___________________
This FW update package supports Lenovo E810 Clifton Channel dual port SFP product ONLY.
This release includes the following updates:
============================================
Versions:
1) The following E810 images are at NVM 4.22 level.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Device Boot ROM (Option ROM) Firmware (Etrack ID)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ThinkSystem E810-DA2 PCIe 1.3357 80019449
2) NVMUPDATE tool updated to 1.39.32.6 to support new config version.
New features:
- Support RHEL8.7/9.1, ESXi 8.0
- OROM update support in Recovery mode
Description:
With this implementation, the NVM host update flow in recovery mode
should be the same as in the operational mode.
- Defines the IID (Instance IDs) field in the NC-SI packet’s header,
which is used to match responses to requests and to differentiate
between new and retried commands.
Description:
According to the spec, If the IID of the current command is the same as
the previous command’s IID, the command is a "Retried Command" and the
FW shall return the response of previous command (should be done
without re-executing the command). When the IID is different than from
the previous command, the command is executed.
The NC-SI spec is unclear on if the incoming commands IID is compared
to the IID of the previous command received on the same channel,
package or device. This feature defines a transfer to maintaining a
single buffer for the last NC-SI command received on the device per
transmitting interface.
- Add FC-FEC(CL74) support with optical transceiver 25G-SR
- NVMUpdate - only access devices from config file
Description:
The affected component shall only access devices (read/write flash or
registers) listed in config file that match the following criteria:
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE and VENDOR all devices
with specified device ID and vendor ID will be accessed;
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE, VENDOR, SUBDEVICE,
SUBVENDOR all devices with specified 4partID will be accessed,
* if device in config file contains: DEVICE, VENDOR, SUBDEVICE,
SUBVENDOR, REVISION all devices with specified 4partID and
specific revision will be accessed.
Device not listed in config file (do not match the criteria above)
shall be marked as "Update not available' in interactive mode.
- NVMUpdate - OROM update in recovery
Description:
If the device is in recovery mode and has the capability of supporting
for OROM update in recovery mode. it can be updated OROM either from
NVM image or from separate file (FLB).
- RoCEv2 LAG
- FEC auto-detect for CVL LR/SR mode
Description:
Only valid FEC modes will be attempted based on the media and PHY type.
- Enable hardware arbitration
- IPS: 00675913 - FEC Configuration through UEFI HII for 25G CVL adapters
Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00796141 - E810 fails to link with 10/25Gb SFP28 connect to
adapter and 10Gb SFP+ connected
Description:
Connect Lenovo 10/25Gb SFP28 to E810, Lenovo 10Gb SFP+ to switch (CISCO 9K)
Link fails to come up.
Fix:
Change the preserved "inkDefaultOverridess"ields in the NVM image so
that the settings in the NVM images make the firmware to try all the
FEC modes during the link training.
- IPS: 00736066 - [PA_IO Agile-Sprint202209_BDC_Storage_SR655] E810-DA2
OCP ShareNIC cannot obtain DHCP IP under SR655
Description:
BMC failed getting an IP address on the sharenic port of E810-xxvDA2
OCP via DHCP
Fix:
Use proper packageID SDP settings for SDP0 and SDP1
- IPS: 00735574 - [PA_QUR 22C_BDC_SDV_FW_AMD1P_UEFI][RMK-5883]E810-DA4
OCP Ethernet Adapter cannot obtain DHCP IP
Destination:
E810-DA4 OCP Ethernet Adapter cannot obtain DHCP IP.
Fix:
In implementation, use different variables to identify VSI in different
context.
- Both ports are loosing link randomly after dcb-map change
Destination:
The E810 adapter might experience an adapter-wide reset (all ports)
when the DCBx willing configuration change (in firmware managed mode)
propagated from the switch removes a TC that was RDMA enabled. This
typically occurs when removing a TC associated with UP0 because it’s
the default UP that RDMA based it’s configuration on. The reset results
in a temporary loss in connectivity as the adapter re-initializes.
Fix:
FW changes along with changes in SW to allow for RDMA to disable
QueueSets before suspending the removed TCs from the scheduler tree.
Release net.e800.da2.pcie-4.01-1.3282.0-10 includes the following updates:
=============================================================================
New features:
- Support Windows 11
- Support RHEL8.6/9.0, SLES 15SP4
- Support scalable IOV feature (S-IOV) on the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon®
Scalable Processor with the following drivers and OS:
o ice 1.9.11 or later
o iavf 4.5.3 or later
o RHEL 7.9 and 8.5
o SLES 12.5 and 15.3
Note: Please refer to document for more details.
Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00665409 - [IO_Tatlow_BBFV[UEFI] Intel E810-DA2 PCIE Ethernet
Adapter changes do not take effect in network device.
Description:
During POST, in UEFI setup, set "Active Physical Functions" to "PF0"
and save. However, it will still be set to "All" after reboot.
Fix:
Added a check to ensure only PF0 is used during HII value set.
- IPS: 00673260 - E810 OCP adapter fails to link on D-Link switch but
E810 PCIe adapter is able to establish link
Description:
With the same setup, E810 PCIe adapter links up, but E810 OCP adapter
can't link up.
Fix:
Added new section in NVM to match the requirement and bring up link
correctly.
- IPS: 00688647 - BSOD seen on E810 ICEA driver when using SRIOV/RDMA
Description:
A customer has SR645 servers in a cluster running Windows 2019 Hyper-V.
with SRIOV and RDMA. Randomly the server crashes with a BSOD.
Fix:
Updated driver to use correct lock and set correct status of queues in
passive level thread
- IPS: 00711180 - E810-DA2 has no Share NIC feature
Description:
No Shared option and only Dedicated in the field of Network Interface
Port.
Fix:
Uses correct packageID definition in NVM image.
