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.

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 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.

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 S2600WP. Halfwidth projects will auto load de-pop SKU SDR when PBA# of FRU is G49054-XXX. =============================================================================== BMC changes in 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 =============================================================================== BMC changes in 01.04.2774 =============================================================================== - Fixed: Fixed issue where during reboot the BMC was not disabling the i2c-4 channel, resulting in spurious SEL entries from the Management Engine. - Fixed: New FW drop for the PMAX issue in PSU FW for 750W, 1200W S3/00 revisions. - Fixed: Additional FW drop for i2c timeout issue - 2nd timeout happening after a i2c reset for 750W, 1200W S3/00F - Fixed: Fixed issue with bridging commands to ME via BMC IPMI. - Fixed: Updates SDR for some boards to newest versions: - S2600WP IB/De-pop SKU to version 00.08 - S2600WP IB/De-pop SKU to version 1.03 - S2600CP to version 1.03 - S2400GP to version 1.00 - Fixed: VCCQ VR temperature sensors were not working in S2400BB - Fixed: Duplicated warning event logged about senor unavailable generated during ME update - Changed the BMC to not count update mode codes against the management subsystem health sensor. - Fixed: Login through SMASH with LDAP authorized user and password failed - Enabled the use of LDAP authorization for SMASH logins to BMC. To use this there must be an LDAP server (not the BMC) which can authorize a user with a given password, and the BMC must be configured to allow LDAP with that server, and to map to an allowed set of functions. - Fixed: IPv6 auto-configure mode not working - Fixed: Initialized Node Presence pins as Output-High for S2400LP, S2600WP, and S2600WP. - Fixed: IPv6 ping failed after LAN failover enabled - Fixed: When the Onboard NIC 1 is disabled in BIOS the system fans boost - Fixed: RMS25CB080 SAS Mod Temp sensor has Unknown Health/Reading - Fixed: ME events are not interpreted in Embedded Web Server SEL log - Fixed: S2600WP PSOC HSBP temperature sensor intermittently unavailable during node hotplug - Added: The BMC will now check the most significant bit (bit 7) of the PSU FW major revision number. If it is set to 1 then the BMC will refuse to downgrade the supply to any earlier revision. - Added since power supply stability issues can arise if power supplies are updated to an earlier revision of the power supply FW. This ONLY applies for this revision of BMC and later. =============================================================================== BMC changes in 01.03.2674 =============================================================================== - Fixed: Update SDR of S2600CP to version 1.02. - Fixed: Update SDR of W2600CR and S2600IP to version to 1.02. - Fixed: Updated PSU FW for 1200W CRPS (S3 and 00 model) to correct the issue in S2600WP system, where system shuts down under certain conditions. - Fixed: The description of a memory thermal trip event is incorrect. - For S2400SC and S2400LP, CPU1/2 DIMM channel 0 is not used. When DIMM thermal trip events are found on CPU1 they should show in the SEL as "CPU1, DIMMA", and when found on CPU2, as "CPU2, DIMMD" - Fixed: It is hard to enter BIOS Setup via press F2 in KVM console when using LAN2. - Fixed: An error dialog box pop-up was appearing when accessing the Alerts page on platforms that only support a single onboard shared NIC. - Fixed: The fault reason is "Temperature has crossed critical value" on Virtual Front Panel when SUT was powered off due to processor thermal trip. - Sensor severity for thermal trip was incorrect. It should now read "Thermal fault" on VFP when the system under test powers off due to processor thermal trip. - Fixed: Dump debug file with non-redundant PSU, no information in PEC feature support status. - When installing a non-redundant PSU, an advisory is now added to the system debug log. - Fixed: Alerts taking 10 seconds after an AC cycle. - Fixed: On Half Width Form Factor platforms one Node reports raid rebuild that happened on another Node, these two Nodes share a HSBP. - Fixed: Seeing excessive Frame Errors on RMM4 PHY when EEE (energy efficient ethernet) function was enabled. - When RMM4 PHY EEE (energy efficient ethernet) is enabled, receive frame errors increased to an unacceptable level. EEE has been disabled. - Fixed: Voltage 1.1V Standby monitoring for W2600CR, S2600IP, and S400GP not supported while in standby mode. - Added: Node Auto-Shutdown behavior has been defined for multi-node systems (S2600WP, S2400LP, S2600WP). "BMC will turn off designated nodes in event of PS failure resulting in PSU not able to supply enough power and throttling the node. Based on BIOS setup and slot position of the board, BMC will forcefully shut down the node throttling due to PSU not supplying enough power." - With a properly configured system where nodes have a shutdown policy configured in BIOS to permit it, the last two nodes in the chassis can be shut down rather than running in a degraded state, allowing the remaining node(s) to work at full efficiency to complete tasks. =============================================================================== BMC changes in 01.02.2608 =============================================================================== - Fixed: This build will be tested with the 041 BIOS release. - Fixed: Updates to the zip-bundled FRUSDR packages are provided as follows: - S2600CP_FRUSDR_100.zip updated to S2600CP_FRUSDR_101.zip - S2600CO_FRUSDR_1.00.zip updated to S2600CO_FRUSDR_1.01.zip - S2600GZ_FRUSDR_08.zip updated to S2600GZ_FRUSDR_100.zip - S2600JF_FRUSDR_1.00.zip updated to S2600JF_FRUSDR_1.01.zip - S2400LP_FRUSDR_11.zip updated to S2400LP_FRUSDR_13.zip - S2400SC_FRUSDR_23.zip updated to S2400SC_FRUSDR_24.zip - S2600JP_FRUSDR_06.zip updated to S2600JP_FRUSDR_07.zip - Updated W2600CR and S2600IP SDR version to 1.01 - Fixed: The Chassis Intrusion flag is cleared when a Get Chassis Status command is processed. - The Get Chassis Status command now reads the state of the sensor rather than the value of the flag, when reporting chassis intrusion state. - Fixed: Restores the Cipher Suites and features for RMCP+ which had been added then removed. - Fixed: BMC NVRAM incorrect after DHCP configuration - Fixed: Reduce RMM4 link speed on some platforms for EMI reductions. - On platforms S2600CP, S2600IP, W2600CR, S2600CO, S2400GP, S2400SC, and S1400FP, RMM4 Dedicated Management NIC should only connect at 100MBps. - Fixed: For S2600WP and S2600WP changed RGMII drive strength to correct EMI issues. - Fixed: There is an error message on Virtual Front Panel page when logging into Embedded Web Server with user privilege. - When logging in with an account which only has the "user" privilege set, the "wait" status should not be displayed for the Virtual Front Panel. - Fixed: The format of memory location error message in Embedded Web Server is different from SELviewer. - Fixed: Update FW under EFI Shell using wrong package will cause a hang at "BMC Firmware Update Status". - If update fails it should now provide an advisory as expected. - Fixed: S2400LP systems could experience an "NMI activated-system halted" error during system reset. - Fixed: Embedded Web Server - "LOADING...PLEASE WAIT" is not displayed when clicking the refresh link. - There was text that was white on a white background. This is redundant, as the moving gif is visible, and an accepted form of loading indicator. This removes the invisible text. - Fixed: When BMC is booting the on board Status LED is solid Green, the FP Status LED is off. - For S2600CO, when BMC is booting, the on board Status LED and FP status LED now follow the same blink and color status values as other platforms. - Fixed: Static IPs are still retained when all the LAN 1 & LAN 3 IP set to DHCP - Fixed: Reading more than 106 bytes from ID ROM caused an error if the IPMI requests was sent via RMCP - Fixed: Alerts taking 10s after an AC cycle. - Fixed: The last two SEL record datas retrieved by iHC are incorrect when the SEL is full. - Fixed: Clear the SEL and issue Get all SEL Entries using wget in Linux, the response is incorrect. - Fixed: Clear the events, there is no Hex version of "the log area has been cleared" when reading events using wget. - Fixed: The last SEL record data retrieved by iHC was missing compared with the selviewer tool. - Fixed: SEL/Power/FWver handlers are not giving error response for iHC negative testing. - Fixed: Channel Access Disabling command not working correctly. - Channel Access flag was not checked before sending the PEF entry. This was causing some alerts to be lost. - Fixed: Power Supply Sensors can get disabled on non-master half-width boards - Power Supply Sensors on Half Width boards could be disabled and not re-enabled. =============================================================================== BMC changes in 01.01.2484 =============================================================================== - Fixed: S1600JP Porting code checked in - Fixed: Added FRU id for external fan controller board detection. - Fixed: Updated S2400EP Default.sdr and FCT.sdr according to 1.0 sys config table - Fixed: Fixed ID LED issue broken by fix for chassis issue - Fixed: HSBP changes: for half-width backplanes, a complex formula decides which BMC will act as CMM for the chassis. Added new logic in CMC to monitor and grant the PSoC* ownership every 10 seconds. This should prevent deadlock issues. - Fixed: Implemented FWupdate status sensor to log BMC build id (binary) and ME build id (bcd) plus decoding logic has been added in Embedded Web Server - Fixed: Modified as per the latest S4600LH SGPIO table - Fixed: Updated FCT and Default SDRs as per the S4600LH latest FSC sheet - Fixed: Updated S4600LH Default.sdr and FCT.sdr according to config table 1.0 - Fixed: Modified the Bus number for external fan board FRU - Fixed: Updated S2400SC Default.sdr and FCT.sdr - Fixed: SDR S2600WP IB/Depop Factory SDRs are updated to V1.01 - Fixed: SDR Update Default/FCT.sdr of S2600CP to version 1.01. - Fixed: SDR Update Default/FCT.sdr of S2600CO to version 1.01. - Fixed: SDR Update Default/FCT.sdr of W2600CR/S2600IP to version 1.01. - Fixed: SDR Update S2600WP IB/Depop factory SDRs to V0.07 - Fixed: S2600KI BMC specific: SOL - last couple characters not echo'ed back, fixed - Fixed: In Embedded Web Server cannot see the RMM4 LAN alerts setting when using IDA to set it. - Corrected the alert entry and destination selector configuration similar to IDA, so configuration by Embedded Web Server will be visible to IDA and vice versa. - Fixed: W2600CR: IPMITOOL cannot activate SOL session, with console redirection enabled via serial port B - Fixed: W2600CR: DPCCLI cannot be redirected to the serial B output with the console redirection enable on serial port B - W2600CR board doesn't have COM port COMA, SOL was failing because default port was COMA. Now checks for COMB as well. - Fixed: Debug dump now contains BMC revision number. - Fixed: Removed almost all BMC centric debug dump from the regular file. Also, removed memory info and processes info in the regular debug dump file. - Fixed: No information about support PEC in debug file. - Add information about support PEC in debug file - Fixed: Send IPMI command to Read Platform Debug Log file has response "C1" - Command to Read Platform Debug Log file was returning Normal Completion in a circumstance where it should have returned invalid command (C1) - Fixed: Stop the PSU fan, system status LED blink green. after a while, it return to solid green, but the PSU FAN still remain stopped - Updates to PSU Firmware for 460W and 1200W 00 & S3F power supplies - Fixed: The VR Watchdog Timeout sensor will auto re-arm within 1 second when system power good is deasserted and held deasserted - When the VR timeout event was asserted, the VR timeout flag was cleared. It resulted in a deassertion in the next sensor scan. Will not clear the flag until the VR power good# is asserted - Fixed: S2400SC: When causing a CPU 2 fan failure ,the rear fan fault LED will turn to solid amber - CPU2 FAN fault LED and Rear FAN fault LED SGPIO number was swapped, resulting in incorrect LED lighting amber when one or the other failed - Fixed: There are some failures in the VLAN ID stress test . - VLAN config fixes: - VLAN ID was not always being read back correctly. - Fixed to return IPMI value for VLAN ID, not stale value - Fixed VLAN Priority to work like all the other network parameters - Fixed IPv6 support - Fixed setting IPv6 to DHCP on web, which was erroneously returning IPMI Error 213 - Fixed: The Virtual Front Panel chassis ID LED blinking frequency is not synchronized with the front panel chassis ID LED - Virtual Front Panel was not reflecting chassis ID LED blink. It now detects and replicates this - Fixed: There is a "BB +1.1V STBY low critical" event in SEL after AC cycling the SUT - 1.1V Standby voltage senor generating unwanted events when AC was removed with DC power on. Root caused to the 1.1V Stby voltage rail dropping very rapidly when AC is removed from a system that has DC power on. The BMC runs for a longer period so it saw the voltage drop out and generated events for it. Fix is to ignore voltage lower threshold crossings on this sensor if AC power is removed with DC power on. - Fixed: Issue "Set CR Configuration" command with invalid value, the response isn't the correct error code - Was setting the user specific ranking. Ranking should be unique and less than number of working PS, should reject invalid numbers now. - Fixed: S2600WP: MBE/DBE memory error did not sent SNMP and Email Alerts - Fixed: Continuous Add SEL requests via KCS or IPMB leads to BMC auto-reset - Fixed: Fwpiaupdt 11 Build 2: BMC update takes too long in all OS and EFI - Fixed: Webserver sometimes shows socket error and does not respond till timeout when buttons pressed in quick succession - The refresh button at the bottom of the sensor reading page wasn't set to disable after a request, allowing for multiple rapid-fire requests with a very large overhead. The refresh button is now locked until the request completes, to prevent ASP floods on the sensor reading page. - Fixed: RMM4 Ping Pong test failing with latest BMC 1.00 - RMCP PING packets with non-0xff sequence were being dropped, but non-0xFF sequence numbers are allowed when the sender wants an ACK reply. - Fixed: Update to BMC 1.0 with boot flag alone, doesn't reflect the boot area version - Fixed: BMC Debug console constantly reporting "Invalid Logical GPIO: 197. Max is 161!" errors - Fixed: S2600KI: DIMM Thermal Margin sensor readings should not be available in OLTT mode - Fixed: Extended SEL severity code for Deassertions has non-informational severity - Added: FRU IDs for PCI Risers 3 and 4 for S4600LH - Added: Initial FRUSDR release package for S4600LH - Added: IO Module 2 support for S4600LH - Added: IO Module 2 temp sensor support for S4600LH - Added: P3 and P4 related voltage sensors support for S4600LH - Added: System fan1 and fan2 sensor numbers for S4600LH baseboard only support - Added: BMC command implemented to read the ID and system fault LED =============================================================================== BMC changes in 01.00.2612 =============================================================================== - First production release of BMC ============================================================================= FRUSDR FEATURES ADDED ============================================================================= S2600WP_1.07: - Install both 'IO Mod Presence' and 'SAS Mod Presence' in any case. - DISPLAY "CPU1 is detected." in any case when Auto-detecting.
