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

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

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
      to 3072 bytes long (Base64 encoded).

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.

       Addressed SSRT101886  
       An iLO kernel crash after 40 or more days of uptime under certain operating
      systems can lead to an operating system crash. When this occurs, the iLO Event
      Log records a "Power restored to iLO" event at the time of the OS crash.  
       iLO might send multiple SNMP traps that show the Smart Array battery falsely
      changing status (SNMP trap ID 11020).  
       iLO firmware updates might stay at 1% and never finish.  
       ADH ciphers are accepted in iLO 4 when AES is enabled.  
       Incorrect information is displayed on the Information > System Information >
      Network page when there are similar MAC addresses.  
       SSDP advertisements have bad signatures and iLO Federation groups don't
      display all peers.  
       Power supply sensors are not illustrated in the Temperature graph.  
       The iLO Event Log reports that a firmware update failed even though the
      firmware was updated successfully with the HP SUM Scalable Update feature.  
       The .NET IRC disconnects unexpectedly when playing a captured video file.  
       The Ping Gateway on Startup network setting does not work.  
       In some cases, running the Advanced Power Capping Microcontroller Firmware
      causes future component updates to fail.  
       The UID LED might stop blinking when the Remote Console is still open after
      a system power cycle.  
       The invalid error "Duplicate record exists" occurs while adding a new
      directory group.  
       A user with the Virtual Power and Reset privilege cannot use the Swap ROM
      feature.  
       DL580 servers report an incorrect Power Redundancy state on removal of a
      power supply cable.  
       Intermittent missing OS name and version in get_server_name response.  
       iLO Dedicated Network Port options are displayed on DL60 servers, which
      support only the Shared Network Port configuration.  
       An incorrect error message is displayed when auto power-off is set via XML
      scripting during POST.  
       The Get_Embedded_Health.xml output displays incorrect iLO NIC information.  
       The user name is not displayed in the iLO Event Log when a Language Pack is
      uninstalled.  
       There is a discrepancy between the iLO web interface and XML scripting when
      an HP SSO record is added by DNS name.  
       The Serial Command Line Speed setting is not saved when the speed is changed
      in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       LDAP does not work after updating from iLO firmware version 1.40 to 1.50.  
       New iLO Federation groups default to the power capping value from a
      previously deleted group.  
       The Link State NIC setting is displayed on the Network General Settings page
      for BL460t servers when this setting is not supported on server blades.  
       SNMP and SNMP trap ports cannot be set without the SNMP_ACCESS tag.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the AlertMail settings are
      changed via RIBCL and CLP.  
       The power redundancy status is incorrect when a mismatched power supply is
      inserted without a power cord.  
       The iLO Event Log does not record an event when the Remote Syslog settings
      are changed via RIBCL.  
       An incorrect error message occurs when the server name is set via XML during
      POST.  
       The Asset Tag can be configured via XML when the server is off.  
       An invalid domain name can be configured in the iLO 4 Configuration Utility.  
       The iLO 4 Configuration Utility prompts the user to save and reset iLO when
      no change was made.  
       Cert_Request.xml does not display an error when invalid characters are used
      for the state, country and locality.  
       If the Delete SSH Key button is clicked when no SSH key is installed, the
      message "Public Key deleted" is displayed even though there was no installed
      SSH key.  
       When the RESTful Interface Tool is used to display the system ROM version,
      the output incorrectly displays the backup system ROM version.  
       The CLI does not display the oemhp_powercap information when power capping
      is disabled.  
       Multiple incorrect "faulty/unsupported power supply" messages are recorded
      in configurations that use the HP 800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module or the
      HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       Pwrstat displays incorrect power supply status information for the HP
      800W/900W Gold AC Power Input Module and the HP Server RPS Backplane Kit.  
       An intermittent virtual CD disconnection occurs during a system reboot.  
        
       Note: To address the "POODLE" security vulnerability, the iLO security policy
      has changed in version 2.03 and SSLv3 is now disabled. You might need to
      enable TLS (Transport Layer Security) in your browser in order to access the

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 2.20
changelog:
  -     The following issues are resolved in this version:
      
         Fixed detection of the Intel GPU sensor in Gen9 servers with the GPU. This
      allows  
          fans to be controlled more reasonably.  
         Staged ROM settings might be lost after CONREP is run if the server was
      reset before  
          iLO was reset.  
         The correct number of license seats is not displayed when 256 or more
      seats are  
          licensed.  
         Fixed an IPMI driver issue for Linux.  
         Fixed a Virtual Media disconnect issue.  
         Fixed a DHCP client renewal issue.  
         Alertmail webpage rejects email addresses with
      [wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz](mailto:wwww@xxxx.yyy.zz)  format  
         Fixed an IPMI boot option issue when using IPMI tool.  
         The set command in the iLO CLI does not finish on DL380 Gen9 servers.  
         The iLO IPv6 options are set to the default values when FIPS mode is
      enabled.  
         The iLO web interface hangs for a few minutes when a long string is
      entered for a  
          group firmware update.  
         Added an iLO workaround for IPMI tool boot parameter command options.  
         LDAP authentication fails when a password contains diacritic characters.  
         LDAP authentication might fail against a properly configured OpenLDAP
      server due to  
          protocol version restrictions.  
         iLO sends several multicast join/leave requests when disabling multicast.  
         iLO event logs that contain an IP address are dropped if the DNS lookup
      queue is  
          full. These events are now logged with (DNS name not found) in place of the DNS name.  
         The iLO web interface allows an iLO Federation Group Key with more than 32
      characters  
          when the character limit is 31.  
         The set_Boot_Mode.xml script fails when you use HPONCFG to set legacy mode
      for Gen8  
          servers.  
         The Firmware page incorrectly displays slot 0 for HP220i Host adapters.  
         The Asset Tag can be set via XML when the server is powered off, except
      for when  
          the server is in UEFI mode.  
         An Embedded Flash/SD-Card subsystem failure is not logged in iLO Event
      log.  
         iLO does not reset when Active Health System logging is enabled via XML.  
         An iLO event log entry is not recorded when network settings are modified  
          by using the CLI.  
         The floppy disc boot options always, never, and once are displayed in the
      Gen9 CLI,  
          but these features are not supported.  
         A TPM Caution message is not displayed when a new language pack is
      installed.  
         The tooltip on the Device Inventory page does not disappear when you click  
          outside the table.

  -     *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.

      >     * Can now be enabled in a DC-powered enclosure
      
      >   * Added a new CLI command that retrieves and displays a server blade's iLO
      2 Event Log.
      
      >   * Modified the SHOW ALL to also include the iLO 2 Event Log for all
      installed server blades.
      
      >   * Enhanced the handling of previously cached browser pages when upgrading
      the Onboard Administrator.
      
      >   * Self-signed certificates generated with Onboard Administrator v3.00 now
      use a SHA1 signature instead of the less secure MD5 signature.
      
      >   * Enhanced Enclosure Bay IP Addressing (EBIPA) to support individual
      network settings for each bay instead of global network settings which
      encompass all bays.
      
      >   * The method used to determine duplicate EBIPA IP addresses within OA 2.60
      and earlier has been found to be unreliable and at times indicates duplicate
      IP addresses that were in fact not duplicate, thus duplicate IP address
      checking has been removed from the OA 3.00.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.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."

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.

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

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.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.

      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      > **General**
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where false Link status may be indicated when the certain
      NIC adapters are mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module even when no
      cable is attached (as described in the Customer Advisory c02473928). OA 3.31
      contains the corrected 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru PIC Firmware version 3.0.3. PIC
      Firmware upgrade procedure is shown below.
      
      >
      
      >> **Detailed Description:** HP NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, or NC553i 10GbE Server
      Adapters may indicate a false link status when mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet
      Pass-thru module even if there is no cable attached from the Pass-thru module
      to the switch. Even if a cable is either not connected or becomes
      inadvertently unplugged, and therefore no network connectivity is present, the
      server blade front panel NIC LED status will be illuminated green, indicating
      link. In addition, the operating system will display a message similar to,
      "Local area connection is now connected." This can also cause Network teaming
      and configuration issues because the NIC will always report that there is
      link.
      
      >>
      
      >> In addition, the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) NIC status is
      displayed incorrectly when a NIC cable is unplugged under any Linux operating
      system.
      
      >>
      
      >> This only occurs with the 1 Gb Pass-thru module. 10 Gb Pass-thru and 1/10Gb
      switches do not exhibit this issue.
      
      >>
      
      >> **Resolution:** for the applicable configurations described above, upgrade
      the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru
      modules in the enclosure:
      
      >>
      
      >>   1. Log into the OA CLI interface as an Administrator
      
      >>   2. OA> show update  
      This will show current and available firmware versions for programmable
      devices. OA 3.31 will indicate the newly available Pass-Thru PIC Firmware
      3.0.3.
      
      >>   3. OA> update device icbay <bay number | all>  
      This will update the specified interconnect bay, note that bay1 is 1A, etc.,
      as shown in the previous command
      
      >>   4. OA> show update  
      Run this again to confirm that the versions now match
      
            * Fixed an issue where upgrading from Onboard Administrator (OA) 3.11 to OA 3.20, 3.21 or 3.30, under defined circumstances, may cause Virtual Connect (VC) to disconnect its Fibre Channel (FC) connections.  This is limited to systems using a HP ProLiant or Integrity Blade with a FlexFabric Adapter (Mezzanine or LOM) and either a
              * Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connection to a VC FlexFabric module or a
              * FC connection from a FC Mezzanine to a VC FC module
      
      > > **Detailed Description:** OA firmware revisions 3.20, 3.21, and 3.30
      identify the capabilities of the embedded G7 FlexFabric Adapter LOM or
      FlexFabric Adapter Mezzanine differently than OA firmware 3.11.  If a VC
      profile had previously been created and assigned to a blade using OA firmware
      3.11, then the newer OA firmware will detect a VC profile mismatch. This
      mismatch may cause Virtual Connect to disconnect the blade FC or FCoE SAN
      connections after a VC firmware upgrade or when a user issues a VC Manager
      (VCM) reset command.
      
      >>
      
      >> **_All_** the following must be true to be exposed to this condition on a
      VC firmware upgrade or VCM reset:
      
      >>
      
      >>   * A VC profile with a SAN fabric must have been assigned to that blade
      with OA firmware version 3.11
      
      >>   * A blade must have at least one HP FlexFabric Adapter (including LOM or
      Mezzanine)
      
      >>   * The current version of OA firmware is OA 3.20, 3.21, or 3.30
      
      >>   * The blade has not been removed/reinserted, nor the OA CLI Reset Server
      command run, nor had its profile reassigned, since the OA firmware was
      upgraded to OA 3.20 or later.
      
      >>
      
      >> Note that VC profiles assigned to a blade using OA version 3.20 or later
      are not impacted.  
      Note that OA firmware version 3.11 is the first OA version to support
      FlexFabric Adapters.

          * 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.

      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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hp.com> 3.60
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.

      **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.

          * 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.

          * Language Pack Support to allow for Japanese and Chinese GUI interfaces
          * SNMP3 support
          * Enhanced the UPDATE ILO CLI commandto to support server blades with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled
          * The sender's email address for alertmail notifications
          * Monitoring of status of battery on OA module(s) with low battery level indication reported as OA diagnostic status.  When a low battery level status indication is encountered, the spare battery kit (HP p/n 708907-001) should be used for replacement of the battery as soon as possible as enclosure configuration settings may be lost if the OA loses power.
          * Two-Factor Authentication user certificates no longer require the "sslclient" property to be set.
          * Removed support "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" as supported SSH key exchange option by default.

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

            * 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.

            * Enhanced the existing RESET ILO OA CLI command to remotely perform a hardware-based reset of iLO.  This hardware-based reset is only supported on Gen9 server blades and is equivalent to the iLO reset that can be manually performed using the UID button on a Gen9 server blade.  Note that this iLO reset can be performed without impact to the operating state of the associated server.
          * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
            * Support for clearing all existing EFM log data stored in the OA, including both the OA EFM log and the server-specific Firmware and Session logs.
          * **Security**
            * Support for customizing secure connection protocols and ciphers to be used by the OA when it is operating with FIPS Mode enabled. This configuration is only accessible and used by the OA when the OA is configured in either FIPS Mode ON or FIPS Mode DEBUG.
            * Support for configuration of the client request timeout settings on the OA web server. These settings are configurable using the new OA CLI SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command. 
          * **IPv6**
            * Support for a new **Enable Router Advertisements** enclosure-level IPv6 setting. Router Advertisements from the external management network are allowed onto the internal enclosure management network when this setting is enabled and blocked when it is disabled. 
            * Support for manual configuration of up to three static IPv6 network routes associated with the OA network interface.
            * Support on the Standby OA GUI **TCP/IP Settings>IPv6Settings** tab for configuring and reporting certain IPv6 settings.
          * **DNS **
            * Improved DNS server redundancy reporting on the Active OA and Standby OA GUI** TCP/IP Settings** screens  and via the CLI SHOW OA NETWORK and SHOW NETWORK commands.  Depending on how many DNS servers are configured, the Onboard Administrator can employ up to six DNS servers for lookups: two IPv4 DNS servers (either static or DHCP assigned, but not both) and four IPv6 DNS servers (static or DHCP assigned, or both). For more information, see the OA user guides.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
      **General**
      
        * In rare cases, the OA may fail to successfully identify server blades that have been either physically inserted into the enclosure or have been reset by executing the OA CLI RESET SERVER command.  When this issue occurs, the affected server blades are misidentified as an unsupported blade type.
        * Restoring or configuring OA settings from a saved configuration script may fail to apply all network settings on the Standby OA module. The failing configuration script commands return the following error: "An error occurred while communicating with the other Onboard Administrator." 
        * The RSA key for SSH is not properly exchanged with the Standby OA during an OA failover event when Enclosure IP Mode is enabled. After an OA failover event, when logging into the OA, SSH clients using the Enclosure IP address to access the Active OA may display an RSA key fingerprint warning message or "man-in-the-middle" security breach warning message.  This issue only occurs on OA 4.1x or OA 4.2x versions of OA firmware when the OA has been factory reset or new SSH keys were manually generated.  
        * The OA periodically reboots with the following entry logged in the OA system log:"OA: DHCP Monitor: DHCPD or RADVD is not running. Restarting OA." 
        * In an IPv6-only management network environment with the VLAN feature enabled, the CONNECT SERVER OA CLI command fails to connect to the server blade serial console with an error displayed similar to the following: Connecting to bay 1 ... iLO failed to respond: Interrupted system call (4)
      **Browsers**
      
        * After logging in to the OA GUI via the Google Chrome browser (Chrome-v34.0.1847.116 m or greater), the OA web application fails to load properly. The OA GUI login screen may display the warning: "Your browser does not have the required functionality to run the application." 
        * When using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, the results of a configuration script fail to load properly after uploading and executing a configuration script using a local file from the OA web GUI. This issue was seen only when more than one script was uploaded without refreshing the page
      **EBIPA**  
      
        * Enclosure devices (including interconnect modules) fail to be configured with the Link Local address corresponding to the IPv6 gateway specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings.  This issue only occurs when an IPv6 other than the Link Local address of the gateway is specified in the EBIPA for IPv6 configuration settings and will only occur for certain gateway server devices.
      **Serial Console**  
      
        * When logging in to connect to the OA via the serial port, if a user enters the **@** key as part of the login user name or password, the entered line is erased. 
        * When the baud rate for the OA serial port is configured to a value greater than the default 9600, attempts to directly paste saved commands or text into an open OA serial console session results in truncation or corruption of the pasted data. 
      **SNMP**  
      
        * No response received to a UDP network request sent from a client to an enclosure device such as iLO or an interconnect module. This issue was specifically observed when an SNMP request was sent to an interconnect module.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware Dependency:**
      
      Customers who wish to support the HP Smart Array P812 connected to the HP
      StorageWorks 600 Modular Disk System (MDS600) must ensure that the hardware is
      at the minimum firmware versions (or later) as defined below.
      
        * Before connecting the MDS600 to the HP Smart Array P812, you must first flash the HP Smart Array P812 to firmware version 3.50 or greater. 
        * After the HP Smart Array P812 firmware is flashed to 3.50 or greater, then the following steps need to be followed to connect the MDS600 with the HP Smart Array P812 controller and begin operating the MSD600.
        1. If the MDS600 has version 2.60 firmware, then it can be connected to the HP Smart Array P812 controller. 
        2. However, to operate the MDS600 connected to HP Smart Array P812, the MDS600 must be upgraded to firmware version 2.66. 
        * If an MDS600 is running firmware version 2.54, it must be attached to one of the following Smart Array Controllers to perform the upgrade to firmware version 2.66:
        1. Smart Array P700m Controller 
        2. Smart Array P411 Controller 
        3. Smart Array P212 Controller
      
      **    NOTE:** Once the MDS600 firmware is upgraded to 2.66 using this alternate controller method, then the MDS600 can be connected to the HP Smart Array P812, which has firmware version 3.50, and begin operation.
      
      **For additional information, reference the Customer Advisory available at the following URL:**
      
      _<http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c0243
      7391>_
      
           To support Dual Domain on HP StorageWorks D2000 enclosures, the D2000 must be at a minimum firmware version of 0067 or later.   
               
            The components of a storage subsystem (e.g. the drive, the controller, and the server backplane) should operate at the same data transfer rate or the system bandwidth will be negotiated down to an acceptable level for all components.   
              
            HP SAS Expander Card connected to an HP Smart Array P410 or HP Smart Array P410i will require SAS Expander Card firmware version 2.06 or higher, to support 6Gb SAS and 3Gb SATA drives.   
             
            When running VMware ESX/ESXi only offline updates are supported using the HP Smart Update Manager on the Firmware Maintenance CD.
      
      **Problems Fixed: **
      
        * After hot-replacement of an HP Smart Array HDD, all drives, which were attached to the expander where the HDD was replaced, report as being in Bay 0. Issue occurs on the HP StorageWorks MSA60, HP StorageWorks MSA70, and HP ProLiant DL180 G6 with 12 bay and 25 bay backplanes. 
        * Spare drives were not spinning up when attached to a non-hot plug backplane on the HP ProLiant ML150 G6 server. 
        * A No-Data Loss post message was not being displayed when the Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) was in a depleted state. The BBWC was improperly disabled permanently when the battery became depleted. 
        * Resolved an incompatibility between Smart Array and the Kaspersky Anti-Virus tool that resulted in a Smart Array lockup. 
        * Modified memory interface parameters to fix an issue resulting in controller lock-ups when utilizing a Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC).
        * Resolved intermittent condition in which the HP Smart Array P812 Controller may not locate logical drives after a power cycle and will report one of the following errors at post. 
      
      _1783-__ Slot 1 Drive Array Controller Failure!__

      Component for Linux - Smart Array P212, P410, P410i, P411, P711m, P712m, and
      P812:
      
        * On an HP P812 controller, executing several sequential Write operations to more than 75 hard drives would result in a controller lockup.
        * Protection has been added to prevent potential Smart Array controller hangs under rare conditions when hot-adding hard drives.
        * When running in a Solaris environment, Smart Array firmware version 5.78 works around an issue where the driver would not handle asynchronous events from the Smart Array controller properly.
        * An interaction issue occurred between the Smart Array Controller and HP SAS Expander card in which the Hard Drives attached to the HP SAS Expander were not being discovered occasionally upon boot up or hot plug.
        * On rare occasions, the Smart Array controller would reset the same SATA drive several times when a PHY is stuck longer than four seconds.
        * The Smart Array P711m and P712m would report false link errors.
        * The Open Connection timeout was reduced to 900 microseconds so that SAS connections terminate gracefully and data transfer stalls are prevented.
        * The Smart Array controller would not connect to hard drives within 20ms under heavy stress.
        * Upon power up, a Post message will now be displayed to the user to indicate that a cache module is needed for the P711m controller.
        * When running heavy I/O in RAID 5, while an HP P410 controller was connected to more than 17 SAS drives in an HP DL180 G6 server with a 25SFF backplane, a lockup issue (error code 0xAB or 0xEA) could occur.
