Integrated Management Module (IMM) Firmware Update Change History
IMPORTANT: Prerequisite for updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) ========== Updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) requires the current IMM firmware version to be 1.10 (yuoo57h), or later. If this prerequisite is not met before updating to version 1.30 (yuooc7e) the system will not power on correctly. If the system is not running a minimum of IMM version 1.10 (yuoo57h), update the IMM before attempting to update to 1.30 (yuooc7e). This prerequisite was a limitation of IMM version 1.30, and it has been fixed in IMM version 1.31(yuooc7f). This prerequisite does not apply to IMM version 1.31 or later.
IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT apply the firmware update (yuoo91e, v1.24) ========= if you are using AEM functions in x3620M3 or x3630M3. The v1.24 firmware will disable the power capping functionality in those two systems. Please remain on the current IMM version or update the firmware to v1.25 or newer. Users not using AEM functions can still update to v1.24.
IMPORTANT: Read before using the MAX5 ========== This Technical Update supplements the documentation that comes with the IBM MAX5 for System x. Keep this document with your other MAX5 documentation. Before you attach the MAX5 to the server and try to use it, you must update the server firmware with the latest level of firmware or code. If you attach and try to use the MAX5 without updating the server firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might not power on. For special instructions to follow before you attach the MAX5 to the server, go to http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5085756.
IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and follow the instructions.
IMPORTANT: If you are at IMM firmware versions prior to 1.12 (yuoo67c) and ========== updating IMM firmware in Microsoft Windows, when you update IMM to versions between 1.14 (YUOO73M) and 1.30 (YUOOC7E), it will take up to 10 minutes additional wait time; when you update IMM to version 1.30 (YUOOC7E) or later, it will take up to 20 minutes additional wait time. This is due to the iflash tool checking the IMM before flashing. During this time the flashing process may appear hung or unresponsive. The flashing will then complete and there is no functional impact.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM firmware level is 1.14 or later ========== before you update the uEFI, FPGA, or DSA Preboot firmware. The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM followed by UEFI followed by FPGA followed by DSA Preboot.
IMPORTANT: A firmware change was made in YUOO57H (v1.10) that enforces the ========= requirement for login accounts on the IMM to have passwords that contain both alpha and numeric characters. If you are updating the IMM firmware from YUOO56K (v1.09) or earlier, to YUOO57H (v1.10) or newer, prior to updating the firmware, please ensure that the IMM user account passwords contain both alpha and numeric characters. If the firmware is updated and the passwords do not contain both alpha and numeric characters, you may need to reset the IMM to its default settings using the menus in the UEFI F1 set up display.
IMPORTANT: When updating the IMM firmware from a version earlier than ========= version 1.05 (build YUOO32F) to version 1.05 or newer, the Remote Alert Recipient Email Addresses and the Daylight Saving Time setting will revert to the default setting. Users that utilize these settings will need to set them again after the update.
IMPORTANT: When updating IMM, uEFI, pDSA, FPGA via any method, ========== please follow firmware update best practice document (http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand= 5000020&lndocid=MIGR-5082923) for suggested update sequence and prerequisite.
IMPORTANT: Due to an Intel errata, if your server is running a 32-bit Linux ========== Operating System, C-states may need to be disabled while updating uEFI, IMM, or DSA Preboot through the Linux command line interface. See RETAIN TIP H195678 for more information. Updates performed through the AMM, Bootable Media Creator, or the IMM web or CLI interfaces do not have this requirement.
IMPORTANT: Updated firmware version numbers might not be visible in SMBIOS ========== tables until after the server is rebooted.
IMPORTANT: After downgrading IMM firmware from version 1.22 ========== to an earlier version, the user needs to reset the IMM to factory default before normal operation.

Adapters Supported: IBM ServeRAID BR10i SAS Controller (44E8689)
NOTE TO SERVICE - Reference RETAIN #N/A
NOTE: This change history is common between several of the IBM and LSI Basic or Integrated RAID SAS controllers for non-BOFM enabled, uEFI systems. Not all levels were released for all controllers.
BSD Fixes - Removed the "SAS/SATA missing" warning message when SAS and SATA arrays are present on the same controller. Firmware Fixes - Addressed issue where 6Gb SATA drives will only negotiate at 1.5Gb/s instead of 3Gb/s. - Fixed issue where SAS/SATA mixing errors will occur when the controller is setup to allow mixing of devices. - Fixed issue with large topology of SATA drives where media errors on a single drive will cause one phy to hang after IOs to other drives start to timeout. - Fixed discovery Error 0x2 in maximum topology with SATA devices, - Addressed issue where Credit would be stuck at zero until controller resets resulting in a phy becoming hung and IO failing. Only occurs with very high IO.
Fixes: - Addressed issue with SATA devices where the drive could go missing for several minutes. - Fixed issue where incorrect release of scatter gather list could cause issues with pending IO to missing devices. - Addressed issue where IOs to a host with a bad drive could fail.
Fixes: - Fixed issue where Target mode responds with incorrect WWID after ports are swapped. - Fixed issue with Incorrect/Unexpected discovery errors on RAID storage enclosures. - Fixed issue where device added events are not sent to the host on RAID storage enclosures. - Fixed issue where it is possible for a Incorrect/Duplicate Device handle to get assigned to a target that is a SSP Initiator. - Fixed problem of the boot order selection not being saved
Fixes: - Changed BIOS text to state an IS Volume creation can be 1 to 10 drives. - Fixed issue with 2TB and above drives where SAS MPT BIOS CU reports wrong array size. - Addressed an issue that will maintain Target IDs for attached devices to an enclosure if the enclosure is removed for a short time.

Adapters Supported: IBM 3Gb SAS HBA v2 (44E8700)
NOTE TO SERVICE - Reference RETAIN #N/A
NOTE: This change history is common between several of the IBM and LSI Basic or Integrated RAID SAS controllers for non-BOFM enabled, uEFI systems. Not all levels were released for all controllers.
BIOS Fixes: - Fixed an issue where the controller was hanging during initialization when an adapter was hung in reset with insufficient information to reset itself. - Fixed an issue where the SAS MPT BIOS CU reports wrong array size.
BIOS Fixes - Removed the "SAS/SATA missing" warning message when SAS and SATA arrays are present on the same controller.
Firmware Fix - Addressed issue where 6Gb SATA drives will only negotiate at 1.5Gb/s instead of 3Gb/s. - Fixed issue where SAS/SATA mixing errors will occur when the controller is setup to allow mixing of devices. - Fixed issue with large topology of SATA drives where media errors on a single drive will cause one phy to hang after IOs to other drives start to timeout. - Fixed discovery Error 0x2 in maximum topology with SATA devices, - Addressed issue where Credit would be stuck at zero until controller resets resulting in a phy becoming hung and IO failing. Only occurs with very high IO.
Fixes: - Addressed issue with SATA devices where the drive could go missing for several minutes. - Fixed issue where incorrect release of scatter gather list could cause issues with pending IO to missing devices. - Addressed issue where IOs to a host with a bad drive could fail.
Fixes: - Fixed issue where Target mode responds with incorrect WWID after ports are swapped. - Fixed issue with Incorrect/Unexpected discovery errors on RAID storage enclosures. - Fixed issue where device added events are not sent to the host on RAID storage enclosures. - Fixed issue where it is possible for a Incorrect/Duplicate Device handle to get assigned to a target that is a SSP Initiator. - Fixed problem of the boot order selection not being saved
Fixes: - Changed BIOS text to state an IS Volume creation can be 1 to 10 drives. - Fixed issue with 2TB and above drives where SAS MPT BIOS CU reports wrong array size. - Addressed an issue that will maintain Target IDs for attached devices to an enclosure if the enclosure is removed for a short time.
Fixes: - Fixed an issue where Solid State Drives (SSDs) were not seen after a link reset. - Fixed an issue where direct attached SATA drives were not reported missing after they were removed. This could result in degraded or failed volumes being reported as healthy.
