-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added support for a new provider called MLX4ND, which supports both NDv1
and NDv2 interfaces
- Enabled performance tuning running according to the operating systems that
are running over it
- The keywords added to the registry in NDIS support Windows 2012 are:
- RssMaxProcNumber
- NumRSSQueues
- RSSProfile
- The keywords added to the registry In NDIS support Windows 2008 R2 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
- 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).
The value is aligned to 256,512,1024,2048 in a way that it will be rounded down
to the nearest power of two of the ETH MTU.
- Added ibdiagnet utility support

4.3 WinOF VPI v4.2 Main Changes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Modified RSS cores and changed VMQ affinity on the fly
- 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.
- 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 recommended 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
- Optimized code performance
- Increased send parallelism
- Memory used in receive flow is now allocated with the same affinity of the
handling processor for faster access
- Statistics parameters are now directly read from hardware instead of
being calculated 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
- 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
- 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 communication 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.
- Removed affinity restriction to group 0 for NDK
- Added support for the part_man tool. It can create only one additional
IPoIB interface 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

===============================================================================
5. Known Issues
===============================================================================
- On rare occasions, depends on the GUID assignment, the IPoIB MAC address
can be assigned with a multicast MAC (the least significant bit of the most
significant address octet is set to 1).In that case, all of the traffic
over the IPoIB I/F are dropped.
If you experience this issue, please contact Mellanox support.
- 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 is no longer supported. We recommend installing MLX4ND.
- The following are the unsupported functionality/features in WinOF Rev 4.55:
- Connect-X® adapter cards
- ND over WinVerbs provider
- SRP
- ConnectX®-2 Adapter Limitations
- Limited NDK support - for details contact Mellanox Support.
- CQ to EQ feature is not supported - consequently, the driver may associate RSS and
VMQ packets with the wrong CPUs
- Mellanox perfmon counters are not supported
- Auto-sensing is not supported
- ibdump is not supported
- QoS is not supported
- Pinning all the physical memory (used by RDMA operations, such as register memory, pin user memory) on the machine, on Operating Systems prior to Windows Server 2012, may cause the machine to hang.oS is not supported
- The displayed MAC address in the DHCP server of virtual IPoIB I/F may display a wrong data (FF00........) although the I/F is still fully functional.
- When running applications that use ND or libibumad (such as OpenSM) the system might get to a unstable state when trying to shutdown/restart/hibernate it.
- Activating NC-SI in WinOF v4.55 may cause the driver to fail loading
- When trying to use the following WMI classes and operations, an error or empty messages will be displayed:
- MLNX_Card
- MLNX_FirmwareIdentity
- MLNX_FirmwareInstallationServic
- MLNX_Realizes
- The maximum values returned by the ib_query_ca() function (for example: max_qp, max_mr) are the upper limits of the supported resources by the device. However, it may be impossible to use these maximum values, since the actual number of any resource that can be created may be limited by the machine configuration, the amount of host memory, user permissions, and the amount of resources already in use by other users/processes.
- On ConnectX-2/ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/driver utilities that read the GUID via device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value should be used.
- When uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, the ConnectX-3 Pro Ethernet device will be displayed in the Device Manager with a yellow bang (!).
- Active links disappear after changing the cable connectivity from Ethernet to InfiniBand or vise versa.
- The installation process does not close any applications running in the background, and may cause a BSOD as a result of a stuck cmd.
- InfiniBand application that was compiled with an SDK version earlier than WinOF v4.40 isn't binary compatible
- WMI does not work due to lack of permissions
- WinOF 4.40 and above IPoIB driver is not IPv6 compatible with earlier driver versions, including Window 8 Inbox driver.
If WinOF 4.50 IPoIB node receives an icmpv6 message from the legacy IPoIB node, the following event will appear in the event log:
"IPoIB driver detected a possible incompatibility with Windows 8 inbox IPv6 support due to which there is no IPv6 connectivity”.
- 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 functionality after a few minutes.
- WinOF Inbox driver does not support upgrade. When installing WinOF v4.40 and above on a Windows Server 2012 and above machine, the Inbox driver is uninstalled prior to starting the new installation and any previous configurations is lost. The Inbox driver will be reinstalled automatically when the new driver is uninstalled.
- Without separate ports for each stream, WinSock multiplexes every packet to every subscriber socket and then filters it out.
- The "Packets Received Discarded" and "Packets Received Errors" counter may display wrong results.
- Firmware upgrade may fail during installation if there was a prior firmware upgrade on the machine without a reboot after it. A firmware upgrade failure does not fail the whole installation.
- The drivers’ functionality is limited up to 1TB of memory and up to 128 cores.
- Connection failure on ND tests while machine A have IBAL provider and machine B have MLX4ND provider
- Hibernate and Sleep are not functional when user-space is using its resources.
- Calling ib_join_mcast() with timeout_ms = 0 may result in a BSOD.
- IPoIB does not support:
- MAC address change
- QoS (packet priority)
- Load balancing and fail-over (LBFO)
- Connected Mode
- Partition
- Memory registration on 32bit machines is limited to up to 256GB.
- In an interoperability environment that has both Linux and Windows OSs, the MTU value must be the same, otherwise packets larger than the minimum will not go through. The default MTU for Linux is 2K and for Windows is 4K
- Old InfiniBand application must be recompiled with the latest SDK version.
- iSCSI boot over IPoIB is currently not functional
- OpenSM does not run as a service during installation since the SM requires the GUID parameter to decide which port to work on. Setting it on setup causes it to work only on the first port and not the others.
- Tools issues:
- ibportstate does not work on RoCE ports
- ibdiagpath may crash on Hyper-V machines
- If an application which uses InfiniBand runs while the driver is being restarted, a bluescreen or an NMI may occur.
- If OpenSM is up during driver restart on the same machine, it might stop working when the driver is being backed up.
- When configuring one of the ports to be IPoIB, Mellanox device appears in the Eject Devices.
- A virtual IPoIB interface, created by the part_man utility, reports an Active state when the physical link is in the Initializing state and OpenSM is not running in the subnet
- Disabling the "Priority & VLAN tag" in the UI which VLANID is configured, may result in sending packets with the configured VLANID.
- WakeOnMagicPacket registry key is not added to the registry although WoL is supported by the driver and by the NIC.
- When the ports of the device are configured as Ethernet only, ibstat/vstat may display wrong information
- The DCB component specifies a default traffic classification that is applied to all egress packets that do not match other classification conditions. In this case, the network adapter assigns the IEEE 802.1p priority level that is associated with the default classification to these egress packets. The default traffic classification has the following attributes:
- It has a traffic classification condition of type NDIS_QOS_CONDITION_DEFAULT.
- It is the first traffic classification defined in the array of NDIS_QOS_CLASSIFICATION_ELEMENT structures
- High multicast drop rate on multicast storming.
- When there is a stress in TCP connection establishments, some of those connections may fail
- Wake on Lan (WoL) cannot be disabled on NICs which supports it.
- When NVGRE offload is enabled the GRE traffic cannot be accepted as a regular L2 traffic and requires special L2_TUNNELING steering rules. In such case the GRE packets are dropped or directed to promiscuous queue.
- GRE traffic steering by inner MAC and by outer MAC simultaneously is currently not supported.
- If VMQ set filter request are accepted without a GRE flag (i.e. requested steering by outer MAC), the GRE packets do not reach that VMQ.
- Running Quality of Service (QoS) commands without the parameter "-PolicyStore ActiveStore” may cause machines to load without Quality of Service policy.
- RoCE does not support:
- Traffic cannot go through the router. It works in the same subnet only
- Multicast traffic
- VLAN
- Layer 3 feature
- Using different versions of RoCE in your cluster is not supported.
- When using WinOF 4.40 or above, low throughput will be seen on 40GbE adapters when QoS is enabled
- Perf_tuning is supported only when one of the two NUMA nodes are in use.
- Execution of nd_write_lat over mlx4ndv1 or mlx4ndv2 may never end.
- 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 attaching the vSwitch to the ETH\IPoIB device, changing the “Jumbo Packet” registry key on the ETH\IPoIB device does not affect the vSwitch configuration and vice versa.
For example, if the user sets the “Jumbo Packet” on the ETH\IPoIB device to X, and the “Jumbo Packet” on the vSwitch to X+Y, X+Y sized packets will be passed from NDIS down to the driver and they will be dropped by it.
- Unexpected behavior might occur when running in a virtualized environment and creating two virtual switches bound to each of the ports of a dual port NIC and then using both of them with two vNICs from the same VM.
- When moving an IPoIB interface in a VM from non-VMQ to VMQ or from VMQ to non-VMQ,
a reset to the NIC may occur and in the event log the following message will appear:
‘device reports a "CQE error" on cqn qpn Status . Therefore, the HCA Nic will be reset. (The issue is reported in Function ). For more information refer to details.’
- In IPoIB when using long Multicast traffic from a Virtual Machine (VM) to an external host there might be up to 0.5% loss in 5% bursts
- Hyper-V is at low bandwidth on LBFO vSwitch, Windows 2012
- In Ethernet to achieve better iperf TCP performance between a Linux VM and a Windows VM on different hosts, when using MS MUX over the Ethernet driver, use the non VMQ mode for the VMs.
- After disabling and enabling a port on a guest, a ping to it may be renewed after a 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.
- When VMQ is enabled after reset, the driver loads all the VMQs that existed before the reset. However, 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 connectivity is reestablished. The delay is caused by the time it takes for the ARP table to update after initiating the Gratuitous ARP.
- The IPoIB non-VMQ mode is supported only when the VMQ is enabled according to the registry values.
- Upgrading the driver while the UI is opened with the "ConnectX NIC device" may cause the installation process to never end.
- Rebooting the machine reboot while uninstalling WinOF, may result in installation failure.
- Canceling the installation process may leave the bus driver in a disable state. The driver appears in a yellow bang containing the following error message:
“Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)”.
- Downgrade is not supported
- ibdump may encounter packet drops upon a burst of more than 4096 (or 2^max-burst) packets
- Packets loss is not reported by ibdump
- Running ibdump on a RoCE Ethernet port may decrease the functional bandwidth due to the overhead of creating extra copy for each packet. This may lead to packet drops on the link.
Verify Ethernet flow control is enable to ensure a lossless link
- Sniffing over IB ports is currently not supported

IHV HBA_GetAdapterAttributes call. [ER45228 closed]
* Event Id 11 entries logged by ql2300 at offset x10
and offset x34 do not match the Error Codes published on the Web.
Because the miniport uses Microsoft's Storport.sys driver to
actually log the error event, and it has been confirmed that the
storport.sys driver logs the event incorrectly. A bug has been
reported to Microsoft on this: SRX041110604850 (STORport—Incorrect
event data is logged when storport's storportlogerror). Meanwhile,
the Miniport driver is changed to log the event code at offset x10
by default. This workaround is controlled by the registry
parameter mevtwrkaround. For details on this parameter, please
see the readme file. [ER45230 closed]

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]

* Customer-specific change. [ER60313, ER60909, ER61325, ER61654]

* 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

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.

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:

- Server may hang during boot with multichannel disabled with switch default
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

for IBM System x & BladeCenter

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.

recover on a switch port bounce (shut/no shut) in an ESXi environment. A
switch port re-bounce will recover the link.

- When connected to Cisco Nexus 4k and 5k switches, OneCommand Manager reports
CRC's and there is poor network performance in an ESXi environment

- In some cases of heavy traffic or broadcast storm, users can experience a
loss of ethernet connectivity or PSOD (ESXi)

Incremental Interoperability:
- ASU/Config Pattern configuration for iSCSI and FCoE (BE3)
- UFP for iSCSI (BE3)
- Support for using 10Gb ports with legacy 1Gb switches installed in a
BladeCenter-S chassis or MSIM/MSIM-T expansion units in a BladeCenter-H or
