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.

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.
Firmware Version: 10.6.228.36 Supported On: System x Rack
Problems Fixed: - PSOD Heartbeat NMI in VMWare - Bandwidth and SVID are showing as N/A in PXE select utility when 2+2 adapter is in UFP mode - Improved handling of ASU/UCM deployed configurations - 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) - FCoE initiator & target UCM settings are not shown in IMM web GUI (183090) - PXE VLAN config must be supported when multi-channel is disabled (182184) - Cannot PXE boot server when under heavy IO load (188624)
