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]
* 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]

* MID builds only. Fix CTIO with terminate exchange bit failed with completion status=29h. [ER72571]
* 81xx only. Corrected a problem that caused FDISC not generated by the firmware when Virtual Port Control IOCB (type=30h) is used to enable VP. [ER72921]
* MID only. Correct the cleanup of outstanding ELS requests during VP disable. [ER73048]
* MID only. Resolve RISC pause after cable pull or link event. [ER73090]

Added the following status/ substatus values to Report ID Acquired IOCB:
VP Status Description --------- ----------- 3 SNS Timeout. See byte offsets 23:20 for Sub-status. 4 SNS LS_RJT (Reason/Explanation/Vendor Unique in IOCB byte offsets 23:20). 5 SCR Timeout. See byte offset 23:20 for Sub-status. 6 SCR LS_RJT (Reason/Explanation/Vendor Unique in IOCB byte offsets 23:20).[ER61930]
Bug Fixes --------- * MID only. Process received LOGO from F_Port. The associated Port Database Changed (8014h) asynchronous event will differ from a LOGO received from an N_Port as follows:
* 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. When this bit is set to 1, firmware will negotiate the FC data rate from the given max speed specified by driver in bits 15-13 of the Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Options 3 field to two speeds down to what the SFP allowed. This option can also be set in the Data Rate Mailbox Command (05dh). When incoming mailbox 1 is set to 03h, firmware forces a loss of sync, restarts link initialization, and negotiates the FC data rate from the given max speed specified by driver in incoming mailbox 2 to two speeds down to what the SFP allowed. [ER60321]

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.

*******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.

Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 1Overview This is the release notes for Mellanox WinOF Rev 4.3 VPI drivers. The driver intends to improve performance and functionality of the driver. Therefore, Mellanox strongly recommends updating to its latest driver to achieve optimal performance and additional functionality. 1.1Mellanox WinOF Rev 4.3 New Features • Support for a new ND provider, ND filter • Performance improvement • Embedded firmware in the Mellanox driver. The firmware can be upgraded upon driver installation. •Bug Fixes 1.2WinOF VPI Package Contents The Mellanox WinOF 4.3 for Windows package contains the following components: • Core and ULPs: • IB HCA low-level drivers (mlx4) • IB Access Layer (IBAL) • Ethernet driver (ETH) • IP over InfiniBand (IPoIB) • NetworkDirect (ND) • Utilities: • OpenSM (OSM): InfiniBand Subnet Manager (beta level) • Low level performance tools • vstat - get the card status • IB Diagnostics tools • SW Development Kit (SDK) • Documentation 1.3Supported Operating Systems Versions Supported Operating Systems and Service Packs: • Windows Server 2012 (x64 bit only) • Windows Server 2008 (32 bit, and 64 bit) • Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit) Mellanox Technologies5
--------------------------------------- 6
Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 1.4Supported Network Adapter Cards • Mellanox MLNX_WinOF_4.3__.exe supports the following Mella- nox network adapter cards: • ConnectX®-2/ConnectX®-2 EN /SDR/DDR/QDR • ConnectX®-3/ConnectX®-3 EN /SDR/DDR/QDR/FDR Mellanox recommends upgrading ConnectX®-2 and ConnectX®-3 to the latest General Availability (GA) firmware version. To enable improved functionality while using this WinOF release, it is recommended to upgrade ConnectX®-3 adapter cards to firmware v2.11.0500 or higher. Mellanox Technologies6
--------------------------------------- 7
Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 2Changes and Major New Features 2.1New Features and Changes in Version 4.3 From Version 4.2 Table 1 - Changes and New Features CategoryDescription General Added support for a new provider called MLX4ND, which supports both NDv1 and NDv2 interfaces. Performance The performance tuning works according to the operating systems that are running over it. The keywords added to the registry in NDIS support 6.30 are: • RssMaxProcNumber • NumRSSQueues • RSSProfile The keywords added to the registry In NDIS support 6.20 are: • RssBaseProcNumber • MaxRssProcessors • RssBaseProcGroup The rest of the keywords are added in all versions of NDIS. This change is based on: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ ff570864(v=vs.85).aspx Ethernet RoCE MTU value is no longer set to 1024 by default. All options stay as they are and can only be chosen if they were selected explicitly in the UI/registry. The current default state is as follows: • The value is now derived from the MTU (or MaxFramSize, or Jumbo Packets value) and they are all aliases for the same value). • Value is aligned to 256,512,1024,2048 in a way that it will be rounded down to the near- est power of two of the ETH MTU. InfiniBand Added ibdiagnet utility support Mellanox Technologies7
--------------------------------------- 8
Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 2.2New Features and Changes in Version 4.2 From Version 3.2.0 Table 2 - Changes and New Features CategoryDescription General Modified RSS cores and changed VMQ affinity on the fly Fixed restart issue when there are not enough MSI-X vectors for each machine core Added support for K-GROUPS processors (more than 64 processors support) to allow assignment of MSI-X affinity for multiple processor groups. Set an adequate number of MTTs to map all physical memory Allocated firmware and ICM memory in chunks of non-paged memory instead of using contiguous physical memory. Fixed RSS indirection table mapping building when there are less RX rings than RSS cores. Fixed a bug, preventing standard work with BAR value more than 4GB. Fixed memory leaks Fixed error flows causing a Bluescreen in driver startup\unload Fixed a Bluescreen occurrence upon shutdown due to leak in active resources Changed device names in device manager and their hardware IDs. The changes were made to distinguish between ConnectX®-2 and ConnectX®-3: • for ConnectX-2: MLX4\ConnectX-2_Eth and IBA\ConnectX-2_IPoIB • for ConnectX-3: MLX4\ConnectX-3_Eth and IBA\ConnectX-3_IPoIB Set QoS settings only for ConnectX-3. Changing the hardware ID, forces the OS to install new device and re-build the registry keys. Added an event log to indicate driver failure upon start if there are two HCA burned with the same GUID. Added firmware upgrade support as part of the setup process. The setup burns the new firmware only on Mellanox cards. Firmware burning failure does not prevent the driver’s installation, therefore, it will show a warning. In this case, it is recom- mended to update the firmware manually. Enabled configuration of TxRingNum registry key from the UI Improved the "Port Protocol" dialog Added Registry key documentation to the setup package Performance Optimized code performance Increased send parallelism Mellanox Technologies8
--------------------------------------- 9
Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 Table 2 - Changes and New Features CategoryDescription Memory used in receive flow is now allocated with the same affinity of the han- dling processor for faster access Statistics parameters are now directly read from hardware instead of being calcu- lated by software. Added support for BlueFlame. BlueFlame is now the default working mode for all packets that have a descriptor which fits into a BF register (currently 256 bytes). Use "BlueFlame" registry key to enable\disable this feature. Added support for RSS functionality on available processors numbers. Used to be restricted to start at the first processor. Changed RSS registry defaults to give better out of the box performance Added a performance UI to tune performance under various scenarios Added a tool to tune performance under various scenarios Ethernet Added support for multiple TX rings Added an option to verify that the number of multicast groups used is no higher than the firmware limits Improved performance in virtualization when using VMQ IPoIB Fixed a bug that prevented IBAL applications from working on machines with 2 cards Fixed a bug that caused packet drop on remote node when the first sent packet is not an ARP or a multicast packet Added support for multiple TX rings. The new driver advertises its TSS capability (using multiple TX rings). This feature will not be used when communicating with older version drivers (such as the inbox driver). This way IPv4 communication in a mixed environment that includes the inbox driver should work. IPv6 communica- tion may be problematic in such an environment. Eliminated some race conditions in IPoIB mcast handling Added mcast addresses according to the Windows mcast table in addition to mcast addresses from igmp\mld queries, in order to connect to such mcasts that are not reported by the queries. Removed redundant LID_CHANGE events. This fixes the redundant reconnection of all IPoIB mcasts. Added support for VM migration. When a VM is migrated from one host to another it does not send a new ARP to hosts it already knew when it was sitting on the first host. In order to prevent communication interruption to such hosts, the driver will initiate an ARP to learn them again. Mellanox Technologies9
--------------------------------------- 10
Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 Table 2 - Changes and New Features CategoryDescription Fixed IPoIB VMQ affinity update bugs Fixed IPoIB VMQ parent queue management race during reset Fixed a bug in passing DHCP packets from a Linux VM Fixed bug in RDMA statistics for NDK Removed affinity restriction to group 0 for NDK Added support for the part_man tool. It can create only one additional IPoIB inter- face per port GUID. This feature can be utilized to use different IPoIB interfaces for SMB and Hyper-V. The virtual ports configuration is removed during uninstal Installed ND by default The following tools were added to the setup package: • ibv_asyncwatch.exe • ibv_atomic_bw.exe • ibv_atomic_lat.exe • ibv_devinfo.exe • ibv_rc_pingpong.exe • ibv_rdma_bw.exe • ibv_rdma_lat.exe • ibaddr.exe • ibcacheedit.exe • iblinkinfo.exe • ibqueryerrors.exe • ibsysstat.exe •saquery.exe • smpdump.exe Mellanox Technologies10

Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 3Beta Features Table 3 - Beta Features CategoryDescription OpenSM OpenSM is currently at beta level. We do not recommend using it in deployment setups. If OpenSM is required in your setup, please use a Mellanox managed switch or UFM. WinVerbs WinVerbs is not supported anymore. We recommend installing both of MLX4ND and MLX4ND together. Mellanox Technologies11

Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 5Known Issues Table 4 - WinOf Known Issues CategoryDescriptionWorkaround General The installation does not guarantee that there are no background It is recommended to apps running on the interface, and may cause a BSOD as a result close all the running of a stuck cmd.apps when upgrading the driver. - Mellanox adapter is shown on USB removal menu. When you ask - to remove a USB stick, you are offered to remove the Mellanox adapter too. Some functionality is missing for ConnectX®-2 due to firmware - gaps (CQ to EQ; auto sensing, QoS) On rare occasions, as a result of port configuration change (IB/- ETH) the UI may get stuck for up to a few minutes. This effect does not require any user action. The UI returns to its proper func- tionality after a few minutes. WinOF inbox driver does not support upgrade. When installing - WinOF v4.2 on a Windows 2012 machine, the inbox driver is uninstalled prior to starting the new installation and any previous configurations is lost. The inbox driver will be reinstalled auto- matically when the new driver is uninstalled. In order to get higher performance when using multicast packets, - the user should use different UDP ports. Without separate ports for each stream, WinSock multiplexes every packet to every sub- scriber socket and then filters it out. This is different to Linux which performs no additional filtering, and each socket will see all the packets. The "Packets Received Discarded" and "Packets Received Errors" - counter may display wrong results Firmware upgrade may fail during installation if there was a prior Upgrade the firmware firmware upgrade on the machine without a reboot after it.

Mellanox WinOF VPI Release NotesRev 4.3 Table 4 - WinOf Known Issues CategoryDescriptionWorkaround When VMQ is enabled after reset, the driver loads all the VMQs - that existed before the reset. It is not guaranteed that each VMQ will receive the same QP number it had before the reset. This can cause some delay as a result of resetting before connec- tivity is reestablished. The delay is caused by the time it takes for the ARP table to update after initiating the Gratuitous ARP. When the vSwitch is detached from the ETH\IPoIB device while - the driver is disabled, the device does not reacquire the static IP it had before the attachment of the vSwitch. When the vSwitch is attached to the ETH\IPoIB device while there is no link, it will not receive the device IP when the link is back up. After disabling and enabling a port on a guest, a ping to it may be - renewed after one minute. The ARP requests sent by Windows are less frequent as the time passes. If the guest port was down for a while, it could take time until Windows decides to send another ARP request to it.
