HP SUM Version: 7.5.1

Note: 

• HP SUM 5.3.0 introduced the capability to update IO firmware using HP SUM on integrity servers running HP-UX 11i v3. However due to a hang issue when updating p410i SAS IO from 5.82 to another version with HP SUM, the built-in p410i SAS IO on BL8x0c i4 blades must continue to be updated using alternate methods (EFI applications, ISO images, ...). All other IO components, included in this bundle, can be updated using HP SUM.
• 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 CloudSystem Matrix bundle contains the HP SUM application. This application contains the firmware for HPE Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2 and HPE Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i4 Servers (System firmware (SFW), FPGA firmware, iLO-3 MP firmware and Power Monitor firmware), with I/O, VC and OA firmware).

ENHANCEMENTS 

Enhancements in iLO 1.68.08 (BL8x0c i4 version 46.00) and 1.57.07 (BL8x0c i2 version 27.00):

• 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 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 HPE Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide.

 

FIXES:

Fixes in iLO 01.70.01 (BL8x0c i4 version 46.01):

• 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_FALURE, causing the health LED to go amber until the system is powered on. This is now fixed.

Fixes in iLO 01.68.08 (BL8x0c i4 version 46.00):

• 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.

Fixes in SFW 02.63 (BL8x0c i4 version 46.00):

• In an HPE 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 iLO 1.57.07 (BL8x0c i2 version 27.00):

• 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.
• 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.

Fixes in SFW 1.98 (BL8x0c i2 version 27.00):

• In an HPE Virtual Machine (HPVM) environment, the OS would rarely fail to capture CMC and MCA error logs. This is now fixed.

PREREQUISITES:

• HPE CloudSystem Matrix 7.5.1 requires OA version 4.50 and VC component version 4.45 for HPE Integrity BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2 and BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i4 servers.
• NOTE: OA version 4.50 will act as a bridge release for customers who want to upgrade from versions prior to 4.50 to versions expected after version 4.50. Hence, customers are expected to update to OA 4.50 before they upgrade to future OA recipes.
• The VC firmware can be updated using the HP SUM version included in this bundle. It can also be updated using the Virtual Connect Support Utility (VCSU). VCSU version 1.11.1 or later is required. The VCSU utility is not included in this bundle and may be found on the HPE Support & Drivers web site.
• 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.
• Refer to the HP Smart Update Manager 7.5.1 User Guide and Release Notes for any prerequisites required for HP SUM.

KNOWN FIRMWARE ISSUES:

SFW (HPE Integrity BL8x0c i2 and i4 servers):

• 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 (HPE Integrity BL8x0c i2 and i4 servers):

• 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).

KNOWN FIRMWARE UPDATE ISSUES:

• Bl8x0c i2 systems updating from firmware version 21.08 or earlier (iLO version 1.30.30 or earlier) to version 26.41 (2014.09) 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 (2014.09).
• During firmware installation using HP SUM 7.5.1, at the end of deployment, the system may power off instead of rebooting, even though "Always" was selected as reboot option.
  Workaround: If the system remains in power off state after deployment completes, you may need to restart it manually. Note: The new firmware should have installed correctly. This will be fixed in a future version of HP SUM.
• Refer to the HP SUM 7.5.1 Release notes for complete list of known HP SUM installation issues.

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.

ENHANCEMENTS 

 UEFI Driver 5.2.59 (from 5.2.58) for embedded LOM, NC532m:

•  Added Dynamic Network detection support

FIXES:

iLO 01.61.04 (BL8x0c i4 43.01) and iLO 1.55.02 (BL8x0c i2 26.36):

• Fixed a security vulnerability issue that exists in HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 3) version 1.60.07 for BL8x0c i4 and 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.

Other issues fixed in iLO 1.55.02 (BL8x0c i2 26.36): 

• 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 created ISO Image

Fixes in SFW 1.95 (BL8x0c i2 26.36):

• 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".

Boot Code 6.2.25 (from 6.2.21) for embedded LOM, NC532m:

• In some cases, only 2 PCI functions are exposed in multi-function mode.

LPe1205 HBA FW version 2.02x2 (from 2.00a4):

• I/O “illegal frames received” errors may be reported intermittently by FC disks linked through an 8Gb Hp/Emulex FC card if a disk reset is performed
    during heavy I/O load.
