  -     *Problems Fixed in version 15.10.07.00:**
      
        * Resolves POST error 'MPT BIOS Fault 13h'. 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).

changelog:
  -      Enabled access to the Synergy Console through the front panel laptop port by using a web browser.  This can be accessed by plugging a laptop Ethernet port into the Synergy front panel laptop port, opening a web browser, and navigating to [http://192.168.10.1:5800](http://192.168.10.1:5800/)
        * Synergy Console improvements to aid in the initial installation and configuration of the frame and frame components prior to importing the frame into HPE OneView:       
          * Added frame health and inventory screens which provide information related to hardware health, cabling configuration, and inventory details
          * Added compute node graphical console access directly from the Synergy Console.  Access a compute node graphical console by clicking the Actions button, selecting Integrated Remote Consoles, and clicking on the desired compute node
          * Enhanced the user feedback when connecting to OneView from the Synergy Console
          * Added frame link module diagnostic actions accessible by clicking the Actions button and selecting the FLM Diagnostics menu option 
            * Reboot:  Performs a reboot of a frame link module.  The user may select to reboot either the active or standby frame link module when a redundant frame link module is present.
            * Factory Reset:  Performs a factory reset of the frame link module(s) in the frame.  This method may be used as an alternative to performing the 10 second press and hold operation on the front panel reset button.
            * Mgmt Port Test:  Validates the connectivity of all frame link module MGMT ports.  This action is only available when the frame is unclaimed to avoid disrupting network access to HPE OneView.
          * Improved font support
        * Improved the frame cold power on sequencing so that interconnect modules are available for service when the compute nodes are powered on
        * Enhanced failure detection and error reporting to provide more granular messages and resolution across a broader range of conditions for overall improved diagnosablity.
        * Enhanced frame related content logged to the Active Health System (AHS) on the compute nodes to provide additional relevant frame context for diagnosing compute node issues.
        * Added monitoring of connectivity from the frame management network ring to the external management network.  A fault indication is reported when connectivity is lost.
        * Improved the general reliability and resilience of network connectivity between frames in a management network ring and between the ring and the external management network
        * Improved serviceability of the frame midplane to minimize impacts to the configured OneView management domain.
        * Improved the user experience associated with the frame link module reset and factory reset actions initiated by pressing the front panel reset button.  The front panel UID LED will now accurately display the FLM behavior.  A short press of the reset button (less than 10 seconds) will turn on the UID LED and result in the active frame link module rebooting.  A long press of the reset button (greater than 10 seconds) will cause the UID LED to blink and result in both frame link modules performing a factory reset.  If the frame link modules are not available, the UID LED will no longer turn on or blink in response to the reset button press until the frame link module(s) become available.  For the best factory reset experience, use the Synergy Console, click the Actions button, select FLM diagnostics, and click Factory Reset
        * Security enhancements: 
          * TLS 1.0 disabled
          * 3DES disabled
          * General security improvements

        * Fixed an issue where the Frame Link Module could not communicate with HPE OneView after user installation of a CA signed certificate chain with more than 8 total certificates (inclusive of root and intermediate certificates).  This issue caused the connection to OneView from the Synergy Console to fail.  Frame status events would also not be delivered and updated in OneView.
        * Fixed an issue where the Frame Link Module could unexpectedly shutdown in extreme operating environments where the ambient temperature was below 0 degrees Celsius.
        * Fixed an issue where HPE OneView could indicate an iLO communication timeout for an HPE Synergy compute module when the iLO setting for HPE iLO Federation Multicast Announcement Interval is set to Disabled, 30s, or 60s.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.5-2.1
changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1006:**
      
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * 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 an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
        * Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which 10.12.0780 occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.
        * Fixed wrongly implementation of SM SL2VL configuration.
        * Fixed a DC re-connect flow which in some cases 10.12.0780 sent bad completion.
        * Fixed a DC performance issue; separated DCRs 10.12.0780 SQ from the DCI SQs.
        * Fixed an issue causing the firmware to hang 10.12.0780 when running ibdiagnet. The received DiagData  
      MAD included the following values:  
       Clear_all = 1  
       PageNum = 0  
       Port_select = 0  
      To prevent the firmware from hanging, a port check was added to Set() as well.
      
        * Hardware fatal error used to occur when running "ibdump".
        * FDR10 incorrect speed indication was reported due to the usage of a translation function from the hardware speed to the PRM speed twice.
        * Invalid data was returned by EyeOpening MAD.

changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1058****:**
      
        * Fixed an issue which caused system fail when enabled SR-IOV.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused the RX to hang when triggered the SRQ limit event.
        * Fixed an issue which occasionally caused the RX traffic to hang in DC when received a PCI error on WQE fetch.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the mlxconfig configuration of VF_LOG_BAR_SIZE to be ignored and to be set to 5 (32MB).
        * Fixed an EEH error from PCI which caused firmware to hang.
        * Fixed an issues which occasionally caused the driver to hang during unload on some VLs when configuring the SM with a VL weight 0 and running traffic on it.
        * Fixed a rare case which caused an assert reported to the driver when the DC transport was enabled in the following cases: retransmission occurred and the RX received the same packet twice
        * Fixed an issue which caused the HCA to hang when enabled /disabled the VFs vports when the VFs GUIDs configuration were overloaded in the steering table.
      
      **The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1038****:**
      
        * Fixed RSOD bug.
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * 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 an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
        * Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.

        * **[Documentation fix in PRM v2.01, no changes to the firmware code.]**  
      Port asynchronous events documentation are different from the PRM. All port
      events have a type value of 0x9.  
      The following subtype values are used for the following events:  
       link down=0x1  
       link up=0x4  
       link initialized=0x5  
       lid change=0x6  
       PKEY change=0x7  
       GUID change=0x8

changelog:
  -     *Fixes in 2.40.5072:**
      
        * Fixed a race between the firmware and the hardware during driver start which blocked outbound completions.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the firmware not to send link_down event to the driver when running the close_port command.
        * Fixed an issue where in rare cases the Auto Sense failed to detect the right protocol.
        * Fixed signal integrity issue when connecting a WCS ConnectX4 mezz card to Pikes peak FPGA.
        * Added the option to transmit corrupted DME pages for a very short period of time at the beginning of the Auto-Negotiation flow.
        * Fixed an incorrect report of the PortRcvDataVLExtended/ PortXmitDataVLExtended counters by the firmware.
        * Fixed a rare issue which caused firmware's packet injector to cut off packets when the TX was congested.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the response to TX requests to take up to 10 miliseconds in IEEE clause 72 Link Training.
        * Fixed a race between 2 iriscs which caused a QP to get stuck in burst control limit state.
        * When a QP was in error state, the firmware generated too many err CQEs at once, thus causing the cmdif responsiveness to be too slow. To prevent the above, the number of err CQEs was limited to 16 at a time.
        * Fixed an issue that caused the MAC address that was set from the OS using ifconfig to be not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
        * Fixed an issue where the ibdump got broken when running with loopback traffic.
        * Fixed an issue where the firmware took QP to firmware ownership and then released it to the hardware ownership without checking if another firmware flow owns the same QP.
        * Fixed an issue which occurred after disconnecting cable which showed the link type as IB even if the link type of the port is ETH.
        * Fixed an issue related to the HCA PoerXmitWait counter on port 2 (connected to port 2 on Switch-IB) where it started counting and reached 0xFF's regardless of connection to switch.
        * Fixed a completion error issue when ECN was enabled. The ECN usage caused ordering errors in completion queues (CQ).
        * Fixed the length calculation of UDP. The incorrect UDP length in the CNP packet caused miss-calculation of the ICRC.
        * Fixed a wrong returned status in cable info MAD when the cable was not connected.

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.

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

A second press of the server blade's power button was required to properly power on the blade.  This issue occurs after an OA reset when the server blade was powered on.
        * Fixed an issue introduced in OA 2.50 which reports an invalid power value condition and lowers the severity of the blade health status from Failed (Red X) to Major Degraded (Orange Triangle) when the OA loses communication with the iLO.

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

      >   * 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.


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

          * Fixed the issue indicated in HP Customer Advisor c01904203- ProLiant BL460c/xw460c G6 Server Blade - HP Onboard Administrator Does Not Display HP Part Number Information for ProLiant BL460c G6 Server Blades Running Certain Versions of the System ROM, <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01904203>.
          * Fixed an issue where uploading a configuration script would intermittently display "500 An internal error has occurred within Apache". The script would successfully execute but no script feedback would be displayed.
          * Fixed an issue where SET FACTORY was not properly clearing all sittings and certificates, and syslog.
          * Fixed an issue an Onboard Administrator operator would be able to force a manual failover. Now only an administrator can perform this task as documented.
          * Fixed an issue where a user would not be properly logged out of a linked enclosure when enabling Two Factor Authentication on the linked enclosure.
          * Fixed an issue where adding a new LDAP group in the Onboard Administrator would default administrator access instead of user access.
          * Fixed an issue where a standby Onboard Administrator's network settings would be reset during firmware mismatch. This correction for this issue will only take effect when both Onboard Administrators are at v3.00. 
          * Fixed an issue where the SET LDAP PORT command would set erroneous information if the command was specified without arguments.
          * Fixed an issue where SSH access to the OA could become disabled when deleting the active user with administrative access.
          * Enhanced user certificate administration. Now if Two Factor Authentication is enabled a warning message will be displayed if attempting to delete a user certificate.
          * Fixed an issue where the DVD Connect Status LCD screen would be unavailable for users with operator privilege.

          * Fixed an issue where the SHOW VCMODE CLI command would display the message "Operation failed" even though it did not actually fail.
          * Fixed an issue where an Operator-level user was not able to configure opt-out bays for Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping.
          * Fixed an issue where assigning user permissions to interconnect bays in the First Time Setup Wizard would exclude interconnect bay 8 in a c7000 enclosure even if it was checked.
          * Fixed an issue where the "enclosure dynamic power capping" status would be present on some blades but not others.
          * Fixed an issue where unassigning a Virtual Connect profile from a blade would not always update the blade's status.

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      > **Enclosure Power Subsystem**
      
            * As of Onboard Administrator v2.60, the Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680."

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

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

      > **OA Web Services Issue with OA 3.10**
      
            * Onboard Administrator (OA) v3.11 was released to address an issue found in OA 3.10, which could potentially create a condition where the OA's web services could become inaccessible and cause loss of communications with Virtual Connect Manager.
            * This issue can also be seen in OA 3.00 but doesn't manifest itself in the same manner due to additional changes in OA 3.10.  In OA 3.00, simply enabling IPv6 support will provide a workaround and OA 3.00 will function properly.  Note that IPv6 is disabled in the OA by default.

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

      > **HP SIM Support**
      
      >   * If you are running HP SIM v6.1 or 6.2, please do not update to OA 3.30
      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 a HP SIM v6.3 prior to

      >
      
      >   * 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." Flagged power supplies
      continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. See customer
      advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport

      > **Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap**
      
            * **Caution**: If Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is enabled, the changes in this feature in OA v3.10 may result in servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power", or the server may be unable to power on.   This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure.
            * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determine that the server power request can be satisfied.  Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade.  HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
      
      > **VLAN**
      
            * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled:
              1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the OA modules.
              2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all OA modules.
              3. Ensure that all HP 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the OA modules in that enclosure.
      
      **Firmware Dependency:**
      
      > For firmware compatibility information, please see HP BladeSystem Firmware
      Maintenance, <http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystemupdates.>
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      > **General**
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where false Link status may be indicated when the certain
      NIC adapters are mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module even when no
      cable is attached (as described in the Customer Advisory c02473928). OA 3.31
      contains the corrected 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru PIC Firmware version 3.0.3. PIC
      Firmware upgrade procedure is shown below.
      
      >
      
      >> **Detailed Description:** HP NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, or NC553i 10GbE Server
      Adapters may indicate a false link status when mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet
      Pass-thru module even if there is no cable attached from the Pass-thru module
      to the switch. Even if a cable is either not connected or becomes
      inadvertently unplugged, and therefore no network connectivity is present, the
      server blade front panel NIC LED status will be illuminated green, indicating
      link. In addition, the operating system will display a message similar to,
      "Local area connection is now connected." This can also cause Network teaming
      and configuration issues because the NIC will always report that there is
      link.
      
      >>
      
      >> In addition, the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) NIC status is
      displayed incorrectly when a NIC cable is unplugged under any Linux operating
      system.
      
      >>
      
      >> This only occurs with the 1 Gb Pass-thru module. 10 Gb Pass-thru and 1/10Gb
      switches do not exhibit this issue.
      
      >>
      
      >> **Resolution:** for the applicable configurations described above, upgrade
      the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru
      modules in the enclosure:
      
      >>
      
      >>   1. Log into the OA CLI interface as an Administrator
      
      >>   2. OA> show update  
      This will show current and available firmware versions for programmable
      devices. OA 3.31 will indicate the newly available Pass-Thru PIC Firmware
      3.0.3.
      
      >>   3. OA> update device icbay <bay number | all>  
      This will update the specified interconnect bay, note that bay1 is 1A, etc.,
      as shown in the previous command
      
      >>   4. OA> show update  
      Run this again to confirm that the versions now match
      
            * Fixed an issue where upgrading from Onboard Administrator (OA) 3.11 to OA 3.20, 3.21 or 3.30, under defined circumstances, may cause Virtual Connect (VC) to disconnect its Fibre Channel (FC) connections.  This is limited to systems using a HP ProLiant or Integrity Blade with a FlexFabric Adapter (Mezzanine or LOM) and either a
              * Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connection to a VC FlexFabric module or a
              * FC connection from a FC Mezzanine to a VC FC module
      
      > > **Detailed Description:** OA firmware revisions 3.20, 3.21, and 3.30
      identify the capabilities of the embedded G7 FlexFabric Adapter LOM or
      FlexFabric Adapter Mezzanine differently than OA firmware 3.11.  If a VC
      profile had previously been created and assigned to a blade using OA firmware
      3.11, then the newer OA firmware will detect a VC profile mismatch. This
      mismatch may cause Virtual Connect to disconnect the blade FC or FCoE SAN
      connections after a VC firmware upgrade or when a user issues a VC Manager
      (VCM) reset command.
      
      >>
      
      >> **_All_** the following must be true to be exposed to this condition on a
      VC firmware upgrade or VCM reset:
      
      >>
      
      >>   * A VC profile with a SAN fabric must have been assigned to that blade
      with OA firmware version 3.11
      
      >>   * A blade must have at least one HP FlexFabric Adapter (including LOM or
      Mezzanine)
      
      >>   * The current version of OA firmware is OA 3.20, 3.21, or 3.30
      
      >>   * The blade has not been removed/reinserted, nor the OA CLI Reset Server
      command run, nor had its profile reassigned, since the OA firmware was
      upgraded to OA 3.20 or later.
      
      >>
      
      >> Note that VC profiles assigned to a blade using OA version 3.20 or later
      are not impacted.  
      Note that OA firmware version 3.11 is the first OA version to support
      FlexFabric Adapters.

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

          * 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.  For more details, refer to the Customer Advisory (ID= c03246192) Onboard Administrator and Virtual Connect - HP ProLiant Gen8 Server Blades Require Onboard Administrator Firmware Version 3.50 (or Later) and Virtual Connect Firmware Version 3.51 (or Later): <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03246192>.
          * Correct configuration of HP ProLiant Gen8 server blades requires updating the Onboard Administrator to version 3.50 or later and Virtual Connect to version 3.51 or later before inserting your ProLiant Gen8 server blade into an enclosure. 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.

      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.

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

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

      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.

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

  -     *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.

      **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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.12
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * HP LPe1605 16Gb FC HBA for BladeSystem c-Class.
          * HP Smart Array P230i Controller.
        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **Authentication**
            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to include sub-tree search of the configured search contexts.
            * Enhanced nested LDAP group support to perform sub-tree search at specified search contexts.
          * **Enclosure iLO Federation**
            * In versions of OA firmware prior to OA 4.11, ILOs within an enclosure were not able to communicate in a peer-to-peer fashion.  If you wish to enable iLO Federation between blades in an individual enclosure, the Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option in the OA must first be enabled. In addition to enabling this support for the enclosure, you must also enable the necessary support individually for any desired blades through the iLO user interfaces.  The Enable Enclosure iLO Federation Support configuration option is enabled by default. Please ensure that this setting is disabled if there are any concerns with enabling peer-to-peer communication between iLOs within the enclosure.  The configuration option can be displayed or modified via the Enclosure Information->Enclosure Settings->Network Access page in the OA GUI web console, or it can be displayed via the OA CLI interface using SHOW NETWORK command and modified using the ENABLE/DISABLE ENCLOSURE_ILO_FEDERATION_SUPPORT CLI commands.
          * **FIPS**
            * Cryptographic Known Answer Tests (KATs) now run on each OA reboot and/or power cycle irrespective of the FIPS mode setting.
          * **HP Insight Remote Support**
            * Added support for the Insight Remote Support Direct Connect configuration.
            * Added CLI and GUI interfaces for importing a self-signed certificate from an Insight RS Hosting Device into the OA. This certificate is used to validate the signing authority of the Insight RS Hosting Device, which is required to allow communication with the Hosting Device when the OA is in FIPS mode.
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA supports DDNS for IPv6 addresses.
            * Added support for displaying IPv6 addresses for the associated enclosure devices for the SHOW INTERCONNECT, SHOW TOPOLOGY and SHOW SERVER commands.
          * **Security**
            * Added support for TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 as a secure communication protocol.
            * Enabled "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option by default. Support for "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as a supported SSH key exchange option was disabled in OA 4.01 by default. This can be disabled via the "SET SECURESH SERVER KEX DHG1" CLI command if required. Note that updating to OA 4.11 will not change the current setting but resetting the OA factory default settings will result in"diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" key exchange being enabled. Any saved OA configuration scripts should be updated appropriately.
        * **Browser Support**
          * Updated web browser support as follows: 
            * Microsoft Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10, and 11.
            * Mozilla Firefox ESR 17 and ESR 24.
            * Google Chrome.
