HP Smart Update Manager (HP SUM)
HP SUM Version: 7.1.0

Note:

• On servers running HP-UX, I/O and HDD firmware may be updated using HP SUM 6.x or later and the I/O and HDD smart components included in this bundle. On servers running an OS other than HP-UX, use the individual I/O and HDD update packages posted to www.hp.com/go/hpsc (not provided in this bundle).
• Any updates to OA, VC and iLO firmware should be done in one HP SUM session first, then exit HP SUM and perform updates to HP-UX I/O firmware in a separate HP SUM session.
• 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 HP Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2 Servers (System firmware (SFW), FPGA firmware, iLO-3 MP firmware & Power Monitor, HDD and IO firmware). This bundle can be used to update the firmware using the HP SUM application.

Note:

• It is required to have appropriate SAS RAID firmware (version 6.42) and LAN-On-Motherboard (LOM) firmware (version 5.2.60) installed on your server along with this firmware bundle, available on  http://www.hp.com/go/hpsc. Current versions can be checked using the HP-UX commands “ioscan -kfnd ciss”, “sautil /dev/cissx vpd” and “nwmgr -q vpd -c lan0”

Refer to HP SUM 7.1.0 User Guide and Release notes for more information on HP SUM.

ENHANCEMENTS:

iLO 1.56.02: 

• Improved console performance from iLO version 1.55.02

FIXES:

FPGA 2.05:

• In rare occasions, when trying to power on a blade on an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 server in multi-blade configuration, with all blade enclosures powered off (AC on/DC off), the blade may fail to power on. This is now fixed.

iLO 1.56.02: 

• Fixed SSL/TLS MITM vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224).
• Fixed an issue where a Telnet session to iLO would sometimes hang during an operation such as FPL dump where a continuous stream of data is being sent by iLO to the client. System and iLO would however continue to function normally.

SFW 1.97:  

• Fixed an issue where a server with a controller configured in HBA mode would sometimes hang at boot time without any error messages if a Hard Disk configured for RAID mode was put into the server without previously removing the Hard Disk's RAID metadata.
• Boot from boot manager may no longer fail after a VC profile has been unassigned and reassigned.
• 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 issue is now fixed.
• Fixed an issue where, on rare occasions, the following series of events would be seen in the SEL (System Event Log) during POST (Power-On Self-Test): a MEM_MEM_TEST_FAILED level 3 event, a SYSTEM_SOFT_RESET, an EFI_LAUNCH_BOOT_MANAGER. These errors did not reflect a real hardware failure if the MEM_MEM_TEST_FAILED and soft reset incident were not accompanied by an MCA or other errors.

 

Fixes in IO components included in this bundle:

Fixes in Qlogic Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters firmware version 2014.02.14:

Qlogic EFI 2.27 (from 2.22):

• The QMH2562 card would sometimes report VC_CLP_RESP_DEV_NVM_ERR when no Interconnect module was connected or when it was connected to a particular 4Gb FC switch. This issue is now fixed.

Qlogic FW 5.06.06 (from 5.03.15):

• Fixed a link failover issue in Qlogic 8Gb firmware for the 8Gb Mezzanine Fibre channel adapter attached to HP VC 24 port module.

Fixes in Broadcom NIC HP-UX version 2014.2.18 and HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 LOM EFI version 5.2.60:

Firmware version 6.2.28 (Changes from 6.2.25):

• LOM and IOX-LAN cards may transmit excessive pause frames during MCA process in Superdome 2 Platform multi-function mode.

Fixes in Intel and Broadcom Adapters Firmware version 2014.04.21:

Firmware version 6.2.28 (Changes from 6.2.25):

• LOM and IOX-LAN cards may transmit excessive pause frames during MCA process in Superdome 2 Platform multi-function mode.

Intel EFI version 4.3.02 (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 SAS FW 6.42:    

• 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”
• 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 Emulex Adapters firmware version  2013.05.02:

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 passthrough 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

 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 HP unsupported option: MultiChannel Option

PREREQUISITES:

• Onboard Administrator firmware for c3000/c7000 enclosures with BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2: OA 4.30 is the recommended version.
• Versions 3.70 and 3.71 are not supported with BL8x0c i2 servers, see advisory c03613140.
• Virtual Connect firmware: VC version 4.30(b) or later is recommended.
• The VC firmware may be updated using the HP SUM version included in this bundle or using the VCSU utility. VCSU version 1.10.1 or later is required. The VCSU utility is not included in this bundle and may be found on the HP Support & Drivers web site.
• iLO-3 MP (Primary and Auxiliary) 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.
•  Refer to the HP Smart Update Manager 7.1.0 User Guide and Release Notes for any prerequisites required for HP SUM.

COMPATIBILITY/INTEROPERABILITY:

• WARNING: Do not disconnect AC power to HP Integrity Servers or remove HP Server Blades from the enclosure during the firmware upgrade process. Doing so may corrupt the programming of the firmware, rendering the Server inoperable.

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

1. Establish a 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               :  01.56.02
  System FW          :  1.97
 MHW FPGA        :  02.05
 Power Mon FW   :  03.04
 Front Panel HW  :  04.00 (or 02.00 or 03.00 are acceptable)
 PRS HW             :  02.07 (or 02.06 is acceptable)
 IOH HW             :  02.02 (or 1.02, 1.03, and 2.00 are also acceptable)

 NOTE: If you see a revision in the “Pending” column, it means that this firmware component has been updated BUT the system was not power cycled to activate it. You may proceed with installing a new firmware version. A pending firmware update will be activated on the next power cycle.

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES:

• 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.
• Java based Virtual Media Applet and Java based Remote Serial Console applet will not be launched on clients running Java 7 update 51 (see advisory c04089818)
• Integrity iLO3 might not be accessible with the latest versions of Firefox browser. Check the iLO3 Operations Guide on www.hp.com for a list of supported browsers.
   

KNOWN INSTALLATION ISSUES:

• If adding iLO nodes when updating the server firmware with HP SUM 7.1.0,
• If iLO nodes have been added automatically as associated nodes of the OA, the system does not automatically power off in order to activate the new system firmware, even if the reboot option was selected on the iLO deploy page. As a result, the system firmware is not activated and shows in Pending state.

·         However if iLO nodes are added individually instead of associated to the OA, the system will reboot at the end of the firmware update, even if “reboot = No” was selected

Workarounds: 1) Manually power off the blades before starting the firmware update and then power them back on afterwards or 2) Add iLO nodes individually instead of letting the OA node add them automatically, but the system will always reboot after the update or 3) power off the blades manually after the firmware is deployed to activate the system firmware.

·         Systems updating from firmware version 21.08 or earlier (iLO version 1.30.30 or earlier) to version 26.41 will encounter the error "This package is not supported for this hardware”.
Workaround: Update first to 26.36 (iLO version 1.55.02) before updating to 26.41.

·         Refer to the HP SUM 7.1.0 Release Notes for complete list of known HP SUM installation issues.

SUPERSEDES HISTORY:

Bundle Version 26.36

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 BL8x0c 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".

Bundle Version 26.35

ENHANCEMENTS:

• None

FIXES:

The following issues are fixed:

SFW 1.93:

• Duplicate SFM event 100819 may be displayed after CPU is replaced and system is booted
• 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:

SFW 1.92:

• 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 one of the following systems is updated with Firmware bundle 26.31 (iLO MFW version 01.51.03), the product number will be reset to the factory default, which may cause warranty entitlement issues when calling HP for support:

o   BL8x0c i2 systems with a  hardware upgrade kit installed (product number AM358A, AM364A, AM365A, AM359A, and AM366A)

o   BL8x0c i2 systems sold as HP Remarketed (product numbers ending in “R”, AD399AR, AH383AR, AM329AR, AH384AR, and AM330AR)  

Bundle Version 26.31

ENHANCEMENTS:

• The Trusted boot log did not contain the Image Size and Image Address of the SAS and HP Fibre Channel Drivers

iLO

• Cannot access iLO using LDAP domain/uid or short Domain Name
• The DF command may report an invalid serial number value for some CPUs (too many digits or exponential value)
• The uc command could rarely cause the MP command mode to hang
• The blade iLO interface may become unresponsive after being connected for about 2 weeks
• Temperature sensors for IO Riser, Power Supply and 4 DIMMs are not visible in system health web GUI although they are monitored and acted upon by firmware
• Not able to"Enable DHCP" from the iLO Web GUI
• During first power on, iLO may sometimes request too much power from the OA
• A user without config iLO privilege is not able to view the status summary page
• An excessive number of DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM WARNING errors may be logged when booting from a DVD using vMedia. Requires HP-UX 11i v3 1203 Fusion for complete fix
• A user from a Ldap secondary group is not able to login to iLO
• From the Web GUI page, the status of "Current Operating System" is not visible and the "launch SMH" button is not available
• Arrow keys do not work correctly in the Remote Serial Console with hpterm emulation
• Fix for CVE-2008-7270, CVE-2009-3555, and CVE-2010-4180
• The cprop command reports an error for POWER_SUPPLY_AC_LOW_LINE when connected to an AC low line

Bundle Version : 26.11

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

• Updated the Event Dictionary

Bundle Version : 26.05

ENHANCEMENTS:

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

SFW

• Added migration support for VC profile boot option
• Added boot options for Virtual Connect primary/secondary boot targets that don't already have one.
• System now generates event for USB overcurrent 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
• Support for BladeSystem Matrix is now enabled with BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2.
• Improved the processing time to load the system health page in the iLO GUI, in particular on HP BL870c i2 and BL890c i2 blades
• 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 which would also 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 in BL860c i2 with 8x16GB and 4x4GB DIMMs

iLO

• An invalid blade slot number displayed in the system event log generated when DIMM quads were being de-allocated
• 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 is in progress.
• Repeated power on, hard power off cycles from OA CLI could create a failure to power off.
• During a FW upgrade, an iLO reset from the iLO GUI was reported to be successful at resetting the iLO although the reset was not successful
• 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"
• Under very particular conditions a conjoined system could display one or more of the following symptoms:
• Fail to gracefully shutdown
• CPU temperatures may go unmonitored
• BLADE_FAILED_BOOT may be logged in the SEL despite a normal boot
• 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.
• Issues with command line LDAP usage
• A mismatched CPU on one blade of a BL870c i2 or BL890c i2 may appear as a mismatched CPU on each successive blade in the system
• 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.
• HP SUM failed to successfully update BL870c i2 and BL890c i2 servers with mixed FW
• Corrected an issue where the iLO TUI PR command and "power & reset" GUI page would fail if FW upgrade was in process.

Bundle Version : 21.08

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Memory Patrol scrubber
• 16 GB DIMM support
• EFI boot options for directed LAN boot
• Multiple connections to the live event viewer are now allowed

FIXES:

• Fixed an issue where the “String buffer too small” error message could be displayed during a network installation of the blade, eventually leading to a system panic.
• Fixed an issue where the MCA errdump log file might not have included MCA information for all the blades.
• 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.
• iLO/Integrity blade information is now shown correctly in OA.
• Fixed an issue where some blades would not power on and generate a POWERON_DENIED_BUSY_ERROR message upon enclosure power on.
• 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 the iLO Web GUI 'System Health Page' could inaccurately display a Mezzanine card as 'not installed' has been fixed.
• 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.
• An issue in which rapid execution of multiple power commands could cause CM menu to become unresponsive has been fixed. A reset from the GUI could clear this condition.
• A rare issue in which an internal file system could crash causing defaulting of iLO user configuration data, or potential iLO unresponsiveness has been fixed.
• The System Health Page in the iLO Web GUI now displays temperatures appropriately.
• An issue in which vMedia connections could experience failures has been resolved.
• Thermal and fan control behavior has been fixed.
• The DC command now sets Asset Tag to default values properly.
• An issue with an unexpected close of network sessions has been addressed.
• An issue in which the VMEDIA connections event was logged without an IP address has been fixed.
• IP address is now logged appropriately in the IEL event for VMEDIA connections.
• Fixed an issue in which the factory default password could have been set to Admin.
• Multiple connections to the live event viewer are now allowed.
• An issue with highlighting the wrong tab in the system health page on BL870c and BL890c systems has been fixed.
• An issue with the rare loss of an EFI configuration change has been addressed.
• An issue where fatal events (i.e. non-recoverable temperatures) may not shut down the system has been fixed.
• Fixed an issue where the system was failing to boot due to temperatures being misread and fans speeding up incorrectly while CPUs were still resetting.
• Fixed an issue where fan speed would not increase after the FAN_BLOWOUT_ENTER event was logged.
• Empty DIMM slots are now properly reported in SMBIOS.
• Fixed an issue where a DVD drive may be intermittently missing.
• BIOS release date has been included in SMBIOS.
• Memory test is now properly disabled with boottest mem off.
• vMedia performance and reliability has been improved.
• Debugging information for Traps/Interrupts has been improved.
• Error handling/containment/logging has been improved.
• Improved help text output for EFI commands.
