(Critical update) Broadcom Firmware Update - IBM BladeCenter JS20 (Type 8842)

Download Description

Severity: Critical

Change History

Version 2.45

• Fixed problem where using ASF Boot Options to remotely power-on/reset specific systems (via RMCP remote control commands), would cause the system would freeze during the subsequent boot-up.
• Fixed problem where VLAN packets destinated to BMC will leak to Host.

V ersion 2.44

• Fixed problem where communication to the BMC is lossed while running the Windows load/unload driver test.

Version 2.43

• Fixed problem where firmware cease to work after Windows "Blue Screen" occurred.
• Fixed problem where the system dropped incoming IPMI commands when IP "Don't Fragment" bit is set.
• Fixed problem where ASIC report incorrect Master/Slave mode status.
• Fixed intermittent problem where communication to the BMC is lossed after driver enable/disable.
• Fixed problem where the BMC was not being notified of link changes.
• Fixed problem where fail-over took more that 1 minute to occur.
• Fixed problem where IPMI packets were being lossed when server is powered off.
• Fixed problem where the IPMI code attempts to run with the system saved configuration although the configuration may be corrupted.

Version 2.42

• Modified code to ignore ARP packets with 0.0.0.0 address.
• Added watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is implemented in OS present mode so if driver hangs, firmware can self-reset and operate in non-OS mode. In order to have this function to be working properly, new drivers must be used together. Windows: v8.40 (or later) Linux: 8.3.13 (or later) Solaris: v8.3.0 (or later)
• Fixed IPMI problem where slave mode did not work.
• Fixed problem where fragmented IP packets where sent to the BMC. Now, fragmented IP packets are discarded.
• Fixed problem where IPMI code would respond to ARP requests even when the IPMI-PT is disabled.
• Fixed problem where LOM 2 was returning the system MAC when in embedded mode.
• Fixed problem where the WOL link speed set by the driver was replaced by the IPMI setting causing the link to be re-negotiated.
• Fixed serdes link issue where the link could not be established correctly on some platforms.

Version 2.41

• Fixed problem where link could not be established after Windows shutdown.

Version 2.40

• Fixed problem linking at 1000 when set to force 1000 connection.

Version 2.39

• Fixed problem where IPMI would not work on the 2nd port.

Version 2.38

• Fixed problem where the promiscuous mode setting would get cleared after extended use.

Version 2.37

• Fixed problem where connection to the BMC fails when running driver load/unload test.

Version 2.36

• Fixed port filtering problem where the firmware uses UDP2 value for UDP1.
• Fixed problem with Windows 2003 and ASFIPMon, changing the system IP address requires power cycling the chassis before change would take effect.

Version 2.35

• Fixed problem where Upon cold reset, the Passthru Systme IP address was saved incorrectly.
• Fixed problem where the GetConfig command would only return 31 bytes of data.

Version 2.34

• Fixed problem where the IPMI firmware would respond to ARP request for all IP address regardless if the IP address was assign to the NIC.

Version 2.33

• Fixed WoL problem.

Version 2.32

• Fixed word alignment problem.

Version 2.31

• Fixed problem passing ARP packets to the BMC.
• Fixed WoL problem when IP address is configured as NULL
• Changed power detection code to get information from Bootcode.

Version 2.3

• Initial Release.
