  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Call trace observed while making iSCSI target discovery using iscsiadm
  [ER104437]
  Solution: The iocb_cnt calculation was incorrect in the IO path of ping command.
  With every ping command the iocb_cnt was decremented in the IO
  response path without incrementing in the IO request path. Due to this
  the iocb_cnt overruns on the negative side, which makes it larger than
  the IOCB count at firmware level. Hence the driver always returned
  host busy command status as queueing error to the midlayer. Added fix
  to increment the iocb_cnt in the IO path of ping command.

changelog:
  -      **Online firmware flashing of drives attached to an HP Smart Array controller running in Zero Memory (ZM) mode or an HP ProLiant host bus adapter (HBA) is NOT supported. Only offline firmware flashing of drives is supported for these configurations.**
        * **Online drive firmware update available for Smart Array Controllers configured in systems running supported Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMware environments. All other OSes would require an offline update using the SPP and HP SUM.**


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD7
changelog:
  -     * Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * Added support for UEFI (Universal Extensible Firmware Interface) based servers.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD7
changelog:
  -     *Problem Fixed: **
      
        * This firmware prevents a rare condition that may occur during a WRITE SAME command sequence that may result in incorrect data being written to the hard drive. The WRITE SAME command may be used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization.
        * HPD7 (B) resolves an issue with offline flashing where the component would time out during the upgrade process.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPG6
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPG6 prevents this condition from occurring.
        * This firmware corrects "command timeouts" and seek errors which can result in poor performance or a Device Fault condition, the latter of which will result in the drive failed by the Controller or sub system.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD5
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**  
      
        * This firmware contains a change which causes the drive hardware to send one Identify frame instead of three for a link reset to mitigate potential speed negotiation issues.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD2
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * This firmware improves reliability by modifying the pivot bearing grease wear leveling algorithm, which if not implemented, could result in an increased drive failure rate for specific usage applications (eg, very long periods of small range seeks). 
        * Enhancements also include performance improvements.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPG4
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**   
      
        * The system did not recognize some drives after a power-cycle. This is due to the drive initialization process being interrupted by a reset, causing the drive to take more time than allotted to report commands.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**   
      
        * This firmware contains a change which causes the drive hardware to send one Identify frame instead of three for a link reset. When the drives are connected to a HP Smart Array E200 controller, the drive firmware must be updated to version HPD1 before the controller will detect the drives.

        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPD7 prevents this condition from occurring.
        * During a replacement drive rebuild process, a RAID Controller may create false errors. These false errors were improperly counted as true errors by the drive and resulted in a "SMART Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message. Firmware version HPD7 prevents the drive from counting these false errors and eliminates the unwarranted SMART "Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPDD
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware corrects a possible condition in which stale data might be written to the disk.  This results in unexpected data being returned in subsequent requests.  This data issue has been duplicated in laboratory firmware stress tests.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPGD

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**   
      
        * This maintenance release corrects a failure seen during a HP Insight Diagnostic hard drive test. The failure was due to Device Extended Self-Test not completing in the drives advertised Self-Test completion time. This failure is not an indication that the drive is bad or marginal.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPGD
changelog:

        * After long term use of the HDD, a rare condition might occur following a power cycle where the drive heads may land on areas of the disk containing data, which could potentially cause data loss or mechanical damage. Firmware version HPGD prevents this condition from occurring.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.
        * **HPGD (D)** resolved a component installation issue where the drive model, MB2000GCEHK, was being detected, but would fail to flash.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPDC
changelog:
  -     *Problems fixed:**   
      
        * Addressed an issue with an HP Smart Array E200 controller which could fail to discover a drive when more than one identify frame was provided during discovery.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPDA
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**  
      
        * This firmware improves background scans for media robustness, and also corrects a laboratory induced rare condition that could result in the disk not being updated with the latest cache data.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPG9
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware corrects the possibility of the drive becoming unresponsive and requiring a power cycle following a soft system reboot. This behavior appears as if the drive is no longer attached to the system following the system soft reboot. It is most often observed during Operating System Installation but can occur following any system soft reboot.

changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware reduces the possibility of the controller and drive not properly negotiating link signaling, resulting in the controller not being able to identify a drive attached to a particular port/slot during system boot up. This firmware improves signal quality between the drive and the controller.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD3
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * This firmware prevents a rare condition that may occur during a WRITE SAME command sequence that may result in incorrect data being written to the hard drive.  The WRITE SAME command may be used during RAID ARRAY parity initialization.
        * During a replacement drive rebuild process, a RAID Controller may create false errors. These false errors were improperly counted as true errors by the drive and resulted in a "SMART Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message. Firmware version HPD3 prevents the drive from counting these false errors and eliminates the unwarranted SMART "Imminent Failure" or "Predictive Failure" message.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD3
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> HPD9
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * In previous firmware revisions when the solid state drive was issued a Report Support Operation Code (RSOC) command (A3h) and the reporting options field was set to 001 , the drive incorrectly responded with 05/24/00 indicating that the RSOC command was not supported. The error was logged in the system log files. The drive should have communicated non-support using the Command Data Parameter (CDP) format. The firmware now complies with the RSOC industry standard specification.
        * Flashing drives connected behind an HP H2xx Host Bus Adapter (HBA) no longer causes an interrupt resulting in drive firmware installation failures.

            * Added Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) link support for accessing iLOs and Interconnects. 
          * **IPv6**
            * The OA fully supports operation in a mixed IPv4/IPv6 or IPv6-only management network including management of IPv6-capable enclosure infrastructure devices such as iLO and interconnect modules. 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.

        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **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 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. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.

      **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.

changelog:
  -     *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. POST message issues included the following examples: 
          * Multiple 1784 or 1787 POST messages were displayed although only one was required.
          * 1789 POST message was not displayed for a degraded Smart Cache.
          * 1739 POST message was not displayed when an unsupported dual domain configuration was connected.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2.32
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 2.32:**  
      This firmware release resolved the following issues:
      
        * With encryption enabled and a rekey operation taking place, if IO running is to Advanced Data Guarding (RAID6) volume and physical drives fail, causing the volume to go into a degraded state, and the customer enables Degraded Mode Performance Optimization via HPSSA, the controller may cease to function (POST Lockup 0xE0).
        * Controller may intermittently cease to function with POST lockup 0xE3 when HP Secure Encryption and large cache writes are enabled.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 6.60
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features**: 
      
        * Enhanced the controller SAS discovery logic to tolerate devices that may be resetting.
        * Added a new POST message 1813 to indicate bad or failed battery charge circuit.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 6.60
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 6.60:**  
      This firmware release resolved the following issues:
      
        * After a mode toggle at EFI ORCA was performed, the controller name would not be displayed when running the command: "reconnect -r".
        * Controller displayed a POST error message 1805 "Cache Module Super-Cap is not installed" when the controller was configured to work without super-capacitors.
        * Corrected thermal behavior with HDDs.
        * Controllers configured with one or more SATA spare drives and firmware version 6.40 (or earlier) may halt with "Lockup Code = 0xAB" after 64, 128, or 256 days.
        * HP Smart Array P812 controller onboard expander firmware was updated to version 3.12 to enforce 3Gbps SATA connection speeds which is the maximum supported SATA data rate on HP Smart Array P212, P410, P410i, P411, P711m, P712m, and P812 controllers.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 6.00
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed in version 6.00:**  
      This firmware release resolved the following issues:
      
        * When executing kdump on systems running in Zero Memory RAID (ZMR) mode, the controller might halt.
        * When an HP Smart Array P420 controller was attached to both an expander backplane and non-expander backplane, the controller would not properly control SmartCarrier LEDs.
        * Chkdsk was running slowly.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 6.00-2
changelog:
  -     *Enhancements/New Features for 6.00 (B):**
      
        * Added support for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 6.10
changelog:
  -     *Problems Fixed:**
      
        * The controller would report 0xE0 error to HP Smart Storage Administrator and would cease to function when set to RAID 6 mode.
        * Intermittent SSD SATA 6G drive failure in Bay 1 of the HP ProLiant BL465 Gen8 Server.
        * Uncorrectable ECC errors causing controller to hang (Lockup 0x13).  Smart Array firmware calculates the maximum controller memory bandwidth required to sustain streaming write operations with the current logical drive configuration and reduces the cache memory speed on configurations that do not require peak controller memory bandwidth.  When running at the slower memory speed, less power is consumed and performance degradation is expected to be negligible.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2012.08.15
changelog:
  -     Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors.
      
      Added support for Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU).  When used with
      an operating system/hypervisor that support this functionality, IOMMU provides
      performance and security benefits. This functionality is disabled by default
      and is controlled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option.
      
      Added support for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV). SR-IOV can provide
      performance benefits in virtualized environments if the Operating
      System/hypervisor and installed I/O card support SR-IOV. This functionality is
      enabled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option. It is
      disabled by default. When enabled, the System ROM will configure devices that
      support SR-IOV for use under a supported Operating System. Please consult the
      proper Operating System and Network Adapter documentation for a list of
      supported configurations.
      
      Added support for Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory modules.  This revision of
      the System ROM must be installed on the server prior to installing LRDIMMs as
      the server will not boot with previous revisions of the System ROM with these
      DIMMs installed.
      
      Added support for the HP ProLiant DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC. This
      revision of the System ROM supports ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC331i
      embedded NIC and ProLiant DL585 G7 servers with the NC375i embedded NIC. The
      DL585 G7 with the NC331i embedded NIC is not supported with previous revisions
      of the System ROM.
      
      Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu
      that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information
      Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems
      with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating
      system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu
      that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory.  The option
      defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some
      Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available
      memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an
      Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used,
      configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to
      allow use of all installed memory.
      
      Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML).
      Certain errors that may have resulted in a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
      (Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or VMware Purple Screen of Death) or
      system reset without an IML entry will now have an IML entry indicating the
      error type.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language
      translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

      Resolved an issue where systems configured with 1TB or more memory would reset
      unexpectedly after running for approximately 90 hours. The unexpected reset
      would be reported in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as "The system
      experienced an unexpected reboot. The Integrated Management Log (IML) may
      contain an entry indicating additional information about this reboot". Systems

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue that could result in a server reset or the inability to
      boot. Servers should be updated to this revision of the system ROM to minimize
      the potential for a system reset or the inability to boot.
      
      Resolved an issue where industry standard tools, operating systems, and HP
      utilities may report less Level 3 (L3) cache than expected.
      
      Resolved an issue that can result in significantly increased boot times and
      potentially degraded performance in an OS environment when 1 Terabyte (TB) of
      memory is installed and the One Terabyte Memory Limit option is configured to
      Enable All Memory in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue was a
      result of improperly configuring processor cache settings. This issue does not
      exist with any other memory configurations.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may halt during boot when the HPC
      Optimization Option is enabled and the Power Profile mode is set to Maximum
      Performance or Custom. The halt may occur when the Power Profile is set to
      Custom with the Minimum Processor Idle Power State set to No C-states, and the
      HP Power Regulator is set to either HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode, HP Static
      Low Power Mode, or HP Static High Performance Mode.

      reset when upgrading to the 8/15/2012 system ROM.

      occurs, the server may stop responding during system boot with DIMM LEDs
      illuminated or boot with less than the expected amount of memory available to
      the operating system. If this issue occurs with previous revisions of the
      System ROM, the System ROM should be updated to this revision or later before
      replacing DIMMs.

  -     Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option "Memory Proximity Reporting
      for I/O" that, when enabled, reports the proximity relationship between I/O
      devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can
      use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices such
      as network controllers and storage devices for improved performance. Certain
      I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if
      their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. Please
      consult operating system and I/O device documentation for additional details.
      This option is disabled by default. This option is found in "Advanced
      Performance Tuning Options" under "Advanced Options".

      with the "Minimum Processor Idle Power State" ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU)
      option set to "C1E State (AMD C1 Clock Ramping)". This error may not be an
      indication of a failed DIMM or other system component, but rather an issue
      with memory initialization which is addressed by this revision of the System
      ROM. When running with the 12/28/2011 system ROM, this error will be reported
      in the Integrated Management Log (IML) as an Uncorrectable Machine Check
      Exception with Bank 0x00000004, Status 0xXXXXXXXX'XXXDXXXX (where X indicates

  -     Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to allow the system to run
      memory at the highest or lowest supported voltage.  In some cases, operating
      at the highest voltage may result in higher memory frequency settings and
      improved performance.  The option "DIMM Voltage Preference" can be used to
      select between "Optimized for Performance" and "Optimized for Power".  The
      "Optimized for Power" selection will run memory at the lowest possible voltage
      and may provide power savings.
      
      Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the Stack Engine
      Prediction logic in the AMD Opteron Series 6200 processor.  The option "Stack
      Engine Prediction" is enabled by default and HP does not recommend changing
      this setting.

changelog:
  -     Added support for AMD Opteron Series 6300 processors.
      
      Added support for Input/Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU).  When used with
      an operating system/hypervisor that support this functionality, IOMMU provides
      performance and security benefits.    This functionality is disabled by
      default and is controlled via a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option.
      
      Added support for Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory modules.  This revision of
      the System ROM must be installed on the server prior to installing LRDIMMs as
      the server will not boot with previous revisions of the System ROM with these
      DIMMs installed.
      
      Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu
      that allows the user to enable the ACPI System Locality Distance Information
      Table (SLIT). This industry standard ACPI mechanism provides operating systems
      with the ability to read processor and I/O affinity to allow the operating
      system to intelligently distribute workloads to improve performance.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu
      that allows the user to utilize 1 Terabyte or more memory.  The option
      defaults to limiting memory addressing to just below 1TB because some
      Operating Systems will not operate correctly with 1 Terabyte or more available
      memory. If more than 1 Terabyte of memory is installed in the system and an
      Operating System that supports more than 1 Terabyte of memory is being used,
      configure the "One Terabyte Memory Limit" option to "Enable all memory" to
      allow use of all installed memory.
      
      Enhanced logging of system errors to the Integrated Management Log (IML).
      Certain errors that may have resulted in a non-maskable interrupt (NMI)
      (Windows Blue Screen, Linux kernel panic, or VMware Purple Screen of Death) or
      system reset without an IML entry will now have an IML entry indicating the
      error type.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated language
      translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

      some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors will result in a fatal error
      (Purple Screen of Death - PsoD) under Vmware ESX, but there will not be any
      indication of the error type (including no indication of an uncorrectable
      memory error or what DIMM has failed). The VMware ESX Server issue which
      causes this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1 and VMware ESX 4.0 U3.
      
      Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in uncorrectable
      memory errors being reported. This will result in a system reset and an error
      logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML). If using certain revisions of
      VMware ESX Server, this issue will result in a fatal error (Purple Screen of
      Death - PsoD). This is a result of a processor issue and is NOT an issue with
      the DIMM or the system board hardware. The processor issue is completely
      resolved by the work-around included in this revision of the System ROM. The
      issue does not occur if the Minimum Processor Idle State option in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU) is configured for No C-states.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may experience a hang during POST after

      based Operating Systems. Under VMware Operating Systems, this would be seen as
      a Failed to ACK TLB invalidate PSoD.
      
      Resolved an issue that could result in industry standard tools not reporting
      the correct chassis serial number and asset tag information when the server
      node is installed in a DL2000 chassis.  The industry standard SMBIOS Type 3
      Record had only space values in the Serial Number and Asset Tag Number fields.
      Note that if any scripted tools were dependent on these fields, an update to

      Added support to display an informational message during system boot if a
      PCI-e Riser Board is installed and the corresponding processor is not
      installed. For this case, any PCI-e cards installed in the PCI-e Riser would
      not function.
      
      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for HP Option ROM Prompting.
      This option is enabled by default. Disabling this option prevents HP Smart
      Array controllers and iLO from prompting to enter their setup tools during
      system boot. This allows for faster boot times. This option requires updated
      revisions of Smart Array Controller firmware and iLO Firmware to function. If
      this option is disabled, the HP Smart Array and iLO will continue to prompt to
      enter their setup tools if an updated revision of these firmware deliverables
      are not installed.
      
      Added a ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option for Reset on Boot Device Not
      Found. Enabling this option will cause the system to reset and reboot if no
      boot device is found.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated
      language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU).

      occurs, the server may stop responding during system boot with DIMM LEDs
      illuminated or boot with less than the expected amount of memory available to
      the operating system. A "232-Memory Initialization Error - Processor X, DIMM Y
      failed" (where X denotes the processor number and Y denotes the DIMM number)
      message may be displayed to the screen. If this issue occurs with previous
      revisions of the System ROM, the System ROM should be updated to this revision
      or later before replacing DIMMs.

      Added additional options to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Power-On Delay
      Option for delay times of 15, 30, 40 and 60 seconds (in addition to the
      previous options of No Delay and Random Delay). For these new selections to
      function, the system must be using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware
      version 1.20 or later. If the system is configured to one of the new options
      without having iLO Firmware version 1.20 or later, the Power-On Delay Option
      will function as if the No Delay option were chosen.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM's detection of valid boot devices such as USB Drive
      Keys or Hard Drives. Previously, the System ROM may have attempted to boot
      certain bootable media with invalid boot records resulting in a Non-System
      Disk error. In some cases, the System ROM will now be able to detect the
      invalid boot record and skip attempting to boot the device. This allows the
      System ROM to attempt to boot the next device in the boot order.

      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 11/04/2011 System ROM revision.  The 11/04/2011 System ROM revision
      has a known issue where embedded PCI Express devices or PCI Express devices
      installed in expansion slots intermittently may not be available after a warm
      reboot.  In this case, the PCI Express device would not be bootable (for
      bootable PCI Express devices) and would not be recognized by the operating
      system.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue in the 11/04/2011 System ROM where embedded PCI Express
      devices or PCI Express devices installed in mezzanine slots may not be
      available after a server warm reset.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may intermittently report a "207-Memory
      initialization error on Processor X, DIMM Y. The operating system may not have
      access to all of the memory installed in the system" error during system boot.
      When this error is reported, the memory associated with the reported DIMM will
      not be seen by the server or available to the operating system. This error may
      NOT be an indication of a failed processor, failed DIMM, or failed system
      board, but rather an issue with memory initialization which is addressed by
      this System ROM release. HP recommends that users who are experiencing this
      error during system boot upgrade to this revision of the System ROM before
      replacing any hardware components.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may report the following error: "210 -
      Quick Path Interconnect (QPI) Link Degradation. A QPI link is operating in a
      degraded performance state". This issue can occur on systems configured with
      Intel Xeon processors that operate with QPI Links at 5.8 or 4.8 GT/s. This
      error is a firmware issue and not a result of any issues with the system
      hardware.
      
      Resolved an extremely rare issue where a platform running a VMware Operating
      System, with MCA Recovery enabled, may not properly detect a recoverable
      uncorrectable memory error condition and properly respond to this event. This
      can result in the server resetting and logging an uncorrectable memory error
      event in some instances.

changelog:
  -     Enhanced HP's Memory Pre-failure Alert support.  The system will now use an
      improved algorithm to detect when the system is at an increased probability of
      non-recoverable memory conditions that would result in unplanned downtime.
      This will increase server uptime by more accurately determining when a server
      administrator should schedule planned maintenance to replace DIMMs reducing
      unnecessary planned downtime and reducing the probability of unplanned
      downtime.

      Addressed a processor issue with Intel Xeon 7500-series Processors and Intel
      Xeon E7-series Processors that may result in unpredictable system behavior
      including application level errors, system hangs, Windows blue screens, Linux
      kernel panics, or a VMware ESX Purple Screen of Death (PSoD).  This issue is
      not unique to HP ProLiant servers and could impact any system using affected
      processors.  This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version of
      Intel's microcode for affected processors that addresses this issue.  The fix
      for this issue does not impact performance.  Due to the potential severity of
      the issue addressed in this revision of the System ROM, this System ROM
      upgrade is considered a critical fix.  HP strongly recommends an immediate
      update to firmware revisions with required critical fixes.

      **Enhancements/New Features:**  
        
      Added support for a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called SMI Link
      Power Management that allows the user to disable power management on the Intel
      Scalable Memory Interconnect (SMI) link. This option is Enabled by Default.
      Disabling this functionality will increase the server's idle power usage.
      While corrected events are considered normal and are expected on the SMI Link
      and do not affect operation of the platform, the occurrence of these corrected
      events can be reduced significantly by disabling SMI Link Power Management.
      These events are logged as correctable Machine Check Bank 8 and 9 errors in
      the operating system logs for certain operating systems.  While these events
      can be ignored, SMI Link Power Management can be disabled to reduce or prevent
      their occurrence if desired.

      Addressed a processor issue under which a rare and complex sequence of
      internal processor microarchitecture events that occur in specific operating
      environments could cause a server system to experience unexpected page faults,
      general protection faults, or machine check exceptions or other unpredictable
      system behavior. While all processors supported by this server have this
      issue, to be affected by this issue the server must be operating in a
      virtualized environment, have Intel Hyperthreading enabled, have a hypervisor
      that enables Intel VT FlexPriority and Extended Page Tables, and have a guest
      OS utilizing 32-bit PAE Paging Mode. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant
      servers and could impact any system utilizing affected processors operating

changelog:
  -     Enhanced the correctable memory error threshold error event handling to
      isolate degraded DIMM issues to a single DIMM when the Advanced Memory
      Protection Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode when the system is utilizing
      Intel Xeon 5600-series processors. With Intel Xeon 5500-series processors,
      correctable memory error threshold events can only be isolated to a pair of
      DIMMs when the system is configured to Lockstep Mode.
      
      Added support to allow industry standard utilities to display the actual
      operating frequency of the installed memory. This is supporting a newly
      defined industry standard field. Utilities to display this information may not
      yet be available.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Tuning option
      known as QPI Bandwidth Optimization(RTID) to optimize link bandwidth settings
      for 2-Socket Intel Xeon 5600 series processors. These settings (also known as
      RTIDs) allow the user to balance bandwidth allocated between processors,
      memory, and I/O. While the balanced option (default) is recommended for the
      majority of customers, some benchmarks and workloads may show improved
      performance using different settings that allow optimization for memory
      streaming or I/O streaming. Customers that deploy I/O intensive applications
      such as seen with multiple GPUs, might see an improvement in GPU processing
      throughput when using the Optimized for I/O setting. This option is not
      available for systems utilizing Intel Xeon 5500-series processors.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Added the Power-On Logo option to the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) to allow
      the system to always display option ROM messages during system boot.

      Recommended to upgrade to firmware version 2010.12.01 if Lockstep Mode is
      enabled.
      
      Users should update to this latest firmware revision for any systems running
      with the 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions. The 10/19/2010 System ROM revisions
      have a known issue which can result in uncorrectable memory errors and
      correctable memory threshold errors and should not be utilized. These errors
      are due to a firmware issue and not a result of a problem with the system
      hardware or installed DIMMs.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Uncorrectable Memory Errors will be logged incorrectly
      to the Integrated Management Log (IML) when the Advanced Memory Protection
      Mode is configured for Lockstep Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      The Uncorrectable Memory Errors will indicate the incorrect DIMM as failed. If
      a system is configured for Lockstep Mode and an Uncorrectable Memory Error
      occurs, the DIMM indicated in the IML should not be replaced if the system is
      using a revision of the System ROM older than this revision. The correct DIMM
      will be indicated on the DIMM LEDs if the server includes DIMM LEDs. Note that
      Lockstep Mode is NOT the default Advanced Memory Protection Mode. If the
      Advanced Memory Protection Mode was never modified from its default setting,
      the system will not be affected by this issue.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where Online Spare (OLS) Advanced Memory Protection Mode
      does not function properly when a system contains six 32 GB DIMMs on any
      processor (two 32 GB DIMMs per channel for all 3 channels on the processor).
      When Online Spare Mode is enabled for a system with six 32 GB DIMMs on a
      processor, the system will NOT be protected by the spare memory and one
      channel of memory per processor in this configuration will not be available to
      the operating system. The system will indicate it is in Advanced ECC mode
      during system boot, but not all installed memory will be available to the
      operating system as would normally occur in Advanced ECC Mode. Customers
      configuring their system for Online Spare Mode with six 32 GB DIMMs per
      installed processor should update their System ROM. Note: Because 32 GB DIMMs
      are quad-rank, six 32 GB DIMMs per processor is the maximum supported.
      
      Resolved a very rare issue where the system may either hang during system boot
      or boot with configuration options set incorrectly when non-volatile storage
      becomes corrupt. This is normally seen as the system hanging during system
      boot without anything displayed to video. Once the system gets into this
      state, the maintenance jumper can be utilized to recover operation of the
      system and restore configuration defaults. This revision of the System ROM
      will restore configuration defaults when non-volatile storage becomes corrupt.
      
      Resolved an issue where the iLO TEXTCONs feature would not function properly
      with the latest Linux kernels, including RHEL 6 and SLES 11 SP1. The issue is
      usually seen as TEXTCONs data no longer being received once the operating
      system has loaded.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may not be able to install an operating
      system to an iSCSI-based storage solution when using the local optical drive.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system would not boot from iLO Virtual USB devices
      when configured with multiple local USB devices. This issue is usually seen as
      a failure to boot an iLO Virtual Medial USB key when 2 or more USB keys are
      installed locally in the server. iLO Virtual Devices will now always have
      priority over local USB devices.
      
      Resolved an issue where the industry standard SMBIOS tables incorrectly
      identified the server as a rack server instead of a blade server. This issue
      could have caused software to incorrectly report the server as a rack server.

  -     Enhanced HP's Memory Pre-failure Alert support with HP Advanced Memory Error
      Detection Technology. This innovation analyzes multiple parameters of
      correctable memory error events and intelligently detects when the system is
      at an increased probability of non-recoverable memory conditions that would
      result in unplanned downtime or when correctable memory errors may degrade
      system performance. HP Advanced Memory Error Detection Technology will
      increase server uptime by accurately determining when a server administrator
      should schedule planned maintenance to replace DIMMs preventing unnecessary
      planned downtime and reducing the probability of unplanned downtime.
      
      Enhanced DIMM initialization such that the system will continue to boot with
      failed DIMM(s) installed (with those DIMM(s) not available to the operating
      system) in some instances that would have previously resulted in a hang early
      in the system boot process without any information displayed on the screen.
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue that may result in any of the following conditions:
      operating system stops responding, unexpected system reset, Blue Screen when
      using a Microsoft Windows operating system, kernel panic when using a Linux
      operating system, or Purple Screen when using VMware ESX. A message may be
      displayed by the operating system or logged in the HP Integrated Management
      Log (IML) when this issue occurs indicating an "Uncorrectable Machine Check
      Exception." However, there are instances where the system resets before the
      operating system displays an error message and instances where the IML
      contains no log entry when this issue occurs. This issue does not occur if the
      Minimum Processor Idle State is configured for No C-states or C1E-state. The
      system is susceptible to this issue in the default Minimum Processor Idle
      State configuration.
      
      Resolved an issue where PCI-Express Gen 3 option cards would run at PCI-
      Express Gen 1 speeds rather than the appropriate behavior of running at PCI-
      Express Gen 2 speeds. This server supports a maximum PCI-Express speed of Gen
      2.
      
      Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system
      errors) will not be logged to the HP Integrated Management Log (IML) when
      using some revisions of VMware ESX Server. These errors will result in a fatal
      error (Purple Screen of Death - PSoD) under VMware ESX, but there will not be
      any indication of the error type (including no indication of an uncorrectable
      memory error or what DIMM has failed). A VMware ESX Server issue which can
      result in uncorrectable memory errors this is addressed in VMware ESX 4.1 U1
      and VMware ESX 4.0 U3. This System ROM revision addresses the logging of
      errors to the IML.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system did not properly modify the processor's
      power state (P-state) based on workload when the system is configured with
      Intel Xeon 5687 processors and the HP Power Regulator Mode is configured to OS
      Control Mode in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU). The processor would always
      run in its maximum power/performance state rather than modifying the power
      state based on the workload.

      Addressed an issue where the system experienced unexpected system behavior or
      report ACPI issues through the OS boot logs (such as Linux DMESG) when IOMMU
      was enabled in a virtualized operating system environment.
      
      Addressed an issue where Online Spare memory Mode would not function properly
      when 32GB LR-DIMMs were installed in the server platform. This issue was
      typically exhibited as the system becoming unresponsive during system boot
      when Online Spare was enabled with these DIMMs installed.
      
      Addressed an issue where Linux Operating Systems reported the following
      message: ERST: Failed to get Error Log Address Range, in the Linux DMESG log.
      
      Removed support for configuring the platform with the Memory Channel Mode
      configured for Combined Channel Memory Mode (Lockstep) and the Advanced Memory
      Protection mode configured for Online Spare with Advanced ECC. This
      combination is currently not supported by this server generation of platform.
      Platforms Servers that were previously configured with this option combination
      will have Online Spare Mode enabled but the Memory Channel Mode will be
      configured for Independent Channel Mode after updating to this revision of the
      System ROM.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue where a system may become unresponsive or
      experience a system reset when booting a Microsoft Windows Operating System.
      When this event happens, a Bank 5 Machine Check Exception was logged in the

      Added additional options to the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Power-On Delay
      Option for delay times of 15, 30, 40 and 60 seconds (in addition to the
      previous options of No Delay and Random Delay). For these new selections to
      function, the system must be using Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) Firmware
      version 1.20 or later. If the system is configured to one of the new options
      without having iLO Firmware version 1.20 or later, the Power-On Delay Option
      will function as if the No Delay option were chosen.
      
      Enhanced the System ROM's detection of valid boot devices such as USB Drive
      Keys or Hard Drives. Previously, the System ROM may have attempted to boot
      certain bootable media with invalid boot records resulting in a Non-System
      Disk error. In some cases, the System ROM will now be able to detect the
      invalid boot record and skip attempting to boot the device. This allows the

      revisions other than the 11/12/2013 and 12/22/2013 revisions.
      
      Addressed an extremely rare issue that can result in a system configured with
      Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series processors becoming unresponsive early in the
      POST boot process after an uncorrectable memory error occurs. When this issue
      occurs, the server will indicate an early boot progress of 20% and a "Memory
      and QPI Link Initialization Start" message will be displayed on the screen
      output. This issue does not impact servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where the System ROM does not properly retry booting
      certain Network Adapters under some conditions including when the user presses
      F12 to attempt a PXE boot. Instead, the System ROM will only attempt to boot
      the Network Adapter one time and then will continue trying to boot devices in
      the order specified by the Standard Boot Order (IPL).
      
      Addressed an issue where systems configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 series
      processors and an HP 331FLR FlexLOM or HP NC332T Network Controller might see
      intermittent issues with the NIC not being detected by the platform. When the
