Driver and Utility Changes
--------------------------
- Updated E4 ESX 6.5 qedentv with signed driver package

Caveats
=======

Legacy
======
- 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

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.

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.

*******Currently known issues and limitations with Broadcom NetXtreme drivers and devices. ********

Known Issues and Limitations
============================

Certified Drivers:
Citrix and VMware uncertified drivers are provided for test on the
alpha, beta, and RC-level CDs. They are removed from the gold CD
releases, in lieu of certified drivers being downloaded from their
respective owners.

CN4093:
The following anomalies have been noted as third party isssues with
the CN4093 switch:
1) 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 the FCF-enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch.
2) After switch reboot, sometimes initiator and targets are logged out
from the FCoE database of the FCF-enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch.
Switch reboot is required to recover from this state.
3) In some cases, the “Application Protocol State Machine Status” for
the 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.
4) The “Default Port VLAN ID” of the CN4093 switch port connecting to
the QLogic FCoE initiator must be configured as “1” for switch to
respond to VLAN Request. When the PVID of the switch port is set to
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.

DCB/DCBX:
DCB/DCBX is required for proper FCoE operation. When configuring FCoE
operation, enable DCB/DCBX through the HII menus.

Default to VLAN 1002 if VLAN discovery fails:
The QLogic NX2 implementation requires VLAN Discovery to work, to be
able to discover targets in an FCoE setting. There is a known problem
in the CN4093 and EN4093 adapters, where untagged VLAN Discovery
packets are dropped, causing VLAN Discovery to fail. Lenovo has
requested an enhancement to have the controllers fall back to VLAN 1002
if VLAN Discovery fails (CQ68018). These changes are implemented for
UEFI (preboot), Windows, and VMware as part of the T7.12 release.
Changes for Linux have been submitted upstream and will be part of a
later OpenFCoE release.

Diagnostic Driver:
The first time diagnostics are run in a Windows environment on NX2
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 QLogic driver package was unzipped. You may also
search your hard drive for the file “bxdiag.inf.”

FCoE and MFW:
FCoE is only supported using MFW, not legacy bootcode.

Flow Control Statistics:
Flow control statistics (MAC Sent X-ON, MAC Sent X-OFF and MAC Rx with
no Pause Command) are reported incorrectly within QCS for 57710-based
adapters. There is no functional impact and device is working as
expected.

Hyper-V:
Manually enabling TCP Chimney Offload in the guest operating systems
under Hyper-V is not supported on Windows Server 2008 R2.

iSCSI Initiator:
1) The Linux iSCSI VLAN tag dependent on L2 VLAN tag, and must also be
on the same subnet.
2) Linux iSCSI Path MTU is not yet implemented.
3) No routing support for SLES 11.3 ISCSI.

Legacy FCoE boot:
Lenovo does not support legacy FCoE boot to any operating system.

Legacy iSCSI boot:
Lenovo 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 QLogic controllers, to allow support
of operating systems where this is allowed.

Licensing:
FCoE and iSCSI offload are only available in the presence of valid
licenses in NVRAM.

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, disable
IOMMU in the BIOS.

QLASP:
QLASP (QLogic 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 QLASP. 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.

QLASP and RSS:
QLASP with RSS enable can support a maximum of up to 4 processors.

RIS Drivers:
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 QCS 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 NX2
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 QLogic devices, then re-run the installer.

TOE and RSS:
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.

Tundra / Tacoma modes:
Tundra was developed and limited to 2x10Gb operation.
Tacoma was developed and is currently limited to 2x10Gb operation. The
hardware design includes support for a I2C register notification to the
IMM of a VPD configuration change; the hardware for this has been
tested, but the firmware support for this is not implemented. It is
planned for an unidentified future release to support 4x10Gb and
2x20Gb modes.

UCM overriding QCS settings:
The QCS utility has some functionality for changing adapter parameters,
but recently enhancements to the UCM logic in the blade BIOS will store
adapter information, and override new values from QCS with previous UCM
values. This is a limitation of the UCM architecture. The only
workaround is for changes such as enabling/disabling NPar or UFP to be
done through the HII ( setup) menus, or through a UCM utility such
as ASU or Config Patterns.

UEFI SAN Boot:
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 operating system MUST be enabled on
vNIC port PF0 or 1, 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:
RHEL6.5 (boot time failover will not work)
RHEL6.6 (boot time failover will not work)
In MPIO configurations, RHEL6.x 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.

Virtual Bus Driver Architecture:
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.

Wake on LAN 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.

WinPE:
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.
The 5708 Network Controller support is available as a native driver
package in the Windows Server 2008 OS.

event data is logged when storport's storportlogerror). Meanwhile,
the Miniport driver is changed to log the event code at offset x10

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

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.

* 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:

Outgoing Mailbox N_Port F_Port
---------------- ------ ------
0 8014h 8014h
1 N_Port Handle 7FEh
2 0007 0007
3 0Bh/VPIndex 1Ah/VPIndex [ER60623]

* MID only. Corrected validation of VP Index received in a CT Pass-
Through request. [ER61522]

* Corrected verification of RX_ID in received ABTS frame. [ER61591]

* Disk CRC only. Corrected inadvertent drop of received XFER_RDY.
This problem was introduced as a result of ER60318. [ER61659]

* Corrected Fatal Firmware Error 8002h when firmware received
back-to-back SRRs for the same exchange. [ER61757]

* Corrected Fatal Firmware Error 8002h when an invalid FAN is
received and Disable Automatic PLOGI option is selected.
[ER61763]

* Populate hard address field in ADISC when previous address bit
is set when the ISP is operating in a loop topology.
[ER61765]

* 24xx only. Improved link recovery after LR/LRR when using Inline
Credit Extender. [ER61775]

* Mercury Converged Network Adapter only. De-Register MAC address
associated with a logged out Virtual Port. [ER61890]

* Corrected upper 16 bits of receive exchange address when CTIO
Error completion status is returned. [ER62084]

* Corrected Fatal Firmware Error 8002h during target mode operation

From Version 4.04.00 to 4.05.00

Changes
-------
* 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
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]

* Allow system driver to send LOGO ELS via ELS Pass-Through IOCB
using an N_Port Handle of FFFFh. [ER60400]

* MID only. Return Command Parameter Error (4006h) if the number
of requested VP’s exceeds the limit when issuing Initialize
Firmware – Multiple-IDs Mailbox Command (048h).

* 2432 only. Disable PCIe Completion Timeout. PCIe Completion
Timeout has been disabled to address issues seen on certain
systems where PCIe completion could take over 50ms. [ER61461]

Bug Fixes
---------

Firmware errors (8002h) being reported. [ER60336, ER61222,
ER61223]

* MID only. Corrected a problem where a LOGO ELS could be sent
to a port that was not logged in. [ER60565]

* MID only. Corrected a problem where a FLOGI/FDISC would not be
sent to the switch after a previous FLOGI/FDISC completed with
an ELS RJT. [ER60566]

* MID only. A PLOGI could be rejected for a Virtual Port even though
the Primary Port parameters have not changed. [ER60568]

* MID only. Corrected a problem where an incorrect number of
acquired AL_PAs could be reported during the LIRP and LILP
phases of loop initialization. [ER60569]

* MID only. Login/Logout IOCB completion status was incorrect when
no FLOGI ACC ELS had been received. [ER60571]

* Corrected a Fatal Firmware Error (8002h) when a CTIO IOCB with
Confirmation Satisfied is received when the FCP_RSP has not been
sent yet. The CTIO will be returned with a completion status of
Invalid Request (06h). [ER60572]

* MID only. Corrected handling of incoming frames while waiting for
LOGI ACC ELS for the primary port. [ER60576]

* Corrected a problem when attempting to abort an ELS Pass-Through
operation when a PLOGI is received that changes the ports D_ID.
[ER60637]

* Class 2 only. Corrected Fatal Firmware Error (8002h) reported when
attempting to abort transmit operations. [ER60698]

* Corrected timer values used with link recovery. [ER60877]

* Improved handling of receiving an ABTS for a CT Pass-Through
exchange. [ER61007]

* Corrected a problem with aborting IOs for the incorrect LUN
when a LUN Level Task Management Function is active.
[ER61155]

* MID only. Ensure that Buffer-Buffer Credits are not modified
when processing FDISC or FDISC-ACC. [ER61187, ER61216]

* MID only. Correctly track changing of local 24-bit ID during
cleanup. [ER61200]

* Handle race condition of completing transmit of PLOGI-ACC and
receiving PRLI. [ER61465]

From Version 4.03.02 to 4.04.00

Changes
-------
* Customer-specific change. [ER56370, ER58608, ER59978]

Note: An asterisk (*) following a version number represents a certified driver.
Arrows (<<) between versions indicate the component has been updated from the previous released software kit.

Known Issues and Limitations
============================

Certified Drivers:
Citrix and VMware uncertified drivers are provided for test on the
alpha, beta, and RC-level CDs. They are removed from the gold CD
releases, in lieu of certified drivers being downloaded from their
respective owners.

CN4093:
The following anomalies have been noted as third party isssues with
the CN4093 switch:
1) 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 the FCF-enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch.
2) After switch reboot, sometimes initiator and targets are logged out
from the FCoE database of the FCF-enabled VLAN by CN4093 switch.
Switch reboot is required to recover from this state.
3) In some cases, the “Application Protocol State Machine Status” for
the 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.
4) The “Default Port VLAN ID” of the CN4093 switch port connecting to
the QLogic FCoE initiator must be configured as “1” for switch to
respond to VLAN Request. When the PVID of the switch port is set to
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.

DCB/DCBX:
DCB/DCBX is required for proper FCoE operation. When configuring FCoE
operation, enable DCB/DCBX through the HII menus.

Default to VLAN 1002 if VLAN discovery fails:
The QLogic NX2 implementation requires VLAN Discovery to work, to be
able to discover targets in an FCoE setting. There is a known problem
in the CN4093 and EN4093 adapters, where untagged VLAN Discovery
packets are dropped, causing VLAN Discovery to fail. IBM has
requested an enhancement to have the controllers fall back to VLAN 1002
if VLAN Discovery fails (CQ68018). These changes are implemented for
UEFI (preboot), Windows, and VMware as part of the T7.12 release.
Changes for Linux have been submitted upstream and will be part of a
later OpenFCoE release.

Diagnostic Driver:
The first time diagnostics are run in a Windows environment on NX2
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 QLogic driver package was unzipped. You may also
search your hard drive for the file “bxdiag.inf.”

FCoE and MFW:
FCoE is only supported using MFW, not legacy bootcode.

Flow Control Statistics:
Flow control statistics (MAC Sent X-ON, MAC Sent X-OFF and MAC Rx with
no Pause Command) are reported incorrectly within QCS for 57710-based
adapters. There is no functional impact and device is working as
expected.

Hyper-V:
Manually enabling TCP Chimney Offload in the guest operating systems
under Hyper-V is not supported on Windows Server 2008 R2.

iSCSI Boot from SAN:
IBM only supports the following iSCSI boot from SAN methods:
1) QLogic Legacy Mode Hardware initiator iSCSI Offload (L4)
2) IBM uEFI Mode Software initiator iSCSI (L2)
Please refer to the appropriate user guide for proper configuration.

iSCSI Initiator:
1) The Linux iSCSI VLAN tag dependent on L2 VLAN tag, and must also be
on the same subnet.
2) Linux iSCSI Path MTU is not yet implemented.
3) No routing support for SLES 11.3 ISCSI.

Legacy FCoE boot:
IBM does not support legacy FCoE boot to any operating system.

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 QLogic controllers, to allow support
of operating systems where this is allowed.

Legacy iSCSI and PXE Firmware:
Legacy firmware instances from various devices compete for limited
memory resources in the system. If legacy iSCSI or PXE boot is not
working, especially after a system BIOS or adapter firmware change,
it may be caused by memory contention. The workaround for such issues
is to disable boot on competing devices, or to completely disable
unneeded devices. For example, disabling the storage RAID adapter
will often free up memory to allow iSCSI or PXE boot.

Licensing:
FCoE and iSCSI offload are only available in the presence of valid
licenses in NVRAM.

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, disable
IOMMU in the BIOS.

QLASP:
QLASP (QLogic 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 QLASP. 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.

QLASP and RSS:
QLASP with RSS enable can support a maximum of up to 4 processors.

RIS Drivers:
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 QCS 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 NX2
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 QLogic devices, then re-run the installer.

TOE and RSS:
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.

Tundra / Tacoma modes:
Tundra was developed and limited to 2x10Gb operation.
Tacoma was developed and is currently limited to 2x10Gb operation. The
hardware design includes support for a I2C register notification to the
IMM of a VPD configuration change; the hardware for this has been
tested, but the firmware support for this is not implemented. It is
planned for an unidentified future release to support 4x10Gb and
2x20Gb modes.

UCM overriding QCS settings:
The QCS utility has some functionality for changing adapter parameters,
but recently enhancements to the UCM logic in the blade BIOS will store
adapter information, and override new values from QCS with previous UCM
values. This is a limitation of the UCM architecture. The only
workaround is for changes such as enabling/disabling NPar or UFP to be
done through the HII ( setup) menus, or through a UCM utility such
as ASU or Config Patterns.

UEFI SAN Boot:
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 operating system MUST be enabled on
vNIC port PF0 or 1, 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:
RHEL6.5 (boot time failover will not work)
RHEL6.6 (boot time failover will not work)
In MPIO configurations, RHEL6.x 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.

Virtual Bus Driver Architecture:
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.

Wake on LAN 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.

WinPE:
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.
The 5708 Network Controller support is available as a native driver
package in the Windows Server 2008 OS.

SR-IOV on ESXi:
1. When 64-bit BAR enabled in BIOS, an issue has been observed with powering on VM that has a VF assigned to it.
This appears to be due to vmkernel behavior.
So the suggestion is to keep 64-bit BAR disabled when configuring SR-IOV on ESXi

2. When multiple adapters are present on a server and UFP mode is configured on one or more of the adapters,
users should take into consideration the sequence in which PFs are enumerated before determining which PFs need to have max_vfs configured.
It is recommended that max_vfs be configured on functions in the order of enumeration.
The enumeration sequence can be determined by examining vmkernel logs.

Historical Information
======================
E1 PXE: E1 (57710/57711) devices are no longer support by the T7.4 or later
PXE code. PXE updates on E1 devices must use 7.2.x-based PXE drivers
or earlier (provided with this kit).

ESX: VMware SRIOV support is limited to ESX 5.5 and above, and not
supported on ESX 5.1 or prior.

Flow Control: The default Flow Control setting in the Linux drier for 5771x
10Gb fiber devices is now set to disabled. In some previous releases,
the default was set to enabled.

FoD: General support for Features on Demand (FoD) was added in T7.8b for
Tundra, but no FoD keys were defined or tested.

Hyper-V: No Windows 2012 inbox driver support in VM / Guest-OS.

Hyper-V TOE: Windows Server 2008 R2 was 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 the T7.8 driver release.
As a result, we did 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.

Inbox: The current inbox iSCSIUIO does not support Linux BFS with UFP on
RHEL 6.5, RHEL 6.6, RHEL 7.0, and SLES 11.3. You will need to upgrade
to the latest released driver during installation.

RPL: The 10Gb MBA PXE driver no longer supports the RPL protocol. This
support was removed around the T7.4 timeframe.

Split / Rebranding: The split of NX1 and NX2 support, and the rebranding from
Broadcom to QLogic, was done in the T7.12 timeframe.

Storage: Support was added in T7.10 for Tundra only.

Windows 2003: Support was discontinued as of the T7.0 program. This includes
preventing driver install, preventing enumeration of iSCSI HBA, and
removing support for installation of iSCSI boot drivers.

=============
Third-party trademarks and copyrights are property of their respective owners.

For FCoE, QLogic 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. QLogic 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 QLogic contact
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.

===============================================================================
4. Change Log History
===============================================================================

4.1 WinOF VPI v5.25 Main Changes (from v5.22):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtualization
-Virtual Machine Multiple Queue (VMMQ): Virtual Machine Multiple Queues (VMMQ), formerly known as Hardware vRSS,
is a NIC offload technology that provides scalability for processing network traffic of a VPort in the host (root partition) of a virtualized node. In essence,
VMMQ extends the native RSS feature to the VPorts that are associated with the physical function (PF) of a NIC including the default VPort
-Network Direct Kernel Provider Interface (NDK v2): The Network Direct Kernel Provider Interface (NDKPI) is an extension to NDIS that allows
IHVs to provide kernel-mode Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) support in a network adapter.
-SR-IOV Port Mode: Changed the default value of SriovPortMode to Manual. Now, by default on dual-port devices the maximum number of VFs will be split between the two ports.
-RDMA over VM in SR IOV Mode (Beta Level): Allows the user to work with ND and NDK over Virtual Machines when in SR-IOV mode.

Ethernet
-PacketDirect Provider Interface: PacketDirect extends NDIS with an accelerated I/O model,
which can increase the number of packets processed per second by an order of magnitude and significantly decrease jitter when compared to the traditional NDIS I/O path.

Installation
-Added support for Nano server.

4.2 WinOF VPI v5.22 Main Changes (from v5.10):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General
-Enabled dual-port card to work as a single-port card.

RDMA
-Improves cache hit rate in RDMA by reducing the size of the Adapter's Memory Translation Table (MTT).
-Changed the ND port allocation scheme from hashing to 64k bitmask.
-Changed the default value of RoCE mode to RoCE v2

Tools
-Modified the Vsat tool to function also when RoCE is disabled.
-nd_write_bw and nd_send_bw now support getting send completions using events instead of polling by using -e switch. Parameter only affects client side and only on “duration” mode (-D ).
-Improved mlxtool error handling for the pkeys option. When a broken IPoIB interface registry entry exists (for example, an old virtual interface that was not fully removed),
the tool would fail and exit. Now the tool skips such entries and prints the next ones.

Diagnostic
-Improved Event Log Messages explaining behavior of the driver in case of illegal port configuration Port1: Ethernet w/o RoCE, Port2 IB.
-Improved Event Log Messages issued on driver-generated dumps.

SR-IOV
-SR-IOV is disabled when the port is set as IB type.
-Set the *PriorityVLANTag registry key of Virtual Function (VF) to not support neither priority nor VLAN, and removed VlanId registry key completely.

Installation

RDMA
-Enabled the driver to use a minimal number of memory registration resources when physical memory contiguity allows it.
-Implemented a resource pool to save physically contiguous memory in the driver, which was used by RDMA applications. This way the re-use of this memory will be allowed.
-Improved ND connection establishment time when using firmware v2.34.5000
-Changed NDK and its clients (like SMBDirect) to be dis- abled by default when PFC is not enabled.

-Enlarged private data limit in ND and NDK.
-Changed default RoCEv2 UDP destination port to match IANA standard.
-Removed all deprecated performance tools.

Virtualization
-Improved isolation of SRIOV host from VM driver issues.
-Added support in mlxtool to allow the query of PKeys configured in SR-IOV VMs.

RoCE
-Enabled mlxtool to allow a manual generation of register dumps.
-For performance tuning purposes, debug counters were added to indicate once the driver transmit queue got full.
-Added a discard counter for performance analysis.
-Added discard counters per Transport Class. The counters names are in beta and are subject to change.

Ethernet
-Enabled a device watchdog mechanism that prevents the device from sending excessive pauses to the network for any reason.
-Added support for Windows 2008R2/Windows 7 teaming driver to allow selecting the MAC address of the primary interface.
-Added support for driver Teaming in Windows Client 8.1.

Performance

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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

4.13 WinOF VPI v4.2 Main Changes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Added support for K-GROUPS processors (more than 64 processors support) to
allow assignment of MSI-X affinity for multiple processor groups.
- 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.
- Added Registry key documentation to the setup package
- 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).
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- Added the following tools 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
- Modified RSS cores and changed VMQ affinity on the fly
- Set an adequate number of MTTs to map all physical memory
- Set QoS settings only for ConnectX-3. Changing the hardware ID,
forces the OS to install new device and re-build the registry keys.
- Allocated firmware and ICM memory in chunks of non-paged memory instead
of using contiguous physical memory.
- Allocated memory used in receive flow with the same affinity of the
handling processor for faster access
- 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
- Enabled configuration of TxRingNum registry key from the UI
- Improved the "Port Protocol" dialog
- Improved performance in virtualization when using VMQ
- Optimized code performance
- Increased send parallelism
- Statistics parameters are now directly read from hardware instead of
being calculated by software
- Use "BlueFlame" registry key to enable\disable this feature.
- Removed some race conditions in IPoIB mcast handling
- Removed redundant LID_CHANGE events. This fixes the redundant
reconnection of all IPoIB mcasts.
- Removed affinity restriction to group 0 for NDK
- Installed ND by default

===============================================================================
5. Known Issues
===============================================================================

- Generic
- 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.
- 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 v4.60 may cause driver’s loading failure when using
an older firmware version than 2.30.8000.
- 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.
- Running Ntttcp without the “-a X” flag (X >1) in a NIC configured with 10GbE,
may cause low bandwidth in TCP single stream.
- Active links disappear after changing the cable connectivity from Ethernet
to InfiniBand or vise versa.
- 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.
- The UI displays the network interface’s state incorrectly even after
disabling and re-enabling the "disconnected" network interfaces.
To see the correct state and link speed, perform one of the following:
- Run Get-netadapter Powershell cmdlet
- Right click on that interface from “Network Con- nections” and click on status
- WoL is not supported on Windows 2008 R2.
- iSCSI boot over Windows 2008 R2 is not supported
- Clearing the Mellanox device counters through perfmon does not always
work.To resolve it user should restart the driver
- When running in SRIOV mode and Hyper-V, the same driver version should
be used on both the Hypervisor and the virtual machine.
- Working with user space RDMA resources (i.e. ND) in parallel with hardware reset may cause unexpected behavior.
- In Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 Client, ConnectX-3 Pro is identified as ConnectX-3.
This does not affect anything.
- 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.
- The drivers’ functionality is limited up to 128 cores.
- According to the hardware architecture, Mellanox NIC devices are presented in the registry as virtual devices and not as physical devices.
Any customer programs or scripts that look into the NIC registry values should not assume it is a physical device.

- InfiniBand
- IPv6 traffic between Hyper-V hosts over IPoIB v-Switch may experience traffic loss.
- Creating a virtual IPoIB port with non-default PKey isn't supported in the WinOF upgrade. Doing so will indicate that the adapter is unplugged after the upgrade ends.
- InfiniBand application that was compiled with an SDK version earlier than WinOF v4.90 is not binary compatible.
- 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”.
- Without separate ports for each stream, WinSock multiplexes every
packet to every subscriber socket and then filters it out .
- 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
- The "Packets Received Discarded" and "Packets Received Errors"
counter may display wrong results.
- 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.
- IPoIB does not support:
- MAC address change
- QoS (packet priority)
- Connected Mode
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
To resume operation, stop OpenSM and restart the driver while
OpenSM is down.
- Sometimes during traffic, the latency of the IPoIB can get
higher (this behavior is inconsistent).
Set the following registry in the IPoIB network interface:
RecvIntModTime=0
Please note, this action increases the CPU utilization.
- No communication between the physical interface and a VM that
uses vSwitch created over virtual IPoIB (Pkey), and vice versa.
- Burning a Firmware image with a "mtu_cap" value other than the default causes the driver load to fail.
- Calling ib_query_cq() on a CQ which was created with 1 entry
indicates that there are 0 entries in the CQ.
- IPoIB ports report the configured MTU instead of the effective MTU.
These MTUs differ when the corresponding InfiniBand partition is configured with a smaller MTU than the port’s configured MTU.
In such case, there may be communication failures and/or CPU work overhead on the communicating nodes (even if the peer node is configured correctly).
- 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.
- DHCP messages that IPoIB send are not fully spec complaint. The spec specifies that the 'chaddr' field must be zeroed, but WinOF IPoIB does not guarantee it.
-Ethernet interface is started, in spite of InfiniBand configuration of the port. This occurs due to an enabled BMC or an outdated firmware version.

- Ethernet
- Disabling the "Priority & VLAN tag" in the UI which VLANID is
configured, may result in sending packets with the configured
VLANID.
Remove the VLANID before disabling the "Priority & VLAN tag".
- 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.
- High multicast drop rate on multicast storming.
Use "Multicast traffic" tuning option under the
performance tab.
For further information, please refer to section “Tunable
Performance Parameters” in the User Manual.
- When there is a stress in TCP connection establishments, some
of those connections may fail.
Increase the Ring queue sizes:
- ReceiveBuffers - controls the receive ring size
- TransmitBuffers - controls the transmit ring size
- 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.
- Disabling the ethernet adapter with more than 25 VLANs configured over windows server 2008 R2 \ windows server 7,
may result with a non-responding server.
- Virtual Ethernet Interfaces created by vea_man are not tuned by the automatic performance tuning script
- In Windows Server 2008 R2, devices created by the Teaming driver do not show the correct OEM branding in the Device Manager.
- Wake on Lan (WoL) cannot be disabled on NICs which supports it.

- Quality of Service
- Running Quality of Service (QoS) commands without the parameter
"-PolicyStore ActiveStore” may cause machines to load without
Quality of Service policy.
Store the QoS policy in the ActiveStore

- RoCE ,NVGRE
- RoCE does not support:
- Traffic cannot go through the router. It works in the same subnet only
- Multicast traffic
- VLAN
- Layer 3 feature
- In machines with heterogeneous NICs: a NIC which sup- ports RoCE v2,
and a NIC which does not support RoCE v2 the following issus might raise:
- Connect-X®-3 Pro is loaded with the transport type RoCE v2
- Connect-X®-3 is loaded with the transport type RoCE
- When NVGRE off-load 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.
- Using different versions of RoCE in your cluster is not supported.
- RDMA Activity counters do not count during NetworkDirect RoCE traffic.
- GRE traffic steering by inner MAC and by outer MAC simultaneously is currently not supported.
- If VMQ set filter requests are accepted without a GRE flag (i.e. requested steering by outer MAC), the GRE packets do not reach that VMQ.
-RoCE fallback mode is not working when SR-IOV is enabled.
-Set the bus driver registry keyAcceptGREbyOuterMAC_P1/2 per port to accept GRE traffic by outer MAC and to duplicate L2 steering rule to
L2_TUNNELING rule for each VMQ set filter request without GRE flag.
-Changing RoCE mode in a virtual machine is not supported.

- Performance
- When using WinOF 4.40 or above, low throughput will be seen on 40GbE
adapters when QoS is enabled.
To solve it Disable QoS when it is not in use:
- Open a PowerShell prompt. Run:
- Disable-NetAdapter-Qos -name where is
- e.g. "Ethernet 1"
- Perf_tuning is supported only when one of the two NUMA nodes
are in use.
- Running performance benchmarks for a short period of time (< 1 sec)
may provide bad latency in IPoIB and Ethernet.
Set “Rx Interrupt Moderation Profile” and “Tx Interrupt Moderation
Profile”, to “Low Latency” to avoid bad latency.
Note: This may increase CPU utilization.
- The driver uses optimal interrupt moderation values for 10 GbE
SR-IOV VF scenario. For other scenarios, the optimal values yet to be found.
- While running in a Virtual Machine (working with VF) or in a Native Machine, performance counters,
if read directly or by using any tool (as Windows Task Manager), may show that no packet has been sent/received.
This happens because the driver periodically examines the actual performance counters and caches the results.
If the sample rate is too high, the counter values will remain the same.
- Perf Tuning does not allocate RSS cores correctly on all profiles when being used on a platform with more than one Processor Group.
User should apply manual tuning via PowerShell.
- UDP latency increases from 13.5usec to 15.9 when ECN is enabled.
-IPoIB IPv6 over KVM/ESXi is not supported

- Hyper-V
- 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.
Reattach the vSwitch to sync with the value set in the ETH\IPoIB device.
- 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.
- 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.
To use the non-VMQ mode for a VM, change its settings as follow:
- Press "Settings" on the VM
- Go to Network Adapter -> Hardware Acceleration
- Un-check the "Enable virtual machine queue"
-On hypervisor, when one Ethernet port is bind to vmswitch in which SR-IOV is enabled, Network Direct applications do not work on the second port.

- SR-IOV
- Working with Windows guest OS over non-Windows SR-IOV hypervisor may result with higher latency compared to Windows Hypervisor.
- When working with OEM adapter cards in SR-IOV mode, the VF is identified as a Mellanox adapter. There is no other effect on the behavior of the VF.
user should verify that the FW INI contains the parameter vf_subsystem_id with the OEM encoding in the [HCA] section.
- An SR-IOV Virtual Machine is loaded in InfiniBand mode when no OpenSM is available in the subnet. The following event appears in the event log:
“detected a null port GUID for port . A Virtual Function device may have a null port GUID if there is no OpenSM instance on its network.
Please make sure the network has an active OpenSM and restart the driver.”
User should start the OpenSM and restart the driver.
- For InfiniBand SR-IOV guest, OpenSM Assigned GUIDs are not supported and may cause unexpected behavior
User should work only with Administrator assigned GUIDs.
- For InfiniBand SR-IOV guest, ND traffic does not work on an SR-IOV adapter when a Para-Virtualization adapter configured on the same virtual machine and the same subnet as IPoIB.
User should disable the Para-Virtualization adapter.
- In SR-IOV mode over Hyper-V, all ports are in pure Ethernet mode and RDMA is not supported on either port.
- In SR-IOV mode, enabling SR-IOV in the BIOS may change the interfaces names.
If any VSwitch is bounded to an interface whose name was changed, there will not be any way to perform any operation on them.
User should unbond all Vswitches from the NIC's interfaces before enabling SR-IOV in the BIOS.
- In SR-IOV, 40Gbps interfaces of vSwitch interface on HyperV, and the VMNIC are identified as 10Gbps. Despite the incorrect speed identification,
they still achieve 40Gbps performance.
- Device name in the Device Manager does not show the correct OEM branding for SR-IOV Virtual Function devices without the updated firmware
- On Hyper-V machines with SR-IOV VSwitch, the amount of resources available to the host for RDMA purposes is limited.
Detach the SR-IOV VSwitch from the Mellanox NIC
- The driver fails to load on guest machine with Windows 10 and Inbox driver 4.91 when in SR-IOV mode.
Since SR-IOV mode in v5.25 driver does not support Windows 10 old Inbox driver (4.91), we recommend you update your driver with the latest version of Windows 10.
-Virtual Ethernet Adapters (VEA) disabled by default since SRIOV is enabled by default. When upgrading to WinOF v5.22, Virtual Ethernet Adapters will become nonfunctional.
Before upgrading from an earlier version than WinOF v5.22, make sure to disable SR-IOV. For further information on the registry key, please refer to the “SR-IOV Registry
Keys” section in WinOF User Manual.

- Installation / Upgrade
- Upgrading the driver while the UI is opened with the "ConnectX NIC device"
may cause the installation process to never end.
Close the UI before driver upgrade.
- Rebooting the machine reboot while uninstalling WinOF, may result in
installation failure.
Delete Mellanox components from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion\DIFxApp\Components.
The Mellanox components are mlx4eth63, ipoib6x and mlx4_bus
- 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)”.

modified as follow:
- SendCompletionMethod = 0
- Upon upgrade the following IPoIB Registry Keys will be deleted:
- UseRSSForRawIP
- UseRSSForUDP
- Uninstalling the driver on Windows Server 2008 R2 with LBFO configuration
results in the appearance of a pop-up window requesting to close several
running applications.
Choose "Do not close applications”. This action allows the uninstallation
of the driver. A Reboot may be required.
Rebooting the server before uninstalling the driver when LBFO is configured
will eliminate this pop-up completely.
- Running a downgrade in silent mode is not supported. Upon downgrade the
return code will always be 0.
- Uninstalling the driver after upgrade won't remove the directory
%ProgramFiles%\Mellanox
- Uninstalling the driver when multiple of VLANs are con- figured never
ends.
- The installation process does not close any applications running in
the background, and may cause a BSOD as a result of a stuck cmd.
It is recommended to close all running applications prior to upgrading
the driver.
- Installation/upgrade fails due to PNP failure to copy the driver files
to the driver store, and the following text is printed in the event logs:
Fault bucket, type 0
Event Name: PnPDriverImportError Response: Not available
Attached files: C:\Users\\App-
Data\Local\Temp\DMI151A.tmp.log.xml C:\Program Files\Mella-
nox\MLNX_VPI\ETH\mlx4eth63.inf
To solve it reboot the machine and reinstall.
- Installation/upgrade fails due to failure to stop the WMI service.
The following text is printed in the installation log:“CustomAction
StopWMIService returned actual error code 1603”
- Users should kill the WMIPrvSE.exe tasks in the task manager and reinstall.
- Following the upgrade of Mellanox driver to WinOF-4.60 and above or on servers
with no internet access, the first PowerShell command might be stuck for ~2- 3
minutes before its completed.
According to the following content, this issue is related to .Net framework
version or an issue with the internet access:http://www.minasi.com/forum/
topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=39253.
users should Run the following script on the server to optimizes loading

$pt = $_.Location
if (! $pt) {continue} if ($cn++) {''}
$na = Split-Path -Leaf $pt
Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "NGENing $na"
ngen install $pt}
- On ConnectX-3 cards only, when upgrading from Windows 2012R2 Inbox driver
to WinOF, the RoCE mode setting in the registry is not properly transferred
to the new driver.
In case a non-default value was used it will not be configured following
the upgrade.
- Uninstall from the Device Manager is currently not supported
- 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.
- 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.
-Driver installation requires deletion of the mlx4_bus.sys file in Windows Server 2008 R2 when using the PXE package.
- If there are disabled network interfaces or a disabled Mellanox bus driver, they will be enabled after the WinOF upgrade.
- The upgrade from WinOF v4.58 to WinOF v4.90 saved only the configuration of the Ethernet interface,
and did not save the configuration of the IPoIB interface.
- Uninstalling mlx4 bus device from the Device Manager results in the removal of performance counters for all WinOF devices.
-The upgrade from WinOF v4.58 to WinOF v4.90 saves only the configuration of the Ethernet interface, and does not save the configuration of the IPoIB interface.
-Using a non-Mellanox HWID will result in losing all NIC configurations when upgrading from a version older than v4.80
-The ucrtbse.dll file is missing in operating systems older than Windows Server 2016. This leads to failure of the installation. The UI and installation log will show messages for all missing updates
• UI Message Example:
“missing windows updates: KB2999226"
• Log File Message Examples:
“CheckWinUpdate: Failed to locate windows update 2999226”
“CheckWinUpdate: please refer to: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226”.
Install Windows update kb2999226. The update files can be downloaded from https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226.

- Utilities
- 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 over- head of creating extra copy for each packet.
This may lead to packet drops on the link.
users should verify Ethernet flow control is enable to ensure a lossless link.
- Pcap file issues for RoCE v1.5:
- The packets 'capture-time' field is wrong (may be 0 or negative numbers).
- For every captured packet, an additional 0 size flame is added. This appears
in Wireshark as a 'malformed Ethernet packet'.
- Sniffing over IB ports is currently not supported.
- When the tracer tool traces many events, it may consume a large amount of memory (up to several GB RAM).
-On servers where Hyper-v role is installed and SR-IOV is enabled, killing the ibdump process will cause a resource leak.
Use CTRL-C to stop the ibdump process, instead of CTRL-Break.

- CIM/WMI
- Running Microsoft CIM cmdlets operations and their derived classes on classes
MLNX_NetAdapterSettingData and MLNX_NetAdapterRoceSettingData is not sup- ported.
Calling those commands may cause the debugger, if connected to the machine, to assert.
Users should use DriverCoreSettings instead.
- For PCI Gen3, PcieLinkSpeed is reported as “Unknown” when running Get-NetAdapterHard-
wareInfo Powershell cmdlet.
- WMI does not work due to lack of permissions.
Users should change the execution policy by running the following command: Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
- The information that is printed in the cmdlets get-netadaptersriov and Get-MlnxPCIDeviceSetting is inconsistent.
Users should use only the cmdlet Get-MlnxPCIDeviceSetting
- CIM command does not function properly in VM in SR-IOV mode.

- ND
- There is an interoperability problem between NDK and ND in RDMA operations during the write and read operations.
However, the send operation resumes working.
This happens since ND uses remote token in a network order (big endian) while NDK uses remote token in CPU order (little endian).
Therefore, an inconsistency is caused between ND and NDK in RDMA operations.
An ND application that works with NDK using RDMA operations must handle this issue by changing the remote token to the appropriate byte order before sending it to NDK.
- When working with the default NDv1 and NDv2 providers, the following error message might be displayed:
0xC0000120 NT_STATUS_CANCELLED
This error does not affect any functionality and can be safely ignored.
- Changing the default ND providers may cause random errors, such as:
0xC0000238 (NT_STATUS_ADDRESS_ALREADY_ASSOCIATED) on Connect() or with 0xC0000236 (NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED) on Accept().
These errors can be safely ignored.

- RDMA
- WinOF contains hardware-specific performance optimization in the form of reduced Memory Translation Table (MTT) footprint for Network Direct applications' Memory Region (MR) buffers (created through INDAdapter::
RegisterMemory() method). This optimization is not implemented for MR buffers that are larger than 2GB.
- Guest RDMA is supported only in a VM with a single VF.
-When RDMA is enabled on a Virtual Machine in SR-IOV mode, vstat will always show that port state is done even though the port is up.

- MLX4_BUS
-Driver fails to load on a server with more than 4TB Ram.
1. Set the following registry key: Reg path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\mlx4_bus\Parameters
Reg key name: LogNumMttOverride
Reg key type: DWORD
Reg key value: 1
2. Restart the device.

- IPoIB
-NDK on the Guest Virtual Machine is not functional after restarting the bus driver in the host.
Restart the bus driver in the Guest Virtual Machine
-The IPoIB driver may stall upon disabling, due to a non-zero reference count in TCP\IP stack.
-Errors that may occur during initial driver start in the DriverEntry function do not appear in the event log. These errors will be indicated by a yellow exclamation mark on the device, with code 37.
Parsing the etl file provides the required information

- MTT
-The Memory Translation Table (MTT) optimization feature is disabled for memory regions larger that 2GB.

-ConnectX-3,CONNECTX-3 PRO
-Windows 2016 mistakenly recognizes ConnectX-3 Pro card as a USB interface. This may disconnect the network and cause failure of critical network services.
-When configuring ConnectX-3 Pro single port via the driver, the RDMA connection fails.
-ConnectX-3/ConnectX-3 Pro bus driver counters and Ethernet driver counters are not available in Windows 7 Client/Windows 2008R2.

- OpenSM
-Using the non default subnet prefix with an OpenSM version older than OpenSM4.7.0.MLNX20160911.bbbe503 may cause link loss after subnet prefix change on the IB switch.
For the feature to work properly, use the last OpenSM GA version on the switch.

- Event log
-Several error messages from the mlx4_bus may appear in the VM Event Log. These messages (104, 122, 144) do not indicate any error, and can be safely ignored.

-Vlan_config
-Vlan_config tool allows to modify the vlan name to a name which is invalid by the vlan_config addvlan command.

-VF
-A VF can initialize only one Comm Channel: either MS Comm Channel or MLNX Comm Channel.

-IPoIB Pkeys, Team
-When removing a PKey that is a part of an IPoIB team interface, the team is disabled and cannot be deleted.

-VM
-The tools’ folder is not added to the path environment variable when installing the driver on a VM.
After installing the driver, perform one of the following workarounds:
1. Go to the Control Panel --> System and Security --> System Click on “Advanced System Settings” (on the right panel) Select “Advanced” and click on the “Environment Variables” button
Click on the OK button in the “Environment Variables” window.
2. Log off or reboot the driver

6.4 WinOF VPI v5.22 Bug Fixes:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Fixed an issue which occasionally caused BSOD when enabling VMMQ on a vport while having traffic from the VM's vport to another host.
The vmswitch was created with SR-IOV enabled but the vport was not.
-Fixed an issue that caused the perf_tuning.exe tool to crash in Windows Server 10 when running a dual-port configuration.

-Fixed an issue which resulted in BSOD 0x1E (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) when the machine had multiple network port
(whether a single physical card with multiple network ports or multiple single-port cards) with some ports configured with SR-IOV enabled, and some with SR-IOV disabled.
-Fixed a wrong multicast attach flow in IPoIB which caused both ports to receive multicast messages sent for one of them. Those packets were dropped
later on and had no effect on the receiving traffic in the wrong destination, but it did increment the "Packets Received Error" counter.
-Fixed the NetworkDirect API INDAdapter::Listen() return status when the requested port was already in use. Changed the status from the non-compliant
ND_INVALID_PARAMETER to the specification-compliant ND_ADDRESS_ALREADY_EXISTS.
-Added a mechanism to ensure that listeners will not receive the same ephemeral port. The driver uses the default range of ephemeral ports 49152 to 65535.
-Fixed an ND applications return status when a Send request failed with RNR. Changed the status from the non-compliant STATUS_DATA_NOT_- ACCEPTED to the specification-compliant STATUS_IO_TIMEOUT.
-Fixed a race in IPoIB multicast management which caused an interface not to re-register on a multicast group after an SM restart. Such behavior resulted in traffic loss.
-Fixed an issue which prevented the 'ibdiagnet --get_cable_info' command from showing information on the cables in remote nodes.

-Fixed an issue which resulted in BSOD when the NIC received illegal OID_RECEIVE_FILTER_QUEUE_PARAMETERS value with QueueID higher than reported.
-Fixed an issue which prevented the TEAM interface and the VLAN interface to send and receive traffic at the same time. Now both the TEAM and the
VLAN interfaces work at the same time where the TEAM interface handles all untagged frames and the VLAN interface handles the tagged frames.
-Fixed an issue causing BSOD upon driver restart in VM.
-Added to VSTAT the ability to show the ports’ state in all port configurations (e.g. Ethernet, RoCE) and for several cards.

-Disabled encapsulation offload capabilities for VFs regardless of the device capability to support it.
-Added event-viewer message to identify "PortType" registry in case the port is configured for a unsupported type. For example if the device supports
only Ethernet and the port is configured for IB the event-viewer message will be displayed.
-Fixed a bluescreen issue caused by calling NDK_FN_DISCONNECT on a not connected NDK_CONNECTOR.
-Fixed an issue causing the IP fragmentation not to function properly, consequently discarding large packets, when SR-IOV was turned ON and the
"Jumbo Packet" field on the "Advanced" tab of the Ethernet driver's properties (indevice manager) was set to 9602 or more.
-Modified the event viewer-log message displayed when the PCI virtualization does not support SR-IOV. The new message is: "SR-IOV cannot be
enabled due to an error in the PCI_VIRTUALIZATION_INTERFACE. Possible reason, the machine does not support SR-IOV."
-Fixed an issue causing the system to crash when creating a team from the GUI.
-Fixed an issue where the TTL setting for the RDMA traffic could not be changed.
The current solution is now defined as follows:
1. The driver will look for private parameter in ibbus\parameters\DefaultTTL
2. If it does not exist, it will take it from TCP/IP configuration (tcpip\parameters\DefaultTTL)
3. If not found, it will use TCP/IP default of 128
-Fixed an issue which resulted in interface disabling failure, and system crash when disabling the system, when multi-streams of sent fragmented/small packets could not be sent/returned to the OS.
-Fixed an issue causing a Black Screen in Windows guest OS running over non-Windows SR-IOV Hypervisor with two IPoIB adapters when the OpenSM was not running.
-Fixed wrong packets handling when the number of fragments equals the maximum allowed which resulted in a crash when the fragments array was higher then the allowed value.
-Fixed an OpenSM issue which caused the driver to crash.
-Fixed an issue which caused the drivers to not work properly or crash as a result of setting values lower than the their default value.
-Fixed an issue causing memory leakage when uninstalling the PF driver when vSwitch is connected to the device.
-Fixed a performance tuning issue when using the "Performance" tab in the Advanced property page. Performance tuning did not work as expected on
certain systems that have processor groups enabled. Users saw unexpected RSS CPU's assigned. Now the following event log can be seen in logs: “Detected issues with Processor
groups on the system that may cause performance degradation. Disable processor groups for best results."
-Fixed an issue where NDv2 adapter query reported MaxInlineData-Size as zero regardless of the device’s capability.
-Fixed synchronization issue between NDK OIDs and driver's halt command. The driver started unloading before all the NDK OIDs were completed causing unexpected behavior in the system.
-Fixed an issue that caused the system to hang when the driver failed to allocate contiguous memory on driver load.
-Fixed wrong MAC creation from GUIDs that start with E4 D1 D2. In addition to applying the GUIDMask, the bug used to alternate the first byte of the created MAC.

-Fixed a rare issue where system would crash when miniport driver is reset.
-Fixed an issue where driver could falsely indicate that the device is stuck in extreme CPU load conditions.
-Fixed the issue of VF miniport reset that used to be caused by OIDtimeout of OID_GEN_CURRENT_PACKET_FILTER.

-Fixed the issue where encapsulation settings (NVGRE+VLXAN) were not restored after reset.
-Fixed possible system crash when upgrading from v5.00 to a newer version.
-Fixed a race between VMQ and pkey table initialization. This issue may have occurred on a setup on which a V-Switch is defined on a virtual interface (created via the part_man tool) with a non default pkey.
-Fixed the issue where it was possible to install the Microsoft Azure 2012R2 package on older Operating Systems.
-Fixed a mismatch in the way the performance tuning and IPoIB create a MAC from a device GUID. This mismatch may have caused the performance tuning to fail finding the correct MAC for GUIDs that do not start with 0002c9, which
used to result in a failure to choose the best NUMA for them.
-Fixed an error which could cause a freeze of the drivers in the startup in a VM with several VFs.
-Fixed the issue where deleting a team that has VLANs attached to it would fail on Windows 10 Operating System.

-Fixed a race which caused some of the configurations to be badly reinitialized during VM or host transition to VMQ mode. This bug used to cause loss of communication to the affected VM or host.
-Fixed an issue where adding VLANs would fail because the driver’s internal table was not cleaned up correctly upon VLAN removal.
-Fixed a memory leak caused by a race between successful finish of a Management Datagram (MAD) and canceling it.
-Fixed the adapter name in command vea_man to not be case sensitive,. For example: vea_man -a ethernet9 is now the same as vea_man -a Ethernet9.
-Fixed the issue when after removing the Virtual Ethernet Adapter, some registry keys would remain.
-Fixed the issue of when Query Path Record (QPR) option is set, a race condition occurs. The race would be between the handling of received packets and the response to the path query to the new destination. This could cause losing packets received from a new source because the path query for it was not yet finished.
-Fixed the Query Path Record list handling to prevent dou- ble entering of the same destination. This bug may have caused list corruption which led to unexpected results.
-Fixed the issue of when BSOD may occur when running with two HCAs and using sminfo when no Subnet Man- ager is available.
-Fixed the issue of when creating virtual IPoIB PKey interfaces with HP cards using part_man.exe utility was not possible.

Emulex OCe11xxx UCNA Firmware Package
===============================================================================

Firmware Version: 11.2.1193.76
Supported On: System x Rack, BladeCenter, and Flex

Problems Fixed:
- None

Incremental Interoperability:
- RHEL7 Update 3 Support
- SLES12 SP2 Support
- Windows 2016 Support
- VMware ESXi 6.5 Support

Known Issues:
- Server hangs at "Scan for Fibre Devices", when port disable/enable performed
on the Brocade Converged 10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter.
Do not force the link down after POST has completed and then attempt a
discovery of the SAN. If you do a reboot is needed.(159125)

- To disable BFS after BOFM or IFM have been enabled, it must be done by
setting BFS manually in the EFIBoot config utility or sending a BOFM default
command to the port. This is working as expected and we are documenting it
here.(159505)

- Intermittently, 255 vPorts can not be created successfully in Windows with
the error "ERROR: <127>: Not enough HBA or fabric resources. VPort not
created!". There is no known workaround other than to reduce the number
of configured vPorts.(155807)

- Target login will fail if you dynamically reconfigure the SAN after POST has
executed. If you do, then reboot the system.(159121)

- IFM Boot target is consumed on a particular port even though the target is
not accessible to that port. IFM/BOFM boot target configuration is not
supported. This limitation has existed for several code releases and we are
now documenting it here.(159226)

- The server may hang at "Connecting Boot Devices and Adapters" if both FCoE
ports have boot targets configured when using a 10Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru
Module for IBM BladeCenter. The server will not hang if only a single port
is configured with a boot target.(157137)

- In FCoE configurations with BE3 in UFP mode on System x3690 X5 servers, a
UEFI rescan is required to boot to the OS. This renders UFP not supportable
in UFP/FCoE configurations(158669)

- 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.

- When modifying configuration values for an iSCSI target, attempting to save
the target with any invalid values may result in all values for that target
being cleared. If this occurs, re-add the target using only valid configuration
values. Please consult the Emulex Boot Manual for a description of valid
configuration values.

changes were made. This pop-up can be ignored and will be fixed in a future
code release.(159086)

- The server may hang at "Connecting Boot Devices and Adapters" if both FCoE
ports have boot targets configured when using a 10Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru
Module for IBM BladeCenter. The server will not hang if only a single port
is configured with a boot target.(157137)

- FCoE VLAN ID is being displayed incorrectly as hexadecimal in UEFI menu.
This is a cosmetic issue only. The correct VLAN is properly assigned, so
there is no functional impact. The actual VLAN ID can be observed elsewhere.
(159561)

Firmware Version: 10.2.261.36
Supported On: IBM System x, BladeCenter, and Flex

Problems Fixed:
- FRU VPD fields are now properly populated on CN4054 and CN4054R
- Fixed UE resulting slow boot at UEFI splash screen and NIC devices removed
- When using VMQ with Windows Server 2012 or 2012R2, the user may experience
VM connectivity loss, packet drops, system hangs, inability to shutdown VMs
and possible system crashes on shutdown. The complete solution also
requires 10.2 based Windows NIC driver.

Incremental Interoperability:
- Inventory support for the Flex xHMC (Chassis Hardware Management Console)

Known Issues:
- Server hangs at "Scan for Fibre Devices", when port disable/enable performed
on the Brocade Converged 10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter.
Do not force the link down after POST has completed and then attempt a
discovery of the SAN. If you do a reboot is needed.(159125)

- To disable BFS after BOFM or IFM have been enabled, it must be done by
setting BFS manually in the EFIBoot config utility or sending a BOFM default
command to the port. This is working as expected and we are documenting it
here.(159505)

- Intermittently, 255 vPorts can not be created successfully in Windows with
the error "ERROR: <127>: Not enough HBA or fabric resources. VPort not
created!". There is no known workaround other than to reduce the number
of configured vPorts.(155807)

- Target login will fail if you dynamically reconfigure the SAN after POST has
executed. If you do, then reboot the system.(159121)

- PXESelect showing incorrect MAC address, bandwidth & SVID values. This bug
is a cosmetic issue and only impacts PXESelect. The values which are not
displayed correctly in PXESelect can be viewed in UEFI, OCM, and on the
switch.(151140)

- IFM Boot target is consumed on a particular port even though the target is
not accessible to that port. IFM/BOFM boot target configuration is not
supported. This limitation has existed for several code releases and we are
now documenting it here.(159226)

- "Configurations have changed" message seen in UEFI setup screen when no
changes were made. This pop-up can be ignored and will be fixed in a future
code release.(159086)

- The server may hang at "Connecting Boot Devices and Adapters" if both FCoE
ports have boot targets configured when using a 10Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru
Module for IBM BladeCenter. The server will not hang if only a single port
