• PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
• The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
• The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
• In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
• While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
• The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
• ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
• link did not go up after reboot.
• Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
• Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

• Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

• Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver’s teardown.

• CVE-2018-0737- Addressed the issue of vulnerability of the OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm to the cache timing side channel attack.

Issues and workarounds

Browsers

• OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a “regression” in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
• SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8. On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer’s settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.

FIPS

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.

IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

CAC

• In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
• Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
• If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
• It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access.

If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to default port 22 in the Active OA.

• CVE-2018-0737- Addressed the issue of vulnerability of the OpenSSL RSA Key generation algorithm to the cache timing side channel attack.

Issues and workarounds

Browsers

• OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by a “regression” in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
• SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet Explorer11 on Windows 8. On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer’s settings. This issue occurs only on Internet Explorer browsers.

FIPS

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was installed when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant certificate. While operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.

IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is installed on terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

CAC

• In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
• Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
• If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
• It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC.  If something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.  However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without certificate access.

• PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
• The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
• The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
• In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
• While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
• The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
• ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
• link did not go up after reboot.
• Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
• Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

• Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

• Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver’s teardown.

• PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
• The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than 10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range of less than 16 msec.
• The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0” while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
• In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
• While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
• The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active nor armed.
• ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
• link did not go up after reboot.
• Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset to generate 2 completions.
• Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5044:

• Fixed an issue that  prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB bond interface from going to a failover mode 

Fixes in version 2.42.5052:

• Fixed Uncorrectable Machine Check Exception issue. The internal resources for handling packets were not allowed to be flushed when the driver was brought down and occasionally caused Red Screen of Death (RSOD). The fix was applied to the ROM code only and has only external timing influences upon the driver’s teardown.

Problems Fixed:

Addressed an issue where configuring memory to run at 2x refresh rate would still actually operate memory at 1x refresh rate. This issue was introduced with the v2.00 System ROM and did not impact earlier versions of the System ROM. This issue is not unique to HPE servers.

Addressed an issue where the NVMe PCIe Resource Padding option in BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) would not properly allocated sufficient resources to support a NVMe hot add event. In certain configurations, an insufficient amount of resources would have been reserved and a reboot would have been required to detect the presence of the newly added drive.

Addressed an issue where the system would not boot to a USB drive when a non-bootable (non-formatted) drive was also present in the system. This issue only impacts systems configured in Legacy Boot Mode.
