  -     *Enhancements/New Features:**
      
        * **Hardware Support**
          * None
        * **Firmware Additions**
          * None

  -     *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**
      
        * **Interconnects**
          * In the 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.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.12
changelog:

        * Included an updated version (2.10.3) of the HP 4Gb Fibre Channel Pass-Thru Module Firmware. This Firmware should be loaded onto the Fibre Channel Pass-Thru Module if its HBA Ports exhibit low SAN bandwidth or become unresponsive under certain conditions.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.12
changelog:
  -      Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator displayed wrong Serial Numbers or Part Numbers for HP ProLiant Blade Servers. Blade servers must complete POST (Power On Self Test) at least one time before the Onboard Administrator can display the correct information.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.13
changelog:
  -     Fixed an issue where the Onboard Administrator could clear the Virtual Connect
      parameters from one or more servers following the sequence of events described
      below. This issue caused a "Profile Pending" condition, detected and reported
      by Virtual Connect Manager, that required affected servers to be powered off
      to clear the problem.  
        
      The Onboard Administrator is rebooted, power-cycled, or failed over followed
      by any of these events:  
      
        * The Virtual Connect Manager (executing on a Virtual Connect Ethernet module in I/O bay 1 or 2) failed over 
        * The Virtual Connect Manager changed IP addresses (due to a change in network connection, DHCP server, or Enclosure Bay IP Addressing setting) 
        * The Virtual Connect Manager was used to change the Virtual Connect Domain Name value.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 2.32
changelog:
  -      Resolved a device identification memory (FRU) corruption issue with the **HP NC364m Quad Port 1GbE BL-c Adapter** which could possibly occur when the OA identifies the adapter.   An indication that the error has occurred is that the adapter would disappear from the OA's Display even though the device is installed.  Additionally in OA versions 2.25 or later, a message will be logged to the syslog indicating the FRU corruption. 
        * Fixed an issue where EBIPA configuration was lost during OA failover to redundant OA.
        * Fixed issue where an OA would unexpectedly reboot after too many open client sessions were reached.

      **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.

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

          * Fixed 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.

changelog:
  -     *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.

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.

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

      > **HP SIM Support**
      
      >   * If you are running HP SIM v6.1 or 6.2, please do not update to OA 3.30
      until you've applied all patches available for your HP SIM version, or upgrade
      your HP SIM to v6.3 prior to upgrading your OA environment.  If running
      versions of HP SIM prior to v6.1, you must upgrade to a HP SIM v6.3 prior to
      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 Cap**
      
            * **Caution**: If Enclosure Dynamic Power Cap is enabled, the changes in this feature in OA v3.10 may result in servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power", or the server may be unable to power on.   This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Power Cap after all server blades are powered on.  If the enclosure Power Available is lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value - then that server could encounter this issue.  The workaround is to increase the Enclosure Power Cap to provide more Power Available to the enclosure.
            * Power-on and reboot of server blades requires that the active Onboard Administrator determine that the server power request can be satisfied.  Changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade.  HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
      
      > **VLAN**
      
            * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled:
              1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the OA modules.
              2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all OA modules.
              3. Ensure that all HP 3G SAS switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the OA modules in that enclosure.
      
      **Firmware Dependency:**
      
      > For firmware compatibility information, please see HP BladeSystem Firmware
      Maintenance, <http://www.hp.com/go/bladesystemupdates.>
      
      **Problems Fixed:**
      
      > **General**
      
      >   * Fixed an issue where false Link status may be indicated when the certain
      NIC adapters are mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module even when no
      cable is attached (as described in the Customer Advisory c02473928). OA 3.31
      contains the corrected 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru PIC Firmware version 3.0.3. PIC
      Firmware upgrade procedure is shown below.
      
      >
      
      >> **Detailed Description:** HP NC550m, NC551m, NC552m, or NC553i 10GbE Server
      Adapters may indicate a false link status when mapped to an HP 1 Gb Ethernet
      Pass-thru module even if there is no cable attached from the Pass-thru module
      to the switch. Even if a cable is either not connected or becomes
      inadvertently unplugged, and therefore no network connectivity is present, the
      server blade front panel NIC LED status will be illuminated green, indicating
      link. In addition, the operating system will display a message similar to,
      "Local area connection is now connected." This can also cause Network teaming
      and configuration issues because the NIC will always report that there is
      link.
      
      >>
      
      >> In addition, the HP System Management Homepage (SMH) NIC status is
      displayed incorrectly when a NIC cable is unplugged under any Linux operating
      system.
      
      >>
      
      >> This only occurs with the 1 Gb Pass-thru module. 10 Gb Pass-thru and 1/10Gb
      switches do not exhibit this issue.
      
      >>
      
      >> **Resolution:** for the applicable configurations described above, upgrade
      the OA Firmware to 3.31, and follow the procedure below for all 1 Gb Pass-thru
      modules in the enclosure:
      
      >>
      
      >>   1. Log into the OA CLI interface as an Administrator
      
      >>   2. OA> show update  
      This will show current and available firmware versions for programmable
      devices. OA 3.31 will indicate the newly available Pass-Thru PIC Firmware
      3.0.3.
      
      >>   3. OA> update device icbay <bay number | all>  
      This will update the specified interconnect bay, note that bay1 is 1A, etc.,
      as shown in the previous command
      
      >>   4. OA> show update  
      Run this again to confirm that the versions now match
      
            * Fixed an issue where upgrading from Onboard Administrator (OA) 3.11 to OA 3.20, 3.21 or 3.30, under defined circumstances, may cause Virtual Connect (VC) to disconnect its Fibre Channel (FC) connections.  This is limited to systems using a HP ProLiant or Integrity Blade with a FlexFabric Adapter (Mezzanine or LOM) and either a
              * Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) connection to a VC FlexFabric module or a
              * FC connection from a FC Mezzanine to a VC FC module
      
      > > **Detailed Description:** OA firmware revisions 3.20, 3.21, and 3.30
      identify the capabilities of the embedded G7 FlexFabric Adapter LOM or
      FlexFabric Adapter Mezzanine differently than OA firmware 3.11.  If a VC
      profile had previously been created and assigned to a blade using OA firmware
      3.11, then the newer OA firmware will detect a VC profile mismatch. This
      mismatch may cause Virtual Connect to disconnect the blade FC or FCoE SAN
      connections after a VC firmware upgrade or when a user issues a VC Manager
      (VCM) reset command.
      
      >>
      
      >> **_All_** the following must be true to be exposed to this condition on a
      VC firmware upgrade or VCM reset:
      
      >>
      
      >>   * A VC profile with a SAN fabric must have been assigned to that blade
      with OA firmware version 3.11
      
      >>   * A blade must have at least one HP FlexFabric Adapter (including LOM or
      Mezzanine)
      
      >>   * The current version of OA firmware is OA 3.20, 3.21, or 3.30
      
      >>   * The blade has not been removed/reinserted, nor the OA CLI Reset Server
      command run, nor had its profile reassigned, since the OA firmware was
      upgraded to OA 3.20 or later.
      
      >>
      
      >> Note that VC profiles assigned to a blade using OA version 3.20 or later
      are not impacted.  
      Note that OA firmware version 3.11 is the first OA version to support
      FlexFabric Adapters.

          * 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. 
        * **Enclosure Power Subsystem**
          * Onboard Administrator detects power supplies within the scope of Customer Advisory c01519680 and flags them with a "Red X" critical error condition and displays the message: "HP strongly recommends replacing power supply #X at the customer's earliest possible convenience pursuant to Customer Advisory c01519680." Flagged power supplies continue to function and the enclosure remains operational. See Customer Advisory c01519680 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01519680>.
        * **Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping**
          * **Caution:** Onboard Administrator v3.10 or later: Enabling Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping may result in one of the following: 
            * Servers halted in POST after a reboot and status Degraded due to "Insufficient Enclosure Power"
            * A server may be unable to power on
      This condition can be a result of reducing the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping
      after all server blades are powered on. If the enclosure Power Available is
      lower than the iLO Advanced report of Initial Power-On Request Value from a
      server blade - then that server blade could encounter this issue. The
      workaround is to increase the Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping to provide more
      power available to the enclosure devices.
      
          * With Enclosure Dynamic Power Capping enabled, changes to power supplies, input power feeds, power redundancy mode, power capping, power limit and the power state of other blades and devices in the enclosure may affect the ability to power on a server blade or reboot a server blade. HP recommends testing a fully configured enclosure from a completely powered-off state before finalizing the enclosure power settings.
        * **VLAN **
          * If the Enclosure VLAN feature is enabled: 
            1. Ensure that all HP Virtual Connect Ethernet and Virtual Connect FC interconnect modules are configured with the same management VLAN as the Onboard Administrator modules.
            2. Ensure all enclosures with Virtual Connect multi-enclosure domains have the same management VLAN configuration for all VC interconnects and all Onboard Administrator modules.
            3. Ensure that all HP SAS Switches are configured with the same management VLAN ID as the Onboard Administrator modules in that enclosure.
      
      **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**
          * OA 3.50 does not support SSO (single sign on) to iLO 2 (ProLiant G6, G5 or G1 server blades) when LDAP authentication is used with the syntax of <domain>\<user>. The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.  See Customer Advisory c03234658for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03234658>.
          * When LDAP-based authentication is used to access the OA, if the user name syntax contains a "," (comma), Single Sign-On (SSO) to any iLOs will fail after several attempts. An example of such syntax is:  CN=smith,CN=users,DC=domain,DC=com  Once this issue is encountered, all other users (local users, LDAP users with syntaxes without a comma, or users accessing the OA via HP-SIM) are also impacted (those users will not be able to SSO to any iLO's). The syntax works correctly with OA 3.55.
          * OA 3.50 (or prior) EBIPA page does not refresh the Management IP address for CBS 3020 Interconnect Modules (Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch) if the Switch firmware is upgraded from version 12.2(55)SE4 (or earlier) to version 12.2(58)SE1 (or later) without resetting the OA or the switch. OA 3.55 refreshes the correct IP address automatically.

      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server blades not properly cooled after a BIOS firmware upgrade. See Customer Advisory c03365221 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03365221>.

          * 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.hpe.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.

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

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

  -     *Firmware Dependency**
      
      For firmware compatibility information please see HP Service Pack for ProLiant
      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **Problems Fixed**
      
        * **General**
          * Partnering alert on HP BladeSystem Insight Display LCD may not be cleared. See Customer Advisory c03801002 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03801002>.
          * When running OA firmware versions 3.6x or 3.7x with the OA deployed in a large, flat management network topology, the OA reboots after logging an OA system log similar to the following: 
            * Nov 11 22:04:54 Kernel: Out of Memory: Kill process 10562 (iptables) score 822 and children.
          * KVM connections to iLO 2 server blades would fail if the default Remote Control Telnet port was changed in iLO.
          * HP Insight Management does not properly report partnered blades installed in lower slots when associated with a full height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL680c. This issues does not occur when the partner blade is associated with a half height blade such as the HP ProLiant BL460c.
          * Insight Display reports a config error when HP Integrity BL890c i2, HP Integrity BL870c i2, or  HP Integrity BL860c i2 Server Blades are paired with a tape storage blade.
          * OA 'Link loss failover' does not function properly after performing OA FW SYNC.
          * Primary OA would stop responding to network requests with a "HTTP service is unresponsive" error message under certain management network configurations.
          * The OA firmware behavior related to downloading files via a URL specifying authenticated FTP as the protocol has changed.  This new behavior results in the home directory of the specified user being used as the relative root path in the URL.  A double "//" must now be specified at the beginning of the path specification within the URL in order to specify an absolute path that avoids the use of the specified user's home directory in the path.  For example: "ftp://user:password@host//path/to/file" will specify an absolute path of /path/to/file while "ftp://user:password@host/path/to/file" will specify a path to /home/user/path/to/file.
        * **Alertmail**
          * False alertmail messages are sent indicating the enclosures status as degraded followed by another message indicating the status has changed to OK.
        * **Authentication**
          * When the OA is enabled for Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) and the certificate chain contains more than 2 CA certificates, previous versions of the OA would not establish an SSL Connection.  The OA now accepts a max depth of 7 CA Certificates.
          * OA reboots with a segmentation violation when uploading a user certificate with an invalid certificate authority (CA) path.
        * **Enclosure Firmware Management (EFM)**
          * The OA EFM configuration would be improperly configured after restoring a previously saved OA configuration script.
          * When observing the EFM update process from a server blade console, note that manual user interaction with any user dialog screens presented can cause the EFM process for that server blade to fail.
        * **FIPS**
          * When FIPS mode has been enabled for the OA module(s) within an enclosure and a redundant OA which does not have FIPS mode enabled is later introduced into the enclosure, the current FIPS mode configuration will not be successfully synchronized to this newly introduced OA module.  To work around this issue, it is recommended that the OA module be reset to factory defaults prior to being introduced into a redundant OA configuration where FIPS mode has been enabled.
          * When FIPS mode is enabled for a redundant OA configuration, the automatic synchronization of FIPS mode configuration from the active to the standby OA module will trigger a reset of the standby OA module to factory defaults.  This operation will be incorrectly recorded in the OA syslog as having been performed by the "Insight Display" user.
        * **GUI**
          * Script error displayed on flashing OA 
            * Issue 1: An alert titled "Warning: Unresponsive script" may occur if connectivity to the OA is lost. This can be safely ignored, and the user can sign in after the connection is restored.
            * Issue 2: An alert titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" may occur on a remote GUI session when flashing the OA. This may be safely ignored.
        * **Integrity Server Blades**
          * Under rare circumstances, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade installed in a HP BLc7000 Enclosure configured with Virtual Connect may momentarily lose its network connection during an OA failover.  See Customer Advisory c03613140 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03613140>
        * **Interconnects**
          * In the HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure with at least one Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3020 for HP c-Class BladeSystem installed, OA enclosure thermal management may not provide sufficient cooling to allow some blade configurations to operate at optimal performance under heavy workloads. 
          * Some BladeSystem interconnect modules may fail to connect or may experience excessive errors in certain scenarios after an I/O module is inserted into an enclosure that is already operating with OA firmware 3.6x/3.7x. See Customer Advisory c03811228 for more information: <http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03811228>
        * **LDAP**
          * Enhanced LDAP authorization to distinguish the same user name in different LDAP Groups.
        * **OA Upgrade**
          * The OA flash process completes successfully although 88% is the highest percentage reported.
        * **Power**
          * The OA would incorrectly display an 'AC Subsystem Overload' alert message due to a transient power condition related to the Dynamic Power Saving mode.
          * SHOW POWER CLI output does not immediately reflect power configuration changes made by SET POWER MODE
        * **SNMP**
          * The OA reboots with an out of memory condition due to many SNMP MIB Walk requests after being active for long periods of time.
          * SNMP not accessible from standby OA IP with OA 3.56 through OA 3.60.
        * **VLAN**
          * Slow OA and virtual media access with 3.60 and later when VLAN functionality is enabled.
          * OA firmware sync feature does not work when VLAN is enabled.

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

          * The GUI cannot complete the loading process on linked enclosures for USER or OPERATOR accounts without OA bay access enabled. This behavior was only exhibited in OA 4.01 firmware.
        * **Integrity Blade Servers**
          * The OA fails to update the IP address of a HP Integrity BL860c or BL870c Server Blade after enabling an EBIPA address for the blade. OA commands such as CONNECT SERVER will fail until either the OA is restarted or the blade's iLO is reset.
        * **IPv6**
          * The CONNECT SERVER CLI command fails in IPv6-only network environment.
          * The HTTP service for IPv6 may become unresponsive configuring the OA with an IPv6 address and enabling IPv6 support through the GUI or CLI within a very short time. See the Customer Advisory [c04012934 ](http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c04012934-1%257CdocLocale%253D%257CcalledBy%253D&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken)for more information.
        * **OA Redundancy**
          * When an OA forced failover is initiated from either the CLI or the GUI and the management network is under an extreme load, a kernel panic and reboot of the new standby module may be observed.
        * **Power**
          * Spurious enclosure power supply insertion and subsequent removal events logged for unpopulated power supply bays in a c3000 Enclosure.

        * **Features Additions and Changes**
          * **General**
            * **Disabled support for OpenSSL TLS heartbeat extension. ****CVE-2014-0160 ****<https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0160>****, HPSBMU02994 - ****[HP BladeSystem c-Class Onboard Administrator (OA) running OpenSSL, Remote Disclosure of Information**](http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/action.process/public/kb/docDisplay/?javax.portlet.action=true&spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&spf_p.prp_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-interactionState%3DdocId%253DZW1yX25hLWMwNDIzNjA2Mg%2525253D%2525253DhPsCeNc%257CdocLocale%253Den_US%257CcalledBy%253DSearch_Result&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken)** \- Document ID: c04236062  (Currently Rev 1)**
            * 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.

      Information Library, <http://www.hp.com/go/spp/documentation>.
      
      **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:
  -     Update to this firmware version if any documented fixes or enhanced
      functionality provided by this version would be useful to your system.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -      **General**
        *     * Cipher suites are now configured and displayed using their RFC 5246 standardized names. 
        * **EFM**
          * The maximum valid length of the Firmware Management ISO URL has been increased to 511 characters. o   **FIPS** This version of the OA addresses FIPS 140-2 certification requirements and is in the In Process list located at <http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf>. Added support for FIPS 186-4 approved RSA key generation used in SSL/SSH keys and certificates    Added support for the cipher TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 Upgrading to this version of OA will replace old DSA keys with 2048-bit RSA keys to meet FIPS 140-2 requirements 
          * Replaced the MD5 password hashing algorithm with the stronger SHA256 algorithm when the Onboard Administrator is operating in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  As a result of this change, OA 4.40 supports a maximum of 21 local users in FIPS Mode ON or DEBUG.  
          * Prevention of 1024-bit SSH/SSL key generation.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.40
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Devices with MAC addresses ending with "81:00" (such as f8:66:f2:6d:81:00) were unable to communicate with the OA. Some examples of the observed symptoms were:
      Attempts to ping the OA from the device fail The OA cannot use such a device
      as a gateway The OA GUI and CLI cannot be used from this device
      
        * The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account that had OA administrator level privileges.This problem only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.    o   When running OA firmware 4.0x, 4.1x, or 4.2x, the OA could erroneously report fans and/or power supplies as missing or failed even though they were not physically removed or failed.  When this issue occurred, after a few seconds the affected fans and/or power supplies would reappear as normal. There are no known functional impacts associated with this issue other than associated brief status reporting anamolies.  o   When the CLI CONNECT SERVER command is issued to connect to the server as an LDAP user, the text console session opens successfully but the "wget: not an http,https or ftp url: http:/<IP Address> /xmldata?item=cpqkey" message is displayed.  o   In rare cases, the following message was logged in the Standby OA syslog during a redundancy role transition initiated by the CLI FORCE TAKEOVER command: "CERTS: Failed to open flash"
      This had no functional impact; the entry could be ignored.  
      **Documentation**
      
        * In the September 2014 (Edition 23) HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator CLI User Guide for OA 4.30, within the description of the SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT command, a command showing recommended values had the BODY MINRATE value as 50 instead of the correct value 500. The command with the correct recommended values is as follows: SET HTTP REQUESTREADTIMEOUT HEADER 3-8 MINRATE 500 BODY 5-10 MINRATE 500
      This error was corrected in the October 2014 (Edition 24) document.  
        **EFM**
      
        * In rare cases, the Active OA module would reboot expectedly during the update of the OA firmware on redundant OA modules.  When this issue occurred, the Active OA module would reboot during the transfer of the OA firmware image to the Standby OA module.  The OA firmware update would fail to complete successfully; a segmentation fault (SEGV) error would be logged in the Active OA system log.  This issue did not cause any firmware or data corruption, and the OA firmware update could be successful if retried following the occurrence of this issue. Note that this issue could only be encountered when updating OA modules running OA 4.30 firmware.  o   Attempts to update the firmware failed on an HP ProLiant Gen9 server blade configured in UEFI Boot Mode or UEFI Optimized Boot Mode. When this failure occurred, the firmware log for the blade server would indicate an error similar to the following for each update attempt, including the two automatic retries that occur on failure: Jul 15 09:34:19 Unable to detect ISOLINUX booting. A final status report similar to the following would also be issued:
      Jul 15 10:30:33 Firmware Management is incomplete on blade <bay number>.
      
        * When using an HP Firmware Management ISO image based on a URL that includes the HTTP port (for example, <http://10.226.36.35:8080/bp-151ilo-2014-08-26-1.iso>),  EFM failed to mount the image. The following error message would be displayed: Unable to mount ISO or validate version information. The URL or ISO is invalid.   CLI commands affected include those that depend on the URL specification via the SET FIRMWARE MANAGEMENT URL command (such as the UPDATE FIRMWARE SERVER command and the UPDATE IMAGE FW_ISO command).** ** o   The EFM firmware log would indicate "Firmware Management successfully completed on blade x" even if the iLO firmware update failed to complete successfully. 
       **IPv6**
      
        * Configuration scripts could not be applied to another OA properly when attempting to configure new EBIPA DNS IPv4/IPv6 addresses or IPv6 routes. Attempts to change the configurations could only add new addresses to those of the previous configuration. It was not possible to replace the existing addresses with the new ones. The following CLI commands now include the ALL keyword to allow clearing of all unwanted addresses or routes:
        * REMOVE EBIPA SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE EBIPAV6 SERVER DNS ALL
        * REMOVE OA ROUTE IPV6 <ACTIVE|STANDBY> ALL
      A configuration script can now use these commands to clear the previous
      (unwanted) EBIPA DNS IP addresses and IPv6 static routes, and then add the new
      ones.  
        **KVM**
      
        * Pressing **Enter** four times consecutively on a keyboard attached to the c7000 Enclosure integrated KVM module would cause the highlighted blade server on the KVM screen to power off or on, depending on its current power state. This issue has been fixed by interchanging the **Ok**/**Confirm** and **Cancel** buttons on the **Confirm: Change Server Power** and **Change Server Power** screens so that the **Cancel** button is highlighted by default instead of the **OK** or **Confirm** button. The default focus is set on the **Cancel** button.
        **Security**
      
        * The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:   
        * CVE-2014-3511: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching man-in-the-middle attacks to force the use of TSL 1.0 instead of the intended later version of TLS. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 ([https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546).](https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546\).# \(QXCR1001370888\))
        * CVE-2007-2242: A vulnerability could be exploited by launching denial-of-service attacks via crafted IPv6 type 0 router headers between two routers, resulting in network congestion. This is documented in HP Security Bulletin HPSBMU03104 (<https://h20564.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=emr_na-c04427546>).
        * CVE-2014-3567: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a DOS denial-of-service (memory consumption) attack via crafted session tickets that triggers an integrity check-failure.
        * CVE-2014-3513: A vulnerability can be exploited to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * CVE-2014-3513: SRTP Memory Leak - a memory leak in d1_srtp.c in the DTLS SRTP extension in OpenSSL 1.0.1 (before 1.0.1j) allows remote attackers to cause denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted handshake message.
        * This release of the OA resolves this security vulnerability by compiling OpenSSl with OPENSSL_NO_SRTP (the OA does not use DTLS and SRTP). 
        * CVE-2014-0139: A vulnerability affecting SSL/TLS transactions that might allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof arbitrary SSL servers via a crafted certificate issued by a legitimate Certificate Authority.
        * [CVE-2014-0015](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-0015): A vulnerability when more than one authentication method is enabled and NTLM connections are reused, which might allow context-dependent attackers to authenticate as other users via a request.
        * CVE-2014-0138: A vulnerability affecting certain LDAP connections that might allow context-dependent attackers to connect as other users via a request (similar to issue CVE-2014-0015).
        * [CVE-2014-2522](http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2014-2522): A vulnerability when running on Windows and using an SChannel/Winssl TLS backend. When accessing a URL that uses a numerical IP address, curl does not verify that the server host name matches a domain name in the subject's CN or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers via an arbitrary valid certificate. 
        * In addition, OpenSSL has been updated to version 1.0.1h to address multiple CVE fixes.
        
       **SSH/SSL keys**
      
        * With OA firmware later than 4.0x, attempts to add an SSH key using the OA CLI ADD SSH KEY command might fail. Intermittently, after issuing the command, the user received an error message ("The submitted file is not a valid SSH key."), in which case the command failed. 
        
      **SNMP** 
      
        * SNMP alerts (or traps) sent from the OA to an IPv6 SNMP alert destination are sent incorrectly to destination port 161 instead of port 162 (per RFC 1157) when no destination port is explicitly specified as part of an IPv6 SNMP alert destination configuration. 
          *  The OA HTTP service would become unresponsive and communication to the OA would be lost after removing a local user account with OA administrator level privileges.  This issue in only occurred when the removed user account had previously been used to configure network services on the OA module.

changelog:
  -     Onboard Administrator 4.50 provides support for the following enhancements:
      
        * **Hardware Additions**
          * Added support for HP 2650W PSU -US PLATINUM DC c7000 power supplies.
      
       Features Additions and Changes
      
        * **General**
          * Introduced a standardized code signing and validation mechanism to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
          * Enhanced the OA CLI SET FACTORY command to set the Administrator password to the factory default "toe tag" password. This helps customers reset the module to the factory defaults including the password.
      
       New CLI command: SET FACTORY [RESTORE_FACTORY_PASSWORD]
      
        * Enhanced the OA firmware to notify users when the network connectivity of the Standby OA is lost. This helps users restore the Standby OA's connectivity to maintain redundancy.
        * Added an option to allow selection of UEFI Target as a One Time Boot option for UEFI enabled blade servers. Now USB, UEFI_SHELL and UEFI_TARGET options have been added as One Time Boot options. The option has been added in both GUI and CLI.
        * The OA bay number is now indicated in the Enclosure TCP/IP Settings page so users can know which bay currently hosts the Active and Standby OA module. The bay number labels would be shifted based on the Active-Standby role transition
        * Added diagnostics for Enclosure management network flooding situations. Now, in the enclosure management network flooding situations, OA will report the top 5 IP addresses in the network that are contributing to the network flood. This will help the customers to identify the source of the flood and take appropriate action.
        * **Remote Support**
          * As an enhancement, SNMP traps for Insight Remote Support service event transmission failures have been added to enable users to monitor this specific trap to identify any service event transmission failures.
          * Added Insight Remote Support service event for indicating low OA RTC battery condition.The service event will give information on the OA module in which the battery is low or failed and the spare part for the replacement battery.
        * **EFM**
          * Added a feature to prevent the flashing of OA firmware while the EFM process is in progress, thereby preventing the devices from getting into an indeterminate state.
          * Enhancements in the EFM feature have been made to handle issues seen in servers that take a longer duration to boot up.
          * Added a syslog notification when the EFM ISO is changed as to indicate the change to users.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.50
changelog:
  -      **General**
        * Fixed an issue which was seen when connecting to the OA from HP SIM using a LDAP account with the user name containing an exclamation character (!) for the SSO.
        * Fixed an issue where LDAP search contexts are showing empty after firmware is upgraded in FIPS Mode.
        * Fixed an issue where a customer logging in to OA using AD/LDAP credentials as a member of both Domain Administrators and Domain Users groups, and where one enclosure is given Domain Administrators access to the full administrative rights of the enclosure, and the other is given Domain Users limited access
        * Corrected a display issue where iLO logs listed in OA shows the order of events sorted incorrectly when the events are more than a year old. The events are displayed sorted on the month and hence events that occurred in the same month in two different years are incorrectly displayed together. The sorting now considers the year also.
        * Fixed an issue where the Device Bay Information page does not show the Management Processor/iLO NIC details under the Server NIC Information table, when the server is powered down.
        * Fixed an issue where OA reports incorrect values for Caution and Critical temperature limits when a blade is in Telco Mode.
        * Addressed an issue where Connect Server Serial command used to fail when server
        * **FIPS**
          * Fixed an issue which prevented transition to FIPS mode OFF when the enclosure is in FIPS-Degraded state. The same failure was seen when the transition was performed on a linked enclosure which was in FIPS-Degraded state. The issue has been addressed and the FIPS mode transition is allowed.
        * **EFM**
          * Addressed issues that would result in EFM failure with the following error messages: 
            * Failed to boot ISO
            * Unable to Monitor HPSUM
        * **Security**
      
             The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2015-0204 - A remote server can supply a weak RSA temporary key for a non-export RSA key exchange cipher suite to downgrade the session security.
        * CVE-2015-0286 - A vulnerability in ASN1_TYPE_cmp function can be exploited to launch a DoS (Denial of Service) attack by causing a crash during certificate validation operation.
        * CVE-2015-3144 - A vulnerability can be exploited to allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact.
        * CVE-2015-3153 - The default CURL configuration sends custom HTTP headers to both the proxy and destination server, which might allow remote proxy servers to obtain sensitive information by reading the header contents.
        * CVE-2015-2922 - A vulnerability in the Linux kernel can be exploited by sending a crafted Router Advertisement message and setting a low IPV6 hop limit and in turn cause DoS (Denial of Service).
        * CVE-2015-1789 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted length field in ASN1_TIME data.
        * CVE-2015-1791 - A vulnerability in some OpenSSL versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (double free and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by providing a NewSessionTicket during an attempt to reuse a ticket that had been obtained earlier.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.60
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where EFM was reporting success while firmware update of iLO 4 failed.
        * Fixed an issue where OA might lose its IP address after OA firmware upgrade when ENCLOSURE_IP_MODE was enabled .
        * Fixed an issue where all iLOs were reset after making EBIPA changes to an empty bay. Now only the specific iLOs are reset.
        * Resolved an issue where iLOs became inaccessible after OA failover occurs with iLOs configured in EBIPA for IPv6. This occurs when an external router in the management network is configured to send Router Advertisements.
        * Corrected the type mismatch of OID cpqRackCommonEnclosureManagerLocation which could cause failures in the SNMP clients. The definition is changed from STRING to INTEGER.
        * Resolved an issue where information on only the last server NIC port of a multiport adaptor was shown on GUI and CLI. Now details of all the server NIC ports are displayed.
        * Resolved an issue of time synchronization between active and standby OA when date and time settings were changed from "Manual" to "NTP".
        * Resolved EFM discovery/update failure when the server power policy in the EFM configuration is set to "must be off".
        * **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-2108 - Addressed a vulnerability in ASN.1 implementation in OpenSSL that can cause Denial Of Service via  any field in crafted serialized data

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 4.70
changelog:
  -     *General**
      
        * Addressed an issue where OA "update iLO all" command fails in an enclosure with maximum Blades.
        * Addressed an issue where a Warning Alert  was wrongly sent when a fan is reseated in an enclosure
        * Addressed an issue where the port mapping information for 560M Izzy adapter Mezz controller was not displayed correctly.
        * Addressed an issue where Remote Syslog logging would fail when OA failover happened in an IPv6 only environment.
        * Enhanced OA to bring the server from a power throttled state back to normal power state upon an OA reboot to circumvent an unwarranted emergency brake.
        * Fixed an issue where the Active and Standby OAs can have the same IP address in some rare situations.
        * Resolved an issue where a Gen9 server's host name gets cleared when the blade is rebooted.
        * Addressed an issue where server blade Power ON will be delayed in enclosures with OA Firmware Version 4.60 and managed by HPE OneView, when the OA module is reset until OneView refreshes the servers.
      
      **Security**
      
      The following security vulnerabilities were fixed:
      
        * CVE-2016-5387- Addressed a vulnerability which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted Proxy header in an HTTP request.
        * CVE-2016-2183- Addressed a vulnerability against TLS ciphers with 64bit block size in which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via an attack against a long-duration encrypted session
        * CVE-2016-6515 - Addressed a vulnerability in OpenSSH which did not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long string.
        * CVE-2015-8215 - Addressed a vulnerability IPv6 stack which does not validate attempted changes to the MTU value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service.
        * Addressed issue where in Onboard Administrator was vulnerable to Buffer overflow.
        * Added the HSTS[HTTP strict transport security] support  in OA.
        * Addressed a memory corruption vulnerability in the post-authentication sshd process.
      
      **Issues and workarounds**
      
      **Browsers**
      
        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.
      
      **FIPS**
      
      Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS
      requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
      running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG
      and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when
      running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
      be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant
      certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state,
      attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will
      fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled.
      When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
      status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI
      interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully
      used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates
      installed in the OA.
      
      **IRC**
      
      Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the
      same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media
      mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application
      (HP Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal
      client.
      
      **EFM **
      
      To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO
      file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on
      HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

      Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) or Offline Certificate Revocation List
      (CRL).
      
        * During Authentication (after SSL session establishment): The certificate's Subject Alternate Name (SAN)  
      or the Subject is validated against the User Principal Name (UPN) of the
      corresponding principal in Active Directory.
      
        * It is important to note that the local user accounts in OA are disabled in CAC mode.

      **Browsers**
      
        * OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a "regression" in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
        * SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8.On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer's settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.
      
      **FIPS**
      
      Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS
      requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA
      running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG
      and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when
      running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
      be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant
      certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state,
      attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will
      fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled.
      When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
      status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI
      interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully
      used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates
      installed in the OA.
      
      **IRC**
      
      Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the
      same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media
      mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application
      (HP Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal
      client.
      
      **EFM **
      
      To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters "_Make Bootable ISO
      file" and _"_Enclosure Firmware Management"_ while creating custom SPP ISO on
      HPSUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPSUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

      **CAC**
      
        * In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
        * Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
        * If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
        * It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access.
      
      **Configurable SSH Port Number                                               **
      
      If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated
      to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware
      feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby
      OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is
      to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next
      boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to
      default port 22 in the Active OA.

      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue, that can result in a network outage, when a profile is created with duplicate multiple networks.   
            Resolved an issue were Virtual Connect Manager (VCM) will reset modules that have port mirroring enabled when VCM restarts, and will casue a network outage.   
            Resolved an issue were VC modules do not provide information about CPU, part number, etc. via Command Line Interface (CLI).   
            Resolved an issue when using VC CLI, were a user is unable to add LDAP groups with names containing spaces.   
            Resolved an issue when a profile is created with multiple networks that use a Shared Uplink Set (SUS) without selecting any networks, and if this profile is applied to a server with Flex NICs, this will result in a segmentation fault, VCM SEGV.   
            Resolved an issue were 'About' HP VCM pop-up window was causing IE8 to crash, which results, in the About table not being displayed.  
            Resolved an issue with VCM SEGV when the user has a profile (with multiple networks defined in a connection without a network being configured), then edits the profile without making any changes, and then applies the profile to a server with Flex-10 LOM.
      
      **Known Issues:  
      **In a double-dense domain configuration, interconnect bays 7 and 8 should not be used to create a FC Fabric. The fabric should instead be created on bays 5 and 6. If a fabric is created on bays 7 or 8 using VCMCLI, an incorrect error message may be displayed 'ERROR: Module not found' instead of 'ERROR: A fabric is not allowed to be created with the specified bay for a double-sense configuration'   
            When a Blade server port has multiple FlexNICs defined (one of them is defined as FCoE) and the FCoE FlexNIC is deleted, the band width does not redistribute to other active FlexNICs even through the GUI will show it has.   
            If the Primary VC modules loses power or is removed, a Profile Status change trap is not sent as it should be. Work-around: When the Primary VC module loses power or is removed, the cpqHoSWRunninagStatusChangeTrap trap (defined in the cpqhost.mib MIB) will be sent by the backup VC module when it becomes Primary. A sample trap is shown below:   
                 
               Enterprise Specific Trap (.11017) Uptime: 20 days, 2:54:46.44,   
               SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: bay2TC,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.11.1.0 = INTEGER: 10,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.2.1 = STRING: "aus-c7000-13_vc_domain",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.3.1 = STRING: "HP Virtual Connect Domain Manager",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.2.0 = STRING: "VCM Domain status trap",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.4.1 = STRING: "3.15",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.12.1 = INTEGER: 4,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1 = INTEGER: 5,   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.14.1 = STRING: "VcD_6f54796e7543",   
               SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1 = INTEGER: 2   
                 
               The two MIB OIDs in the trap above to analyze are:   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.13.1   
               enterprises.232.11.2.6.1.1.15.1   
                 
               These OIDs will contain the following values when the Backup VC module has become the Primary:   
               cpqHoSWRunningConfigStatus : operational(5)   
               cpqHoSWRunningRedundancyMode : master(2)   
                 
            When upgrading from a pre-3.00 VC release, if Fibre Channel SNMP traps were defined with DNS type of the Trap Destination address, upon completion of the upgrade SNMP settings will not be applied to the VC-FC modules. Work-around: Edit any FC SNMP trap destinations, using the GUI or CLI, that have a DNS name for the trap destination and change the DNS name to an IPv4 address.   
            When Virtual Connect has assigned a Server Profile to a server, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) can't modify the protocol configuration (iSCSI/FCoE) of any NIC (including the 551m), even if the NIC is not connected to a Virtual Connect module. Any protocol configuration changes must be made when the Server Profile is not assigned to the server.

It can be found in the 'User Guide' section, under the URL: _[http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695_](http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?contentType=SupportManual&lang=en&cc=us&docIndexId=64180&taskId=101&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=3552695)  
      
        
      **Problems Fixed:**  
            Resolved an issue where the primary VC module could not communicate with other modules due to a problem with the reverse DNS lookup when DNS is enabled in the VC infrastructure.   
            Resolved an issue where the VCM GUI was using HTTP instead of HTTPS.   
            Resolved an issue where changes in the SNMP configuration caused an outage.   
            Resolved an issue where updating gen numbers while creating or assigning a profile caused a NO-COMM state.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where renaming the associated network on the Edit Ethernet Network screen cleared the native property.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen caused a popup message to appear stating that there are no server connections to display, even when server profiles with assigned networks existed.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where the Calculating Server Connections progress bar hung after clicking the Server Connections tab on the Ethernet Networks screen.   
            Resolved an issue where OA would enter NO-COMM state when multiple VC Enet modules were reset at the same time and then reconfigured. The VC Ethernet Module recovery algorithm has been optimized to recover Odd side modules and then Even side modules (previously was a full reset/recovery of all modules in parallel). Depending on configuration of the Domain, this will reduce or eliminate Network outage during a full enclosure recovery.   
            Resolved loss of FC connectivity when an 8Gb/24-Port VC-FC Module receives a multi-sequence frame from an in band Storage Management application (application was executing on a server within the c7000 enclosure). Resulted in a 8Gb/24-Port FC Module reset and loss of FC connectivity.   
            Resolved an issue when the VC-FC 24-Port Module would not recover from an NO-COMM state after an OA failover. The IP address for the FC Module was not being updated correctly, and blocking the proper communication with the Primary VC Module.  
            Resolved an issue where VCM reported a NO-COMM state for a VC-FC module, even though the VC-FC module was still responding to a ping command.   
            Resolved an issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version information did not display correctly on the OA rack firmware page. This resolution requires OA version 3.30.   
            Resolved an issue with VC Manager failing to retrieve configuration generation number from VC Ethernet Module.   
            Resolved an issue where the network nativelan setting cleared after adding another network.   
            Resolved an issue where an hpvcm_deleteManagedObjects return code error occurred when deleting a profile.   
            Resolved an issue that delayed the startup time on an enclosure with eight Flex-10/FlexFabric modules.   
            Resolved a performance issue where adding a single network caused an update of all configured networks.   
            Resolved an issue where firmware details did not display on a Firefox browser window.   
            Resolved an issue where FCoE login took longer than expected when changing between fabrics.   
            Resolved an issue where the VCM CLI command "set enet-vlan" did not return an error for the command "set enet-vlan VlanTagControl=Tunnel SharedServerVlanId=true".   
            Resolved an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blade issue where there were problems disconnecting Flex-10 ports with I/O modules that do not support Flex-10, which could result in disabled network ports appearing as enabled.   
            Resolved a GUI issue where titles on the Device Bay Summary screen were not displayed consistently.   
            Resolved an issue where an SNMP trap configuration with only FC traps selected could not have an associated set of severities.   
            Resolved an issue where an error was not indicated for login redistribution for a degraded/failed SAN in external connections.  
            Resolved a GUI issue for HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 Series Server Blades where the entries in the Server Ethernet Adapter Information table did not properly collapse and expand.  
            Resolved an issue found in an Integrity FlexFabric environment where the HP-UX boot path was lost while unassigning and reassigning a profile.  
            Resolved an issue for a race condition between module recovery and enclosure recovery when an enclosure was recovering from an enclosure NO-COMM condition.  
            Resolved an issue when recovering from a module NO-COMM state where the correct module state is properly tracked to avoid unnecessary failure for LANIO calls and GenNumber requests.  
            Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware version is displayed as "Not Available" in OA, but VCM has the correct firmware version information.  
            Resolved an FC module firmware issue where the DHCP client in the VC 8Gb/24-port FC module firmware became corrupted, causing the FC module to stop responding to VCM, resulting in a NO-COMM state.  
            Resolved an issue when VC modules coming out of NO-COMM state, they may not be in sync with each other, which will result in unexpected additional module failures.  
            Resolved a restriction where customers need to put the VC domain in VCEM maintenance mode in order to get the support dump.  
            Resolved an issue where the GUI will state that the event manager registration has expired and then the user is logged out of the GUI unexpectedly.  
            Resolved an FC connection outage due to a failure of the Virtual Connect Flex Fabric primary module.  During the Backup Module recovery, the error caused a full Virtual Connect reset and recovery which created the outage.  
            Resolved an issue with growing memory utilization on HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet modules when Blades are in a PXE Boot loop.  
            Resolved an issue with a small memory leak found in stpd when handling of subport MED data update notices.  
            Resolved an issue where a VC domain will get into NO-COMM state after performing OA failover and then fail back.  
            Resolved an issue where the Private Networks filter rules were not updated when LAG (Link Aggregation Group) membership changes.  
            Resolved an issue where when a module recovers from NO-COMM state, the stacking links will show failed status even though there is no real operational problem.  
            Made adjustment for the Maximum RSS memory limit for graceful VC management process shutdown.

      threaded IOs to multiple slower targets.
      
        * If the disable VP command was received while an ELS PassThru exchange was active  
      for VP being disabled this caused a firmware buffer pool corruption and the  
      firmware stopped responding.
      
        * A possible command iocb timeout occurred if the driver provided an invalid response  
      queue reference.

        * Increased the number of VFs from 32 to 64 per PF.
        * Keeps track of the creation of a packet. A time-stamping service supports assertions of proof that a datum existed before a particular time.
        * Custom port counters provide the user a clear indication about RDMA send/receive statistics and errors.
        * The change includes the following: 
          * Changed port configuration which required link re-training (such as speed)
          * PAOS down/up
          * This change, will cause the link to toggle and new configurations to take effect.
        * Flint utility allows performing an MD5 checksum on the non-persistent sections of the firmware image.


author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.5-2.1
changelog:
  -     *The following issues are fixed in firmware version 10.16.1006:**
      
        * Fixed an issue causing single port devices to query and write Physical Port TLVs to Port 2.
        * Fixed an issue which caused the device to hang when resetting qkey/pkey violation counter via port_info mad.
        * Improved RDMA READ bandwidth under packet lost scenario.
        * If the PF driver or the tool (e.g. ethtool) use PAOS DOWN command (e.g. by ifconfig down or ip link set down), loopback traffic is blocked for all functions on this port (PF<->VFs / VF<->VF)  
      In Multihost loopback, the traffic will be blocked once the firmware receives
      the PAOS down command from all PFs. However, the loopback traffic will not be
      blocked when the port is down due to the physical link (for example: cable
      plugged out, switch port down).
      
        * Fixed an issue which prevented QP permission for reserve lkey to be passed to the memop machine.
        * Fixed a MLX QP SL mismatch handling which 10.12.0780 occurred when the SL in the WQE was different than the SL in the QP.
        * Fixed wrongly implementation of SM SL2VL configuration.
        * Fixed a DC re-connect flow which in some cases 10.12.0780 sent bad completion.
        * Fixed a DC performance issue; separated DCRs 10.12.0780 SQ from the DCI SQs.
        * Fixed an issue causing the firmware to hang 10.12.0780 when running ibdiagnet. The received DiagData  
      MAD included the following values:  
       Clear_all = 1  
       PageNum = 0  
       Port_select = 0  
      To prevent the firmware from hanging, a port check was added to Set() as well.
      
        * Hardware fatal error used to occur when running "ibdump".
        * FDR10 incorrect speed indication was reported due to the usage of a translation function from the hardware speed to the PRM speed twice.
        * Invalid data was returned by EyeOpening MAD.
