Update Manager (HP SUM)
HP SUM Version: 6.3.1
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 HP Integrity BL8x0c i4 blades must continue
to be updated using alternate methods (EFI applications, ISO images, ...). All other IO components,
including SAS IO 5.84, 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).

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
KNOWN
FIRMWARE ISSUES:
SFW (HP 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.
- A
server containing a PCI card which does not support PCI extended
capability may hang without any error message while handling an
MCA.This issue affects the HP Integrity BL8x0c i2 and i4 servers and
the HP Integrity rx2800 i2 and i4 servers.
iLO (HP
Integrity BL8x0c i2 and i4 servers):
- There
is a rare chance that a Telnet session to iLO may hang during an operation
such as FPL dump where continuous stream of data is being sent by iLO
to the client. System and iLO will continue to function
normally. To recover, the hung Telnet session may be closed and new
sessions can be opened to access iLO.

Bundle
7.2.2.0:
FIXES:
SFW
2.61:
- Fixed an issue where
the execution of the SetTime firmware call could cause short system hangs
of 12.75 seconds. Occasionally longer system hangs were observed. The
problem could 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 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. This issue is
now fixed.
OA
4.01:
- Fixed an issue where,
under rare circumstances, during an OA failover, an HP Integrity BL8x0c i2
or BL8x0c i4 Server Blade might momentarily lose its network connections
when configured with Onboard Administrator firmware version 3.70 or 3.71
and Virtual Connect. Applications such as HP Serviceguard and clustered
systems that use networking and/or Fibre Channel could be negatively
impacted causing system outages.
Fixes
in IO components in this bundle (from IO components in bundle version 7.2.1.0):
SAS
FW 6.22 for p410i and p711m:
- HP-UX boot might fail
with READ Error (elf_load) if boot volume is built on SAS Logical Volume
larger than 2TB. This is now fixed.
- 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. This is now fixed.
- 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. This is now fixed.
- Upon power up, a Post
message will now be displayed to the user to indicate that a cache module
is needed for the 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) would
sometimes occur. This is now fixed.
Bundle
Version: 7.2.1.0:
ENHANCEMENTS:
BL8x0c
i2 SAS FW 6.22 (from 5.78) for embedded p410i SAS:
- The maximum boot disk
size supported with the LVM boot layout is enhanced from 2TB to 16TB with
firmware version 6.22 and HP-UX B.11.31.1303
- HBA/RAID mode toggle
support is now available within ORCA. (Mode Toggle only supported for
P410i controllers)
FIXES:
Fixes
in BL8x0c i4 LOM FW 4.2.401.2212 (from
4.1.450.14) for embedded NC553i:
- 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.
- 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 H-PUX the fcoc port
driver state is displayed as AUTHENTICATION/DISCOVERY when fcocutil
command is run to check the port information.
Fixes in BL8x0c i4 LAN EFI 2.22.a1 (from 2.21.ac) for
embedded NC553i:
- 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 BL8X0c i4 LOM
- Reset to Defaults
restores wrong power configuration. It shows an HP unsupported option:
“MultiChannel Option”. Reset to Default is issued from Device
Manager->Emulex 10G NIC-> R/r or Erase Configuration
Fixes
in BL8x0c i2 SAS FW 6.22 (from 5.78) for p410i:
- 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

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.

System
/ iLo firmware (1.53.02):
Enhancements:
- 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:
- 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:* HP BL860c/BL870c/BL890c i2
systems with a hardware upgrade kit installed (product number
AM358A, AM364A, AM365A, AM359A, and AM366A)* HP BL860c/BL870c/BL890c
