General fixes

• Fixed some GUI tasks, such as Save HMC upgrade data, to return an error instead of silently fail when a '&' character is specified in one of the input fields, such as a password field.
  
• Fixed an issue that can cause a user with a custom task role which includes the Shut down HMC task to be unable to see that task in the HMC actions menu in the new GUI dashboard.
  
• Fixed an issue that causes the Allow Migration with Inactive Source Storage VIOS system setting to always be enabled for Enterprise BMC-based managed systems after every HMC restart.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused some vNIC settings, including port VLAN ID and allowed VLAN IDs and MAC addresses, of vNIC adapters in a profile to always be lost after editing the profile or copying the profile using the new profile GUI.
  
• Corrected the validation of the huge page memory values on the new profile GUI.
  
• Fixed an issue that can cause the HMC GUI dashboard to hang when loading when the language is set to German.
  
• Fixed the manual Refresh button on the GUI Environmental dashboard and Performance dashboard.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Energy mode field on the GUI Environmental dashboard to show a "-" for the Balanced Performance and Power Saver energy modes.
  
• Fixed an issue that can cause SRC E212E161 to be called home due to too many open files caused by running the lslic command many times in a short period of time.
  
• Fixed an issue where a physical I/O adapter is always added to a partition profile as desired even when required is selected on the new profile GUI.  This issue occurs only when the language is anything other than English.
  
• Fixed an issue that causes the system time shown on the HMC for an Enterprise BMC-based managed system to be shown in the HMC's local time.
  
• Fixed an issue that causes partition validation and migration to fail with the error "REST019C Value is not valid for option ' TargetRemoteHMCIPAddress ' " when a hostname is specified on the new Migrate partitions GUI for the remote HMC instead of an IP address.
  
• Corrected the new GUI Update system firmware task to no longer display a checkbox to acknowledge that system disruption will occur when the firmware selected will be a concurrent update.
  
• Corrected the image displayed in system plans for the PCIe Gen3 I/O expansion drawer.
  
• Fixed an issue that can cause the screen to flash and the Tags column in the GUI Systems, Partitions, and Virtual I/O Servers tables to toggle between showing tag names and the number of tags when the tables are initially displayed.
  
• Introduced a 60 minute timeout for authenticating the install packages during update HMC on the 7063-CR1 HMC when virtual media is used.
  
• Fixed an issue that can intermittently cause the Add system GUI page to go blank after clicking Connect and not complete the add system request.
  
• Fixed an issue that can cause the power off of an Enterprise BMC-based managed system to fail from the GUI with the error "Target reached unsuccessful terminal state STATE_NO_CONNECTION", even though the power off was successful.

Known Issues

• When system profiles exist, the new System profiles GUI will display a blank page.
• The wrong hosting partition may be shown in the new Partition Profiles > Virtual NIC > Edit VNIC > Backing devices table.
• The GUI may launch a blank page when launching any of the Firmware actions from the System actions menu available on the systems GUI for a system.  To work around this issue, launch the firmware action from the systems table instead.
• The GUI window may intermittently go blank, especially when performing a system firmware update operation. A browser refresh will fix the issue.
• The physical attention LED state shown on the GUI may not reflect the actual state for Enterprise BMC-based managed systems. The lsled command does show the actual state. A system rebuild will correct the GUI issue.
• Setting the Microsoft Edge browser to a language not supported by the HMC will cause Learn More links on the GUI to fail to launch help pages with the message "The requested help document was not found."
• The recover profile data task fails to restore partition Platform KeyStore (PKS) data. If you have partition data stored in the PKS, it is recommended that you regularly backup profile data for your managed system in case there is a failure in restoring the PKS data in the future after a managed system has gone into Recovery state.
• Dates, times, and numbers on the GUI Performance dashboard are shown in the format based on the HMC language instead of the browser language.
• Occasionally a Kerberos user login may fail even when the credentials are valid. As a workaround, try logging in again with the same credentials after a short delay of 15 to 30 seconds.
