This is not an attack, it is an update which will take place once. - Fixed: Updated S1400SP SDR, update SAS module presence sensor number to 0x2d - Fixed: S2400BB - Default and FCT version 0.07 SDR files provided. - Fixed: Update FRUSDR package (and defaults) for S4600LH to revision 08 - Fixed: Updated SDRs for S4600LH platform: - Modified and added SDR - Modified HSBP temp SDR threshold values - Corrected problem with S4600LH FRUSDR with Other chassis options that was causing system fan issues. - Some of the sensor numbers used were the same as other platforms, resulting in some erroneous displays of processor fan info. The Sensor numbers have been changed to avoid conflict - Fixed: Adding S1400FP SDR. Updates S1400FP and S1400SP DIMM offsets in the web display, and also adds information on S1400FP Fan Fault LED. - Fixed: BMC sshd password set to invalid by default - Fixed: Additional support for SSL - spec requires that user can upload both certificate and private key, now supported - Fixed: Update U-boot version to 1.8 - Fixed: BMC boot up had a window where BMC HW watchdog was not enabled. - Changed to 4 minutes so that if BMC fails to start, the hardware watchdog will trigger. - Fixed: When the BMC reboots with an active SOL session, the SOL mux was not automatically reset to redirect serial data out the system serial port. This prevented both SOL and system serial from working. Now resets SOL mux at BMC boot to prevent this situation. - Fixed: The PET Acknowledge command was requiring an open IPMI session. As per IPMI spec, this command will be sessionless and belongs to same class as Get Channel Authentication capabilities. - Fixed: Enter Firmware Transfer Mode will generated a unexpected log about FW update status - Fixed: When Exit FW transfer happens after the download of the image (i.e aborted before programming), the update failure sel event was not logged - Fixed: HSBP unresponsive after FW update. - Fixed: HSBP FRU information was sometimes unreadable via IPMITOOL. - Fixed: Combined both debug files into a single zip. Passwords on individual files are unchanged. Container zip has no password. Modified system debug commands to only accept log type 0x00 as a parameter, since there is now only one file generated. - Fixed: BMC disk drive numbering scheme does not match LSI tools (RWC2 and webBIOS) numbering scheme and marketing’s documentation - The BMC was using 1 based drive numbers, while documentation specified 0 based numbers. This change implements the changes for S2600GZ/S2600GL SDR as well as internaming conventions for the sensor numbers. - Fixed: HSBP Drive Slot Sensors report drive removal and insertion on every warm reboot - Fixed: GRUB serial terminal causes BMC distress - Fixed: Get DIMM Offset command was rejecting any DIMM number greater than 48 with completion code 0xCC. - Added: "Get drive fault LED status" and "Set drive fault LED status" IPMI commands - Added: All files required to support the add-in LCD hardware on S2600CP, S2600GL, and S2600GZ have been added. User can now plug in module and traverse the LCD menus by pressing the buttons provided on the LCD hardware module. =============================================================================== BMC Changes in release 01.06.3156 & 00.36.3156 =============================================================================== Note: The update package provided for this release was validated with BIOS release x045. - Fixed: Patch fixes a problem with excessive Power Supply SEL events for 1200W power supplies. - Fixed: Update cipher suite LAN parameters to be consistent with IPMI spec - Fixed: Update S2400LP SDR for factory build, FAN4a~6b was added - Fixed: Changed Node Manager SEL entry descriptions. - Fixed: Update for S2400LP to solve the FAN5a~6b reading zero issue reported by the factory. - Fixed: Update S2400EP Default SDR - Fixed: Add more thorough checking to Embedded Web Server action image validation - Fixed: Update SDR on slave node, PSU temp sensors will be in Disabled status, while other PSU sensors are correct - Fixed: A failed node can't be power-offed gracefully by BMC when there is a simulated critical event of a temp sensor and stopped ystem fan. - Fixed: "Shutdown Policy" available after BIOS update - BMC returned the wrong completion code of 'get shutdown policy' command on non-halfwidth platform. - Fixed: Allow OEM Embedded Web Server image to be completely removed to factory settings - Fixed: SNMP alert and Email alert can't be received when node manager power policy defined threshold is exceededon S2400EP - Fixed: The status LED will be solid amber for a while after an AC cycle on S2400EP, S1400FP, and S1400SP. - Fixed: S2400LP DIMM event SEL does not match with the location in the board. - Fixed: Sometimes the minimum power reading is 0W on the power statistics page - Fixed for all platforms. - Fixed: Unexpected results with PS fault condition(FP Status LED, BMC Sensors) - Fixed: Slow Fan Limit event verification failed on 1200W PSU - Failed Power Supply status was not being maintained. Will not clear the PS Fault status until the Power Good is negated. - Fixed: Read platform debug command after exitng the debug log file transfer mode, the response is failed - Fixed: BMC may hold IPMB CLK low after BMC reset if the BMC is addressed over IPMB and the BMC resets before that I2C transaction completes. - Fixed: BB +1.1V STBY low critical log during DC off - The 1.1V Stby voltage sensor was generating events when the power button was held in over 4 sec. - Fixed: Emulex* Pilot III P02 Chip - Prefetchable bit (BAR10-BIT3) is not set for memory range. - Fixed: S4600LH: Add Memory Trip support for CPU 3 and CPU 4 - Fixed: S4600LH: Updated SDR version to 08. - Fixed: S4600LH: Fixed the System Fans reading. - Fixed: Incorporated generally released Linux driver fixes for bonding-related bugs, glitches, etc. - Fixed: The cramfs tools used in Embedded Web Server image were licensed as GPL, these have been rewritten. In more paranoia was added in image creation, throwing errors if anything but regular files are in the source directory. This prevents symlink and device node attacks. Also added is code to allow for building .deb, .rpm and .msi install packages. Currently the windows installer only does 32-bit, but the linux packages are available in both 32- and 64-bit varieties. Some of these changes are outlined in the updated user document that gets distributed with the binary. - Fixed: Corrects a reaction to bad OEM records in SDR. Previously, this would report an error and reset the entire SDR with default values. This is not required, and the delete step will no longer happen. - Fixed: Modified uboot handling of Enter FW Transfer Mode command to return completion code 0x80 (already in FW transfer mode) if the Enter FW Transfer Mode command has been sent previously. - Fixed: 1200W power supplies were generating spurious Fan Failure events. - Fixed: HSBP FW crash during firmware image updates. - Fixed: PS temperature cannot be read after power cycling over night. - Fixed: BMC boot up has a window where BMC HW watchdog is not enabled -BMC HW WDT was defaulted to trigger after 18 hours. This default timeout has been changed to 4 minutes. - Added: Add a software-only method to replace public key and API to query key info =============================================================================== BMC Changes in release 01.05.2974 =============================================================================== Note: The update package provided for this release was validated with BIOS release x045. - Fixed: Update default SDR of S2600CO to version 1.04. Update default SDR of W2600CR/S2600IP to version 1.03. Update default SDR of S2400BB to version 0.06. - Fixed: Updates PSU FW for 460W CRPS PSU to DPS-460KB A S3 3.09.29 - This version contains a fix to set the SMBALERT interval to 30 seconds. - Fixed: Insert two DIMMs on channel A1 and A2, and inject an ECC error at A1, the event log will record correctable ECC at B1. - S2400GP: The channel number for DIMMS on channel A1 and A2 were being recorded incorrectly as being channel B1 when correctable ECC errors were injected. - Fixed: Sometimes the minimum power reading is 0W on the Embedded Web Server power statistics page. - For S2400SC ME must receive a Reset NM Statistics command upon entering ACPI state S0 to get an accurate minimum power reading. - Fixed: The Hex data of the sel event retrieved by Intel(R) Hybrid Cloud (IHC) is different from those in selviewer. - Fixed: Execute Get DIMM info command to check Empty slot response "0x03" - Per EPS an empty DIMM slot should return 0x83 but was returning 0x03 - Fixed: Perform Action Button is disabled when Graceful OS shutdown option is used in Embedded Web Server - The Graceful OS Shutdown action caused the "Perform Action" button in the Embedded Web Server to be disabled during the process, however it wasn't re-enabled until the user reloaded the page. This change disables the button after any action, and re-enables the button after any power-control action completes. - Fixed: Embedded Web Server Remote Control Page - Message is not consistent across all pages for a User with USER privilege. - Embedded Web Server Remote Control Page: Remote KVM is not available except to users with ADMIN or better privileges. The informational message was not consistent across all pages for a User connected with USER privilege. Logging into the EWS with a non-admin user, and attempting to open an Remote KVM window, will now redirect to a page explaining this. The help page has also been updated with this information. - Fixed: KVM - Help Button - About "Jviewer" copyright statement is wrong. - The copyright date presented by JViewer in the Help->About interaction should now show copyright 2011 rather than 2005. - Fixed: Embedded Web Console: Node Manager page hard shutdown does not seem to be a hard shutdown. - According to the Node Manager documentation, a hard shutdown is used but NM actually attempts a graceful shutdown first, only performing the hard shutdown if the graceful shutdown stalls for 30 seconds. The Embedded Web Server description and help page should correctly indicate that this is the expected behavior. - Fixed: Get Chassis Status command identify LED with wrong status - The Get Chassis Status command was not returning the correct "Identification LED" status. - Fixed: Fans stay boosted after BMC force update followed by SDR update - Fans should no longer boost after updating the SDR after a forced FW update. - Fixed: Empty or Unconfigured HDD will continuously report faulty or assert/deassert - Fixes an issue where a system with ESRTII RAID 5, configured with three HDDs and a fourth installed but set either unconfigured or global-hot-spare, would generate numerous spurious drive fault errors to the System Event Log. - Fixed: Firmware hang if BMC is crashed one time and BMC cold reset is executed 3 times after a crash within 30 minutes. - Fixed: There is a typo error in BMC WebUI help document for "Alert Email" sub-menu - Added: Adds new de-pop PBA (G49054-XXX) for S2600JF. Halfwidth projects will auto load de-pop SKU SDR when PBA# of FRU is G49054-XXX. =============================================================================== BMC Changes in release 01.04.2963 =============================================================================== Note that this release is intended to fix a single issue for the S2400SC platform. It was provided only for that platform. - Fixed: On S2400SC, sometimes the minimum power reading is 0W on the Embedded Web Console power statistics page. ================================================================================ BMC Changes in release 1.04.2896 ================================================================================ - Fixed: Update to PSU FW for 460W CRPS PSU - contains fix to set the SMBALERT interval to 30 seconds. - Fixed: Empty or Unconfigured HDD will continuously report drive faults - There were many spurious drive fault SELs when ESRTII RAID5 was configured with 3 disks and 1 hotspare or an unconfigured disk. This change, with HSBP FRUSDR package 02, will correct the spurious SEL errors. - Fixed: Firmware stuck if BMC is crashed and then a BMC cold reset is executed 3 times within the next 30 minutes ================================================================================ FRUSDR Changes in release 1.08 ================================================================================ - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number 02 "Pwr Unit Redund" Remove De-assertion event from FF00 change to 0000. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number 70/71 "P1 Status"/"P2 Status" Assertion Event Mask/Deassertion Event Mask/Reading Mask to 8200. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number 90/91 P1 VRD Hot/P2 VRD Hot Sensor Capabilities to 40. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number 94~97 P1 MEM01 VRD Hot/P1 MEM23 VRD Hot/P2 MEM01 VRD Hot/P2 MEM23 VRD Hot Sensor Capabilities to 40. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number F0~FE,60~68 HDD 0 Status to HDD 23 Status Assertion Event Mask/Deassertion Event Mask/Reading Mask to 8300. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify sensor number 34/35 'P1 MTT"/"P2 MTT" M = 0x05, B=0x00, Rexp/Bexp = 0xF0. - Update FRUSDR utility Version 11.0 Build 14. ================================================================================ FRUSDR Changes in release 1.07 ================================================================================ - Follow Canoe Pass FSC config sheet Rev (5.4). - S2600CP.sdr: Front Panel temp sensor entity ID from 0x0C to 0x40 in SDR to solve DCMI issue. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify "front panel" FRU Entity ID from 0x07 change to 0x0C. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify "front panel" FRU Entity Instance from 0x37 change to 0x01. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify "Baseboard" FRU Entity Instance from 0x36 change to 0x01. - S2600CP.sdr: Modify "SAS Module" FRU Entity Instance from 0x31 change to 0x01. - S2600CP.sdr: Add SDR Type 11 Record "Pwr Supply 1 FRU". - S2600CP.sdr: Add SDR Type 11 Record "Pwr Supply 2 FRU". - S2600CP.sdr: Add SDR Type 11 Record "HS Backplane 1". - S2600CP.sdr: Add SDR Type 11 Record "HS Backplane 2". - S2600CP.sdr: Add SDR Type 11 Record "HS Backplane 3". - S2600CP.sdr: Modify HDD number. - S2600CP.sdr: Power unit redundancy sensor "Capabilities" change to 00. ================================================================================ FRUSDR Changes in release 1.04 ================================================================================ - Follow Intel(R) Server Board S2600CP FSC config sheet Rev (5.1). ============================================================================= LEGAL INFORMATION ============================================================================= Information in this document is provided in connection with Intel products.
