test. * 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. * Fixed a UEFI IPv6 PXE boot failure on ConnectX-4 Lx 25GbE OCP card. * Fixed an issue which prevented Vport counters from counting local loopback packets.

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.

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. - *Enhancements/New Features** > **Hardware Support** > > * Added support for the HP BLc7000 2400W Platinum Power Supply > > **Firmware Additions** > > * Added support for IPv6. > * Added support for Virtual LAN (VLAN) networking within the c-Class enclosure. > * Added support for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1. > * Added support for Internet Explorer 8 in compatibility mode only. > * Added support for Mozilla Firefox 3.5. > * Added support for logging blade correctable and uncorrectable memory 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. - *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."

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.

Failure to upgrade the OA before inserting a Gen8 blade in the enclosure will result in a profile pending status with Virtual Connect. * Versions of the OA prior to OA 3.30 will not properly configure Gen8 server blades and should _not _be used. * **HP SIM Support** * Version 6.1 and 6.2 of HP SIM do not discover and associate enclosures running OA versions 3.30 or later. If you are running HP SIM v6.1 or 6.2, please do not update to OA 3.30 or later until you've applied all patches available for your HP SIM version, or upgrade your HP SIM to v6.3 prior to upgrading your OA environment. If running versions of HP SIM prior to v6.1, you must upgrade to HP SIM v6.3 or later prior to upgrading to OA 3.50 or later. * **Enclosure Power Subsystem** * 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." Flagged power supplies continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. 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. **Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **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. OA 3.55 refreshes the correct IP address automatically. - Updating to OA 3.56 is optional, though if you are experiencing security issues outlined in the release notes or thermal issues with a HP BL460c Gen8 server blade then you should consider updating to OA 3.56. - *Important Notes** * **HP Gen8 Blade Support** * OA 3.30, OA 3.31 and OA 3.32 will correctly power up and perform the initial configuration of Gen8 Server Blades. However, when used with Virtual Connect, subsequent configuration changes to the network and storage profiles may not be handled properly resulting in incorrect port configurations. OA 3.50 is required for use with Virtual Connect and Gen8 blades.

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. - *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. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **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. - *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. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * If using OA 3.6x, HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosures containing both of the following power supply models show the power subsystem degraded, with one or more power supplies being marked as mismatched. See Customer Advisory c03509204 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03509204>. * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 437572-B21 * Spare part number 441830-001 * HP 1200W Common Slot Silver Hot Plug Power Supply Kit * Part number 500172-B21 * Spare part number 498152-001 - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **General ** * The power subsystem might be reported as degraded and the HP 1200W Common Slot-48VDC Hot Plug Power Supply DC power supplies (HP part number: 437573-B21) as failed due to a device mismatch when running OA firmware 3.6x or 3.70 in a c3000 enclosure. See Customer Advisory c03571787 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03571787>. * Intermittent issue where server name was reset to default after power cycle. * Intermittent issue that would incorrectly reflect the HP 6120XG Ethernet Blade Switch and the HP ProCurve 6120G/XG Blade Switch status after the switch was rebooted or after a switch firmware update was performed. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * None - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * **Authentication ** * When the OA is enabled for 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. * **Integrity Server Blades** * Under rare circumstances an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade 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>. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed** * 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. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware Additions** * HP 2650W HE PSU power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. * Brocade 16Gb/16 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch for HP BladeSystem c-Class * Brocade 16Gb/28 SAN Switch Pwr Pk+ for HP BladeSystem c-Class * HP 6125XLG Blade Switch * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534FLB Adapter * HP FlexFabric 10Gb 2-port 534M Adapter * HP QMH2672 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-class * **Features Additions and Changes** * 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. * **Browser Support** * Updated web browser support as follows: * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, and 10 * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 * Google Chrome - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **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. See Customer Advisory c03811228 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03811228> * **LDAP** * Enhanced LDAP authorization to distinguish the same user name in different LDAP Groups. * **OA Upgrade** * The OA flash process completes successfully although 88% is the highest percentage reported. * **Power** * The OA would incorrectly display an 'AC Subsystem Overload' alert message due to a transient power condition related to the Dynamic Power Saving mode. * SHOW POWER CLI output does not immediately reflect power configuration changes made by SET POWER MODE * **SNMP** * The OA reboots with an out of memory condition due to many SNMP MIB Walk requests after being active for long periods of time. * SNMP not accessible from standby OA IP with OA 3.56 through OA 3.60. * **VLAN** * Slow OA and virtual media access with 3.60 and later when VLAN functionality is enabled. * OA firmware sync feature does not work when VLAN is enabled. - *Enhancements/New Features:** * **Hardware** * Added support for the "HP 2650W HE PSU" power supply for the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **Problems Fixed ** * **General** * OA 4.02 includes fix for CVE 2014-0224. HPSBMU03058 rev.1 - HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator (OA). * 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. - Users should update to OA 4.12 if their system is using OA 4.11. **Optional** - Users should update to OA 4.12 if their system is using an OA version prior to OA 4.11 and is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. - *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.

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. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. - *Recommended** \- Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using OA 4.20 or 4.21. **Optional** - Users should update to OA 4.22 if their system is using an OA version prior to OA 4.12 and is affected by one of the documented fixes or if there is a desire to utilize any of the enhanced functionality provided by this version. - Patched the support for SSL/TLS MITM Vulnerability CVE-2014-0224 <http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt> - Addressed an issue where OA-iLO communication breaks when OA 4.22 is used with ILO-2 2.27, ILO-3 1.82 and ILO-4 2.10.

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.

For more information, see the OA user guides. - *Firmware Dependency** For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>. **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) **Browsers** * After logging in to the OA GUI via the Google Chrome browser (Chrome-v34.0.1847.116 m or greater), the OA web application fails to load properly. The OA GUI login screen may display the warning: "Your browser does not have the required functionality to run the application." * When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the results of a configuration script fail to load properly after uploading and executing a configuration script using a local file from the OA web GUI. This issue was seen only when more than one script was uploaded without refreshing the page **EBIPA** * Enclosure devices (including interconnect modules) fail to be configured with the Link Local address corresponding to the IPv6 gateway specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings. This issue only occurs when an IPv6 other than the Link Local address of the gateway is specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings and will only occur for certain gateway server devices. **Serial Console** * When logging in to connect to the OA via the serial port, if a user enters the **@** key as part of the login user name or password, the entered line is erased. * When the baud rate for the OA serial port is configured to a value greater than the default 9600, attempts to directly paste saved commands or text into an open OA serial console session results in truncation or corruption of the pasted data. **SNMP** * No response received to a UDP network request sent from a client to an enclosure device such as iLO or an interconnect module. This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module. - *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 issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - **General** * * Cipher suites are now configured and displayed using their RFC 5246 standardized names. * **EFM** * The maximum valid length of the Firmware Management ISO URL has been increased to 511 characters. o **FIPS** This version of the OA addresses FIPS 140-2 certification requirements and is in the In Process list located at <http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf>. Added support for FIPS 186-4 approved RSA key generation used in SSL/SSH keys and certificates Added support for the cipher TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Upgrading to this version of OA will replace old DSA keys with 2048-bit RSA keys to meet FIPS 140-2 requirements * Replaced the MD5 password hashing algorithm with the stronger SHA256 algorithm when the Onboard Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG. As a result of this change, OA 4.40 supports a maximum of 21 local users in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG. * Prevention of 1024-bit SSH/SSL key generation. - *General** * Devices with MAC addresses ending with "81:00" (such as f8:66:f2:6d:81:00) were unable to communicate with the OA. Some examples of the observed symptoms were: Attempts to ping the OA from the device fail The OA cannot use such a device as a gateway The OA GUI and CLI cannot be used from this device * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account that had OA administrator level privileges.This problem only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module. o When running OA firmware 4.0x, 4.1x, or 4.2x, the OA could erroneously report fans and/or power supplies as missing or failed even though they were not physically removed or failed. When this issue occurred, after a few seconds the affected fans and/or power supplies would reappear as normal. There are no known functional impacts associated with this issue other than associated brief status reporting anamolies. o When the CLI CONNECT SERVER command is issued to connect to the server as an LDAP user, the text console session opens successfully but the "wget: not an http,https or ftp url: http:/<IP Address> /xmldata?item=cpqkey" message is displayed. o In rare cases, the following message was logged in the Standby OA syslog during a redundancy role transition initiated by the CLI FORCE TAKEOVER command: "CERTS: Failed to open flash" This had no functional impact; the entry could be ignored. **Documentation** * In the September 2014 (Edition 23) HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator CLI User Guide for OA 4.30, within the description of the SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command, a command showing recommended values had the BODY MINRATE value as 50 instead of the correct value 500. The command with the correct recommended values is as follows: SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT HEADER 3-8 MINRATE 500 BODY 5-10 MINRATE 500 This error was corrected in the October 2014 (Edition 24) document. **EFM** * In rare cases, the Active OA module would reboot expectedly during the update of the OA firmware on redundant OA modules. When this issue occurred, the Active OA module would reboot during the transfer of the OA firmware image to the Standby OA module. The OA firmware update would fail to complete successfully; a segmentation fault (SEGV) error would be logged in the Active OA system log. This issue did not cause any firmware or data corruption, and the OA firmware update could be successful if retried following the occurrence of this issue. Note that this issue could only be encountered when updating OA modules running OA 4.30 firmware. o Attempts to update the firmware failed on an HP ProLiant Gen9 server blade configured in UEFI Boot Mode or UEFI Optimized Boot Mode. When this failure occurred, the firmware log for the blade server would indicate an error similar to the following for each update attempt, including the two automatic retries that occur on failure: Jul 15 09:34:19 Unable to detect ISOLINUX booting. A final status report similar to the following would also be issued: Jul 15 10:30:33 Firmware Management is incomplete on blade <bay number>. * When using an HP Firmware Management ISO image based on a URL that includes the HTTP port (for example, <http://10.226.36.35:8080/bp-151ilo-2014-08-26-1.iso>), EFM failed to mount the image. The following error message would be displayed: Unable to mount ISO or validate version information. The URL or ISO is invalid. CLI commands affected include those that depend on the URL specification via the SET FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT URL command (such as the UPDATE FIRMWARE SERVER command and the UPDATE IMAGE FW_ISO command).** ** o The EFM firmware log would indicate "Firmware Management successfully completed on blade x" even if the iLO firmware update failed to complete successfully. **IPv6** * Configuration scripts could not be applied to another OA properly when attempting to configure new EBIPA DNS IPv4/IPv6 addresses or IPv6 routes. Attempts to change the configurations could only add new addresses to those of the previous configuration. It was not possible to replace the existing addresses with the new ones. The following CLI commands now include the ALL keyword to allow clearing of all unwanted addresses or routes: * REMOVE EBIPA SERVER DNS ALL * REMOVE EBIPAV6 SERVER DNS ALL * REMOVE OA ROUTE IPV6 <ACTIVE|STANDBY> ALL A configuration script can now use these commands to clear the previous (unwanted) EBIPA DNS IP addresses and IPv6 static routes, and then add the new ones. **KVM** * Pressing **Enter** four times consecutively on a keyboard attached to the c7000 Enclosure integrated KVM module would cause the highlighted blade server on the KVM screen to power off or on, depending on its current power state. This issue has been fixed by interchanging the **Ok**/**Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons on the **Confirm: Change Server Power** and **Change Server Power** screens so that the **Cancel** button is highlighted by default instead of the **OK** or **Confirm** button. The default focus is set on the **Cancel** button. **Security** * The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2014-3511: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching man-in-the-middle attacks to force the use of TSL 1.0 instead of the intended later version of TLS. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 ([https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546).](https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546\).# \(QXCR1001370888\)) * CVE-2007-2242: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching denial-of-service attacks via crafted IPv6 type 0 router headers between two routers, resulting in network congestion. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 (<https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546>). * CVE-2014-3567: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a DOS denial-of-service (memory consumption) attack via crafted session tickets that triggers an integrity check-failure. * CVE-2014-3513: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message. * CVE-2014-3513: SRTP Memory Leak - a memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (before 1.0.1j) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message. * This release of the OA resolves this security vulnerability by compiling OpenSSl with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP (the OA does not use DTLS and SRTP). * CVE-2014-0139: A vulnerability affecting SSL/TLS transactions that might allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certificate Authority. * [CVE-2014-0015](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0015): A vulnerability when more than one authentication method is enabled and NTLM connections are reused, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request. * CVE-2014-0138: A vulnerability affecting certain LDAP connections that might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request (similar to issue CVE-2014-0015). * [CVE-2014-2522](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2522): A vulnerability when running on Windows and using an SChannel/Winssl TLS backend. When accessing a URL that uses a numerical IP address, curl does not verify that the server host name matches a domain name in the subject's CN or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. * In addition, OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.0.1h to address multiple CVE fixes. **SSH/SSL keys** * With OA firmware later than 4.0x, attempts to add an SSH key using the OA CLI ADD SSH KEY command might fail. Intermittently, after issuing the command, the user received an error message ("The submitted file is not a valid SSH key."), in which case the command failed. **SNMP** * SNMP alerts (or traps) sent from the OA to an IPv6 SNMP alert destination are sent incorrectly to destination port 161 instead of port 162 (per RFC 1157) when no destination port is explicitly specified as part of an IPv6 SNMP alert destination configuration. * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account with OA administrator level privileges. This issue in only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements: * **Hardware Additions** * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies. Features Additions and Changes * **General** * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity. * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password. New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD] * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy. * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI. * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action. * **Remote Support** * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures. * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery. * **EFM** * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state. * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up. * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users. - **General** * Fixed an issue which was seen when connecting to the OA from HP SIM using a LDAP account with the user name containing an exclamation character (!) for the SSO. * Fixed an issue where LDAP search contexts are showing empty after firmware is upgraded in FIPS Mode. * Fixed an issue where a customer logging in to OA using AD/LDAP credentials as a member of both Domain Administrators and Domain Users groups, and where one enclosure is given Domain Administrators access to the full administrative rights of the enclosure, and the other is given Domain Users limited access * Corrected a display issue where iLO logs listed in OA shows the order of events sorted incorrectly when the events are more than a year old. The events are displayed sorted on the month and hence events that occurred in the same month in two different years are incorrectly displayed together. The sorting now considers the year also. * Fixed an issue where the Device Bay Information page does not show the Management Processor/iLO NIC details under the Server NIC Information table, when the server is powered down. * Fixed an issue where OA reports incorrect values for Caution and Critical temperature limits when a blade is in Telco Mode. * Addressed an issue where Connect Server Serial command used to fail when server * **FIPS** * Fixed an issue which prevented transition to FIPS mode OFF when the enclosure is in FIPS-Degraded state. The same failure was seen when the transition was performed on a linked enclosure which was in FIPS-Degraded state. The issue has been addressed and the FIPS mode transition is allowed. * **EFM** * Addressed issues that would result in EFM failure with the following error messages: * Failed to boot ISO * Unable to Monitor HPSUM * **Security** The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2015-0204 - A remote server can supply a weak RSA temporary key for a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite to downgrade the session security. * CVE-2015-0286 - A vulnerability in ASN1_TYPE_cmp function can be exploited to launch a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by causing a crash during certificate validation operation. * CVE-2015-3144 - A vulnerability can be exploited to allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact. * CVE-2015-3153 - The default CURL configuration sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents. * CVE-2015-2922 - A vulnerability in the Linux kernel can be exploited by sending a crafted Router Advertisement message and setting a low IPV6 hop limit and in turn cause DoS (Denial of Service). * CVE-2015-1789 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted length field in ASN1_TIME data. * CVE-2015-1791 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - Onboard Administrator 4.60 provides support for the following enhancements: * **Hardware Additions** * None. * **Features Additions and Changes** * **General** * GUI, CLI, Smart components, help files, URLs, Product Names rebranded to align with HPE branding guidelines. * Enhanced information reporting of Gen9 servers booted in UEFI mode. * Support the configuration of SNMP trap agent address when non-default VLAN is enabled on OA. * Enhanced syslog to show the flooding information when VLAN configured nodes flood the management network. * **Remote Support** * Modified to connect to the HPE remote support URL. * **EFM** * Enhanced error handling mechanism in EFM for servers in UEFI boot mode. * Enhanced EFM to display detailed name for smart array controllers . * EFM enhanced to identify more devices in the EFM report. * Enhanced the status reporting of EFM operations to align with HPSUM return codes - *General** * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed. * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled . * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset. * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements. * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER. * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed. * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP". * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off". * **Security** The following security vulnerabilities were fixed: * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via any field in crafted serialized data * CVE-2015-8605 - UDP payload length not properly checked. Addressed a vulnerability where a badly formed packet with an invalid IPv4 UDP length field can cause a DHCP server, client, or relay program to terminate abnormally. * CVE-2012-3954 - Fixed a memory leak issue in DHCPv6 daemon that could result in out of memory condition in OA. * CVE-2016-0797 and CVE-2016-0799 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that could enable security attacks by passing large amount of untrusted data to certain functions in OpenSSL. * CVE-2015-8605 - Addressed a vulnerability in IPv4 stack that can be exploited to cause a Denial Of Service via an invalid length field in a UDP IPv4 packet. * CVE-2015-3196 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that results in Denial Of Service by remote servers via a crafted ServerKeyExchange message. * CVE-2015-3195 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSL that can be exploited to obtain sensitive information from process memory by triggering a decoding failure in a PKCS#7 or CMS application. * CVE-2015-6564 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH that might allow local users to gain privileges by leveraging control of the sshd uid to send an unexpectedly early MONITOR_REQ_PAM_FREE_CTX request. * CVE-2015-6563 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH that allows local users to conduct impersonation attacks by leveraging any SSH login access in conjunction with control of the sshd uid. * CVE-2015-5621 - Addressed a vulnerability in Net-SNMP that causes a Denial Of Service and possibly allows execution of arbitrary code via a crafted packet. * CVE-2015-5364 and CVE-2015-5366 - Addressed a vulnerability in UDP stack that can be exploited in UDP flood scenario to cause Denial Of Service in the OA. - Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system. - Onboard Administrator 4.70 provides support for the following enhancements: **Hardware additions** * BL460c Gen 10. * HPE 10GbE Pass-Thru Module. * Qualified support for HPE Integrity BL8x0c i6 Server Blade.

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. - Onboard Administrator 4.71 provides support for the following enhancements: ** Security ** CAC Feature: The authentication mechanism in Onboard Administrator has been enhanced to support DoD Common Access Card Personal Identification Verification devices. This feature enhances security by supporting multi factor authentication and below are the core elements of the new Authorization mechanism listed below: * During Authentication (occurs during SSL session establishment): Verifying revocation status using Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) or Offline Certificate Revocation List (CRL). * During Authentication (after SSL session establishment): The certificate's Subject Alternate Name (SAN) or the Subject is validated against the User Principal Name (UPN) of the corresponding principal in Active Directory. * It is important to note that the local user accounts in OA are disabled in CAC mode. - *Security** The following security issues were fixed: * Removed the support to generate keys with SHA1 in FIPS mode, as per the latest FIPS standards SHA1 is no longer allowed. * Removed the support for 1024 DH primes in FIPS mode, as per the latest FIPS standards. - Onboard Administrator 4.71 provides support for the following enhancements: **Hardware additions** * BL460c Gen 10. * HPE 10GbE Pass-Thru Module. * Qualified support for HPE Integrity BL8x0c i6 Server Blade.

If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA. However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access. **Configurable SSH Port Number ** If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to default port 22 in the Active OA. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - - *Problems Fixed in version 2.04:** This firmware release resolved the following issues: **Smart Array controller:** * It is possible that a controller would become unresponsive when it was configured with a Smart Cache larger than 750MB. * Creating or deleting logical drives on a controller that has encryption enabled might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code = 0xE3. * Performing split-mirror operations on encrypted logical drives might cause the controller to halt with Lockup Code = 0xE3. * Chkdsk was running slowly. **HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 Server:** * Server might not boot if it was rebooted while a logical drive transformation was being performed. * Server might not apply deferred hard disk drive firmware updates. * Server UEFI POST messages were improved.

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. Added support for the HP BLc PCIe Expansion Blade and the HP D2220sb Storage Blade. Added support for the WS460c Gen9. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. When the system time or time zone are changed, on reboot the system time might 'jump' by the current operating system time zone offset. This issue does not occur when booting in UEFI Boot Mode. The change also removes the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for ACPI RTC Support. Addressed an issue where the system might experience a Machine Check Exception under heavy stress conditions when configured with an Intel Xeon E5-2609 processor. This issue does not affect any other processor models. Addressed an issue where the server might become unresponsive after a user has repeatedly entered and incorrect Power-On or Administrator Password.

This issue does not impact systems configured for UEFI Boot Mode. Addressed an issue where Linux dmesg might report a USB error message such as "EHCI: BIOS handoff failed" when the system was configured in Legacy Boot Mode. When this issue occurs, USB support still functions properly under the operating system and the error message is erroneous. This change only prevents the display of the erroneous message and does not impact USB functionality. Addressed several issues with the legacy USB support (USB support before the operating system loads) when the system is configured for Legacy Boot Mode. This includes addressing an issue where the system might log a 303/304 Keyboard controller failure error when certain USB KVMs are attached to the system. Addressed an issue where the SATA port numbers reported in the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly match the port numbers reflected by labels on the system. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the server may experience a high rate of corrected memory errors that result in significant performance degradation. While this issue is rare, once it occurs, the server will continue to experience a high rate of corrected errors until the server is rebooted. This issue is NOT unique to HP servers. HP recommends that users experiencing a performance issue or experiencing corrected memory error threshold events update to this revision of the System ROM before replacing any hardware components. Addressed an issue where a system running a hypervisor-based operating system may become unresponsive when a guest operating system executes certain debug commands.

Addressed an issue where uncorrectable Quick Path Interlink (QPI) errors would not be reported properly and logged to the Integrated Management Log. Previously, the system would become unresponsive during boot with no indication of a failure. Addressed an issue where systems configured Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors and 64GB LRDIMMs may experience a Machine Check Exception or NMI event when under heavy stress. This issue is not unique to HPE Servers. Addressed an issue where the HPE RESTful settings for Software Initiator iSCSI may not be available in the resource registry. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Enhancements/New Features:** This is the initial version of the firmware. **Known Issues:** None - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where systems may experience one of the following conditions: A "207 - Memory Initialization Error" message and Integrated Management Log (IML) event which results from one or more DIMMs not being initialized and in which not all installed memory will be available to the operating system; a performance degradation (caused by an excessive amount of corrected memory errors but which may not have any indication that this is the cause); or a Corrected Memory Error Threshold event logged to the IML. If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema.

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks.

Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode. When the system time or time zone are changed, on reboot the system time might 'jump' by the current operating system time zone offset. This issue does not occur when booting in UEFI Boot Mode. The change also removes the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for ACPI RTC Support.

By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates.

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks.

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML).

In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks. Added support for an FTP command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download and upload files to/from FTP servers. Added support for a Compress command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password".

This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system).

If a system experiences any of these conditions, the System ROM should be updated to this version or later before contacting service or replacing any hardware components. **Known Issues:** None - Added support for a Generic USB Boot entry in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new entry is used as a place holder for any USB device that is bootable in UEFI. The user can set the boot priority of this Generic USB Boot entry, and retain this priority for use with USB devices that might be installed in the future. Attempting to boot from the Generic USB Boot entry will result in attempting all UEFI bootable USB devices that are available in the system. The user can still control the priority of the boot entries of individual USB devices in the UEFI Boot Order list. This new Generic USB Boot entry will now be visible by default in the UEFI Boot Order after updating to this System ROM release. This new option is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode and might be configured from the HP RESTful API or the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Note: The system will attempt to boot all UEFI bootable USB devices in the order of the Generic USB Boot entry even if installed individual USB devices are configured lower in the boot order. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy menu that allows the user to select how the UEFI BIOS will scan for valid Fibre Channel (or boot from SAN) boot targets. By default, the system will now only scan for Fibre Channel boot targets that are configured in each adapter. In the past, the system would scan for all Fibre Channel or FCoE available targets, potentially resulting in long boot times and large number of entries in the UEFI Boot Order list. The boot targets for adapters can be configured using the adapter specific menu in the System Utilities, System Configuration menu, or using management software such as HP Virtual Connect or HP OneView. This setting is applicable only in UEFI Boot Mode. A firmware update of the fibre channel controller might also be required to take full advantage of this feature. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) NUMA Group Size Optimizations menu that allows the user to select how the platform will report processor grouping to the operating system. For some applications which cannot optimally handle high logical processor counts that are optimally divided into smaller groups, it might be necessary to change the default setting to get optimal performance. Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) I/O Non-Posted Prefetching performance option that allows the user to configure how the chipset balances I/O traffic for PCI-e devices. Disabling this option has been shown to provide performance benefits in a very small subset of configurations including certain Infiniband configurations that require a balanced mix of read and write traffic as well as configurations with multiple x16 devices that utilize the max bandwidth of the PCI-e bus. Since disabling the option also has a negative impact on maximum I/O read bandwidth, the overwhelming majority of configurations will benefit from leaving this option at the default. Added support for Memory Mirroring Mode. This option can be selected from the Advanced Memory Protection Mode selection. This option provides enhanced memory availability and resiliency but requires additional memory be installed to achieve the same amount of memory available to the operating system. Added support for loading the Embedded UEFI Shell Auto-Startup script from the network in addition to physical/virtual media. The URL describing the network (HTTP or FTP) location of the startup script can be configured in the System Utilities /Platform Configuration (RBSU), under the Embedded Shell menu. This allows for using the Embedded UEFI Shell as a scriptable deployment environment without the need for physical or virtual media (on a bare metal system). Added support to Standard Format Output (SFO) to the SysConfig command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. This allows for easier parsing of the command output using Shell scripts. Added support for boot from URL (HTTP or FTP) functionality in UEFI Boot Mode. The network settings (DHCP or static IP) and boot file URL can be configured in the new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Pre-Boot Network settings menu. The file can either be a UEFI Network Boot Program (NBP), or an ISO image containing a UEFI bootable OS image. The Boot from ISO support is currently limited to operating systems that have a self contained OS image (such as WinPE, mini Linux, or VMware ESX installer). Booting Windows or Linux OS installation media is currently not supported. Added support for a webclient command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to download files from HTTP and FTP servers. It can also be used to download ISO CD/DVD images and mount them in memory as RAM disks.

The command can be used to compress and decompress ZIP files. Added support for a SecBoot command in the Embedded UEFI Shell. The command can be used to display the Secure Boot keys and certificates. Enhanced the RamDisk command in the Embedded UEFI Shell to support FAT32 RAM disks, increasing the disk size limit from 512 MB to 2GB. Added support for the HP Dual 8GB MicroSD EM USB Kit. This device can be plugged into the internal USB port on the server to allow a mirrored MicroSD card solution. Added support to configure the BIOS Serial Console Baud Rate to 38400 from the System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). Added a new System Utilities BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) Internal SD Card Slot menu located in USB Options that allows the user to disable boot from the embedded SD card. Added support for Intel Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT). Updated OpenSSL support to version 0.9.8zb to address potential issues that might impact the UEFI Secure Boot support. Updated the HP RESTful API HP BIOS Attribute Registry resources to match the latest BIOS/Platform Configuration options. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBiosAttributeRegistrySchema to version 1.2.0, adding support for BIOS Attributes of type "Password". Also added a new GrayOut property that can be used to describe some dependency scenarios. Also updated enumDescriptions of all enum definitions in the schema. Updated the HP RESTful API HpBios, HpServerBootSettings, HpBiosMappsings schemas to version 1.1.0. Added support for self-links in these resources. Updated the language translations (non-English modes) for System Utilities. Updated help documentation for System Utilities and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Increased timeout values in Embedded UEFI Shell IfConfig command to reduce the chances of network DHCP configuration failing due to timeouts caused by delays on the network or slow response when trying to contact the DHCP server. Enhanced the UEFI Exception handler to provide extended debug and trace information when in a pre-OS environment. - *Important Notes:** None **Firmware Dependencies:** None **Problems Fixed:** Addressed an issue where the FwUpdate Embedded Shell Application and the Firmware Update pre-boot application could hang during a firmware update and not successfully flash the device. Addressed an issue where the system might become unresponsive during boot when an unsupported memory configuration is installed on processor 2. With this unsupported configuration, in this situation there is no user feedback on the monitor or in the Integrated Management Log (IML). With this revision of the System ROM, the system will properly display a message indicating the error and halt the boot process. Addressed an issue with some network devices name display in the System Utilities. Addressed an issue that would result in incorrect or corrupt UEFI boot order data, or malformed JSON output from the HP RESTFul API HpServerBootSettings resource. This also addresses an issue in configuring the server UEFI Boot Order using HP OneView and the HP RESTful API. Addressed an issue in accessing the file systems or booting to some RAID0 logical volumes off HP Smart Array controllers. This includes accessing the file system on such drivers in the System Utilities menus and the Embedded UEFI Shell. Addressed an issue that might result in the BIOS Console Redirection support using the Virtual Serial Port to become non-functional. Addressed an issue with incorrect system time in Microsoft Windows operating systems when booted in Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.

Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage. Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI). Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces. Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV. Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed. Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM. **Known Issues: **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration' When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has. If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below: Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44, SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5, SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543", SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2 The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are: enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary: cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5) cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2) When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address. When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server. - *Firmware Dependency: ** OA: Minimum firmware version: 3.11 / Recommended version: 3.21 Generic firmware dependency is documented in the HP Virtual Connect Release Notes. It can be found in the 'User Guide' section, under the URL: _[http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695_](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695) **Problems Fixed:** Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure. Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS. Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage. Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state. Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property. Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed. Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen. Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery. Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity. Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module. Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command. Resolved an issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version information did not display correctly on the OA rack firmware page. This resolution requires OA version 3.30. Resolved an issue with VC Manager failing to retrieve configuration generation number from VC Ethernet Module. Resolved an issue where the network nativelan setting cleared after adding another network. Resolved an issue where an hpvcm_deleteManagedObjects return code error occurred when deleting a profile. Resolved an issue that delayed the startup time on an enclosure with eight Flex-10/FlexFabric modules.

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 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.

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.

The following message would be reported - "Device appears more than once in tree". The firmware installation failure was not observed in configurations having only one external drive enclosure attached to an HPE Host Bus Adapter H22x. - Disable controller lockup (lockup 0x13) that was caused by rare correctable errors in the controller on-chip memory. - Drive temperatures for SATA drives might not be reported after hot-inserting the drive. - Added more troubleshooting capability, especially for Bloomberg. - Increased performance of SATA drives by increasing command queue depth. - Drive temperatures for SATA drives might not be reported after hot-inserting the drive. * System might hang at POST following a reboot. * System fans might go to 100% if connected drives were spun down. * SATA SSD's were incorrectly marked as worn out. - **Customers who already installed firmware version 8.00 do not need to update to 8.00 (B).** - Updated to support Service Pack for ProLiant version 2017.07.0 **Note:** If version 8.00 was previously installed, then it is not necessary to upgrade to version 8.00 (B). - Updated to support Service Pack for ProLiant version 2017.07.1 **Note:** If version 8.00 was previously installed, then it is not necessary to upgrade to version 8.00 (C). - System can potentially stop responding with no lockup code due to livelock condition where the RAID Stack thread is polling a queue for a completion to be returned by the base code firmware - *Problems Fixed:** * In rare cases, the Smart Array controller would become inaccessible after multiple IO module resets were performed. If a controller lockup occurred because of this issue, the error code 0xAB would display in the following locations after a subsequent server reboot: * Server POST * System event log * ADU reports / HPSSA diagnostic reports - Added support for Storage Spaces when attached to Gen 9 HBA. - *Following issue is fixed in this version of firmware:** Changed the settings in the SAS Expander to support disk discovery when 12Gb SAS HDDs are installed in the enclosure - ENHANCEMENTS - Intial release. - FIXES - Fixed an issue to align hp-health status messages. - Fixed an issue to stop pagination of IMLs when in script mode. - The "hp-snmp-agents"and "hp-health" initialization scripts are enhanced to check for the existence of a support IPMI stack. - ENHANCEMENTS - Added support for HP ProLiant G6 servers. - ASR time-out value can be set from hpasmcli when ASR is enabled. - Updated the installation instructions in hp_mgmgt_install man page. - Removed the script dependency between the hp-health and hp-snmp-agents RPM.
