2) NVMUPDATE tool updated to 1.39.32.6 to support new config version.
This update supports Lenovo ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile products, except DS530.
Important Note: If you choose to install the nvmupdate64e utility manually, please ensure that you install
version 1.39.32.6 or newer.
Earlier versions of nvmupdate64e tool may not be not compatible or include all latest supported features.
New features:
- 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.
Bug fixes:
- XXV710DA2 adapter intermittently lose link when doing DC power cycle test
Description:
XXV710DA2 adapter intermittently lose link when doing DC power cycle
test, this can be reproduced in about 200 DC cycle.
Fix:
When the FW starts to run, the gearbox has to be initialized and
configuration needs to be downloaded from the NVM and applied. If one
of the operation fails the FW will try again (several times). In this
case the configuration failed with the error which was not covered.
Error handling extended in the code to cover all cases
- Package Port Control command with Port Control equals 0x1 works like
reset if link is already up
Description:
In Campbell Pond, send Package Port Control Command to disable the
port, send command to enable it, then send command to enable it again.
The port is down instead of up.
Fix:
Added link status check in package command.
- Link Status Change AEN event is not send after link down
Description:
Sending AEN Enable command with Link Status Change equals true, then
sending Port Control Command with Port Control field equals 0x0 -
disable. There is no event after link down.
Fix:
Changed event rejection condition to response.
- After running reboot 123 times with qtest, slot4 (X710-T2L) shows an error
Description:
Used qtest ro run reboot 123 times, xcc web appears: PCIe Correctable
Error Threshold limit has been exceeded at Segment 0x0000 Bus 0xA8
Device 0x00 Function 0x01.
Fix:
Adjust the replay timer timeout value for different scenarios.
Release 9.0-6.0-1.3266.0 includes the following updates:
==============================================================
New features:
- Windows 10,11 support for X710-T2L/T4L and XXV710
- Support RHEL8.6/9.0, SLES 15SP4
Bug fixes:
- IPS: 00729600 - XXV710 Link issues
Description:
While DC power cycle, the port maybe lose the link
Fix:
When the FW starts to run, retry to configure the Retimer in case of
error.
Note on Firmware Recovery Mode:
When a device is in Firmware Recovery mode it will not pass traffic or allow any configuration; you can only
attempt to recover the device's firmware. A device will enter Firmware Recovery mode if it detects a problem
that requires the firmware to be reprogrammed.
Resolving Firmware Recovery Mode Issues:
If your device is in Firmware Recovery mode you can restore it to factory defaults using the latest NVM
Update Package. Download the latest NVM Update Package from your vendor's support website and follow
the instructions in it.
*** NOTES:
- Before initiating device recovery, the integrity of the host operating system, device drivers
and firmware utilities must be verified and reinstalled if necessary. Fully functional operating
system, device drivers and tools are required for device recovery.
- AC power cycle your system even if the instructions do not indicate that an AC power cycle is required.
A power cycle is required to enable the device to restore and reload critical device settings to enable recovery.
To perform an AC power cycle, do the following:
a. Shut down the system if it is powered up.
b. Unplug all AC power cords from the system.
c. Leave the AC power cords unplugged for 15 seconds to allow the system power supply to discharge completely.
d. Plug in AC power cords to the system.
- Firmware Recovery Mode Errors and Messages:
When a device is in Firmware Recovery mode, the device drivers and preboot software and utilities may log or
display messages such as the following:
a. Firmware recovery mode detected. Limiting functionality.
Refer to the Intel(R) Ethernet Adapters and Devices User Guide for details on firmware recovery mode.
b. Firmware recovery mode detected. Initialization failed.
c. Firmware recovery mode detected. Limiting functionality.
d. PXE-E0C: Firmware recovery mode detected. Initialization failed.

Release: 02/16/2023
===================
E810
-------------
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 "LinkDefaultOverrides" fields 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.
