Note:

• On servers running HP-UX, I/O and HDD firmware may be updated using HP SUM 6.0 or later and the components included in this bundle. 
• If a system FW update is pending, it will be activated at next server power off, and server can be powered on only 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”.
• Warning: If you reset the system while the SFW update is pending, the server may not be able to reboot due to a firmware mismatch between SFW and iLO. If that’s the case, power off the server to enable the new SFW activation and then power the server back on after activation is complete.
• While the server is powered off, you can monitor the progress of the system firmware activation by running the iLO3 MP “FW” command from the Command Menu (CM). 

DESCRIPTION:
This bundle contains the HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM) application with the firmware for HPE Integrity rx2800 i2 Servers (System firmware (SFW), FPGA firmware, iLO-3 MP firmware & Power Monitor and IO firmware). This bundle can be used to update the firmware using the HP SUM application.

Note:

• This bundle supports firmware update for all modes of HPE Integrity rx2800 i2 server.

FIXES:

iLO 1.58.01:

• 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.
• Fixed SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability CVE-2014-0224
• 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.
• Fixed an issue where iLO sometimes displayed incorrect power input voltage value in the Power Meter Readings page.
• Disabled export cipher encryption in iLO3.

SFW 1.96:  

• 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.

Fixes in SAS FW 6.42 (from 6.22):    

• Resolved an issue where, after doing a mode toggle at EFI ORCA, the controller name would not be displayed when running the command: “reconnect –r”
• Resolved an issue where P411 (HBA mode) in Multi Initiator configuration, connected to share disk,  failed to boot from primary path at EFI
• Added a new POST message 1813 to indicate bad or failed battery charge circuit
• No longer display a POST error message 1805 “Cache Module Super–Cap is not installed” when the controller is configured to work without super-capacitors.

Fixes in SAS FW 6.22 (from version 5.78):

• 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 displays followed by an unresponsive controller.
• 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.

Fixes in Intel EFI version 4.3.02 for rx2800 i2 and i4 LOM (from 4.3.01):

• NIC EFI driver update was failing on some cards shipped with a flash memory chip (Atmel 25DF041A) that did not support the EFI driver. EFI driver version 4.3.02 fixes this issue.

Fixes in Emulex Firmware 4.9.416.12 (from 4.2.401.2212)

• Critical/Serious Defects

• When ISL (Inter-Switch Link) is disabled to remote site, local storage access is also lost
• IOCXGBE: Pause frame storm seen under DEAD state condition

• Medium/Low Defects

• IOCXGBE:  Flow control behavior is not functioning as expected 
• Link status is shown as DOWN in HP-UX & HII (Human Interface Infrastructure) though the interface is UP in OA

Fixes in Emulex firmware 4.2.401.2212 (from 4.1.450.14):

• 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 pass-through Interconnect 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

 Fixes in NIC EFI driver 2.22.a1 (from 2.21.ac):

• Reset to Defaults restores wrong power configuration. Reset to Default is issued from Device Manager->Emulex 10G NIC-> R/r or Erase Configuration
  Symptom - Restoring the defaults shows an HPE unsupported option: MultiChannel Option

PREREQUISITES:

• iLO-3 MP(s) must be on the network (reachable from local system) and have static IP or be configured with DHCP.
• An http daemon, service or IDS (Intrusion Detection System) running in the local system may interfere with HP SUM connecting to remote hosts, hence these services may need to be disabled when HP SUM is running.
• Please see the HP Smart Update Manager User Guide for any prerequisites required for HP SUM.

SUPERSEDES HISTORY:

Bundle Version 26.36

ENHANCEMENTS:

UEFI Driver 5.2.59 (from 5.2.58) for AM225A, AM232A, AM233A:

•  Added Dynamic Network detection support

FIXES:

iLO 1.55.02:

• Fixed a security vulnerability issue that exists in HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 3) versions 1.53.02 and lower for rx2800 i2. The vulnerability could be remotely exploited resulting in disclosure of information.  See SSRT100934 for more details.
• When the serial port MUX is set to “Persistent AUX” mode and the server is A/C power cycled, the serial port MUX will retain the “persistent AUX” mode setting and will not reset to “iLO” mode.
• The severity of the events “VOLTAGE_FAULT and VOLTAGE_LOW_CRITICAL” have been increased so that power supply events in SFM such as "power supply failed or disconnected" and "power supply AC lost" will now be reported in HP-UX syslog for easier monitoring.
• Fixed an issue where an idle SSH session to iLO3 from a PUTTY client may freeze or may get disconnected with an error message “Incoming packet was garbled on decryption”.
• SSH connection to iLO from an OpenSSH 5.9 client will now work even when a reduced list of key-exchange algorithm is not indicated.
• IPMI chassis status now properly reflects the sensor status when cover is off or after a fan failure.
• MP-iLO’s 15 minute auto-logoff no longer truncates a V-media Create ISO Image.

SFW 1.95:  

• Fixed a very rare issue where a system running HP-UX might appear hung for 12 seconds or a clustered system might crash or reset if the heartbeat timer was set to a value lower than 12 seconds.
• Fixed an issue where a failed CPU socket would not get de-configured, causing the system to hang and not boot to EFI shell, or to continuously reboot, with the error "BOOT_CPU_LATE_SELF_TEST_FAIL".
• Fixed an issue where specific systems would very rarely hang with the "BOOT_NOT_DETECTED" error after an A/C power cycle.

Bundle Version 26.35

ENHANCEMENTS:

• None

FIXES:

The following issues are now fixed:

SFW 1.93:

• Duplicate SFM event 100819 may be displayed after CPU is replaced and system is booted
• In presence of a 2-slot I/O riser card, HP-UX ioscan may display an extra slot or syslog may show ACPI warnings similar to "could not find bd for ACPI handle".
• System may take many extra minutes to boot to EFI if unreadable media is in DVD drive. 

iLO-3 1.54.03:

• Added functionality to disable iLO reset request from the FPGA while firmware is being programmed.
• iLO serial task errors might cause an iLO hang.
• iLO internal task priority changed to better insure that the watchdog timer task will reset iLO when necessary.
• The virtual keyboard and mouse may stop working after an MP reset with OpenVMS.

FPGA 2.02:

• An iLO firmware hang may prevent reset via the iLO physical presence button; a fifteen (15) second button hold now generates a hardware reset signal regardless of iLO firmware state.

Bundle Version 26.34

ENHANCEMENTS:

• None

FIXES:

Fixed an issue where a memory update operation may not complete properly when an L2 cache line encounters a second single bit data error. This may result in the possibility of undefined system behavior. See Intel Specification Update for more information. If Specification Update link does not work, HP recommend to go to www.intel.com  and search for the latest version of the Intel® Itanium® Processor 9300 Specification Update.

• Fixed an issue where PAL returned no information on bus log overflow
• Fixed an issue where an invalid log format may have been generated by hardware when multiple MLD errors occur in a small window

 Bundle Version 26.33

ENHANCEMENTS:
iLO

• The  serial port can now be set permanently to AUX mode using a new option provided in iLO. AUX mode will be retained even after an AC power cycle.

FIXES:

iLO

• The system iLO may hang if it remains up without being reset for days or weeks, and a system power cycle may be required to recover.

• If an HP Remarketed system (product number: AH395AR, AH396AR, and AT112AR) is updated with bundle version 26.30, the product number will be reset to the factory default, which may cause warranty entitlement issues when calling HP for support.

ENHANCEMENTS:
iLO

• Support for HP Integrity rx2800 i2 Carrier-Grade Server with DC Power Server (Telco/NEBS certified) and Thermal Policy.

Bundle Version : 26.12

ENHANCEMENTS:
SFW

• Enable support for SAS tape boot (requires to use HP Integrity Smart Array firmware (SAS IO firmware) version 5.06 or later).
• Added extra debug logging for CPU "uncore" during a system abort.

FIXES:
SFW

• Illegal memory configurations could cause a system abort during boot after a DIMM de-allocation. Now, the system will boot with reduced memory and display appropriate alerts.
• Fixed an issue where CMC (Correctable Machine Check) log may not be generated after a recoverable LLC (Last Level Cache) error

iLO

• The iLO GUI, System Health screen, no longer displays Altitude Eq Temperature because this sensor is NOT a temperature sensor and it did not display correct information.
• Updated the Event Dictionary

Bundle Version : 26.06

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Support for power management from iLO and OS including Advanced Power Capping and Power Regulation

SFW

• System now generates event for USB over current condition at EFI
• Improved the analysis of MCA logs in case of uncorrectable errors by extending data reporting
• Improved internal tracking of correctable memory errors count on x8 DRAMs

iLO

• Viewing the forward progress log is now supported in the iLO GUI
• Availability and usability have been enhanced.

FIXES:
SFW

• EFI shell extended characters were forced off when entering the boot manager, and restored to their previous state when returning to the shell; this is now fixed
• The level 5 IODISC_RP_LINK_TRAIN_ERR event could be erroneously displayed and cause HPUX to not discover the IPMI device
• Certain events were not sent while in virtual mode during system OS shutdown
• A failed DIMM would no longer show as de-allocated after reboot
• The SM BUS speed was set too high during an MCA, potentially leading to nested MCAs
• Corrected Memory interleaving problem causing MCA with 8x16GB and 4x4GB DIMMs

iLO

• A rare issue in which disconnecting Web SSL users from the Web interface on the "Active Users" tab of the "Status Summary Page" could disallow subsequent web connections. This could be remedied by resetting iLO from the TUI.
• The iLO reset command could be performed from the CLI (xd --r) or the GUI while a FW update was in progress.
• The iLO command prompt could hang from invalid or missing parameters. This could be remedied by resetting from iLO GUI, or using SSH exec "xd -r"
• Failed boot may be logged in the SEL despite a normal boot; and the iLO health monitoring may inappropriately represent the LEDs in the Virtual Front Panel and iLO GUI.
• iLO GUI "system health" page may not load completely on a fully loaded system.
• Corrected issues with command line LDAP usage
• A dropped LAN connection during firmware update could lead to a hung firmware update command or hung HP SUM. iLO now detects the dropped connection, and reports the error.
• iLO TUI (Terminal User Interface) PR command and "power & reset" GUI page would fail if FW upgrade was in process.
• Corrected thresholds for IO Riser area temperature sensor

Bundle Version : 21.07

ENHANCEMENTS:
None

FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where the “String buffer too small” error message could be displayed during a network installation of the server, eventually leading to a system panic.
• Improved boot stability by fixing several potential occurrences of MCAs during boot.
• Health state does not return to 'OK' when temperature goes from Critical to OK. In order to clear this error a system power cycle was required.
• Fixed an issue in which the DIMM Slot location for DIMM errors was being reported as decimal numbers when it should have been reported as hexadecimal numbers.
• An issue in which LDAP did not expect the format user@domain.com has been fixed in the iLO web GUI. The problem still exists in the iLO CLI. The work around is to configure the LDAP server to use an alternative format.
• The System Health Page in the iLO Web GUI now displays temperatures appropriately.
• An issue in which the VMEDIA connections event was logged without an IP address has been fixed.
• An issue with the rare loss of an EFI configuration change has been addressed.
• vMedia performance and reliability has been improved.
• Error handling/containment/logging has been improved.
• Fixed iLO3 Web GUI’s System Inventory page [?] Help icon that lead to error.
• Fatal fan state should now display fatal in the iLO Web GUI instead of warning.
• Pending firmware state with system power ON will now get cleared when AC power loss is detected.
• Power Supply failed state is now persistent when system is turned off.
• iLO Web GUI will no longer show fan units as failed after completion of a pending SFW update.
• Issue of locator UID status displaying not available after SFW upgrade is now fixed.
• Issue of empty IO Slots reported as occupied is fixed.
