COMPATIBILITY/INTEROPERABILITY: WARNING: After this firmware upgrade,Users of all other Operating Systems other than Windows Server 2003(HPUX/Linux/VMS/Windows Server 2008) should set the MPS optimization switch ON at the EFI shell to improve the IO performance.This setting defaults to OFF, because of an incompatibility with Windows Server 2003. shell> ioconfig mps_optimize on WARNING: If a VGA exists, the VGA ATI Video BIOS firmware on the server MUST also be updated to version yi21029a or later, downloadable at http://www.hp.com/go/bizsupport. WARNING IF DOWNGRADING TO THIS FIRMWARE VERSION: Before downgrading to this firmware version please ensure that it is compatible with the currently installed processors and other hardware. rx3600/rx6600 firmware is "signed" starting with System firmware 02.03. Prior to downgrading firmware to any previous "unsigned" versions, firmware must first be downgraded to System firmware 01.32. DETERMINING CURRENT VERSION: Establish a telnet session with the iLO-2 MP. Logon to the iLO-2 MP using the Admin password. Type "CM" to enter the Command Menu. Type "SYSREV" to display system revision information. The following should be displayed if the current firmware is installed: Current firmware revisions iLO-2 MP FW : F.02.26 BMC FW : 05.26 EFI FW : ROM A 07.14, ROM B 07.14 System FW : ROM A 04.15, ROM B 04.15, Boot ROM A PDH FW : 50.07 DHPC FW : 01.23 UCIO FW : 03.0b PRS FW : 00.08 UpSeqRev: 0c, DownSeqRev: 08 HFC FW : 00.04 SetRev: 00 NOTE: Only one of the System FW ROMs will be upgraded in the firmware update process, therefore the two ROMs will show different firmware revisions. The Boot ROM should contain the latest firmware. NOTE: HFC and PRS firmware are not contained within this package and will not be updated. If the System firmware revision in the current Boot ROM, or any other firmware component is less than those listed above, then firmware should be updated. KNOWN ISSUES: System firmware versions 03.01 and later require the following HP-UX packages to resolve a change in the mapping of I/O port space for the audio driver. In most cases, this change may cause an audio application to hang and fail to produce audio. The packages are available from the HP IT Resource Center (ITRC) website at: http://itrc.hp.com. For HP-UX 11i v2 package PHKL_36983 For HP-UX 11i v3 package PHKL_36984 The vMedia USB key can be connected to the server even if the local client has current open access. This can lead to files being unexpectedly overwritten. The user should verify that all local USB key access is closed prior to connecting to the server. WOL via an Intel GigE AB352 NIC may fail after the system has been shut down via the Windows (R) Operating System. Tape drive product LTO448 takes longer to rewind a tape than the allotted 60 second timeout. Therefore, if the tape boot fails with a timeout while rewinding, the tape boot should be re-attempted after a few seconds. With ATI Video BIOS version yi18738b and a monitor connected to the VGA port, the vKVM session may stop updating when in the middle of a Windows install from the Microsoft RTM media. To resolve this issue, update the ATI Video BIOS on the server to version yi21029a or later, downloadable at www.hp.com/go/bizsupport. The iLO-2 MP Web Console size is adjustable by Zoom out, then clicking and dragging the corner to desired size. After changes to the Emulation configuration, the Web Console may require a click in the text space or click of the Reset button to start working properly. Restricting iLO-2 MP access using Time Restriction settings in the e-Directory does not work correctly with 1/2 time zones. System firmware versions 04.03 and later require the following HP-UX package be installed in order for HP-UX to respond to power policy changes made via iLO Power Regulator and HP Insight Power Manager (IPM): PHKL_37724 iLO Virtual Media installation of this firmware package via remote MP connection to an ISO image file is not supported. The ISO image must be burned to CD/DVD media and mounted on a physical drive connected to the target system. The new enhancement "vFlash beyond 2 GB support" will not work properly, if the target is remote. DISCLAIMER: The information in this document is subject to change without notice.

System FW 02.03 Added support for the PCI-Express I/O backplane. Added support for AB036B/AB037B/AD348A PCI-X 8-port SAS Controller cards revision B (replacement part number 435709-001). Added support for second source of 4 GB DIMMs (AB566A). System FW 01.32 Added support for 4 GB DIMMs (AB566A). BMC FW 05.14 This firmware version and all later versions added support for "signed" firmware. iLO-2 MP FW F.02.23 Added new log "iLO-2 Event Log" which contains events corresponding to Login/Logout actions to iLO-2 and execution of selected iLO-2 commands. Added the license installation date as part of the license information ("lm" command). Server "Ambient Temperature" value is now displayed in the iLO CLI "ps" command as well as in the "Server Status" page of iLO GUI. "Host SMH URL", "Host System Name", "Host System Primary OS" and "Host System Current OS" info are now displayed in the iLO CLI "id -h" command and is now read-only command. "Current Operating System" and link to "System Management Homepage" info are now displayed in the "Server Status" page of iLO GUI. Server "Power Usage" value is now displayed in the "Server Status" page of iLO GUI. A user with "M" configuration rights will now be able to use the "PM" command. Support for vFlash is extended beyond 2 GB. Enabled support to set the iLO LAN parameters from EFI. Enabled Scriptable vMedia support via SMASH CLP interface. iLO-2 MP FW F.01.58 The ARP Ping Command "arp -s" is now supported. Added MP "PE" command as an alias to the "PC" Remote Power Control command. iLO-2 MP FW F.02.17 Enable upgrade of FPGA components from EFI. Added a feature that allows the user to enter a 1-32 character string or an asset tag that stays with the system and helps to track the system. Added vFloppy and USB key support to vMedia feature. PDH FW 50.04 Adds support for native Hot Plug support on rx3600 and rx6600 servers with the PCI-Express IO backplane. FIXES: PRS and HFC firmware updates have been removed. These firmware updates had the potential to fail, causing the HFC firmware revision not to display via SYSREV after an update. When this occurs it may also cause the fan monitoring firmware and any subsequent firmware updates to fail. Servers that experience this issue should manually update FPGA/PSoC firmware to package version 50.07 downloadable at:www.hp.com/bizsupport NOTE: There is no functional difference between HFC version 00.03 and 00.04 on rx3600 or rx6600 servers. System FW 04.15 Corrected an issue introduced in System FW 03.01 where PCI-X "mode 2" I/O Cards installed in the (PCI-X 133) slots could hang the system in some situations. Fixed random MCAs with XPN and zx2 logging rope forward progress timeouts, With an MCA signature not easily traceable to a hardware, firmware, or software problem. System FW 04.11 Fixed incorrect ststus of "INVALD" ROM revision observed in "fwconfig" command output after "fwconfig copy a b" and a system reset. Corrected "pdt" command to display "correctable" and "uncorrectable" rather than SBE and MBE respectfuly. System FW 04.03 During extensive lab testing, HP observed a general exception fault occurring with a Machine Check Abort (MCA) on Dual Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 9000 series (Montecito) and 9100 series (Montvale) processors. An MCA arriving during a call to PAL_MC_ERROR_INFO will cause corruption of the stacked registers for MCAs, which are not PAL corrected, resulting in undefined behavior. This has not been observed outside extreme stress testing in the lab environment. Fixed an issue where wrong CPU frequency value of Dual core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 9100 series (Montvale) processors were being displayed. Optimized the execution speed of EFI GetTime() runtime service which will in turn increase tftp performance found during Windows WinPE 2.0 boot used to install windows. PXE/network boot will no longer fail to try to connect to all DHCP servers in the domain. All USB flash drives are now accessible at EFI using the iLO vMedia. EFI shell "TFTP" Put Operation will no longer fail with new Intel(R) EFI Drivers. Nested MCAs no longer cause invalid error logs. System FW 03.01 Fixed an issue where the wrong PCIe slot status value was being printed out in the MCA log. Provides the correct processor status parameter to the cmc error log. Directed lanboot now works for this platform. In previous releases an unexpected Trap may occur when PXE boot is not answered. Corrected an issue where a nested MCA occurring on a CPU other than the CPU that is reporting the earlier MCA may not return the platform log. Security code now validates the proper ROM (primary). Fixed a problem with HDD enumeration in SFW that caused some OS loaders to not find required resources on other partitions in the same HDD. Specifically this was observed with newer EFI Emulex drivers. BMC FW 05.26 Corrected the monitoring of CPU temperature and fan thresholds Added code to filter out some false power supply fan failures. BMC FW 05.25 Fixed an issue introduced in BMC 5.24 where if the battery is removed, NVRAM gets corrupted and the BMC encounters some uninitialized data that keep the BMC from booting successfully. The VGA on some universal IO boards used with rx2660 are not properly translating its interrupt pin and can interfere with the operation of other PCI devices. This has caused the USB controller to cause an MCA while booting to EFI. This can be an intermittent failure with RHEL 5.1. BMC FW 05.24 Fixed a condition were a certain IPMI command would cause the internal and external health LEDs go off until the system is power cycled or SFW is reset. Properly set the SMS_ATN bit when the Receive Message buffer has been filled from the IPMB. BMC FW 05.23 BMC will allow the write of some tokens, which are used to store EFI variables in normal/guest privilege Mode. BMC FW 05.21 Previously, when the SEL reached 75% capacity the "SEL Almost Full" event was logged. This was changed to be logged at 95% instead of 75%. Power was not being restored automatically after repetitive short AC dropouts. If the power restore policy is set to "on", the system power is supposed to be turned back on if AC power is lost and restored to the chassis. Enhancements were made to recover from these short losses of AC power. Fixed an issue where the BMC would not boot if no CPUs are installed. iLO-2 MP FW F.02.23 Additional note is now added requesting user to close all open files on USB key before launching the vMedia/vUSB. A long push button reset of MP is provided as a workaround for the issue where "MP is not responding while login when ldap is config for Novell e -dir". This push button reset will disable ldap & allow local user login. Memory leak via SSH connection has been resolved. iLO reset cannot be executed without any specific rights. "MP" configuration right is required to do the same. Fixed the issue in LDAP-lite iLO feature, where in Microsoft Active Directory was not allowing anonymous logon. NAT issue has been resolved for Remote Serial Console and Virtual Media Applet in iLO GUI. The Delete/Backspace key of the Remote Serial Console feature in iLO GUI is now set when "checked" and also works as per the expected functionality when the emulation is set to vt100+. When the user enters the https URL in the browser address bar, the iLO continues to use the same access method the user has entered for their browser session, be it IP, domain name, or fully qualified domain name. The address bar in the browser no longer switches to the iLO’s IP address when a DNS/FQDN name is given in the browser. iLO-2 MP FW F.02.17 Who command now shows current user. Web GUI interface timeout has been increased from 5 to 15 minutes. Incomplete hot-key sequence on serial console is now forwarded to OS console. SSH now works with SSH 4.4. vMedia connection enabled when system power is off. Web power status was showing as unavailable on power off. Battery failure event no longer occurs on upgrade. Repeating CO and Ctrl-B can no longer cause an MP hang. Fixed SSH bad password detection. UCIO FW 03.0b The video signal in the iLO Integrated Remote Console had the potential to lose quality following video resolution changes and through system reboots.This is now fixed. I/O BACKPLANE EEPROM UPDATE Resolved an issue where Hot Plug errors may be reported in PCI slots 3 and 4 when running Windows Server 2008. Resolved an issue where certain cards in PCI slots 3 and 4 could unexpectedly shutdown due to an incorrect power value.
