Smart Update Manager (SUM)
SUM Version: 7.6.5

Note:

• If p410i SAS IO version is 5.82, SUM cannot be used to update it to a later version, an alternate method must be used (EFI applications, ISO images, ...). All other IO components, included in this bundle, can be updated using SUM.
• If a system FW update is pending, it will be automatically activated at next server power off, and server will only power on after the firmware activation completes.
• To verify if a system FW update is pending, run the iLO3 MP SYSREV command and check if the Pending column shows any version for System FW.
• While the server is powered off, you can monitor the progress of the system firmware activation by running the iLO3 MP FW command.

DESCRIPTION:
This bundle contains the Smart Update Manager (SUM) application with the firmware for HPE Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i4 and i6 Servers (System firmware (SFW), FPGA firmware, iLO-3 MP firmware & Power Monitor, I/O and HDD firmware). This bundle can be used to update the firmware using the SUM application.

WARNING:

After January 31^st, 2017, some browsers may stop accepting the existing SHA1 based iLO SSL certificates. This may result in security warnings or may even render iLO Web GUI inaccessible with the latest browsers.
Recommendation (for i4 servers):

o If the users have imported a SSL certificate signed by trusted Certificate Authority, the users can double check if the certificate uses a SHA2 based signature algorithm.

o If the iLO is using a self-generated certificate, then users can use the iLO SO command or iLO Web GUI to generate a new SHA2 based SSL certificate for iLO post firmware upgrade.

For details on how to generate and import a certificate, you may consult the HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide available at http://h20628.www2.hpe.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c02111169-8.pdf (under Using iLO3, in the Administration section, see Certificate Settings section, Table 31 Import Certificate description). For more information, see advisory c05315789.

WARNING:

• iLO FW version 1.67.04 or later is required to enable power savings for low voltage DIMMs on BL8x0c i4 systems with newer system boards (version VP4 or later).
  Note: You have a newer system board (version VP4 or later) if the Front Panel HW version in SYSREV output is 5.00 (or later).

Note:

• It is required to have appropriate SAS RAID firmware (version 6.42 or later) and LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) firmware (version 4.9.416.12 or later) installed on your server along with this firmware bundle, available on http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc
• Current versions can be checked using the HP-UX commands ioscan -kfnd ciss, sautil /dev/cissx vpd and nwmgr -q vpd -c lan0

UPDATE RECOMMENDATION: Recommended (initial version for i6 servers)
Note: The update is only needed for systems affected by the issue described in the FIXES section.

COMPATIBILITY / INTEROPERABILITY:

WARNING: Do not disconnect power supply to HPE Integrity Server during the firmware upgrade process or else the ROM will be corrupted and the system board will need to be replaced.

DETERMINING CURRENT VERSION:
SUM displays the current version of the firmware on the host. However user can also log in to the iLO-3 MP and use the following procedure to find out the current firmware versions.

1. Establish a ssh/telnet session with the iLO-3 MP.
2. Logon to the iLO-3 MP using the Administrator password.
3. Type "CM" to enter the Command Menu.
4. Type "SYSREV" to display system revision information. The following should be displayed if the current firmware is installed.

SYSREV

     Revisions            Active    Pending
    ---------------------------------------------------
iLO FW             : 02.00.03
     System FW        : 02.68
     MHW FPGA      : 02.02
     Power Mon FW  : 03.04
     Front Panel HW : 04.00 or 5.00  (02.00 and 03.00 are also acceptable)
     PRS HW           : 02.08   (02.06 and 02.07 are also acceptable)
     IOH HW           : 02.02   (1.02, 1.03, and 02.00, are also acceptable)

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES:

SFW:

• DDDC (Double Device Data Correction) will not be invoked for a second DRAM failure in certain cases when excessive single bit memory errors are observed. This will be indicated by a WBEM Event 7000. There is no impact to customer applications however it is recommended to service the DIMM upon seeing this event as the server will stop correcting single bits memory errors if one more DRAM in the same rank fails.

iLO:

• In the iLO 3 and OA Web GUI, when displaying screens with the nPar configuration for i6 blades, the graphic shows correctly the blade name (BL8x0c i6) but it shows the former HP logo instead of the new HPE logo. This will be fixed in future releases.
• The Firefox browser version 52 or later does not support launching of Integrity iLO3 virtual media and Remote Serial Console Java applets.  Internet Explorer or Firefox version 51 (or earlier) have to be used by the users to access these services.
• IRC (Integrated Remote Console) is currently not supported for Google Chrome browser. Please use Internet Explorer or Firefox browsers to access iLO if IRC has to be accessed.
• In enhanced security mode (when Enforce AES/3DES option is enabled), TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and SHA1 are disabled by default. If the .NET framework or the .NET ClickOnce application used in the client does not support TLS 1.2, Integrated Remote Console (IRC) application download will fail. It is recommended to upgrade the Microsoft .NET framework. As an alternative, iLO Text User Interface command SO provides an option Enable TLS1 to enable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1 and SHA1 in enhanced security mode for browser based access to iLO.
• UEFI may fail to detect vMedia when UEFI boots with vMedia, both USB key and DVD already connected.
  Workaround: Issuing reconnect -r should display virtual devices in the UEFI.

KNOWN I/O FIRMWARE ISSUES:

• Online firmware update may fail for newer Qlogic 8 GB FC cards with the error: "Error: ROM programming was unsuccessful".
  Workaround: HPE recommends updating these FC cards using the EFI bundle instead. The EFI bundle is available at http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc; enter the card product name, select the Operating System OS Independent, then category "EFI".
  Note: This issue exists in driver version FibrChanl-01 B.11.31.1503 or earlier and is fixed in driver version FibrChanl-01 B.11.31.1506.

KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES:

• SUM fails on Windows due to McAfee firewalls. This is a known issue with McAfee that McAfee firewalls block SUM traffic.

            To resolve this issue, enable the port traffic associated with the SUM application by performing the following steps:

1. Bring up McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention
• Windows Vista: From the system tray, click the McAfee icon -> Manage Features -> Host Intrusion Prevention
• Windows 7: From the system tray, right click Host Intrusion Prevention icon -> Configure
2. Select the Activity Log tab. Notice the entry in the Message column similar to the following: Blocked Incoming TCP from the HOST (x.x.x.x) during execution of SUM.
3. Select the Firewall Policy tab.
4. On the bottom of the screen, click Add (Add new rule).
5. Use the following settings for the new firewall rules on your system.
   Action: Permit
   Protocol: IP - TCP
   Direction: Incoming
   Local Service: Single - http
   Remote Service: Range From: 1024 - To: 65535
   Address: Any Active
6. Click OK to ensure new firewall rules have been implemented.
7. Restart SUM.

SUPERSEDES HISTORY:
2016.10 (47.00):

ENHANCEMENTS:
iLO 1.71.06:

Going forward, the self-signed certificate generated by iLO version 1.71.06 or later will have SHA2 based signature (instead of SHA1 based).

The firmware implements new security enhancements which include support for TLS 1.2 and stronger cipher suites.

FIXES:
iLO 1.71.06:

Fixed an issue where IRC (Integrated Remote Console) application sometimes did not load or work properly when accessed by a LDAP user.

2016.04 (46.01):

ENHANCEMENTS:

March 2016 update:

• Added a warning to clarify that iLO firmware version 1.67.04 or later is required for enabling power savings on low voltage DIMMs with newer VP4 system boards.

FIXES:

iLO 01.70.01:

• Upon A/C power cycle or insertion of BL8x0c i4 blades (AM377A), iLO3 on newer system boards running iLO firmware version 1.68.08 or lower would log a false fatal event CPU_VCCIO_CONFIG_FAILURE, causing the health LED to go amber until the system is powered on. This is now fixed.

Note: If you do not observe the issue upon A/C power cycle or blade insertion (no CPU_VCCIO_CONFIG_FAILURE event logged in the FPL and no amber health LED before system power on), then your system is not affected.

2015.09 (46.00):

ENHANCEMENTS:

iLO 1.68.08:

• Users can now configure a security banner message to be displayed in the iLO login screen.
• iLO now enables users to configure an idle session timeout for web based user interface.
• An option is now provided in Integrity iLO3 to "Enforce AES/3DES" ciphers for network encryption.
• Users are now able to create a custom CSR (Certificate Signing request) and to import a third party signed SSL certificate into iLO for secure iLO webGUI access.

Note: For more information on these enhancements, refer to the latest iLO user guide.

FIXES:
iLO 01.68.08:

• Addressed the OpenSSL Poodle (Padding Oracle on Downgraded Legacy Encryption) vulnerability CVE-2014-3566 in iLO. Note: SSLv3 based connections to iLO webGUI are now disabled.
• Users can now successfully access the iLO3 GUI using Firefox version 23 or above.
• iLO will now allow two simultaneous telnet connection attempts and five simultaneous SSH connection attempts.
• A Telnet session to iLO would rarely hang during an operation such as FPL dump where continuous stream of data was being sent by iLO to the client. This is now fixed.
• Fixed an issue where system firmware would occasionally de-configure one or more DIMMs reporting DIMM SPD Checksum errors due to a timeout during AC power cycle of the system.
• Disabled export cipher encryption in iLO3.

SFW 02.63:

• In an HP Virtual Machine (HPVM) environment, the OS would rarely fail to capture CMC and MCA error logs. This is now fixed.
• A server containing a PCI card which does not support PCI extended capability would sometimes hang without any error message while handling an MCA. This is now fixed.

2015.07 (45.00):
FIXES:
iLO 01.67.04:

• Fixed SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224).

2013.08 (44.01):

SFW 2.61:

• Fixed an issue where the execution of the SetTime firmware call might cause short system hangs of 12.75 seconds. Occasionally longer system hangs were observed. The problem may cause affected servers running in a Serviceguard cluster configuration with member timeout values slightly higher than the delay to fail with a Serviceguard INIT due to expiration of the Serviceguard safety timer. Note: Other third party clustering products are affected by this issue too
• A server with a controller configured in HBA mode may hang at boot time without any error messages if a Hard Disk configured for RAID mode is put into the server without previously removing the Hard Disk's RAID metadata. This issue is now fixed.

 Fixes in IO components in this bundle (from IO components in bundle version 43.01 or 2013.03):

 LAN FW 4.2.401.2212 (from 4.1.450.14) for LOM, NC551m, NC552m, NC553m:

• Critical: As the result of auto negotiation failure, the connection between LOM and ProCurve 6120XG may link up at 1Gbps instead of 10Gbps. This occurs intermittently (as often as once in 10 retries) after executing Reset Server blade # from the OA CLI.
  Affected Products - All BE3 based Cards and LOMs. This is also seen with 10G passthrough Interconnect module.
• BL8x0c i4 LOM NIC LED remains green even when the LINK is down on 1Gbps switch module.
• Boot failure might be seen after running commands "reconnect -r", "map -r" commands at EFI environment.
• Boot from SAN intermittently fails during EFI bootstrap of a FCoE device that is busy.
• FCOE EFI version truncated in VPD data that is displayed by ODE-FCFUPDATE tool at EFI.
• On HP-UX, the fcoc port driver state is displayed as AUTHENTICATION/DISCOVERY when fcocutil command is run to check the port information.

LAN EFI 2.22.a1 (from 2.21.ac) for LOM, NC551m, NC552m, NC553m:

• Critical: After power cycling the entire C7000 enclosure, the HP Integrity BL8X0c i4 LOM systematically fails to initialize with Catalyst Switch 3020 when Power Restore is set to ON (PR = ON) and you enter to EFI shell before HP-UX boot. You will see an error similar to: iocxgbe: The device at hardware path 0/0/0/3/0/0/0 failed initialization (3821) during HPUX boot. This issue is only seen with HP BL8X0c i4 LOM

SAS FW 6.22 for HP p410i and HP p711m:

• HP-UX boot may fail with READ Error (elf_load) if boot volume is built on SAS Logical Volume larger than 2TB
• On rare occasions during power-up of an HP DS2200sb, the expander backplane would be unresponsive and the attached Smart Array Controller would not be allowed to discover attached drives.
• The training of the DDR2 DIMMs has been improved in order to prevent the rare occasions when 1783 POST error messages displayed and subsequently the controller became unresponsive.
• Protection has been added to prevent potential Smart Array controller hangs under rare conditions when hot-adding hard drives.
• The Open Connection timeout was reduced to 900 microseconds so that SAS connections terminate gracefully and data transfer stalls are prevented.
• The Smart Array controller would not connect to hard drives within 20ms under heavy stress.
• Upon power up, a Post message will now be displayed to the user to indicate that a cache module is needed for the HP P711m controller.
• During heavy I/O, when the HP P711m controller is connected to a HP P2000sa G3 MSA Array System via a HP 6Gb SAS Switch, a lockup issue (error code 0x15) might occur.

FC Firmware 2.02x2 (from 2.00a4) for LPe1205:
