NOTE TO SERVICE - Reference RETAIN #N/A


Version 2.00.60.00 - Suggested
------------------
Enhancements(s):\
- Added support for 8MB+ IO's
- Modified sense data processing code to check for an ATA Passthrough command
(either 12 or 16 byte).

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

* PcieLinkCap/Stat to HbaDeviceChipProperty.
* Flash layout regions for 4Gb and returned flash layout table from
flash if it is valid.
* Three Alternate Boot Devices and OOFR (out-of-order
frame receive).
* Removed QL2XHAI2: IHVs are required to use Host Bus Adapter API
provided by Microsoft.
* Preserved BIOS defaults when updating multi-boot image whose BIOS
locations can be anywhere in the image.
* Fixed checksum calculation in QLSDM when two-bios image
is flashed.

[ER50975 fixed]
* Handled the case where the GNNFT command was failing due to
incorrectly calculated the maximum data response length.
* Setting the alternate WWN and enabling it in the NVRAM did not
propagate through to the Host Bus Adapter. Reading the NVRAM and
reinitializing the Host Bus Adapter will handle this case.

Firmware (Embedded in Driver)
-----------------------------

The following lists show the changes and bug fixes to the firmware
that is embedded in the drivers for the 4Gb Fibre Channel Adapters
and 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapters from versions 4.03.01 to 5.04.04.

From Version 5.04.02 to 5.04.04

Changes
-------
* 2500 Series. Ensured that correct slot-specific SerDes settings
will be used for specific mezzanine cards. [ER78047]

Bug Fixes
---------
None

From Version 5.04.01 to 5.04.02

Changes
-------
* Current Fibre Channel Adapter 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). [ER76448]

Bug Fixes
---------
None

From Version 5.04.00 to 5.04.01

Changes
-------
* 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. [ER74448]

* 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).
[ER74764]

Bug Fixes
---------
* Customer-specific fix. [ER74764]

* 24xx/25xx MID. Fixes potential drops of PRLI request or firmware
incorrectly assigning multiple N_Port Handles for same Port_id.
[ER73958]

From Version 5.03.00 to 5.04.00

Changes
-------
* Customer-specific changes.[ER69516, ER70666, ER71711, ER71936,
ER69589, ER70279, ER69620, ER71031, ER72037, ER73006]

* 81xx only. Added Additional Firmware Options 2, bit 9 to improve
NIC bandwidth when NIC and FCoE receive traffic are running
concurrently. [ER69565]

* 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. [ER69606]

* 81xx only. Added support for LR Optics. Requires MPI FW 1.39.00
or later with proper configuration files. [ER69613]

* 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:
- Add to Additional Firmware Option 3 Bits (Incoming mailbox 3
register) Table: 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.
[ER70311]

* 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. [ER71132]

* Add option to disable the firmware automatic port login (PLOGI)
to the simple name server (SNS). To enable this feature, set
Bit 15 of Additional Firmware Options 2 when issuing Set
Additional Firmware Options Mailbox Command 0038h. [ER71742]

* 24xx SB2 only. Return the lower 16-bit of current RBC count in
Receive IU and Add Buffer IOCBs. This extends the scope of
ER68875 to include 24xx.
- For IOCB type 0x4D, the lower 16-bit of the counter is stored
at offset 0x3E to 0x3F.
- For IOCB type 0x4C, the lower 16-bit is stored at offset 0x1C
to 0x1D.
[ER71764]

* 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:
- Add to Additional Firmware Option 2 Bits (Incoming mailbox 2
register) Table:
Bit 11 Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue.
- Replace bit 11 description with:
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.
[ER71877]

* MID only. Send LOGO if an FDISC is rejected with error/explanation
code 03/0D. After LOGO ACC is received, the firmware retries the
FDISC. [ER72460]

Disclaimer
==========
- FCoE: Broadcom only officially supports the FCoE and DCB feature set on adapters that are licensed for FCoE,
and for which EMC e-Labs certification is already complete or in progress.
Broadcom will *not* provide field support for unqualified platforms.
Please refer to the EMC e-Labs certification matrix for existing support matrix postings,
or contact your Broadcom liaison to inquire about configurations currently in the qualification
queue for eventual support. Exercising either FCoE or DCB on an unsupported platform may lead to unpredictable results.

Caveats
=======
- E1 (57710/57711) devices are no longer supported by the 7.4 or later PXE. PXE updates on E1 devices must use 7.2.x based PXE or earlier (provided with this kit).
- Windows 2003 support was discontinued as of the T7.0 program.
- preventing driver install in W2K3 environment
- preventing enumeration of iSCSI HBA in W2K3 environment
- F6 kit is removed (no iSCSI boot over L4 path into W2K3)


Prerequisite
============
- For FCoE evaluation, 57712A1+8727C NIC adapters with valid FCoE license
- For FCoE, NVRAM flag 105 must be enabled for DCB/DCBX
- DCB/DCBX is required for FCoE
- In order to enable FCoE, only the new 'MFW' firmware image can be used. Please use the eDiag supplied in this kit
and upgrade the legacy boot code (and NCSI) to the new 'MFW' image


Known problems:
===============
CQ64165: WMI folder remains in Broadcom folder after uninstall.
CQ64135: uEFI: Rip 0000000B Unknown - Issue currently being investigated
Currently investigating, popups occurring on x86 platforms during driver installation. Drivers install OK upon click through.

Package NOTES:

(1) When updating drivers via UXSPi, the utility will prompt version
number(s) of drivers loaded on system that are pertinent to the
Operating System being updated. After the utility completes and
drivers are updated, there may be some driver version(s) where the
New Version does not match the Installed Version. This may be because
the adapter corresponding to the driver is not installed. Adapters
must be installed to gain proper version numbers from the utility.
Please disregard version numbers that do not pertain to the adapter(s)
you have installed.

(2) When extracting files from this package, Windows 2008 R2 extract
to floppy may not work. This is due to change in Windows security
settings, and may become a limitation.

- CQ70554: Tundra fails to obtain link to Pollux 1Gb switch.
- CQ70385: iSCSI Initiator parameters not accepted in HII menus. (IBM BIOS problem)



Legacy
======
- E1 (57710/57711) devices are no longer supported by the 7.4 or later PXE. PXE updates on E1 devices must use 7.2.x based PXE or earlier (provided with this kit).
- Windows 2003 support was discontinued as of the T7.0 program.
- preventing driver install in W2K3 environment
- preventing enumeration of iSCSI HBA in W2K3 environment
- F6 kit is removed (no iSCSI boot over L4 path into W2K3)


Prerequisite
============
- FCoE is only supported using MFW
- FCoE and iSCSI are only available in the presence of valid licenses in NVRAM
- DCB/DCBX is required for FCoE. Please set NVRAM flag option #105 via Hii menu or BACS
- There is no FCoE support for 10GbaseT designs


Known problems:
===============



3rd party issues
================
- While performing shut/no shut on the switch port, it was observed that all initiators and targets were logged out from the FCoE database of FCF enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch.
- After switch reboot, sometimes initiator and targets are logged out from the FCoE database of FCF enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch. Switch reboot is required to recover from this state.
- In some cases, the “Application Protocol State Machine Status” for CN4093 switch port shows “Enable Operational” and “Enable Peer” status as “Disabled” for priority 3 resulting in inability to
run the traffic with priority tag of “3”. This seems to be a switch issue which needs further investigation.
- The “Default Port VLAN ID” of the CN4093 switch port connecting to the Broadcom FCoE initiator must be configured as “1” for switch to respond to VLAN Request. When the PVID of the switch port
is configured as any value other than 1 then switch does not respond to the VLAN Request and initiator will not be able to login to the fabric.


Testing Information
===================
- VMWare CMPI is NOT being tested by Broadcom PQA.
- HW:
-> External PHY Firmware versions for 10G Devices
- 8727 : v4.06
- 8073 : v2.09
- Solarflare: v2.00
- This package is provided with Storage at the committed Beta-1 level with very minimal Broadcom testing at this time
- Tested with V7000 Flex storage node, DS3524, IBM XIV, DS8870 storage system and TS3310 Tape Library. Basic operation and light error injection only.
- Topologies tested: IBM CN4093 in NPIV and IBM CN4093 Full Fabric mode were tested. Basic operation and light error injection only
- Operating Systems tested: Windows 2012, ESX 5.1 and 5.5, RHEL6.4 and SLES11 SP3. No other operating systems tested at this time.
- Compute Nodes tested: x240, x220, x440. Light testing only.
- No FCoE boot support provided in this release
- IBM blade BIOS/MP needs to updated to a minimum version B2BE122D/1AOO40E before installing Tundra adapter to prevent system from becoming unresponsive during boot.


Notables
========
- 10G MBA driver release no longer supports RPL protocol. All files with xMMBA.NIC and xMMBA.LOM are removed
- iSCSI Initiator:
[1] when using T6.x driver, there is *only* iSCSI Initiator support for the following Linux OS's:
- RH6.0 and RH5.5
- SLES11-U1
[2] for any OS prior to RH5.4, or SLES11.0 the T5.2 driver set will need to be used.
[3] Linux iSCSI VLAN tag dependent on L2 VLAN tag, must also be on same subnet
[4] Linux iSCSI Path MTU not yet implemented
[5] No routing support for Linux iSCSI. Broadcom still working with open-iscsi community to implement gateway and subnet mask addressing in the code
- Solaris
- The T6.2 based Solaris driver will support both 57711 and 57712.
- The T6.2 based Solaris driver will not support Solaris10 U8, however it will support Solaris10 U9.
- BASP w/ RSS enable can support a maximum of up to 4 processors
- Broadcom does not recommend nor support enabling (manually) TCP Chimney Offload in Guest Operating Systems (GOS)
running in Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2
- The default Flow Control setting in the Linux driver for 5771x 10g Fiber devices is now set to disabled.


Disclaimer
==========
- FCoE: Broadcom only officially supports the FCoE and DCB feature set on adapters that are licensed for FCoE,
and for which EMC e-Labs certification is already complete or in progress.
Broadcom will *not* provide field support for unqualified platforms.
Please refer to the EMC e-Labs certification matrix for existing support matrix postings,
or contact your Broadcom liaison to inquire about configurations currently in the qualification
queue for eventual support. Exercising either FCoE or DCB on an unsupported platform may lead to unpredictable results.




NOTES:

(1) When updating drivers via UXSPi, the utility will prompt version
number(s) of drivers loaded on system that are pertinent to the
Operating System being updated. After the utility completes and
drivers are updated, there may be some driver version(s) where the
New Version does not match the Installed Version. This may be because
the adapter corresponding to the driver is not installed. Adapters
must be installed to gain proper version numbers from the utility.
Please disregard version numbers that do not pertain to the adapter(s)
you have installed.

(2) When extracting files from this package, Windows 2008 R2 extract
to floppy may not work. This is due to change in Windows security
settings, and may become a limitation.


*******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.

Emulex BE2/BE3 Firmware Package
===============================================================================

Firmware version: 4.6.281.21 (supported on IBM System x, BladeCenter and Flex)

Problems Fixed:
- OCe10 VFA CNAs stuck in "Switch Independent Mode"
- Port Identification fails on Port 1 under uEFI menu for PCIe rack VFA

Incremental Interoperability:
- Emulex Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ VFA IIIr for IBM System x
- Emulex Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Embedded VFA IIIr for IBM System x
- IBM Flex System CN4054R 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter
- IBM Ivy Bridge CPU Based Servers

Known Issues:
- After making changes to any options in the sub-menus under 'controller
configuration' in the Emulex UEFI NIC configuration utility and escaping
to the prior menu, there is no prompt to save the changes. Be sure to
select 'Save' before exiting the configuration menu. Applies to some
legacy rack and blade servers.

- Intermittently, when changing the multichannel mode, the system will not
auto-reboot after exiting F1 UEFI setup and will continue through POST.
Manually reboot the server to ensure all changes are applied. Applies to
some legacy rack and blade servers.

- When using a Cisco Nexus 4001i Switch Module, intermittently the 10Gb link
may come up as 1Gb link speed. An internal switch port bounce will typically
establish a 10Gb link. Setting the switch port speed to fixed 10000 will
also allow a guaranteed 10Gb connection. More info available in the Cisco
Nexus 4001i Switch Module firmware release notes.

===============================================================================

Firmware version: 4.6.281.8 (supported on IBM System x, BladeCenter and Flex)

Problems Fixed:

settings. The IBM 10Gb Virtual Fabric Switch has trunking enabled and the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module has ports in "Access" mode. If the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module ports are switched to trunking mode,
the hang no longer occurs.
- When using Config Patterns with virtual MACs the bandwidth settings are
are intermittently reset after some number of server reboots.

Incremental Interoperability:
- IBM Flex System Fabric SI4093 System Interconnect Module
- IBM Flex System EN6131 40Gb Ethernet Switch
- IBM Flex System x222 10Gb Virtual Fabric LOM
- SLES 11.3 on IBM System x and BladeCenter
