Updating using your own utility or switches is unsupported, and may leave your HSC in a non-functional state. Firmware Installation Procedure (Requires HSC firmware already running): 1) Unzip the release package, and copy the contents onto removable media. 2) Boot to EFI, and change directories to the release directory. 3) Run the provided 1600HSC211.nsh file. 4) The HSC will receive a boot code update. This could take up to 13 minutes to upload and verify. 5) After verification, the firmware requires 60 seconds to finish updating. The front-panel power and reset buttons will be placed in secure mode during this time. Any attempts to access these buttons will result in security violation entries in the system event log. Please do not reset or remove power from the system during this time as any interruption could leave the HSC inoperable. 6) Please update your BMC's SDR package to the latest version. 7) Please reboot your system. ============================================================================= KNOWN ISSUES/WORKAROUNDS ============================================================================= v2.11: None. v2.10: None. v2.09: 1) FP LED going Amber blinking for Drive Fault doesn't work. 2) HSC update takes around 25mins to update because of 16 bytes updates. v2.08: 1) No release was made v2.07: 1) For 128 bytes FW update support you need to use BMC61 and FWPIAUPD included in the package. v2.05: 1) None v2.02: 1) None ============================================================================ FEATURES ADDED IN THIS RELEASE ============================================================================= v2.11: None v2.10: None v2.09: 1) SEL logging for Drive Fault and Predictive Fault. v2.08: 1) No release was made v2.07: 1) CCB410: Improved HSC FW update by implementing 128 bytes data transfer. v2.05: 1) None v2.02: 1) None ============================================================================= ISSUES FIXED ============================================================================= v2.11 None v2.10: 35822 - [X] HSC misses some SES2/I2C requests causing system crashes v2.09: None v2.08: None v2.07: 127797 Unexpected completion code returned for issuing "Get Enclosure Slot Map" command with invalid beginning slot position. 127798 The reserved bit didn't return 0b 127799 Unexpected completion code returned for issuing "Set Sensor Hysteresis" command with invaild reserved byte. 127800 The assertion/de-assertion event message enabled bits of "Get Sensor Event Enable" for HSBP Sensor number 0x01 are different than FRUSDR package. v2.05: 127081 Read Enclosure Status (SAF-TE) returns undefined bytes 127188 Alcolu_HSC1.41: Typo Error in HSC1.41 Release Notes. 127203 ALHSC1.41:SAFTE Read Enclosure Status Returns Incorrect value 127205 ALHSC1.41: Read Device Slot Status SAF-TE command does not reports a unconfigured Drive. 127360 Drive slot status is incorrect 127372 ALHSC2.02:"Set Sensor Event Enable"command is not working proper. 127373 ALHSC2.02 :SAFTE:"Perform Slot Operation is not working proper" 127371 ALHSC2.02:"Get Sensor Hysteresis" returns invalid response for incorrect hysteresis mask definition 27825 SRCS28X - Fault LEDs on Bensley Non Expander Backplane Blinking on wrong slots v2.02: 126462 Get Fault Status 127030 Set Sensor Hysterisis command returns 0x00 even when incorrect reserved byte is set 127051 Set Sensor Event Enable IPMI command returns succesful completion code even went issued with incorrect number of parameters 127085 Perform Slot Operation SAF-TE command sets the wrong flag 127188 Alcolu_HSC1.41: Typo Error in HSC1.41 Release Notes 127205 ALHSC1.41: Read Device Slot Status SAF-TE command does not reports a unconfigured Drive 127207 ALHSC1.41:perform Slot Operation results invalid response. 127208 HSC1.41:"Set sensor event enable"responding wrong value. 127278 Wrong and no SAS drive detection SEL events 25847 "Read Device Slot Status does not report Prepare For Insertion Or Removal Flag " 25811 "Read Drevice Slot Status SAF-TE command does not report a unconfigured Drive " 26597 HSC FW update directory structure. 26568 HSC update- Secondary Backplane?
