Integrated Management Module (IMM) Firmware Update
Change History

IMPORTANT: Prerequisite for updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e)
========== Updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) requires the current
IMM firmware version to be 1.10 (yuoo57h), or later. If this prerequisite is not
met before updating to version 1.30 (yuooc7e) the system will not power on
correctly. If the system is not running a minimum of IMM version 1.10 (yuoo57h),
update the IMM before attempting to update to 1.30 (yuooc7e).
This prerequisite was a limitation of IMM version 1.30, and it has been fixed
in IMM version 1.31(yuooc7f). This prerequisite does not apply to IMM version 1.31
or later.

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT apply the firmware update (yuoo91e, v1.24)
========= if you are using AEM functions in x3620M3 or x3630M3. The
v1.24 firmware will disable the power capping functionality in those two
systems. Please remain on the current IMM version or update the firmware
to v1.25 or newer. Users not using AEM functions can still update to v1.24.

IMPORTANT: Read before using the MAX5
========== This Technical Update supplements the documentation that comes
with the IBM MAX5 for System x. Keep this document with your other MAX5
documentation. Before you attach the MAX5 to the server and try to use it,
you must update the server firmware with the latest level of firmware or
code. If you attach and try to use the MAX5 without updating the server
firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might
not power on. For special instructions to follow before you attach the MAX5
to the server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5085756.

IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest
technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access
these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and follow the
instructions.

IMPORTANT: If you are at IMM firmware versions prior to 1.12 (yuoo67c) and
========== updating IMM firmware in Microsoft Windows, when you update IMM to
versions between 1.14 (YUOO73M) and 1.30 (YUOOC7E), it will take up to 10 minutes
additional wait time; when you update IMM to version 1.30 (YUOOC7E) or later, it
will take up to 20 minutes additional wait time. This is due to the iflash tool
checking the IMM before flashing. During this time the flashing process may appear
hung or unresponsive. The flashing will then complete and there is no functional
impact.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM firmware level is 1.14 or later
========== before you update the uEFI, FPGA, or DSA Preboot firmware.
The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM followed by UEFI
followed by FPGA followed by DSA Preboot.

IMPORTANT: A firmware change was made in YUOO57H (v1.10) that enforces the
========= requirement for login accounts on the IMM to have passwords that
contain both alpha and numeric characters. If you are updating the IMM firmware
from YUOO56K (v1.09) or earlier, to YUOO57H (v1.10) or newer, prior to updating
the firmware, please ensure that the IMM user account passwords contain
both alpha and numeric characters. If the firmware is updated and the passwords
do not contain both alpha and numeric characters, you may need to reset the IMM
to its default settings using the menus in the UEFI F1 set up display.

IMPORTANT: When updating the IMM firmware from a version earlier than
========= version 1.05 (build YUOO32F) to version 1.05 or newer, the
Remote Alert Recipient Email Addresses and the Daylight Saving
Time setting will revert to the default setting.
Users that utilize these settings will need to set them again
after the update.

IMPORTANT: When updating IMM, uEFI, pDSA, FPGA via any method,
========== please follow firmware update best practice document
(http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand=
5000020&lndocid=MIGR-5082923) for suggested update sequence and prerequisite.

IMPORTANT: Due to an Intel errata, if your server is running a 32-bit Linux
========== Operating System, C-states may need to be disabled while updating
uEFI, IMM, or DSA Preboot through the Linux command line interface. See
RETAIN TIP H195678 for more information. Updates performed through the AMM,
Bootable Media Creator, or the IMM web or CLI interfaces do not have this
requirement.

IMPORTANT: Updated firmware version numbers might not be visible in SMBIOS
========== tables until after the server is rebooted.

IMPORTANT: After downgrading IMM firmware from version 1.22
========== to an earlier version, the user needs to reset the
IMM to factory default before normal operation.

===============================================================================
10. Known Issues
===============================================================================
10.1 General Known Issue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a list of general limitations and known issues of the various
components of this Mellanox OFED for Linux release.
- When upgrading from an earlier Mellanox OFED version, the installation
script does not stop the earlier version prior to uninstalling it.
Workaround: Stop the old OFED stack (/etc/init.d/openibd stop) before
upgrading to this new version.
- When upgrading from the previous OFED installation to this release, you
must reboot after driver installation since the kernel module ipoib_helper
does not unload.
- "openibd stop" can sometime fail with the error:
Unloading ib_cm [FAILED]
ERROR: Module ib_cm is in use by ib_ipoib
Workaround: run "openibd stop" again.
- Fork support from kernel 2.6.12 and above is available provided
that applications do not use threads. fork() is supported as long
as the parent process does not run before the child exits or calls exec().
The former can be achieved by calling wait(childpid), and the latter can be
achieved by application specific means. The Posix system() call is
supported.
- The Intel compiler on RH5.4/5.5/5.6 requires that the
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61 RPM be installed on your host.
- When working with ISCSI over IPoIB or mlx4_en, you must disable LRO (even
if IPoIB is set to connected mode). This is because there is a bug in older
kernels which causes a kernel panic.
- OpenMPI and Mvapich with the PGI compiler are not supported on SLES11
32-bit, SLES11 SP1 32-bit, RHEL6.0 and RHEL6.1.
- On SLES11, and in case uninstall is failing, check the error log and remove
the remaining RPMs manually using 'rpm -e '.
- On SLES11, set the allow_unsupported_modules parameter to 1 in the file
/etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules. Without this setting, the modules will
not load.
- When working under bonding, unloading the mlx4_en driver may cause
unexpected behavior by the bonding driver.
- Fallback to the primary slave of an IPoIB bond does not work with ARP
monitoring. (https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1990)
- MLNX_OFED includes the OFED source RPM packages used as a build platform
for kernel code but does not include the sources of Mellanox proprietary
packages.
For further detail please see section 4. Differences between
MLNX_OFED-1.5.3 and OFED 1.5.3.1.
- The device capabilities reported may not be reached as it depends on the
system on which the device is installed and whether the resource is
allocated in kernel or userspace.
- mlx4_en with bonding on SLES11 SP1: Do not unload mlx4_en (modprobe -r mlx4_en)
while interfaces are enslaved. Unloading mlx4_en kernel module while
interfaces are enslaved can lead to unexpected behavior.
- Configuring Bonding over IPoIB interfaces while QIB driver is loaded can lead
to kernel panic
- SDP does not work with EoIB interfaces.
- When creating port configuration files using YAST on SLES systems,
not all (or no) mlx4_en network interfaces are recognized by the tool.
Workaround:
The interface configuration needs to be added as a new interface and the
MAC address needs to be set manually.
- cxgb3i kernel module fails to be loaded after MLNX_OFED installation:
# service iscsid start
Starting iSCSI daemon: FATAL: Error inserting cxgb3i
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-238.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/cxgb3i/cxgb3i.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

cxgb3i: disagrees about version of symbol cxgb3_register_client
cxgb3i: Unknown symbol cxgb3_register_client

cxgb3i: Unknown symbol cxgb3_alloc_atid
...
- On Citrix XenServer Host 5.6.100-39215p mlx4_core driver may failed to be
loaded with the following error:
mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: NOP command failed to generate MSI-X interrupt IRQ 1217).
mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Trying again without MSI-X.
mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: SW2HW_EQ failed (-110)
mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Failed to initialize event queue table, aborting.

The problem isn't seen on Xen Server 5.6 sp2 (exact version 5.6.100-46766p
kernel 2.6.32.12-0.7.1.xs5.6.100.323.170596xen).

- On Citrix XenServer 5.6 the iser initiator may get from the dom0 kernel
"bad" dma addressees for the iscsi login request/response buffer which if used
result in data-corruption during login. Limiting the buffer used for login
to 4k seems to provide work around for the problem. If the driver would observe
such "bad" dma address, it will intentionally fail the login attempt, such that
a similar to the following message will be printed to the system log:

iser: iser_create_ib_conn_res:login buf cc5c0000 size 16460 kvirt/dma - req cc5c0000/77d7000 \
resp cc5c2000/77d9000 dma err 0/0 bad 1/1
iser: iser_create_ib_conn_res:unable to alloc mem or create resource, err -12
iser: iscsi_iser_ep_poll:ib conn c9f864bc rc = -1

-- note that the size is 16460 where with the workaround applied it will be 4096

when things are okay, the following should be seen

iser_create_ib_conn_res:login buf deb3b000 size 4096 kvirt/dma - req deb3b000/617878000 \
resp deb3b800/617878800 dma err 0/0 bad 0/0

- To forward TCP traffic LRO should be disabled (Relevant for IPoIB, EoIB and MLX4_EN)
To disable LRO
EoIB:
modprobe mlx4_vnic lro_num=0
IPoIB:
Set "options ib_ipoib lro=0" in /etc/modprobe.d/ib_ipoib.conf
MLX4_EN:
Use ethtool: ethtool --offload lro off
- mlx4_vnic kernel module (EoIB) is not loaded by default.
Workaround:
Set MLX4_VNIC_LOAD=yes in /etc/infiniband/openib.conf to load mlx4_vnic upon boot.

- Running more than 2 instances of openSM in the same IB subnet has not been qualified.

- An IPoIB cannot be a full member of a Multicast Group (MC) if the "umcast" flag
(/sys/class/net/$dev/umcast) is set to 1, or if that IPoIB has previously joined
the MC group as a "send only" member

- The introduction of 64 bit CQE support in ConnectX3 devices has increased
the ABI version of the kernel. Thus upgrading the included libmlx4 library accordingly.
Hence, old libraries/executables that were built using the older headers will fail to load.
Workaround:
Rebuild the binaries using the new headers.

- Ethernet and RoCE cannot work on the same port of ConnectX-2 device.
Note: To receive ConnectX-2 firmware that fix this issue, please contact your Mellanox
representative.

RoCE ONLY:
- PowerPC and ia64 architecture currently are not supported.
- x32 architectures were not tested.
- SRP is currently not supported.

- When running the ibdiagnet check nodes_info on the fabric, a warning specifying that the
card does not support general info capabilities for all the HCAs in the fabric will be displayed.
Workaround:
Run ibdiagnet --skip nodes_info

- On RHEL6.3, mlnxofedinstall gives the following warning:

Installing kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel RPM
Preparing... ##################################################
kmod-mlnx-ofa_kernel ##################################################
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ib_ipath.ko needs unknown symbol ib_wq
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64/kernel/drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/ib_ipath.ko needs unknown symbol ib_wq

This message can be safely ignored. ib_ipath driver was replaced by ib_qib driver.

- When the HCA temperature reaches its threshold, (default, 105 Celsius
degrees), the following message is logged in the kernel logs (the device
number and the index may be different):

mlx4_core 0000:08:00.0: Unhandled event 1b(00) on EQ 11 at index 3986

If this message appears in the logs, please check the server's cooling
system.

- The parameters below must be added to the IPoIB interfaces' configuration
files (ifcfg-ibX) on RHEL6.3 otherwise, different network interfaces may
get the same IP address.

NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
TYPE="InfiniBand"

- perftest: Removed rdma_bw and rdma_lat tests from the perftest package.
All of their features and functionality are contained in other tests.
They originally performed SEND verb with/o rdma_cm, this feature is
already supported in all other tests with "-R" flag.
When using this feature ("-R"), you must supply the IPoIB interface IP in order to connect them.

- When working with RAW packet QP, VLAN is always stripped upon received
packets, but VLAN insertion is not executed upon transmitted packets.

- Unloading the mlx4_ib driver either directly (by unloading the module/driver)
or indirectly (by rebooting the machine) when the IPoIB network I/Fs are
aggregated using bonding may result in a kernel oops.
Workaround:
Remove the IPoIB network I/Fs from the bond before unloading the driver.

- Changing the port link layer protocol using connectx_port_config
in parallel to RDS traffic may result in a kernel oops.
Workaround:
Stop the RDS traffic before changing the port’s link layer protocol.

10.2 SRP Oracle ZFS Target Known Issues
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- When using the Oracle ZFS target, after an initiator reboot,
with no graceful shutdown, the initiator tries to
reconnect to the target and receives stale connection reject.
The initiator quits retrying after 3 times.

- Occasionally, when using the Oracle ZFS target, the first command
on one of the paths to the target gets stuck.
This triggers the initiator error recovery,
however, the operation is not always successful.

- When using the Oracle ZFS target, running "opensm –r" during active traffic
makes LUNs become read-only.

- When using the Oracle ZFS target, during failover/failback operations,
the initiator may lose all or some paths to LUNs,
filesystem on LUNs may become read-only,
and the ZFS appliance may hang until all initiators are rebooted.


Note: See the release notes of each component for additional issues.

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