NOTE TO SERVICE - Reference RETAIN #N/A
Version 2.00.45.00 - Suggested ------------------ Ehancement(s): - Add support for ServeRAID H1110 SAS/SATA Controller for IBM System x - Add conversion of sense data descriptor format to fixed format, so drives 2.1TB in size and greater can return descriptor format sense data. For these drives to work properly under Windows, the miniport needs to convert the descriptor format sense data to fixed format before returning the sense data up the stack.
Fixes: - Add check for sense data type (fixed vs. descriptor) in CheckSmartInfo where large physical drives 2TB in size and greater use the descriptor format for sense data in order to pass back 64-bit LBA addresses. Most drives use the fixed format sense data, is the only format the upper layers of the Windows stack supports

*******Currently known issues and limitations with Broadcom NetXtreme drivers and devices. ********
1. BASP (the Broadcom Advanced Server Program) will appear to be bound to all adapters in the system once loaded. This binding is normal and is used only to determine compatibility with BASP. The binding is not active, as indicated by the gray background of the selection box. This pre-binding will not interfere with bindings to other software protocols.
2. The NetXtreme II drivers have two parts, the VBD driver and the NDIS Client driver. This combination of drivers can be used for WinPE installations as long as the WinPE image is built with the /PnP option. WinPE images that are booted with the -miniNT option will only load the NDIS driver so NetXtreme II network devices will not be functional in this environment. Use the -winpe option instead of the -minint option to boot WinPE when using NetXtreme II devices or use the special RIS driver contained in the distribution package in the NX2_RIS_Driver directory of the unpacked files.
3. Specifying network settings for NetXtreme II devices using the Microsoft unattended answer file does not work using the PCI Bus/Device/Function designation to specify adapters. This is due to the NDIS personality of the NetXtreme II device being a virtual device which means it does not have a physical Bus/Device/Function address. MAC address designation does work and may be used in conjunction with Bus/Device/Function for a complete solution. A program called netset.exe from Microsoft, available in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit, can also be used to apply network settings after the unattended install. Netset.exe uses the answer file to apply the network settings specified to the adapters in the system. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 268781 for more information on netset.exe.
4. The first time diagnostics are run in a Windows environment on NetXtreme II devices, the diagnostic driver must be installed. Windows will either automatically install the driver, in which case, no action is required by the user, or Windows will ask to be directed to the INF file for the diagnostic driver. If you are prompted to install the driver, please direct the Windows dialog to search for the driver in the directory where the Broadcom driver package was unzipped. You may also search your hard drive for the file “bxdiag.inf.”
5. When loading drivers through the PNP (Plug and Play) method, users can occasionally end up loading the RIS drivers accidentally. Generally this occurs when a user is asked to point to the proper driver for the device, and the user selects the folder containing the RIS drivers as the driver for the device. This can result in network connections that fail to communicate across the network, as the NDIS driver will fail to bind to the devices. The most obvious way to identify the problem scenario is to open BACS and look at the network adapters displayed. Adapters that have the RIS drivers installed will be grayed out. Observing the driver loaded for the System Device portion of the Broadcom NetXtreme II devices will show that the RIS driver is loaded. Additionally, attempts to load the drivers using the installer will result in NDIS drivers displaying a yellow bang, as they’re not able to bind to the VBD driver. The easiest way to correct the problem is to run add/remove programs on all installed Broadcom devices, and then re-run the installer.
6. Windows Pre-installation Environment (WinPE for short) does not contain native support for 5708, 5709, 5716, 57710 and 57711 devices on operating systems prior to Windows Server 2008 R2. In order to “inject” driver support into Windows PE, refer to the steps provided by Microsoft at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923834/en-us. Broadcom 5708 Network Controller support is available as a native driver package in the Windows Server 2008 OS.
7. Network Teaming limitation with iSCSI offload: When iSCSI offload is enabled on Broadcom NetXtreme II NIC's or LOM's, only SLB teaming mode is supported. In order to create other teaming modes like 802.3ad and FEC/GEC, you will need to disable iSCSI offload. You can disable the iSCSI offload by a. launching the Broadcom Advanced Control Suite 3 (BACS 3). b. select the adapter you want to add to the team c. click the configurations tab, extend resource reservations. d. Uncheck iSCSI resource.
8. When iSCSI devices are installed on Windows Server 2003 or Server 2008, they will have the same friendlyname. View devices "by connections" in BACS3 on for managing iSCSI devices.
9. Restoring the team configuration with static IPv6 addresses may fail. Use either DHCP addresses for team configuration, or restore the team and re-apply the IP address manually if this issue is encountered.
10. When working in BACS while being logged into W2K3 x86 with a non-administrator account, the same icon that is used for a non-teamed adapter is being displayed for a teamed adapter. This is due to the fact the non-admin account cannot query the driver due to insufficient privileges.
11. Windows Server 2008 R2 is expected to support the ability to utilize the TCP Offload Engine (TOE) on child partitions for supported Guest operating systems. However, the stack supporting this feature was not fully matured upon the completion of this Windows drivers release. As a result, we do not recommend enabling this capability with these drivers until an update to resolve these issues are released. This is now understood to be a third-party issue.
12. After upgrading to this version of the software in W2K8 we have noticed that during a team restore in BACS3 that not all of the IPv4 addresses for VLANS are restored properly. This may require that the team be recreated and saved.
13. Remote install of Windows Server 2008 R2 over non-offload path (MSFT stack) with new Broadcom adapters, e.g. 57711, which are not supported by the inbox driver will fail. The problem is due to a conflict between the inbox (boot.wim) driver not able to support the new adapters. Although the installer provides a newer driver externally during the installation, the OS reverts back to the inbox. Please refer to the workaround provided through the following link:http://attachments.wetpaintserv.us/JA9hJcVpHrEi11mJ19vYVg%3D%3D23856.
Alternatively, Microsoft’s proposed solution is to build a custom install DVD by extracting the boot.wim and overwrite the .INF and .SYS files with Broadcom’s newer driver set. Please read Microsoft’s WAIK documentation for instruction process.
Note: Remote install of Windows Server 2008 R2 over Broadcom iSCSI Offload path does not have an issue.
14. Flow control statistics (MAC Sent X-ON, MAC Sent X-OFF and MAC Rx w/ no Pause Command) are reported incorrectly within BACS for 57710 based adapters. There is no functional impact and device is working as expected.
15. Receive Side Scaling (RSS) on TCP offloaded connections require a minimum of 8 gigabytes of RAM and only works for the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2. This feature is not supported in Windows Server 2003 due to a limitation in this operating system. RSS on non-offloaded connections, however, is supported for Windows 2003 SP2 and later.
16. WoL with NPar: When using Wake on LAN (WoL) with NIC Partitioning, all of the devices that comprise a port must be shut down to cause the WoL configuration to be written to the controller during operating system shutdown. If only a single function is shut down, the WoL configuration might not be written to the controller, and the controller might not wake.
17. Editing BASP teams: There is a known problem where editing a BASP team in BACS can sometimes cause a failover to occur on another team. This is currently believed to be a Microsoft issue, and Broadcom is pursuing a fix or workaround.
18. NC-SI with IOMMU: There is a known problem using NC-SI with IOMMU enabled, that can cause link down/up under stress conditions. If this occurs, disabled IOMMU in the BIOS.

IBM ServeRAID BR10il SAS/SATA Controller v2 BIOS and Firmware Update BIOS Version 6.30.02.00, Firmware Version 1.30.10.00 and BSD Version 3.16.00.06
Adapters Supported: IBM ServeRAID BR10il SAS/SATA Controller v2 (49Y4731)
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.
BDD 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, after running heavy I/O to NCQ enabled SATA drives, the controller may log false data underruns for read or write I/Os. The PHY on which the I/Os were reported as underrun may eventually lock up.
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.
Fixes: - Fixed an issue introduced by new functionality in package 2.50. The issue would cause a dual attached device to be hidden from both the direct connection and the expander connection. - Changed the behavior during drive quiescing/un-quiescing to prevent the drive metadata from being unnecessarily updated. - Fixed an issue where drives might go offline during a firmware update, due to I/O timeouts caused by the length of time needed to update the firmware. - Fixed an issue where volumes can become inactive due to the metadata on the drives getting out of synch with NVSRAM.
Fixes: - Fixed an issue where, on certain drives, it was not possible to create a RAID 0. - Fixed an issue which could cause drive ID0 to go offline. - Fixed an issue with SSD hot spares being reported as Orphaned. - Fixed an issue where hot spares could not be created when the first physical disk of a roaming IME volume is missing. - Fixed a memory leak which could occur in verification of hot spare. - Fixed several issues involving creating a volume or hot spare immediately after deleting a volume or hot spare. - Fixed various issues with hot spare reporting. - Fixed an issue where, in a multi-path environment under heavy I/O, an open timeout can cause Linux file systems to become read-only. - Fixed an issue where drives may go offline during a firmware flash under Windows. - Fixed an issue that caused a 0x7600 fault while running heavy I/O to expander attached disks. - Fixed an issue where, when a driver at a certain volume ID is roamed, the volume ID would change on the next reboot. - Fixed an issue which caused a 0x266D fault on reinsertion of a hotspare. - Fixed an issue where a volume cannot be deleted due to foreign metadata from a new drive. - Fixed an issue where a 0x8055 fault could occur upon insertion of drives with deleted metadata. - Fixed a rare issue where drives could go missing under a heavy load. - Fixed an issue where a 0x800F fault may be seen at startup on large topologies. - Fixed an issue that could cause a 0x0B83 fault when a SATA drive failed to initialize. - Fixed an issue where the LED of a critical drive would revert to the pattern for an optimal drive before the drive was truly optimal again. - Fixed an issue where a resync would resume, rather than restart, when a primary drive was removed and re-inserted. - Fixed an issue that could result in 0x6001 faults while running I/O. - Removed some extraneous error messages, which were triggered by reboots or firmware flashes, from the firmware log. - Fixed an issue which cause a 0x266D fault during volume creation. - Fixed an issue which could cause the operating system's file system to become read only in a multi-path environment.
Functionality: - Initial release for: IBM 3Gb SAS HBA v2 - Added support for EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) based systems. - Enhanced support for SSDs (Solid State Drives). - Implemented support for single drive RAID 0. - Added a new volume status 'Sync Pending' for a volume that could be resynching, but is waiting for the first volume to complete resync. - Added ability to remove an orphaned hot spare when its associated, missing, volume is deleted. - Implemented some LED blink pattern changes to account for new hardware. - Added the ability to enable/disable data scrubbing on SSDs. - Enabled functionality to update drive firmware on disks in a degraded volume (the update must be done via the IBM Online SAS/SATA HDD Update Program, which must also contain a fix to enable this function).
Fixes: - Fixed an issue where, with dual solid state disks (SSD) installed, hard drive 0 goes defunct or disappears or a RAID 1 mirror becomes degraded. - Fixed an issue which slightly degraded performance in a Large Drive Count (LDC) configuration. - Fixed an issue where SATA drives may fail when alternate paths are removed and reinserted in a multipath configuration. - Fixed a condition which caused a 0x1904/0x1903 fault when issuing a TARGET RESET to certain SATA drives. - Fixed an issue where a 0x0800 fault occurs when an inactive or non-optimal volume is deleted. - Changed a resource allocation so that topology and other discovery related events aren't affected when other resources are heavily stressed. - Fixed an issue where, if a volume is removed, then reinserted, into a SAS topology, the volume becomes inaccessible. - Fixed an issue where discovery appears to hang due to multiple Expander Removed events sent for a single expander. - Fixed an which causes an OS not to boot if one of the hard disks in the boot volume is removed. An error similar to "Adapter LSI RAID 0/1 SAS 4P (0) was 1: Disk (0) missing after reboot". - Fixed an issue where continuous 'device added' events would be sent during discovery when a controller is attached to a topology with more end devices than are supported. - Fixed an issue that could cause I/O timeouts or 0x0900/0x1600 faults with SATA drives under heavy I/O load during any memory deallocation. - Fixed an issue where multiple WRITE BUFFER commands may cause a 0x4202 fault. - Fixed an issue where a 0x1904/0x1903 fault may be seen when a duplicate I/O results in a double completion. - Prevented task management timeouts which occurred when the SATA engine was involved with multiple error handling. - Fixed an issue that could cause the Initiator Command queue to become corrupt, resulting in a 0x6001 fault. - Fixed an issue where some error information was lost during Record Not Found media errors. - Fixed an issue with the reporting/retrieval of some LDC statistics. - Fixed an issue which may cause firmware initialization failure when many (more than 50) SATA targets are attached. - Fixed an issue which, in rare cases, could cause a 0x266D fault. - Fixed an issue which could cause a 0x1904 fault when issuing task management requests during heavy IO. - Fixed an issue that caused a break of the MPI spec in a scenario where an end device fails SATA initialization or an expander is out of routing table entries. - Fixed an issue where a virtual PHY is counted multiple times, resulting in the same Bus/Target ID being assigned to two different devices. - Fixed a stack overflow issue which could result as a 0x0900 fault or a fault code 11h during system initialization. - Enabled modification of Write Cache settings for RAID 0 volumes. - Fixed an issue which caused an "Insufficient Resources" response for an MPT RAID Passthrough command. - Fixed an issue where SMP requests are sent through the SMP passthrough, a 0x4203 fault occurs. - Fixed an issue where drives with SMART errors are not detected as volume members. - Prevented a false "Device Not Responding" event during discovery under heavy I/O. - Fixed an issue where an Activity LED would erroneously blink when a raw hard drive was added to a previously occupied slot. - Fixed an issue which could result in media errors at 51% rebuild point when a hot spare is present. - Fixed I/O timeouts and/or invalid SAS Expander Page #0 content which could occur if a bad link caused rapid linkup/linkdown states on a drive. - Fixed an issue which could result in a 0xBADn fault (where n is the PHY number) after a HARD RESET primitive is received. - Corrected an issue where the swap out status of a drive is always set to 0, rather than to a meaningful value. - Fixed an issue where, if a card enters fail-safe mode due to unreadable or unreachable settings, a fault 0x0700 was seen and the card would never enter READY state. - Fixed an issue where a hotspare which was created through the BIOS would not be correctly reported until after a reboot. - Corrected an issue where media errors would cause unnecessary device resets. - Fixed an issue where, if a disk is hot swapped with an incompatible disk, the new disk would incorrectly be assigned the volume ID as its target ID. - Prevented multiple paths from being returned unless multipathing is specifically enabled in NVDATA. - Fixed an issue which results in a 0x6014 fault during discovery in complex topologies. - Corrected an issue where pulling a drive in a volume would caused a 0x801F fault. - Fixed an issue where a 0x6002 fault is encountered in LDC topologies. - Ensured the MPI_EVENT_IR2_RC_PD_REMOVED event is properly reported when a foreign disk is removed. - Fixed an issue which could result in a 0x0800 fault under heavy I/O. - Corrected an issue which results in 0x4E01 fault when processing multiple simultaneous NCQ errors. - Fixed an issue where, if four or more drives are configured as any mix of volumes or hot spares, when you delete the volume, the associated hot spare(s) are correctly deleted, but the physical drives don't reappear in BIOS until after a reboot. - Fixed an issue where, if the same LUN is issued two active resets, the second reset could be completed before the first reset. - Fixed an issue which causes SATA initialization failure if a WRITE command is processed concurrently with a RESET command. The volume would then change to a FAILED state. - Ensured that metadata size is automatically detected by the firmware. - Fixed an issue where the BIOS stops responding if a rebuilding hard drive is removed. - Fixed an issue where 0x7600 faults were encountered when running heavy I/O to cascaded x12 expanders. - Fixed an issue where, with a 1078 chip, a 0x266D fault may occur when hot spare is reinserted. - Corrected an issue where SAS or SATA drives may be reported missing after a target reset to an end device. - Fixed an issue where, if the drive at the volume ID slot is roamed, the volume ID might change on the next reboot. - Fixed an issue where there is a very low probability of experiencing data corruption while under very heavy I/O stress. - Reworked the firmware download function into an asynchronous operation to allow I/O to continue during the process. - Fixed an issue where a direct-attached SEP device will not be assigned an ID or handle which will prevent communication with the device. - Fixed an issue where a direct-attached SEP will be incorrectly assigned TargetID 0.
Functionality: - Implemented various changes to the LED blink pattern for SGPIO. - New functionality to ensure that, if a dual-ported device is connected via both direct and expander attached connections, only the direct connection is hidden when the HideNonzeroAttachedPhyIdentifiers bit is set.

Description
ER76448
Current ISP firmware supports maximum frame sizes of 512, 1024, and 2048 in the received PLOGI or PLOGI-ACC. This change provides an option to disable this restriction by setting bit 6 of Firmware Options 2 through Set Additional Firmware Options Mailbox Command (038h). Note that this option bypasses the Maximum Transmit Data Frame Size set by the Set Transmit Parameters Mailbox Command (019h).

Option to Disable Automatic FDISC
Currently, the firmware automatically performs FDISC for enabled virtual ports (VPs) upon receiving an FLOGI_ACC. This procedure does not mesh well with driver architectures, which typically control the FDISCs. A new option bit allows you to suppress the automatic FDISCs. This option bit is available in both the ISP25xx and ISP81xx firmware. Older firmware ignores this option bit.
Functional Description
The Disable FDISC bit (multi-ID initialize firmware control block, Global VP Options field, bit 4) disables the automatic FDISCs.
If this bit is set, any VPs enabled in the multi-ID initialize firmware control block remain enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state. The driver must issue a Modify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC after it receives the report ID acquisition (RIDA) for VP0.
When Disable FDISC is set, no FDISC is transmitted for the enabled VPs on any event, which results in a FLOGI. The driver should issue a Modify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC for a specific VP (after receiving the RIDA for VP0). The driver must instruct the firmware to transmit an FDISC for all enabled VPs. After all the FDISC is completed, the firmware state changes to ready. In addition, a Port Database Changed AEN (8014h), with the Outgoing Mailbox 1 register set to FFFFh and Outgoing Mailbox 2 register set to 6h, is generated and passed to the driver. If the driver does not transmit FDISC for a VP, the driver must disable that specific VP using Virtual Port Control IOCB (Entry Type field 30h). This step is needed because a VP is enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state, which can prevent the firmware state from changing to ready, and prevent generation of the Port Database AEN as previously stated.
The option applies only to fabric point-to-point topology and NPIV environments.
ER74764
Added option to disable PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit. To disable the PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit (PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit is set by default), set bit 6 of the additional firmware option 3 of the Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox Commands). This option has to be set prior to Initialize Firmware mailbox command (60h or 48h).

ER69606
81xx/25xx MIDQ only. Provide capability in Queue Management (1Fh) mailbox command to move a queue base address. For details, refer to the Multiple Queue Support for 2500 Series Fibre Channel and 8100 Series Converged Network Adapter Controllers Applications Note.
ER69613
81xx only. Added support for LR Optics. Requires MPI FW 1.39.00 or later with proper configuration files.
ER70311
Added an Additional Firmware Options 3 bit to discard any frames received out of order unless the Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 6 (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set to 1.
Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox Command interface:
Bit 15 Do not transfer received out of order data for an exchange to host memory (except during SRR recovery).
• Replace bit_15 description with:
Bit 15 (Do not transfer received out of order data for an exchange to host memory). When this bit is set to 1, the ISP firmware does not transfer received out-of-order data for an exchange to host memory, except during SRR recovery. A frame is considered "out-of-order" after a previously-received frame is dropped due to an error, as well as a true out-of-order frame receipt condition.
NOTE: Bit 15 is ignored when Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 6 (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set to 1.
ER71132
24xx/25xx only. Bit 8 of State Flags field in Status IOCB Type has been changed from Reserved to "Unable to send OPN to Destination." This bit is set when the destination device sends an immediate CLS in response to an OPN from ISP.

ER71877
81xx only. Added an Additional Firmware Options 2 bit to post all Asynchronous IOCBs to the ATIO queue when target mode is enabled.
Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) mailbox command interface:
Bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue). When this bit is set to 1, the firmware posts all asynchronous IOCBs (PUREX, ABTS Received, and Report ID Acquisition) to the ATIO queue when target operation is enabled. Additionally, if a login-affecting ELS command (PLOGI, PRLI, PRLO, LOGO, ADISC, PDISC, or TPRLO) is passed up to the target driver, an Immediate Notify IOCB with Status Code 46h, Login affecting ELS command received, shall not be sent.
Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO Queue) is used to request the firmware place an Ethernet Header Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before each PUREX and ABTS Received IOCB. Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 27 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue) shall be ignored.
When bit 11 is set to 0, the firmware posts asynchronous IOCBs to queues specified in the ISP81xx firmware specification.
Changes to Initialize Firmware, Firmware Options 3:
• Bit 27 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue). When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, this bit is ignored. • Bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO Queue). When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, and this bit is set, the firmware places an Ethernet Header Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before each PUREX and ABTS Received IOCB.

Customer-specific change.
ER60321
2532 only. Added the ability to specify a maximum Fibre Channel Link speed to be negotiated. This feature is enabled by bit 12 of the Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Option 3.
