If this error occurs, the system will not boot from any boot device attached to an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and will be unable to access data on drives attached to the HP H2xx HBA. The fault is triggered if the link between the HP H2xx HBA and the drives goes down during link tuning process. Updated firmware will no longer trigger this fault and the link is now allowed to re-establish itself. This issue is seen only with Solid State Drives (SSD). - Customers who already installed firmware version 15.10.07.00 do not need to update to 15.10.07.00 (B). - *Problems Fixed in version 15.10.07.00:** * Resolves POST error 'MPT BIOS Fault 13h'.

As a result, the teardown flow took a lock, and never released it because it was being aborted by an FLR. **Fixes submitted in version 16.27.1016:** * Fixed an issue that caused the device to perform DMA into memory already returned to the OS during the transition between the pre-boot driver to the OS driver. * Out-of-range issue when reading or writing the q_counters. * Fixed an issue that in Multi-Host adapter cards that resulted in wrong handling of PERST on auxiliary links. * ZTR counters query was always set to return 0. * The adapter card was prevented from going into the bypass mode when the BMC disabled the hardware arbitration. * A non-standard tool was required to perform the first LFWP patching when used with the GA firmware version. * Updated the OOOSLMask behaviour. Firmware now will apply OOOSLMask even if it is set to zero (OOOSLMask = 0). * Redundant page consumption in the init_hca. * The sw_reset option was not supported when ATS was enabled. * When ESWITCH_IPV4_TTL_MODIFY_ENABLE configuration was enabled in mlxconfig, there was performance degradation in small packet sizes. * Due to the string DB not being updated after Live-Patch, the tracer could not function after Live-Patch. * Fixed a rare issue that caused other active functions to receive a malformed CQE during driver (PF or VF) unload or FLR flows. * The PCI link was not getting established when the firmware was corrupted. * FW assert was triggerred and resulted in a wrong deallocation of a resource when Packet Pacing was enabled, and a QP was being destroyed. * Firmware error was observed when FLR occurred at the same time as the teardown. As a result, the teardown flow took a lock, and never released it because it was being aborted by an FLR. - *Firmware for the following devices are updated to 12.27.4000:** 825110-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 840QSFP28 Adapter) 825111-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port 840QSFP28 Adapter) **New Feature and Changes in Version 12.27.4000:** * Added the following segments, as appeared in the PRM, to the Resource Dump: * PRM_QUERY_QP * PRM_QUERY_CQ * PRM_QUERY_MKEY * QUERY_VNIC_ENV **Firmware for the following devices are updated to 16.27.2008:** 879482-B21 (HPE InfiniBand FDR/Ethernet 40/50Gb 2-port 547FLR-QSFP Adapter) 872726-B21 (HPE InfiniBand EDR/Ethernet 100Gb 2-port 841QSFP28 Adapter) **New Feature and Changes in Version 16.27.2008:** **This release contains important reliability improvements and security hardening enhancements.
