Other user configurations were overridden. - *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 20.27.6008:** HPE InfiniBand HDR/Ethernet 200Gb 1-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06154-B21 HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06250-B21 HPE InfiniBand HDR100/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port 940QSFP56 x16 Adapter - P06251-B21 **New Features and Changes in Version 20.27.6008:** * The following are the minimal software/firmware versions that support PAM4 link speeds when connected using Mellanox NIC to Mellanox Switch and Mellanox NIC to 3rd Party Switches: * Mellanox Onyx: 3.9.0830-038 * ConnectX-6: 20.27.2008* *Note: NICs with this firmware version support Mellanox-to-Mellanox connectivity with PAM4 link speeds. * Added support for the following features: * Enabled KP4RS FEC on Active Fiber cable up to 30m. * FDR protocol. * Enabled updating End-to-End (E2E) credit packets instantly. - *There are no new fixes in firmware version 20.27.6008.** - *The following issues have been fixed in version 20.29.1016:** 1. Changed the default value of DCQCN's (Data center- Quantized Congestion Notification) NP parameter min_time_between_cnps to 4 on all devices to support larger scalability of cluster. 2. An issue that prevented VXLAN packets with svlan/cvlan tag from being matched. 3. The eth_wqe_too_small counter to count ODP (On-Demand Paging) page used to fail. 4. An issue related to raising 100GbE link on ConnectX-6 VPI 100Gb/s adapter cards. 5. When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled. 6. Low performance occurred after enabling the RoCE Accelerator capability. 7. On rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR. - *Fixes in version 2.42.5000:** * PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it. * The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec. * The server hangs and results in NMI when running "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error. * In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot. * While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck. * The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed. * ibdump could not capture all MADs packets. * link did not go up after reboot. * Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions. * Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad. **Fixes in version 2.42.5044:** * Fixed an issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode **Fixes in version 2.42.5052:** * Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver's teardown. - *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 2.42.5000:** 764282-B21 764286-B21 **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 2.42.5044:** 764284-B21 764285-B21 **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 2.42.5052:** 764283-B21 **New features in firmware version 2.42.5000:** * Added support for the following features. * new TLV: CX3_GLOBAL_CONF to enable/disable timestamp on incoming packets through mlxconfig configuration. * User MAC configuration. * Automatically collecting mstdump before driver reset. * A mechanism to detect DEAD_IRISC (plastic) from TPT (iron) and raise an assert. * A new field is added to "set port" command which notifies the firmware what is the user_mtu size. * Improved the debug ability for command timeout cases **Smart Component Fixes:** * Mellanox Infiniband 544 NIC Interface Shows Incorrectly as PCI Bus:Dev.Funtion in Smart Update Manager(SUM) Report. - *Fixes in version 2.42.5000:** * PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it. * The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec. * The server hangs and results in NMI when running "mlxfwtop -d mt4103_pci_cr0" while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread).

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.

Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA. **IRC** Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal client. **EFM** To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details. **CAC** * In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled. * Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode. * If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail. * It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC. If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA. However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access. **Configurable SSH Port Number ** If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to default port 22 in the Active OA. - Onboard Administrator 4.96 provides support for the following enhancements: **Hardware additions** * None Features**: additions and changes** **General** * AlertMail feature now supports two priorities that a user can select for the AlertMail messages.. * Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM) feature is optimized to speed up the EFM update operation. * The SSL certificate of Onboard Administrator now supports Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) in **Common Name (CN) field and IP address in **SAN **field.** * Common Access Card (CAC) Authentication feature is enhanced to support a configurable timeout for the SSL session. ** Security** * Onboard Administrator supports two new TLS_DHE_RSA ciphers * FIPS TOP-SECRET mode ciphers are now supported in FIPS **ON **and **OFF **modes. * CLI commands SHOW SSH CIPHER, ENABLE SSH CIPHER and DISABLE SSH CIPHER are added to Show, Enable and Disable SSH ciphers in FIPS ON and OFF modes. - *General** * Addressed an issue where SNMP queries to Onboard Administrator OIDs were not successfully completed when VLAN is configured for Blades and Interconnects. * Addressed an issue in the Device and Rack Summary GUI page to eliminate the duplicate display of FLB and Mezz adapters information. * Addressed an issue where Interconnects were not receiving IP address from EBIPA (or) external DHCP server. * Addressed an issue where Blade Location information was not displayed correctly in SHOW SERVER STATUS ALL CLI command. * Addressed an issue where DNS record update was getting delayed in DNS server when a user configured a domain name in Onboard Administrator. **Security** * None **Issues and workarounds** **Browsers** * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit).
