2- ) NETXTREME II Release Text

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

Broadcom (R) Corporation
Broadcom Ethernet Software Kit
RELEASE T7.10.4.1 Gold
(Thursday, March 6, 2014)

RELEASE NOTES

Summary
=======
- Gold Release for the Broadcom T7.10 project.

Highlights
==========
- CQ72462 - Potential Windows bugcheck due to BASP spinlock deadlock.
- CQ72483 - System hangs or continually reboots with SoleRunner using T7.8 UEFI firmware.
- CQ68020 - Add support for FCoE boot over UEFI.
- CQ71757 - Only mark in the consumed table entries for those items that are enabled
- CQ71758 - Put WWN pushed by IFM to the actual VF where FCoE is enabled.
- CQ71189 - Add new command to ediag to support external I2C NVRAM

New UEFI SAN boot Known Limitations
===================================
UEFI SAN boot is only supported on the root ports of the device.
In pNIC mode this is not a problem but in vNIC2 mode that means the FCoE offload function under the OS HAS to be enabled on the PF0 or 1 vNIC port otherwise the hand off to the kernel will not happen correctly.
UEFI FCoE BFS is in test for full support with the following operating systems:
Windows 2008 R2 (SP1) x64
Windows 2012 x64
Windows 2012 R2 x64
SLES 11 SP2
SLES 11 SP3
UEFI FCoE BFS is in test for support with major caveats on the following operating systems:
RHEL6.4 (boot time failover will not work)
RHEL6.5 (boot time failover will not work)
In MPIO configurations, RHEL6.[345] systems cannot tolerate failed paths during system boot.
One specific interface must be online for boot to proceed (namely the last one specified for FCoE on the kernel command line).
For example, the kernel command line dictates FCoE on eth1,eth2,eth3,eth4. If eth4 is down, the system will fail to boot.
This issue is being addressed for future RHEL releases. Once the system is fully booted, any single path can go down, and multipathed will sustain failover.
The following operating systems do not presently support UEFI FCoE BFS, efforts are underway to introduce this support in future versions of ESX.
ESXi 5.0 (all updates)
ESXi 5.1 U2 and below
ESXi 5.5 GA
UEFI FCoE BFS is not supported with any 32 bit OS

Caveats
=======
- The following enhancement requests are not supported in this SW kit:
-> CQ68018: Default to VLAN 1002 if VLAN discovery fails
- FoD : FoD ready, but no FoD functions are supported at this time
- Tundra : Limited to 2x10G mode operation. No 4x10G, nor 2x20G operation
- VMware SRIOV support is limited to ESX 5.5 and above, and not supported on ESX 5.1 or prior.
- HyperV : No Windows2012-inbox driver support in VM/Guest-OS
- Storage support in T7.10 limited to 'Tundra'.
- CQ70995 - Agentless Phase 1 Support "(Tundra only)"
Included here on the T7.10 Gold Kit, but now shown by IBM testing to be non-functional. Will be addressed in T7.10A

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
- There is no FCoE support for 10GbaseT designs

Known problems:
===============
- CQ71356: Intermittent PCI-e link (GEN3) lock failure on repeated reboots
- CQ71060: BACS unable to change resource reservations on NPar functions.

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.

********* 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 friendly
name. View devices "by connections" in bacs4 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
bacs4 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.

19. Legacy iSCSI boot: IBM does not support legacy iSCSI boot for Windows 2012 and beyond. This is due to Windows
limiting support to UEFI boot only. Support for legacy iSCSI boot remains in the Broadcom controllers, to allow
support of operating systems where this is allowed.

20. Legacy FCoE boot: IBM does not support legacy FCoE boot to any operating system.
As of T7.8, this applies only to the Tundra controller in a Flex chassis, but this limitation of support will be
carried forward. The only FCoE boot configuration that is allowed and supported is UEFI FCoE boot.
