Download Description

Severity: Critical update

Note: This change history applies to all BIOS and firmware for the IBM and LSI Basic or Integrated RAID SAS controllers. Not all levels were released for all controllers.

Change history

Version 1.41 - Critical update

Contains:

  • BIOS Version 6.22.00
  • Firmware Version 1.18.86

Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where there is a very low probability of experiencing data corruption while under very heavy I/O stress.

Version 1.40 - Suggested

Contains:

  • BIOS Version 6.22.00
  • Firmware Version 1.18.84

Note: Changes from the 6.18.01 BIOS to the 6.22.00 BIOS were specific to functions supported by the 2MB firmware (FW 1.20.00 or higher) which is not supported on the 1MB 1064e chip. However, if your system includes a 2MB 1064/1068 option, such as the IBM SAS HBA (25R8060/25R8071) or the SAS Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter (39Y9190), you should update your onboard 1MB controller to the 6.22.00 BIOS level. Since only one instance of BIOS is loaded during POST for all 1064/1068 controllers, this ensures that the 6.22.00 BIOS will be loaded.

Version 1.20 - Non-critical

Contains:

  • BIOS Version 6.18.01
  • Firmware Version 1.18.84

Functionality:

  • Updated for compatibility with IBM SAS Expansion Card for IBM BladeCenter (39Y9190)
