9009-41A (Doc Number=6499): Microcode Update for MTMs 9008-22L; 9009-22A; 9009-41A; 9009-42A; 9223-22H;... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> Updated microcode for Machine-Type Models: 9008-22L; 9009-22A; 9009-41A; 9009-42A; 9223-22H; 9223-42H
System Firmware Level: VL930_068
This package provides firmware for Power Systems L922 (9008-22L), Power System S922 (9009-22A), Power System S914 (9009-41A), Power System S924 (9009-42A), Power System H922 (9223-22H) and Power System H924 (9223-42H. ) servers only.
Note: This Service Pack addresses the following HIPER issues:
HIPER/Pervasive: A change was made to fix an intermittent processor anomaly that may result in issues such as operating system or hypervisor termination, application segmentation fault, hang, or undetected data corruption. The only issues observed to date have been operating system or hypervisor terminations. For some workloads, the change may result in a performance degradation on systems that are less than 50% utilized.
DEFERRED: HIPER/Pervasive: A change was made to address a problem causing SAS bus errors and failed/degraded SAS paths with SRCs or SRNs such as these logged: 57D83400, 2D36-3109, 57D84040, 2D36-4040, 57D84060, 2D36-4060, 57D84061, 2D36-4061, 57D88130, 2D36-FFFE, xxxxFFFE, xxxx-FFFE, xxxx4061 and xxxx-4061. These errors occur intermittently for hard drives and solid state drives installed in the two high-performance DASD backplanes (feature codes #EJ1M and #EJ1D). This problem

Note: This Service Pack addresses the following HIPER issues:

HIPER/Pervasive:   A change was made to fix an intermittent processor anomaly that may result in issues such as operating system or hypervisor termination, application segmentation fault, hang, or undetected data corruption.  The only issues observed to date have been operating system or hypervisor terminations.   For some workloads, the change may result in a performance degradation on systems that are less than 50% utilized.

DEFERRED: HIPER/Pervasive:  A change was made to address a problem causing SAS bus errors and failed/degraded SAS paths with SRCs or SRNs such as these logged: 57D83400, 2D36-3109, 57D84040, 2D36-4040, 57D84060, 2D36-4060, 57D84061, 2D36-4061, 57D88130, 2D36-FFFE, xxxxFFFE, xxxx-FFFE, xxxx4061 and xxxx-4061.   These errors occur intermittently for hard drives and solid state drives installed in the two high-performance DASD backplanes (feature codes #EJ1M and #EJ1D).  This problem pertains to the 9009-41A, 9009-42A, and 9223-42H models only.   Without the change, the circumvention is to replace the affected DASD backplane.
