Download Description

• New IBM xSeries firmware and device driver file naming convention

Change history

Firmware Version 2.01a3

New Features

• Enhanced timeout notifications for processing abort failures.

Problems Fixed:

1. All multi-abort I/Os are returned on the same ring from which the ABORT_MXRI command was received.
2. Changed the TRCV response in the abort state to CMD RJT to enable the TRSP to be processed.
3. Corrected errors in the handling of certain buffer list formats in T10 Protection Information (PI) BlockGuard I/Os.
4. Improved the handling of incomplete T10 PI fields in frames received from a target.
5. Corrected an issue with blocked TSEND operations.
6. Corrected a buffer leak issue with RRQ exchanges.
7. Corrected an issue where the T10 PI status fields in an IOCB response were not initialized properly.
8. Corrected an issue in T10 PI pass mode where a CRC was recalculated instead of passed through.
9. Corrected an issue where the TRCV IOCB was de-queued improperly causing a XFR_RDY flood.
10. Corrected an issue where the OXID field was not loaded in the XRI_ABORTED IOCB.
11. Corrected an issue in processing frames with T10 PI fields on odd boundaries. IDLE characters can now be transmitted during phases of acquiring synchronization and topology recognition.
12. Corrected an issue in recognizing whether an EEPROM is present.
13. Disabled T10 PI checks in transmit direction for uninitialized application and reference tags.
14. No_sync on brocade 8G Boluva with lpe1205 during port toggle
15. ELS_REQUEST_CR times out when sending FARP to broadcast address
16. Duplicate remote N_Port_ID and local VPI data
17. NPIV FDISC issue with Cisco switch leaves VPI in Discovering state
18. Compellent Watchdog Timer Feature Request
19. Software Watchdog support for IBM XIV
20. PCIe "Hot Reset" Test Builds
21. Intermittent Boot from SAN failures with IBM Blade Servers using CIOv adapter with embedded Blade Switchs
22. IBM Shark requests new behavior when a frame is received and the HBQ is empty
23. IBM Shark requests special IOCB that indicates a Link Attention occurred
24. Link does not come up when port in P2P connection with a Brocade 300 SAN switch
25. IBM PowerSeries request X build of FW to provide HW Data Interleave feature
26. While doing target side cable pull testing we observed that adapter is not sending RSCN to AIX
27. IBM defect 775960 - HBQ ring index pointers?
28. IBM PowerSeries request X build on 2.00x3r1 test FW
29. LPe1205a-IBM Firmware Changes for IBM Mezz Card
30. IBM Mezz: Firmware writing to incorrect FRU EEPROM offsets
31. IBM Mezz: Thermal thresholds written to VPD EEPROM do not match those in region 20
32. Link up failures with IBM mezzanine card

Dependencies:

The corresponding FC Storport device driver and OneCommand Manager Core-kit (management) will need to be installed for this package to function properly.
