changelog:
  -     \- The iLO SNMP interface will react to excessive activity to SNMP Network
      port 161 to prevent "Denial of Service" type attacks  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host
      operating system, the iLO "Server Name" will be updated. This overwrites the
      information entered in the iLO GUI (same behavior in iLO 3 under Windows)  
      \- The HP SmartMemory Technology is better displayed on the System Information
      Memory page  
      \- There is support for iLO 4 monitoring larger, internally attached storage
      enclosures  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host
      operating system, the host Network Link status will be displayed, even if
      "SNMP Pass-thru" is enabled  
      \- NIC Link Status:  The host OS "network LINK" status will be better
      reflected in the iLO GUI. If no cable is connected to the port AND the NIC is
      disabled by the HOST, the GUI will show "Informational" rather than "Link
      Down"  
      \- When the Agentless Management Service (AMS) is installed on the host Linux
      operating system, events logged to the Integrated Management Log (IML) are
      also logged to the Linux "messages" file

      \- Could not import SSH key via RIBCL if the key is for the Administrator
      account  
      \- Unable to restore the captured file from HPONCFG on Blade Servers  
      \- Incorrect error message when SSH Port was left blank in HPONCFG or XML
      scripts  
      \- IRC session gets disconnected after a minute after booting into the server
      OS  
      \- Possible mismatch representation between ILO CLI and GUI network gateway
      setting  
      \- Physical DVD on HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure might fail to mount
      correctly via Scriptable VM  
      \- No event was logged when SSH Key was deleted

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 1.20
changelog:
  -     \- The HTTP TRACE method in the iLO 4 webserver is now disabled. Having  
        this feature enabled caused some security scanners to report it as a  
        vulnerability.
      
      \- iLO 4 no longer fails to synchronize the date and time with the Onboard
      Administrator.
      
      \- The iLO 4 Certificate Signing Request countryName object was changed from a
      UTF8 object to  
        a printable string. This will prevent some Certificate Authorities from
      rejecting the iLO 4 CSR.
      
      \- The Integrated Remote Console will now disconnect Virtual Media when the
      USB flash drive is  
        physically removed.
      
      \- The Integrated Remote Console no longer fails to open and displays "HTTP
      error: The operation  
        has timed out".
      
      \- iLO 4 will no longer become inaccessible for 40 minutes after an
      unreachable SNMP alert destination  
        is entered.
      
      \- iLO 4 on BL460c Gen8 servers will no longer log the random event "System
      Overheating (Temperature  
        Sensor 3, Location CPU, Temperature 0C)" in the IML if the second processor
      isn't populated.
      
      \- The SNMP tags have been removed from the MOD_GLOBAL_SETTINGS command. TO
      modify the SNMP  
        parameters, you must now use the MOD_SNMP_IM_SETTINGS command.
      
      \- The pre-failure video playback will no longer end without showing video.
      
      \- A user with insufficient privileges can no longer modify the network
      settings by using the  
        iLO command line interface.  
        
      \- Increased buffer size to allow the importing of a X.509 certificate file up

changelog:
  -      Improved Active Health System logging for newly added log entries.
        * The persistent mouse and keyboard setting can now be configured by using the set_persmouse_status.xml script.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 1.22
changelog:
  -      Corrected an issue where a spurious power supply event could cause a system to shutdown and record an IML entry due to noise in the power supply presence and status signals.
        * iLO 4 will no longer incorrectly report a failed power supply in the IML  when some power supply insertions are conducted with mismatched power supplies.
        * Corrected a General Power Supply failure message in the IML when there is a power loss or the power cord was not attached to one of the power supplies.
        * Fixed an issue in which iLO Virtual Serial Port Log playback ends too early or too late, preventing logged data from  being displayed, or displaying old data in the wrong location.  The iLO Virtual Serial Port Log playback now stops at the end of the stored data.
        * Corrected a Self-Signed certificate expiration date issue that occurred when iLO is set to the factory default settings after the year 2012.  This may occur if iLO generates a new SSL self-signed certificate after January 18th, 2013.
        * Resolved an issue in which SSH sessions could be abruptly closed, leaving the server side socket in an undetected error condition.  This could lead to no more available SSH sockets until the next iLO reset.

  -     *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

      **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.

      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.hp.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 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.

  -     *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." 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 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.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 3.11
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.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      > **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.

      the full-height blade, resulting in an "Not configured for Virtual Connect"
      error message on the OA.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue that caused a slow memory leak when the Network Time
      Protocol (NTP) was enabled and the poll frequency was set to less than 6
      minutes in the OA.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where under rare occasions, VC can write a server blade
      profile before the OA is ready to receive it, which would result in the VC
      profile being ignored.
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where the OA would not properly display a blade's FlexNIC
      MAC addresses after removing a VC profile.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 3.20-1
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.

      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.

      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

      >>
      
      >> 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:

            * 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

      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:

      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.

changelog:
  -     *Important Notes:**
      
        * **HP Gen8 Blade Support**
          * HP ProLiant Gen8 server blades require 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.
        * **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 upgrading to OA 3.30.
        * **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." 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:
          * Servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power"  
      or
      
          *  A 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 from a server blade
      - then that server blade 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 determines 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 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 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the Onboard Administrator modules in that enclosure.
      
      **Firmware Dependency:**
      
        * For firmware compatibility information please see HP BladeSystem Firmware Maintenance, <http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystemupdates>.
      
      **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.

  -     *Important Notes**
      
        * **HP Gen8 Blade Support**
          * OA 3.30, OA 3.31 and OA 3.32 will correctly power up and perform the initial configuration of Gen8 Server Blades.  However, when used with Virtual Connect, subsequent configuration changes to the network and storage profiles may not be handled properly resulting in incorrect port configurations.  OA 3.50 is required for use with Virtual Connect and Gen8 blades.  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.

      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * OA 3.50 does not support SSO (single sign on) to iLO 2 (ProLiant G6, G5 or G1 server blades) when LDAP authentication is used with the syntax of <domain>\<user>. The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.  See Customer Advisory c03234658for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03234658>.
          * When LDAP-based authentication is used to access the OA, if the user name syntax contains a "," (comma), Single Sign-On (SSO) to any iLOs will fail after several attempts. An example of such syntax is:  CN=smith,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com  Once this issue is encountered, all other users (local users, LDAP users with syntaxes without a comma, or users accessing the OA via HP-SIM) are also impacted (those users will not be able to SSO to any iLO's). The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.
          * OA 3.50 (or prior) EBIPA page does not refresh the Management IP address for CBS 3020 Interconnect Modules (Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch) if the Switch firmware is upgraded from version 12.2(55)SE4 (or earlier) to version 12.2(58)SE1 (or later) without resetting the OA or the switch. OA 3.55 refreshes the correct IP address automatically.

          * 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.

      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General **
          * Previous versions logged transient network link status changes for the OA, servers and interconnects.  For example:  
      Apr 30 06:48:17 OA: Network link to server 6 is down  
      Apr 30 06:49:02 OA: Network link to server 6 is up
      
        * **Thermals**
          * OA 3.5x firmware versions track cumulative fan communication errors during continuous OA uptime.  Once a default threshold of cumulative errors is exceeded, the fan is marked as failed.  Some Active Cool 200 fans experience intermittent fan communication failures that will trigger this failure typically within 3 months of continuous operation, although the fans are otherwise operating normally.  Version 3.60 implements a different algorithm that avoids marking false failures with this generation of fans.  See Customer Advisory c03395857 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03395857>.
        * **IPv6**
          * Alertmail now works with IPv6.
          * The DHCPv6 lease was reset each time the OA network was restarted by an OA reboot or other network configuration changes. This resulted in the OA inadvertently failing to request its existing IPv6 address when attempting to renew its IPv6 address via DHCP and typically receiving a different IPv6 address each renewal.
          * Under some conditions, users were unable to add a second IPv6 static address or to remove static IPv6 addresses thru the WEB GUI.
          * When the user specified both the Standby IPv6 DNS Server 1 and IPv6 DNS Server 2 thru the OA WEB GUI, the information for IPv6 DNS Server 1 was inadvertently discarded.

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

      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.

            * 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.

            * 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.

          * **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.

      Resolved an issue in which uncorrectable memory errors (or other fatal system
      errors) will not be logged to the 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). 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 NOT an issue with the DIMM(s) and 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 will not properly handle an Online Spare
      memory failover event. HP recommends that customers who configure the Advanced
      Memory Protection option for Online Spare Mode upgrade to this system ROM
      version to ensure proper operation.
      
      Updated embedded PXE firmware to gPXE version 1.01 to address issues with PXE
      getting a valid DHCP address as well as performance issues with TFTP transfers
      following a PXE boot.

      Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or
      operating system crash (such as a Windows Blue Screen, Linux Kernel Panic, or
      VMware ESX PSoD) when the system is under heavy I/O load. This issue is
      typically seen with systems configured with a large amount of optional PCI-
      express expansion cards.
      
      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 DVD drive.
      
      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 system may incorrectly report a "1615-Power Supply
      Configuration Not Sufficient" message and halt during system boot when an
      optional PCI-express graphics card is installed in the system. If this issue
      is observed, please remove the optional graphics card, plug the monitor into
      the embedded video, update the System ROM revision, and then re-install the
      optional graphics card.

changelog:
  -     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.
      
      Added several performance tuning options into the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU). The following options were added to RBSU: "Hardware Prefetch Training
      on Software Prefetch", "DRAM Prefetch on CPU Request", "DRAM Prefetch on I/O
      Request", and "CPU Core Hardware Prefetcher". All of these options are enabled
      by default. While in most cases leaving these options enabled will provide
      optimum performance, there are workloads where disabling one or more of these
      options will improve performance.

      Resolved an issue that affects systems with specific DIMM configurations when
      the Advanced Memory Protection Mode is configured for Online Spare which can
      result in uncorrectable memory errors, correctable memory threshold errors, or
      system crashes after the system fails over to the spare memory. This affects
      systems with the following DIMM configurations: Memory channel configured with
      3 or 5 ranks of memory (example is 1 Single Rank DIMM and one Dual Rank DIMM
      on a channel) and one rank on the memory channel is larger than all others and

      MHz.  With this revision of the System ROM, DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs will operate
      at 1600 MHz when using AMD Opteron 6200-series processors with all populated
      memory channels containing one Single or Dual-Rank DIMM.
      
      Added an Advanced Performance Tuning ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to
      disable the CPU Cache Stride Prefetcher.  The option can be found under the
      Advanced Options menu in RBSU.  In very limited environments, disabling the
      stride prefetcher can give performance improvements.  HP recommends leaving
      the stride prefetcher enabled in most environments.

  -     *Important Notes:**  
        
      Users should update to this version of the System ROM for any systems
      configured with AMD Opteron 6100 Series processors and the 10/02/2011 System
      ROM version.  The 10/02/2011 System ROM version has a known issue that can
      result in a no boot condition with no video display, the system locking up or
      rebooting due to an uncorrectable memory error, or correctable memory
      threshold error events being reported when using AMD Opteron 6100 Series
      processors.  These errors are due to a firmware issue and are not a result of
      a problem with the system hardware or installed DIMMs.  Due to this issue, the
      10/02/2011 System ROM has been removed from the HP Support Site.

      Resolved an issue in the 10/02/2011 System ROM where the system may not boot
      with AMD Opteron-series 6100 processors and Low Voltage DDR3 DIMMs.  In rare
      cases the system would boot and have an increased risk of memory ECC errors.
      The system would still correctly detect and log the memory errors.

      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 12/29/2011 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
      the value does not matter). HP recommends that users who are experiencing
      unexpected reboots with System ROMs earlier than the 12/29/2011 System ROM or
      Integrated Management Log entries as indicated when using the 12/29/2011

  -     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

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 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

      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

      Death - PSoD). This is NOT an issue with the DIMM(s) and 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 will not properly handle an Online Spare
      memory failover event. HP recommends that customers who configure the Advanced
      Memory Protection option for Online Spare Mode upgrade to this system ROM
      version to ensure proper operation.

      Resolved an extremely intermittent issue that can result in a system reset or
      operating system crash (such as a Windows Blue Screen, Linux Kernel Panic, or
      VMware ESX PSoD) when the system is under heavy I/O load. This issue is
      typically seen with systems configured with a large amount of optional PCI-
      express expansion cards.
      
      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 DVD drive.
      
      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.

  -     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.
      
      Added several performance tuning options into the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU). The following options were added to RBSU: "Hardware Prefetch Training
      on Software Prefetch", "DRAM Prefetch on CPU Request", "DRAM Prefetch on I/O
      Request", and "CPU Core Hardware Prefetcher". All of these options are enabled
      by default. While in most cases leaving these options enabled will provide
      optimum performance, there are workloads where disabling one or more of these
      options will improve performance.
      
      Added the ability to configure the "NIC Personality Options" to iSCSI or FCoE
      for the HP NC553m 10Gb 2-Port FlexFabric Adapter in the ROM-Based Setup
      Utility (RBSU).
      
      Added latest product names of optional expansion cards for display in the ROM-
      Based Setup Utility (RBSU).

  -     Added support for DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs.  With previous revisions of the System
      ROM, these DIMMs would function but would be limited to frequencies below 1600
      MHz.  With this revision of the System ROM, DDR3 1600 MHz DIMMs will operate
      at 1600 MHz when using AMD Opteron 6200-series processors with all populated
      memory channels containing Single or Dual-Rank DIMMs.
      
      Added an Advanced Performance Tuning ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to
      disable the CPU Cache Stride Prefetcher.  The option can be found under the
      Advanced Options menu in RBSU.  In very limited environments, disabling the
      stride prefetcher can give performance improvements.  HP recommends leaving
      the stride prefetcher enabled in most environments.

  -     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

      Resolved an issue where systems could experience uncorrectable memory address
      errors when running 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 11/09/2011 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 the value does not matter).  HP recommends that users who
      are experiencing unexpected reboots with System ROMs earlier than the
      11/09/2011 System ROM or Integrated Management Log entries as indicated when
      using the 11/09/2011 System ROM upgrade to this revision of the System ROM
      before replacing any hardware components.
      
      Resolved an intermittent issue where performance of a SmartArray controller
      cabled to the hard drive backplane of the DL2000 chassis may be degraded. To
      completely address this issue, customers will also need iLO Firmware version
      1.28 or later. This issue only affects nodes operating in the DL2000 chassis.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Resolved an issue where the system would indicate an incorrect DIMM in the
      Integrated Management Log (IML) when a Correctable Memory Threshold Event is
      encountered. When this issue occurs, the system will indicate the incorrect
      DIMM in the DIMM pair as being degraded. For example, Memory Board 1, DIMM 1
      will be indicated as failed (via the IML and DIMM LEDs) if a Correctable
      Memory Threshold Event actually occurs on Memory Board 1, DIMM 8. Customers
      who experience a Correctable Memory Threshold Event should update to this
      System ROM revision to ensure the correct DIMM is identified before replacing
      the DIMM.
      
      Resolved an issue where the system may hang during POST after video is
      displayed when switch 6 of the Server Maintenance Switch is set to the On
      position.
      
      Modified the system manufacturer name, as stored in the industry standard
      SMBIOS tables, from "Hewlett-Packard" to "HP". This will result in industry
      standard software identifying the platform as "HP ProLiant" instead of
      "Hewlett-Packard ProLiant". The most important aspect of this change is that
      it will affect customer scripts which look for a manufacturer name of
      "Hewlett-Packard". In such cases, the customer's script will need to be
      updated. This change will result in the manufacturer name being consistent
      with previous generations of HP ProLiant servers which have always used "HP".
      Some customers have been adversely affected when transitioning to the G6
      ProLiant servers because their scripts will not work with the manufacturer
      name changed to "Hewlett-Packard".
      
      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 HP System Management Homepage (SMH) or other
      software may incorrectly report the processor as "Quad Core Intel Xeon
      Processor.." for systems using Intel Xeon 7500-series processors with six
      cores. The processor will now be reported as "Intel Xeon Processor" by HP SMH
      and other software. This was a cosmetic issue only and did not affect
      operation of the system.
      
      Resolved an issue where the System ROM could incorrectly report and log a
      correctable memory error threshold event. This could result in the system
      reporting that a DIMM is degraded when a problem does not exist. Users should
      update to this System ROM before replacing DIMMs that are reported in such
      events.

changelog:
  -     Added support for the latest Intel E7 Series Xeon processors.
      
      Added an option to enable or disable the SLIT in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU) Advanced Options\Advanced Performance Tuning Options menus. The System
      Locality Information Table (SLIT) describes the relative access times between
      processors, memory subsystems, and I/O subsystems. Operating Systems that
      support the SLIT can use this information to improve performance by allocating
      resources and workloads more efficiently.
      
      Added support for a new ROM-Based Setup (RBSU) Option called Enhanced
      Processor Core Disable (Intel Core Select) that allows the user to disable
      processor cores in pairs. This new option provides additional granularity over
      the Core disable option that is supported in previous revisions of the system
      rom.
      
      Added an Advanced ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option called ACPI Device
      Enumeration that allows modifying the NIC device enumeration to match that of
      System ROMs revisions prior to 02/19/2011. The 02/19/2011 System ROM caused
      operating systems to modify how they enumerated NIC devices. This could result
      in Microsoft Windows operating systems displaying a "pop-up" indicating that
      the enumeration has changed. This could also cause issues with scripts no
      longer working as intended because the operating system NIC enumeration is no
      longer as expected. For systems whose operating system was deployed on a
      System ROM revision prior to 02/19/2011, this option allows the system to be
      configured such that the NIC device enumeration matches what was used when the
      operating system was installed.
      
      Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server
      through the support of Double Device Data Correction (DDDC) for servers
      shipping with Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family of processors. DDDC is a
      significant improvement over Single Device Data Correction (SDDC) allowing
      continued operation when up to two x4 DRAM devices fail within a DIMM pair
      allowing for substantially increased system up-time. For systems supporting
      only SDDC, the system cannot handle two DRAM device failures within a DIMM
      pair. There are no memory capacity or performance reductions associated with
      DDDC. Note that DDDC is not supported with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series
      processors or with systems that shipped with Intel Xeon Processor 7500 Series
      processors and were later updated to Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors
      as DDDC requires the Memory Cartridges included with servers that ship with
      Intel Xeon Processor E7 Family processors. DDDC is not supported when x8 DIMMs
      are installed in the server.
      
      Enhanced the reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) of the server
      by adding support for HP Memory Quarantine based on Intel's Machine Check
      Recovery (MCA Recovery) architecture. HP Memory Quarantine is a mechanism
      where the memory controller, operating system, and System ROM work together to
      allow a server to recover from uncorrectable memory errors which would have
      otherwise resulted in system downtime. If memory affected by an uncorrectable
      memory error is currently not in use, the operating system can mark that
      region as unusable and not access it. If memory affected by an uncorrectable
      memory error has been allocated to an application or virtual machine, the
      operating system can close only that application or virtual machine rather
      than halt the entire system. HP Memory Quarantine will not protect against all
      uncorrectable memory errors, but can improve system uptime when using an
      operating system that provides the necessary support. If the installed
      operating system supports this feature, consult operating system documentation
      for additional information.

      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

      **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.

  -     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.

      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.

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).

  -     *Important Notes:**
      
      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.
      
      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **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.

changelog:
  -     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-

      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.

  -     Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Options menu
      that allows the user to enable or disable Dynamic Power Capping Functionality.
      This option is enabled by default.  When disabled, a Power Calibration is not
      performed during system boot resulting in a boot time reduction of 15 seconds
      or more.  When disabled, it will not be possible to configure a Dynamic Power
      Cap.  Dynamic Power Capping Functionality must be enabled prior to configuring
      the cap.
      
      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 Option that allows the
      user to enable Consistent Device Naming support. When enabled, this option
      allows the BIOS to communicate Embedded Network Controller device naming to
      the Operating System so that the Operating System can present consistent
      naming for network devices.  This option needs to be enabled prior to an
      Operating System installation in order to take effect. This option is not
      supported by all Operating Systems.  Please consult Operating System
      documentation for additional details.
      
      Added a new ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable the processor DCU
      IP Prefetcher in the Advanced Performance Options menu.  With certain
      configurations, workloads, and benchmarks, disabling the DCU IP Prefetcher may
      provide improved performance.  HP recommends leaving this option Enabled for
      most operating environments.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where uncorrectable memory errors were not handled properly
      when the Memory Channel Mode was configured for Combined Channel Mode in the
      ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).  Whenever an uncorrectable memory error occurs
      on memory attached to Processor 1, the following message could incorrectly be
      displayed during system boot:  "Uncorrectable memory error detected on DIMM 0
      or DIMM 0."  The DIMM which experienced the error will be correctly indicated
      in the Integrated Management Log (IML).  Whenever an uncorrectable memory
      error occurs on memory attached to Processor 2, a Red Screen error condition
      will be displayed during system boot and the system will be halted.  No
      additional indication of the error will exist.  By default, the Memory Channel
      Mode is configured to Independent Channel Mode (Non-Lockstep).
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may log erroneous error events to the
      Integrated Management Log (IML) when an Uncorrectable Memory Error occurs.  An
      Uncorrectable Memory event will be properly logged to the IML in addition to
      any erroneous events.
      
      Addressed an issue where certain devices were not able to be properly disabled
      from the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) PCI Enable/Disable Menu.  In some
      instances when a device was disabled via RBSU, the device would remain enabled
      but would not have resources assigned appropriately and would not operate
      correctly.
      
      Addressed an issue where the server may stop responding during Operating
      System boot if Dynamic Power Capping is enabled and the server's power usage
      is close to the configured power cap wattage or if a thermal event is
      occurring.  This issue only occurs during Operating System boot and will not
      affect a running Operating System.
      
      Addressed an issue where the ROM-Based Setup Utility option for Removable
      Flash Media Boot Sequence may not function properly when an SD Card is
      installed and iLO Virtual Media is enabled.
      
      Addressed an issue that can result in a server not responding during boot and
      a Red Screen Illegal Opcode being displayed when using PXELinux to boot to the
      local hard drive instead of the network drive.
      
      Removed the following options: Optimized for Performance, Optimized for Power
      Efficiency, and Optimized for Low Power  from the Intel Turbo Boost Technology
      menu options in the ROM-Based Setup Utility.  The Intel Turbo Boost Technology
      options are now Enabled or Disabled.  Intel Turbo Boost Technology will remain
      enabled for any server which had this option previously configured to anything
      except Disabled.  To better optimize the behavior of Intel Turbo Boost Mode,
      the Advanced Power Management Option of Energy/Performance Bias should be
      utilized.
      
      Addressed an issue where the incorrect amount of memory was being displayed as
      reserved for Online Spare for certain LRDIMM configurations.  This issue does
      not affect the operation of Online Spare mode and the only issue was the
      message being displayed during system boot.
      
      Addressed an issue where the embedded Serial Port may show up with a "Yellow
      Bang" under Microsoft Windows Device Manager if disabled in the ROM-Based
      Setup Utility (RBSU). This issue only occurs if the serial port is disabled
      prior to the Operating System installation.
      
      Addressed an issue where the Intel NIC DMA Channels feature does not function
      properly in a dual-processor configuration.  This option is disabled by
      default in the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      
      Modified the industry standard SMBIOS field for chassis height from
      unspecified to a value of 5 (indicating 5U) to allow for Location Discovery
      Services support for rack-mounted systems.  If using Location Discovery
      Services, it is recommended that this System ROM revision or later is
      utilized.

      proper Operating System and Network Adapter documentation for a list of
      supported configurations.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Performance Option menu
      that allows the user to enable Intel NIC DMA Channels (IOAT). This option is
      disabled by default. When enabled, certain networking devices may see an
      improvement in performance by utilizing Intel's DMA engine to offload network
      activity. Please consult documentation from the network adapter to determine
      if this feature is supported.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced Power Savings Option menu
      that allows the user to disable Memory Power Management functionality. This
      option is enabled by default. When disabled, certain memory power savings
      modes are disabled which can result in lower latency responses from memory
      transactions at the cost of memory power savings.
      
      Added a new ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) Advanced System ROM Option menu
      that allows the user to disable the default System ROM functionality that
      continually searches for bootable devices when a boot device cannot be found
      (non-system disk condition). By default, the System ROM will indefinitely keep
      searching for bootable devices from all available media types until a bootable

      have experienced an issue where certain commands in CLI mode would not
      function properly.
      
      Addressed a rare issue where USB Support in a pre-boot environment, such as in
      DOS or the ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU), may not function properly. This
      issue could have resulted in the system not booting properly from USB media or
      the USB Keyboard may becoming unresponsive.
      
      Addressed an issue where the platform may experience a virtualization fault
      (which may result in an NMI or Machine Check Exception) when IOMMU is enabled
      under a Hypervisor based Operating System. In some instances, Linux kernel
      messaging (DMESG) would reflect an inability to enable IOMMO on the platform.
      
      Addressed an issue where the platform may experience decreased I/O performance
      when any Minimum Processor Idle Power Core States (C-states) are enabled.
      Reduced I/O performance has been seen in dual-processor configurations where
      I/O devices that are attached to the PCI-express lanes from one processor are
      accessing resources on the other processor when the other processor is in a
      low power state.

      Resolved an issue where no message was displayed and no Integrated Management
      Log (IML) entry is logged for certain memory errors that result in DIMMs not
      being usable.  This issue would look like the operating system having access
      to less memory than is actually installed without any error indicated.
      
      Removed the Advanced ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) option to disable Data
      Direct I/O (DDIO). It is no longer recommended that users disable this option
      due to the negative impacts on system performance.  For systems that had

      video, such as a blank screen on the local monitor and iLO Remote Console, if
      a key is pressed during POST during Option ROM Execution.
      
      Resolved an issue where the order in which processors are presented to the
      Operating System may change across multiple system boots.
      
      Resolved an issue handling input from the keyboard during POST.  In previous
      releases there were rare occasions where keyboard input was lost, or the
      keyboard could become unresponsive.

      **Firmware Dependencies:**
      
      None
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      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
      with the conditions listed above. This revision of the System ROM contains an
      updated version of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. 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.
      
      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
      Integrated Management Log (IML).
      
      Addressed an issue where the server's Legacy USB support would not properly
      report the drive capacity of a USB Drive Key that was larger than 8GB
      resulting in an inability to boot USB Drive Keys larger than 8 GB.
      
      Addressed an issue where the system may not be able to properly execute the HP
      SmartStart Scripting Toolkit (SSSTK) under Linux based Operating Systems. In
      some cases, executing the HP SSSTK would result in a segfault error message
      being reported by the Linux kernel.

changelog:
  -     Added support for Intel Xeon E5-2400 v2 Series processors.
      
      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.
      
      Added the latest product names of optional expansion cards and updated
      language translations (for non-English modes) in the ROM-Based Setup Utility
      (RBSU).

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed an issue where Memory Address or Command Parity errors may occur on
      servers configured with Intel Xeon E5-2400 series v2 processors and memory
      configurations where the memory speed is running at 1600 MHz or 1866 MHz.
      These errors may have resulted in the server resetting without notification of
      the error or the system resetting and displaying a "283-Memory Address/Command
      Parity Error Detected Error" and logging the event to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML). HP strongly recommends that all servers utilizing Intel
      E5-2400 v2 processors with impacted memory speeds update to this revision of
      the System ROM or later. This issue does NOT affect servers configured with
      the Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processor.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      Addressed a processor issue which can result in a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
      in a Windows virtual machine or Linux Kernel Panic in a Linux virtual machine
      when running on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware ESX 5.x on Intel Xeon E5-2400
      series v2 processors. This issue is not unique to HP ProLiant servers and
      could impact any system using affected processors operating with the
      conditions listed. This revision of the System ROM contains an updated version
      of Intel's microcode that addresses this issue. This issue does NOT affect
      servers configured with the Intel Xeon E5-2400 series processors.
      
      Addressed an issue where servers using the 11/12/2013 or 12/22/2013 revisions
      of the System ROM might not be able to boot certain operating system
      installations that install a Master Boot Record that is not marked as Active.
      When this issue occurs, the server might experience a Non-System Disk Error or
      not boot the intended media. This issue does NOT impact any System ROM
      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
      issue occurs, the NIC will not PXE boot or be identified or used by the
      operating system.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2012.02.21
changelog:
  -     Enhanced the ability of the platform to take advantage of Intel Turbo Mode
      allowing for increased overall system performance in environments which can
      take advantage of Turbo Mode functionality.
      
      Added support for the Energy Performance Bias option in the Advanced Power
      Management Options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).  This option is
      defaulted to Balanced Performance.  This option can be modified to maximum
      Performance for operating environments where performance is more important
      than power efficiency.  This option controls how aggressively certain
      hardware-based power management options are utilized.
      
      Added support for an option to disable the Intelligent Provisioning (F10
      Prompt) functionality in the Server Security options of the ROM-Based Setup
      Utility (RBSU).
      
      Added support for an option to disable Intel Data Direct I/O Technology in the
      Advanced Performance Tuning options of the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU).
      When enabled, this option takes advantage of new functionality in the
      processor that reduces memory access from I/O devices and can result in
      accelerated performance.  HP recommends leaving this option enabled in most
      environments.  This option was always enabled with previous revisions of the
      System ROM.
      
      Enabled Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instructions.  AES was disabled
      with the 12/21/2011 System ROM revision.  Applications written to take
      advantage of AES will either run slower than if AES was enabled or such
      applications may fail to run.  Hypervisor-based workload migration tools (such
      as VMware's VMotion Live Migration) may not be able to migrate workloads from
      systems that have AES disabled (with the 12/21/2011 System ROM) to systems
      that have AES enabled (with all later revisions of the System ROM).  It is
      recommended that customers using hypervisor-based workload migration tools
      update their systems to this revision of the System ROM or later.
