Prerequisites

Following packages must be installed from the respective OS distributions prior to installing the driver
component:
 o Python version 2.7

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in version 5.4:

o To support scalability, function representor channels were limited to 4.However in scenarios when
SF (Scalable Function) was not used, certain use cases required representors to support a large
number of channels.Hence, representor channel limit to 4 was applicable only when a PCI device,
such as Scalable Function support, was enabled.
o Matching on ipv4_ihl (internet header length) was supported only for outer headers.
o When using one counter for both pop/push VLAN actions, the counter value was incorrect. Hence,
Spliting the counter for pop_vlan_action_counter and push_vlan_action_counter.
o Incorrect L3 decapsulation occured when the original inner frame was small and was padded to
comply with minimum frame size of 64-bytes.
o dapl and libmlx4 were needed by libdat2 and libdpdk. In order to remove or update dapl and
libmlx4, their dependencies had to be removed.
o In fork situation, if parent/children processes happen to have samevirtual address, then the
doorbell mechanism did not work well and may led to errors in application behavior.
o An override of log_max_qp by other devices occured if the devices share the same mlx5_core
module.
o A synchronization issue where closing and opening channels (which might happen on
configuration changes such as changing number of channels) may caused null pointer
dereference in function mlx5e_select_queue.
o Enabling tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation had no affect on the driver.
o Old udevd versions could get stuck renaming network devices, leaving interfaces named eth*
instead of enp*.
o Flows with t commit action with ct state -trk were not be offloaded (i.e., table=0,ct_state=-trk,ip
actions=ct(commit,table=1)).
o Connection tracking over VF LAG with tunnel encapsulation/decapsulation was not supported and
caused traffic drop.
o OFED compilation failed when stack size was limited to 1024.
o Setting rate/burst values higher than 2,147,483,648 were rejected.
o Offloaded remote mirroring flows on tunnel device caused forwarded traffic to VF to not be
decapsulated.
o Trying to set VPort match mode on VF
(cat/sys/class/net/enp8s0f2/compat/devlink/vport_match_mode), leads to kernel crash.
o OVS flows were not being offloaded over socket-direct devices.
o When VXLAN was configured and illegal route was added, the system crashed with call trace.
o If any traffic was sent before the netdev went up for the first time, a division by zero caused by a
modulo operation occured in ndo_select_queue, leading to a kernel panic.
o After restarting driver, the x86 host might be in grace period and might not recover on its own.
As part of the fix, 5 FW_fatal recoveries are allowed within the 20-minute grace period. As a
result, the grace period in the devlink health show command will appear as 0 for FW_fatal
reporter.

Enhancements

MLNX OFED v5.4 contains the following changes and new features:

For ConnectX-4 Adapters:

o Updated mlx5 driver to use auxiliary bus in order to integrate different driver components into
driver core and optimize module load/unload sequences.
o WJH (What Just Happened) in NICs: WJH allows for visibility of dropped packets (i.e., receiving
notice of drop counters increase, seeing content of the dropped packets, debugging, and more).
WJH is a service in devlink context and it is already implemented in the switch.
o Note: processing dropped packets (even for visibility purposes) may cause a degradation in
performance and leaves the driver vulnerable for malicious attacks. The feature is disabled by
default.
 o Supported traps:
o VLAN mismatch: existing generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong VLAN tag
o DMAC mismatch: new generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong destination MAC
o Added support for enabling Relaxed Ordering for Kernel ULPs. Using relaxed ordering can improve
performance in some setups. Since kernel ULPs are expected to support RO, it is enabled for
them by default so they can benefit from it.

For ConnectX-4 Adapters and above:

o In MLNX_OFED 5.4 GA, ConnectX-4/5/6 Ethernet network interfaces are now provided with
permanent names. Prior to this release, the default interface names were provided by the kernel
and udevd (ethX) remained as-is. From this release onwards, interface names are generated via
new udevd rules. The generated names are now predictable, and the default names are
automatically renamed to the predictable names by the udevd daemon, according to udev rules
files installed by OFED.

For ConnectX-5 Adapters and above:

o Support to allow OVS (OpenVSwitch) kernel to support up to 128 matches (groups) per table and
16M entries per group.
o Offload ct_state flags rpl, inv, and rel.
o For rpl, support was added for both set and not set matching offload (i.e., +rpl and -rpl).
o For inv and rel, support was added only for the not set option (i.e., -rel and -inv).
o Scalable functions (also called subfunctions):This feature enables the user to create, configure,
and deploy a scalable functions (e.g., RDMA and networking applications) and to assign them to a
container when a container is started via mlxdevm tool.A scalable function can also be deployed
in an untrusted guest/host system from the NIC/DPU. This enables full configuration of the
function and its representors from the NIC/DPU before giving the function for a container to run
in a host system.
o Scalable function QoS and QoS group via mlxdevm's rate commands were added. Run "man
mlxdevm port" for details.
o "Signature API" which, on supported devices, allows application-level data-integrity checks via a
signature handover mechanism. Various signature types, including CRC32 and T10-DIF, can be
automatically calculated and checked, stripped, or appended during the transfer at full wire
speed.
o DR support for matching on RAW tunnel headers using the misc5 parameters, This feature allows
matching on each bit of the header,
o inducing reserved fields.

For ConnectX-6 Dx Adapters:

o Mapping a QP (Queue Pair) to AH over DEVX API, which enables DC/UD QPs to use multiple CC
algorithms in the same data center.
o Better insertion rate in software steering was supported. This includes multi-QP which skips areas
in the code that may be for debug only.
o Improved rate of updating steering rules, insertion, and deletion. The feature includes definers,
multi-qp approach, and better memory usage.
o Added support for ability to allow or prevent insertion of duplicate rules, so the user can choose
one of the following behaviors:
o Prevent duplicate rules, so that already-existing rule and fail can be detected.
o Allow duplicate rules, to enable updating the rule's action (this will only take effect once the
previous rule is deleted). By default, duplicate rules are allowed.
o Made it so that all rule's insertion occur in a defined time using defined (export) size of Htble and
decreased use of dynamic allocation.

For all HCA's:

o As of version 5.4, the driver is set so that udev rules will change the names of network interfaces
created from NVIDIA adapters.The udev rules are shipped to "/lib/udev/rules.d" and may be
overridden by placing a file with the same name in "/etc/udev/rules.d".
 o Example: /etc/udev/rules.d/82-net-setup-link.rules
o OvS-DPDK deprecated the command "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-e2e-stats". Instead, the command
has been integrated into the existing command "ovs-appctl dpctl/offload-stats-show -m" (when
e2e-cache is enabled).
o OvS-DPDK ct-ct-nat offloads is now disabled by default.
o Before version 5.4, /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules was potentially automatically edited by
installation scripts in case the options —umad-dev-rw or —umad-dev-na were used. From version
5.4 and above, those changes are made in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-ib-permissions.rules which (if
exist) only include the settings for those command-line options.
o ibv_query_qp_data_in_order() API: This API enables an application to check if the given QP data
is guaranteed to be in order, enabling poll for data instead of poll for completion.
o Added ethtool extended link state to mlx5e. ethtool can be used to get more information to help
troubleshoot the state.
o Moved all Python scripts and some other common scripts out of the mlnxofa_ kernel packages.
This removed the python dependency from that package when rebuilding it and avoided
unnecessary errors when rebuilding them for custom kernels.

signature handover mechanism. Various signature types, including CRC32 and T10-DIF, can be
automatically calculated and checked, stripped, or appended during the transfer at full wire
speed.
o DR support for matching on RAW tunnel headers using the misc5 parameters, This feature allows
matching on each bit of the header,
o inducing reserved fields.

For ConnectX-6 Dx Adapters:

o Mapping a QP (Queue Pair) to AH over DEVX API, which enables DC/UD QPs to use multiple CC
algorithms in the same data center.
o Better insertion rate in software steering was supported. This includes multi-QP which skips areas
in the code that may be for debug only.
o Improved rate of updating steering rules, insertion, and deletion. The feature includes definers,
multi-qp approach, and better memory usage.
o Added support for ability to allow or prevent insertion of duplicate rules, so the user can choose
one of the following behaviors:
o Prevent duplicate rules, so that already-existing rule and fail can be detected.
o Allow duplicate rules, to enable updating the rule's action (this will only take effect once the
previous rule is deleted). By default, duplicate rules are allowed.
o Made it so that all rule's insertion occur in a defined time using defined (export) size of Htble and
decreased use of dynamic allocation.

For all HCA's:

o As of version 5.4, the driver is set so that udev rules will change the names of network interfaces
created from NVIDIA adapters.The udev rules are shipped to "/lib/udev/rules.d" and may be
overridden by placing a file with the same name in "/etc/udev/rules.d".
o Example: /etc/udev/rules.d/82-net-setup-link.rules
o OvS-DPDK deprecated the command "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-e2e-stats". Instead, the command
has been integrated into the existing command "ovs-appctl dpctl/offload-stats-show -m" (when
e2e-cache is enabled).
o OvS-DPDK ct-ct-nat offloads is now disabled by default.
o Before version 5.4, /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules was potentially automatically edited by
installation scripts in case the options —umad-dev-rw or —umad-dev-na were used. From version
5.4 and above, those changes are made in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-ib-permissions.rules which (if
exist) only include the settings for those command-line options.
o ibv_query_qp_data_in_order() API: This API enables an application to check if the given QP data
is guaranteed to be in order, enabling poll for data instead of poll for completion.
o Added ethtool extended link state to mlx5e. ethtool can be used to get more information to help
troubleshoot the state.
o Moved all Python scripts and some other common scripts out of the mlnxofa_ kernel packages.
This removed the python dependency from that package when rebuilding it and avoided
 unnecessary errors when rebuilding them for custom kernels.

Prerequisites

Following packages must be installed from the respective OS distributions prior to installing the driver
component:

o Python version 2.7

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in version 5.4:

o To support scalability, function representor channels were limited to 4.However in scenarios when
SF (Scalable Function) was not used, certain use cases required representors to support a large
number of channels.Hence, representor channel limit to 4 was applicable only when a PCI device,
such as Scalable Function support, was enabled.
o Matching on ipv4_ihl (internet header length) was supported only for outer headers.
o When using one counter for both pop/push VLAN actions, the counter value was incorrect. Hence,
Spliting the counter for pop_vlan_action_counter and push_vlan_action_counter.
o Incorrect L3 decapsulation occured when the original inner frame was small and was padded to
comply with minimum frame size of 64-bytes.
o dapl and libmlx4 were needed by libdat2 and libdpdk. In order to remove or update dapl and
libmlx4, their dependencies had to be removed.
o In fork situation, if parent/children processes happen to have samevirtual address, then the
doorbell mechanism did not work well and may led to errors in application behavior.
o An override of log_max_qp by other devices occured if the devices share the same mlx5_core
module.
o A synchronization issue where closing and opening channels (which might happen on
configuration changes such as changing number of channels) may caused null pointer
dereference in function mlx5e_select_queue.
o Enabling tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation had no affect on the driver.
o Old udevd versions could get stuck renaming network devices, leaving interfaces named eth*
instead of enp*.
o Flows with t commit action with ct state -trk were not be offloaded (i.e., table=0,ct_state=-trk,ip
actions=ct(commit,table=1)).
o Connection tracking over VF LAG with tunnel encapsulation/decapsulation was not supported and
caused traffic drop.
 o OFED compilation failed when stack size was limited to 1024.
o Setting rate/burst values higher than 2,147,483,648 were rejected.
o Offloaded remote mirroring flows on tunnel device caused forwarded traffic to VF to not be
decapsulated.
o Trying to set VPort match mode on VF
(cat/sys/class/net/enp8s0f2/compat/devlink/vport_match_mode), leads to kernel crash.
o OVS flows were not being offloaded over socket-direct devices.
o When VXLAN was configured and illegal route was added, the system crashed with call trace.
o If any traffic was sent before the netdev went up for the first time, a division by zero caused by a
modulo operation occured in ndo_select_queue, leading to a kernel panic.
o After restarting driver, the x86 host might be in grace period and might not recover on its own.
As part of the fix, 5 FW_fatal recoveries are allowed within the 20-minute grace period. As a
result, the grace period in the devlink health show command will appear as 0 for FW_fatal
reporter.

Enhancements

MLNX OFED v5.4 contains the following changes and new features:

For ConnectX-4 Adapters:

o Updated mlx5 driver to use auxiliary bus in order to integrate different driver components into
driver core and optimize module load/unload sequences.
o WJH (What Just Happened) in NICs: WJH allows for visibility of dropped packets (i.e., receiving
notice of drop counters increase, seeing content of the dropped packets, debugging, and more).
WJH is a service in devlink context and it is already implemented in the switch.
o Note: processing dropped packets (even for visibility purposes) may cause a degradation in
performance and leaves the driver vulnerable for malicious attacks. The feature is disabled by
default.
o Supported traps:
o VLAN mismatch: existing generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong VLAN tag
o DMAC mismatch: new generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong destination MAC
o Added support for enabling Relaxed Ordering for Kernel ULPs. Using relaxed ordering can improve
performance in some setups. Since kernel ULPs are expected to support RO, it is enabled for
them by default so they can benefit from it.

For ConnectX-4 Adapters and above:

o In MLNX_OFED 5.4 GA, ConnectX-4/5/6 Ethernet network interfaces are now provided with
permanent names. Prior to this release, the default interface names were provided by the kernel
and udevd (ethX) remained as-is. From this release onwards, interface names are generated via
new udevd rules. The generated names are now predictable, and the default names are
automatically renamed to the predictable names by the udevd daemon, according to udev rules
files installed by OFED.

For ConnectX-5 Adapters and above:

o Support to allow OVS (OpenVSwitch) kernel to support up to 128 matches (groups) per table and
16M entries per group.
o Offload ct_state flags rpl, inv, and rel.
o For rpl, support was added for both set and not set matching offload (i.e., +rpl and -rpl).
o For inv and rel, support was added only for the not set option (i.e., -rel and -inv).
o Scalable functions (also called subfunctions):This feature enables the user to create, configure,
and deploy a scalable functions (e.g., RDMA and networking applications) and to assign them to a
container when a container is started via mlxdevm tool.A scalable function can also be deployed
in an untrusted guest/host system from the NIC/DPU. This enables full configuration of the
function and its representors from the NIC/DPU before giving the function for a container to run
in a host system.
o Scalable function QoS and QoS group via mlxdevm's rate commands were added. Run "man
 mlxdevm port" for details.
o "Signature API" which, on supported devices, allows application-level data-integrity checks via a
signature handover mechanism. Various signature types, including CRC32 and T10-DIF, can be
automatically calculated and checked, stripped, or appended during the transfer at full wire
speed.

container when a container is started via mlxdevm tool.A scalable function can also be deployed
in an untrusted guest/host system from the NIC/DPU. This enables full configuration of the
function and its representors from the NIC/DPU before giving the function for a container to run
in a host system.
o Scalable function QoS and QoS group via mlxdevm's rate commands were added. Run "man
mlxdevm port" for details.
o "Signature API" which, on supported devices, allows application-level data-integrity checks via a
signature handover mechanism. Various signature types, including CRC32 and T10-DIF, can be
automatically calculated and checked, stripped, or appended during the transfer at full wire
speed.
o DR support for matching on RAW tunnel headers using the misc5 parameters, This feature allows
matching on each bit of the header,
o inducing reserved fields.

For ConnectX-6 Dx Adapters:

o Mapping a QP (Queue Pair) to AH over DEVX API, which enables DC/UD QPs to use multiple CC
algorithms in the same data center.
o Better insertion rate in software steering was supported. This includes multi-QP which skips areas
in the code that may be for debug only.
o Improved rate of updating steering rules, insertion, and deletion. The feature includes definers,
multi-qp approach, and better memory usage.
o Added support for ability to allow or prevent insertion of duplicate rules, so the user can choose
one of the following behaviors:
o Prevent duplicate rules, so that already-existing rule and fail can be detected.
o Allow duplicate rules, to enable updating the rule's action (this will only take effect once the
previous rule is deleted). By default, duplicate rules are allowed.
o Made it so that all rule's insertion occur in a defined time using defined (export) size of Htble and
decreased use of dynamic allocation.

For all HCA's:

o As of version 5.4, the driver is set so that udev rules will change the names of network interfaces
created from NVIDIA adapters.The udev rules are shipped to "/lib/udev/rules.d" and may be
overridden by placing a file with the same name in "/etc/udev/rules.d".
o Example: /etc/udev/rules.d/82-net-setup-link.rules
o OvS-DPDK deprecated the command "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-e2e-stats". Instead, the command
has been integrated into the existing command "ovs-appctl dpctl/offload-stats-show -m" (when
e2e-cache is enabled).
 o OvS-DPDK ct-ct-nat offloads is now disabled by default.
o Before version 5.4, /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules was potentially automatically edited by
installation scripts in case the options —umad-dev-rw or —umad-dev-na were used. From version
5.4 and above, those changes are made in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-ib-permissions.rules which (if
exist) only include the settings for those command-line options.
o ibv_query_qp_data_in_order() API: This API enables an application to check if the given QP data
is guaranteed to be in order, enabling poll for data instead of poll for completion.
o Added ethtool extended link state to mlx5e. ethtool can be used to get more information to help
troubleshoot the state.
o Moved all Python scripts and some other common scripts out of the mlnxofa_ kernel packages.
This removed the python dependency from that package when rebuilding it and avoided
unnecessary errors when rebuilding them for custom kernels.

Important Note!

Mellanox Ethernet + RoCE Linux driver (mlnx-ofa_kernel RPMs) supports only Ethernet mode of operation
for HPE Mellanox adapters. For customers requiring complete InfiniBand functionality or "InfiniBand +
Ethernet" modes of operation on the same node, install MLNX-OFED drivers from "Mellanox OFED VPI
Drivers and Utilities" Linux Software Delivery Repository
(http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/mlnx_ofed/).

Prerequisites

Following packages must be installed from the respective OS distributions prior to installing the driver
component:

o Python version 2.7

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in version 5.4:

o To support scalability, function representor channels were limited to 4.However in scenarios when
SF (Scalable Function) was not used, certain use cases required representors to support a large
number of channels.Hence, representor channel limit to 4 was applicable only when a PCI device,
such as Scalable Function support, was enabled.
o Matching on ipv4_ihl (internet header length) was supported only for outer headers.
o When using one counter for both pop/push VLAN actions, the counter value was incorrect. Hence,
Spliting the counter for pop_vlan_action_counter and push_vlan_action_counter.
o Incorrect L3 decapsulation occured when the original inner frame was small and was padded to
comply with minimum frame size of 64-bytes.
o dapl and libmlx4 were needed by libdat2 and libdpdk. In order to remove or update dapl and
libmlx4, their dependencies had to be removed.
o In fork situation, if parent/children processes happen to have samevirtual address, then the
doorbell mechanism did not work well and may led to errors in application behavior.
 o An override of log_max_qp by other devices occured if the devices share the same mlx5_core
module.
o A synchronization issue where closing and opening channels (which might happen on
configuration changes such as changing number of channels) may caused null pointer
dereference in function mlx5e_select_queue.
o Enabling tx-udp_tnl-csum-segmentation had no affect on the driver.
o Old udevd versions could get stuck renaming network devices, leaving interfaces named eth*
instead of enp*.
o Flows with t commit action with ct state -trk were not be offloaded (i.e., table=0,ct_state=-trk,ip
actions=ct(commit,table=1)).
o Connection tracking over VF LAG with tunnel encapsulation/decapsulation was not supported and
caused traffic drop.
o OFED compilation failed when stack size was limited to 1024.
o Setting rate/burst values higher than 2,147,483,648 were rejected.
o Offloaded remote mirroring flows on tunnel device caused forwarded traffic to VF to not be
decapsulated.
o Trying to set VPort match mode on VF
(cat/sys/class/net/enp8s0f2/compat/devlink/vport_match_mode), leads to kernel crash.
o OVS flows were not being offloaded over socket-direct devices.
o When VXLAN was configured and illegal route was added, the system crashed with call trace.
o If any traffic was sent before the netdev went up for the first time, a division by zero caused by a
modulo operation occured in ndo_select_queue, leading to a kernel panic.
o After restarting driver, the x86 host might be in grace period and might not recover on its own.
As part of the fix, 5 FW_fatal recoveries are allowed within the 20-minute grace period. As a
result, the grace period in the devlink health show command will appear as 0 for FW_fatal
reporter.

Enhancements

MLNX OFED v5.4 contains the following changes and new features:

For ConnectX-4 Adapters:

o Updated mlx5 driver to use auxiliary bus in order to integrate different driver components into
driver core and optimize module load/unload sequences.
o WJH (What Just Happened) in NICs: WJH allows for visibility of dropped packets (i.e., receiving
notice of drop counters increase, seeing content of the dropped packets, debugging, and more).
WJH is a service in devlink context and it is already implemented in the switch.
o Note: processing dropped packets (even for visibility purposes) may cause a degradation in
performance and leaves the driver vulnerable for malicious attacks. The feature is disabled by
default.
o Supported traps:
o VLAN mismatch: existing generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong VLAN tag
o DMAC mismatch: new generic trap DEVLINK_TRAP_GENERIC_ID_DMAC_MISMATCH Traps
received packets with wrong destination MAC
o Added support for enabling Relaxed Ordering for Kernel ULPs. Using relaxed ordering can improve
performance in some setups. Since kernel ULPs are expected to support RO, it is enabled for
them by default so they can benefit from it.

For ConnectX-4 Adapters and above:

o In MLNX_OFED 5.4 GA, ConnectX-4/5/6 Ethernet network interfaces are now provided with
permanent names. Prior to this release, the default interface names were provided by the kernel
and udevd (ethX) remained as-is. From this release onwards, interface names are generated via
new udevd rules. The generated names are now predictable, and the default names are
automatically renamed to the predictable names by the udevd daemon, according to udev rules
files installed by OFED.

For ConnectX-5 Adapters and above:

 o Support to allow OVS (OpenVSwitch) kernel to support up to 128 matches (groups) per table and
16M entries per group.
o Offload ct_state flags rpl, inv, and rel.
o For rpl, support was added for both set and not set matching offload (i.e., +rpl and -rpl).
o For inv and rel, support was added only for the not set option (i.e., -rel and -inv).
o Scalable functions (also called subfunctions):This feature enables the user to create, configure,
and deploy a scalable functions (e.g., RDMA and networking applications) and to assign them to a
container when a container is started via mlxdevm tool.A scalable function can also be deployed

new udevd rules. The generated names are now predictable, and the default names are
automatically renamed to the predictable names by the udevd daemon, according to udev rules
files installed by OFED.

For ConnectX-5 Adapters and above:

o Support to allow OVS (OpenVSwitch) kernel to support up to 128 matches (groups) per table and
16M entries per group.
o Offload ct_state flags rpl, inv, and rel.
o For rpl, support was added for both set and not set matching offload (i.e., +rpl and -rpl).
o For inv and rel, support was added only for the not set option (i.e., -rel and -inv).
o Scalable functions (also called subfunctions):This feature enables the user to create, configure,
and deploy a scalable functions (e.g., RDMA and networking applications) and to assign them to a
container when a container is started via mlxdevm tool.A scalable function can also be deployed
in an untrusted guest/host system from the NIC/DPU. This enables full configuration of the
function and its representors from the NIC/DPU before giving the function for a container to run
in a host system.
o Scalable function QoS and QoS group via mlxdevm's rate commands were added. Run "man
mlxdevm port" for details.
o "Signature API" which, on supported devices, allows application-level data-integrity checks via a
signature handover mechanism. Various signature types, including CRC32 and T10-DIF, can be
automatically calculated and checked, stripped, or appended during the transfer at full wire
speed.
o DR support for matching on RAW tunnel headers using the misc5 parameters, This feature allows
matching on each bit of the header,
o inducing reserved fields.

For ConnectX-6 Dx Adapters:

o Mapping a QP (Queue Pair) to AH over DEVX API, which enables DC/UD QPs to use multiple CC
algorithms in the same data center.
o Better insertion rate in software steering was supported. This includes multi-QP which skips areas
in the code that may be for debug only.
o Improved rate of updating steering rules, insertion, and deletion. The feature includes definers,
multi-qp approach, and better memory usage.
o Added support for ability to allow or prevent insertion of duplicate rules, so the user can choose
one of the following behaviors:
o Prevent duplicate rules, so that already-existing rule and fail can be detected.
 o Allow duplicate rules, to enable updating the rule's action (this will only take effect once the
previous rule is deleted). By default, duplicate rules are allowed.
o Made it so that all rule's insertion occur in a defined time using defined (export) size of Htble and
decreased use of dynamic allocation.

For all HCA's:

o As of version 5.4, the driver is set so that udev rules will change the names of network interfaces
created from NVIDIA adapters.The udev rules are shipped to "/lib/udev/rules.d" and may be
overridden by placing a file with the same name in "/etc/udev/rules.d".
o Example: /etc/udev/rules.d/82-net-setup-link.rules
o OvS-DPDK deprecated the command "ovs-appctl dpctl/dump-e2e-stats". Instead, the command
has been integrated into the existing command "ovs-appctl dpctl/offload-stats-show -m" (when
e2e-cache is enabled).
o OvS-DPDK ct-ct-nat offloads is now disabled by default.
o Before version 5.4, /etc/udev/rules.d/90-ib.rules was potentially automatically edited by
installation scripts in case the options —umad-dev-rw or —umad-dev-na were used. From version
5.4 and above, those changes are made in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-ib-permissions.rules which (if
exist) only include the settings for those command-line options.
o ibv_query_qp_data_in_order() API: This API enables an application to check if the given QP data
is guaranteed to be in order, enabling poll for data instead of poll for completion.
o Added ethtool extended link state to mlx5e. ethtool can be used to get more information to help
troubleshoot the state.
o Moved all Python scripts and some other common scripts out of the mlnxofa_ kernel packages.
This removed the python dependency from that package when rebuilding it and avoided
unnecessary errors when rebuilding them for custom kernels.

Important Note!

Mellanox Ethernet + RoCE Linux driver (mlnx-ofa_kernel RPMs) supports only Ethernet mode of operation
for HPE Mellanox adapters. For customers requiring complete InfiniBand functionality or "InfiniBand +
Ethernet" modes of operation on the same node, install MLNX-OFED drivers from "Mellanox OFED VPI
Drivers and Utilities" Linux Software Delivery Repository
(https://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/project/mlnx_ofed/).

Prerequisites

Following packages must be installed from the respective OS distributions prior to installing the driver
component:

o Python version 2.7

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in version 4.9:

o An issue where injecting EEH (Extended Error Handlng) may cause extra Kernel prints, such as:
“EEH: Might be infinite loop in mlx5_core driver” was fixed.
o RPM-based OSs with non-default kernels, using repositories after re-creating the installer (using -
-add-kernel-support) were resulting in improper installation of the drivers.
 o A typo in perftest package where help messages wrongly displayed the conversion result between
Gb/s and MB/s (20^2 instead of 2^20).
o When one of the LAG slaves went down, LAG deactivation failed, ultimately causing bandwidth
degradation.
o The mlx5 driver maintains a subdirectory for every open eth port in /sys/kernel/debug/. For the
default network namespace, the sub-directory name is the name of the interface, like "eth8". The
new convention for the network interfaces moved to the non-default network namespaces is the
interfaces name followed by "@" and the port's PCI ID. For example: "eth8@0000:af:00.3".
o "openibd" script load used to fail when esp6_offload module did not load successfully.
o Added dependency of package mpi-selectors on perl-Getopt-Long system package. On minimal
installs of RPM-based OSs, installing mpi-selectros will also install the required system package
perl-Getopt-Long.
o During certain rare scenarios, due to Rx page not being replenished, the same page fragment
mistakenly became assigned to two different Rx descriptors.
o Driver load issue existed with Errata-kernel on SLES15 SP1.
o An issue in the Hairpin feature which prevented adding hairpin flows using TC tool was fixed.
o WQ (Work Queue) queue flushing was not handled properly in the event of EEH.
o A rare kernel crash scenario when exiting an application that uses RMPP mads intensively.
o A possible kernel crash scenario when AER/slot reset in done in parallel to user space commands
execution.
o Added missing ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification) configuration under sysfs for PFs in
SwitchDev mode.
o When firmware response time to commands became very long, some commands failed upon
timeout. The driver may have then triggered a timeout completion on the wrong entry, leading to
a NULL pointer call trace.
o Added driver support for kernels with the old XDP_REDIRECT infrastructure that uses the
following NetDev operations: .ndo_xdp_flush and .ndo_xdp_xmit.
o Usage of --excludedocs Open MPI RPM option resulted in the removal of non-documentation
related files.
o Disabled automated loading of some modules through udev triggers to preserve the startup
process of previous MLNX_OFED versions.
o Reference count (refcount) for RDMA connection ID (cm_id) was not incremented in
rdma_resolve_addr() function, resulting in a cm_id use-after-free access. A fix was applied to
increment the cm_id refcount
o A race condition which caused kernel panic when moving two ports to SwitchDev mode at the
same time.
o Allowed accessing sysfs hardware counters in SwitchDev mode
o Function smp_processor_id() is called in the RX page recycle flow to determine the core to run
on. This is intended to run in NAPI context. However, due to a bug in backporting, the RX page
recycle was mistakenly called also in the RQ close flow when not needed.
o Port link state was automatically changed (without admin state involvement) to "UP" after reboot.
o ConnectX-3 adapter cards froze when running over SLES 11 OS.
o RDMA CM (Remote Direct Memory Access Communation Manager) connection failed when port
space was small.
o Traffic mirroring with OVS (Open VSwitch)offload and non-offload over VxLAN interface is now
supported. Note: For kernel 4.9, make sure to use a dedicated OVS version.
o When working with VF LAG while the bond device is in active-active mode, running fwreset would
result in unequal traffic on both PFs, and PFs would not reach line rate.
o When bond was created over VF (Virtuaal Function) netdevices in SwitchDev mode, the VF
netdevice would be treated as representor netdevice. This caused the mlx5_core driver to crash
in case it received netdevice events related to bond device.
o An issue where following a bad affinity occurrence in VF LAG mode, traffic was sent after the port
went up/down in the switch.
o Added support for VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) header rewrite on CentOS 7.2 OS.

Enhancements

The following changes and new features are added in version 4.9:

o For ConnectX-5 Adapters and above

Added support for the following features:

o Option to dump configuration space via the devlink tool in order to improve debug capabilities.
o The conventional TX descriptor (WQE or Work Queue Element) describes a single packet for
transmission. Added driver support for the HW feature of multi-packet TX WQEs in XDP transmit
flows. With this, the HW becomes capable of working with a new and improved WQE layout that
describes several packets. In effect, this feature saves PCI bandwidth and transactions, and
improves transmit packet rate.
o GENEVE encapsulation/decapsulation rules offload.
o Driver support for the hardware feature of multi-packet Tx to work with a new and improved
WQE layout that describes several packets instead of a single packet for XDP transmission flows.
This saves PCI bandwidth and transactions, and improves transmit packet rate.
o Updating CT (Connection Tracking) rules using the software steering mechanism.
o Updating remote mirroring rules using the software steering mechanism.

o For ConnectX-4 Adapters and above

Added support for the following features:

o Exposed rx_prio[p]_discards discard counters per priority that count the number of received
packets dropped due to lack of buffers on the physical port.
o Reporting TSO and CSUM offload capabilities for MPLS tagged traffic and, allowed the kernel
stack to use these offloads.
o mlx5e Max Combined Channels Increased the driver’s maximal combined channels value from 64
to 128 (however, note that OOB value will not cross 64). 128 is the upper bound. Lower maximal
value can be seen on the host, depending on the number of cores and MSIX's configured by the
firmware.
o Added the following RoCE accelerator counters:
 roce_adp_retrans - counts the number of adaptive retransmissions for RoCE traffic.
 roce_adp_retrans_to - counts the number of times RoCE traffic reached timeout due to
adaptive retransmission.
 roce_slow_restart - counts the number of times RoCE slow restart was used.
 roce_slow_restart_cnps - counts the number of times RoCE slow restart generated CNP
packets roce_slow_restart_trans - counts the number of times RoCE slow restart
changed state to slow restart.
o User to register memory regions with a relaxed ordering access flag through experimental verbs.

nmlx5_en Driver Component for VMware 7.0 U2

Version: 2021.04.21 (Recommended)
Filename: cp047641.compsig; cp047641.zip

Important Note!

Important: The version 4.21.71.1 supports ESXi 7.0 U2.

Known Issues in version 4.21.71.101:

o A mismatch between the uplink and the VF MTU values may result in CQE with error.
Workaround:: Align the uplink and the VF MTU values.
o Enabling sriov_mc_isolation module parameter may result in vmknic and emulated NICs multicast
and IPv6 traffic loss.
Workaround: Unset or set the module parameter to 0.
o RDMA is not supported in the Hypervisor with ENS (Enhanced Network Stack) model 2.
o Setting the "Allow Guest MTU Change" option in vSphere Client is currently not functional.
Although guest MTU changes in SR-IOV are allowed, they do not affect the port's MTU and the
guest's MTU remains the same as the PF MTU.
o ECN ( Explicit congestion notification) statistic counters accumulatorsPeriod and
ecnMarkedRocePackets display wrong values and cannot be cleared.
o ECN tunable parameter initialAlphaValue for the Reaction Point protocol cannot be modified.
o Card's speed remains zero after port goes down and reboot is performed.
o RoCE traffic may fail after vMotion when using namespace.
o Legacy SR-IOV is not supported with Model 1.
 o When in ENS mode, changing the scheduler to HCLK, may cause traffic loss.
o The 'esxcli mellanox uplink link info -u ' command reports the 'Auto negotiation' capability always
as 'true'.
o SMP MADs (ibnetdiscover, sminfo, iblinkinfo, smpdump, ibqueryerr, ibdiagnet and smpquery) are
not supported on the VFs.
o Although the max_vfs module parameter range is "0-128", due to firmware limitations, the
following are the supported VFs per single port devices:
 ConnectX-4 / ConnectX-5: up to 127

Fixes

Fixes included in version 4.21.71.101:

o Fixed a compatibility issue with VMware Update Manager as it wouldn't accept a bundle with
metadata xml with old versioning scheme. The metadata xml now contains the new versioning
scheme.

Enhancements

Changes and New Features are included in smart component version 2021.04.21:

o Added support for the following features:

 vSan over RDMA.
 Receive Side Scaling (RSS) for ENS model 0.
 200GbE link speed.
 ConnectX-6 Lx devices.
 Scaled support for up to 10K connections over RDMA networks
 Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange (DCBX) protocol with hardware offload.
 sriov_mc_isolation module parameter to isolate multicast traffic to SR-IOV interfaces.
Default value is OFF.
 ens_fallback_model to set the default fallback mode when the option to query ENS
model from the OS is no supported. Default to Model 1.

New features and changes in version 4.21.71.101:

o SR-IOV InfiniBand is at GA level.

o Updated the supported_num_ports default value to 1 to lower memory constraints.
Note: The user must set a value corresponding to the amount of ports installed in the system.

Important Note!
 Important Notes

o Firmware Upgrade
 Starting OA 4.50 release, a standardized code signing and validation mechanism has
been introduced to enhance the firmware image authenticity.
 For customers using Firmware ROM image to upgrade OA:
 For OAs with firmware version less than 3.50, first update to OA 3.50 and then
continue updating to OA 4.50 or above.
 For customers using Smart Components to upgrade OA:
 OA firmware update mechanisms which rely on HPE Smart Components
(example: EFM), will not be affected by this change. The Smart Component will
automatically perform the intermediate upgrade to OA 3.50 before performing
the OA 4.50 or above upgrade.
o EFM
 The OA only supports SPP ISO images that are less than 4 GB in size, whether hosted
directly via the Enclosure DVD feature or an attached USB key, or mounted remotely via
a specified URL. If an ISO image exceeds 4 GB, the CLI SHOW FIRMWARE
MANAGEMENT command displays ISO URL Status as “Invalid URL.”
 If an SPP ISO image exceeds 4 GB, it is necessary to create a custom ISO image that
excludes components unnecessary to the OA EFM blade firmware update process. At a
minimum, the custom ISO must contain the firmware components for HPE ProLiant BL
servers. (When using HPE SUM to create the custom ISO image, select Firmware as the
Component Type, and select HPE ProLiant BL Series as the Server Type.) For
information about creating a custom ISO image compatible for OA EFM functionality, see
the HPE BladeSystem Onboard Administrator User Guide. More HPE SUM information can
be found via HPE Smart Update Manager online help or
at https://www.hpe.com/servers/hpsum/documentation.
o FIPS
 Onboard Administrator 4.71 is FIPS certified as referenced in the 140-2 In Process list
located at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf.
o IPv6
 When the Enable DHCPv6 or Enable SLAAC enclosure IPv6 settings are disabled on the
Onboard Administrator, the respective DHCPv6 or SLAAC addresses of the iLOs in the
enclosure are retained until these addresses expire automatically based on their
respective configurations. A manual reset of the iLO releases these addresses
immediately

Prerequisites

To access the OA web interface, you must have the OA IP address and a compatible web browser. You
must access the

application through HTTPS (HTTP packets exchanged over an SSL/TLS-encrypted session).

The OA web interface requires an XSLT-enabled browser with support for JavaScript 1.3 or the equivalent.

Supported browsers include:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11

• Mozilla Firefox 67.0.4(64-bit)

• Google Chrome 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Fixes
General

o Addressed an issue where running concurrent UPDATE ILO cli command from different SSH
sessions cause few of the commands to end in operation failure.
o Fixed an issue in SET SERVER DVD CONNECT cli command usage in IPv6 environment.
o Addressed an issue where blade’s ProductID update in System Rom RBSU is not reflected in the
Onboard Administrator.
o Harnessed certificate read operation from flash to minimize certificate read failures.
o Fixed an issue in SNMP v3 protocol where EngineTime was not reset on increment of EngineBoot
count.
o Addressed an issue related to blade discovery failure
o Fixed an issue in Smart Component where it fails to establish communication with Onboard
Administrator using DHE ciphers.
o Addressed an issue related to ECDSA ciphers enable/disable feature.
o Added SSH cipher list to the configuration script
o Fixed an issue in Onboard Administrator GUI where IPv4 DynamicDNS could not be enabled when
enclosure is configured for static IP configuration.
o Fixed help message display issues in CLI commands SET SSL_SESSION TIMEOUT and SET
SECURESH.
o Addressed an issue in SNMP where EngineBoot count was incremented by two for add/delete of
trap receiver.
o Fixed Online Help (OLH) pages display issue that occur when language pack is uploaded into
Onboard Administrator.

Security

The following security vulnerabilities are fixed:

o Onboard Administrator’s web server response is enhanced to include X-Content-Type-Options

security header.
o CVE-2011-3026 - libpng: Heap buffer overflow
o CVE-2018-1000517 - BusyBox wget version contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerability
o CVE-2020-1971 - EDIPARTYNAME NULL pointer de-reference
o CVE-2020-15861 - Net-SNMP allows Escalation of Privileges
o CVE-2020-15862 - Net-SNMP provides the ability to run arbitrary commands as root.
o CVE-2019-20892 – SNMPv3 get bulk request issue

Issues and workarounds

Browsers

o OA GUI is not accessible in Chrome versions 43.0.2357.10 to 44.0.2383.The issue was caused by
a “regression” in Chrome (or WebKit). Customers should use an alternative browser like Firefox
or Internet Explorer or try a different version of Chrome.
o SSO-to-iLO connection from the OA using an iLO host name fails with Microsoft Internet
Explorer11 on Windows 8. On a Windows 8 system with Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer
11, if the OA web GUI session is loaded using a host name instead of an IP address, an attempt
to open an iLO window using SSO from the OA web GUI might result in the iLO page loading in
the OA web GUI window instead of the intended new window. This issue was determined to be a
bug in Internet Explorer and is expected to be fixed in a future release or update for Internet
Explorer. To work around this issue, either use an IP address to load the OA Web GUI, or turn off
Protected Mode for the appropriate zone in Internet Explorer’s settings. This issue occurs only on
Internet Explorer browsers.
FIPS

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by
the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater
is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was
installed when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant certificate. While
operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the
OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is
already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that
the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even
with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.

IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The
Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is
to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is
installed on terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure
Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE
SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

CAC

o In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
o Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
o If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
o It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC. If
something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial
port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.
However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been
disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial
port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been
configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without
certificate access.

Configurable SSH Port Number

If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version
greater than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware feature from Active OA, after the
firmware update and reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port
number. The work around is to reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured
port in next boot. This issue will not occur in the case where SSH port is configured to default port
22 in the Active OA.

Smart component

When OA is in FIPS ON or FIPS TOP-SECRET mode and any of the ciphers that use Diffie-Hellman
(DH) keys are enabled, firmware upgrade or downgrade using OA Smart Component 4.96 or
 earlier versions may fail with following error:

Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator. Verify the target address is
correct and can be accessed from your system.

FIPS ON

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA25
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

FIPS TOP-SECRET

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

Same error may occur when OA upgrade or downgrade is performed through Smart

Update Manager (SUM) resulting in the following error message in the SUM.

Update returned an error View Log

When this failure occurs, the following message can be seen in the OA Smart Component log
file.

Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator.

Verify The target address is correct and can be accessed from your system.

The work-around for this problem is to disable all the ciphers that use DH key and rerun the
firmware upgrade or downgrade.

Disabling ciphers can be done using the CLI command DISABLE SSL CIPHER or through the GUI.
 The disabled ciphers can be re-enabled once the firmware upgrade or downgrade is completed.

ILO5 Firmware Update

The UPDATE ILO command is failing to update the iLO5 firmware versions 2.10 and later on OA
version 4.90 and less than 4.90. This issue is caused by the introduction of new signature in the
iLO5 firmware version 2.10

. The work-around is to update the OA firmware to 4.95 and then try the UPDATE ILO command.
This issue will not occur with OA versions 4.95 and later.

Enhancements

Onboard Administrator 4.97 provides support for the following enhancements:

Hardware additions

o None

Features: additions and changes

General

o A new feature is added to SNMP to support enable/disable options for v1/v2c protocols.
o New SNMP traps were added for emergency brake (e-brake) activated and deactivated events.

Certificates smaller than 2048 bits in size are not compliant with FIPS requirements as enforced by
the OA firmware starting with OA 4.20. When the OA running OA firmware version 4.40 or greater
is operating in FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG and is configured with a 1024-bit LDAP certificate that was
installed when running a previous version of OA firmware, FIPS Mode ON/DEBUG is considered to
be operating in a degraded state due to the presence of the non-compliant certificate. While
operating in this FIPS-Degraded Mode operational state, attempts to set FIPS Mode OFF from the
OA GUI Network Access>FIPS tab will fail and show the error message The selected FIPS mode is
already enabled. When the non-compliant certificate is removed, the FIPS-Degraded operational
status is cleared, FIPS Mode can then be successfully set to OFF from the GUI interface. Note that
the OA CLI command SET FIPS MODE OFF can be successfully used to set FIPS Mode OFF even
with non-compliant 1024-bit LDAP certificates installed in the OA.
IRC

Unable to open .net IRC console for Gen10 Blades, Gen9 Blades also have the same issue. The
Java applet and Webstart however, loads but the virtual media mounting fails. The work around is
to launch the IRC through IRC Application (HPE Lights-Out Stand Alone Remote Console) which is
installed on terminal client.

EFM

To use EFM on Gen 10 Blades, please select options/filters “Make Bootable ISO file” and “Enclosure
Firmware Management” while creating custom SPP ISO on HPE SUM 8.0.0. Please refer to HPE
SUM 8.0.0 User guide for further details.

CAC

o In the CAC mode SSH, Telnet and XML Reply protocols will be disabled.
o Linked enclosure login will not work if the linked enclosure in CAC mode.
o If accurate Service account details are not provided, LDAP user login with certificate will fail.
o It is highly recommended to establish a recovery plan before getting started with CAC. If
something goes wrong with the OA configuration, the OA may be recovered through the serial
port or Insight Display panel and USB KEY. Both methods require physical access to the OA.
However, if an LCD PIN has been configured (and forgotten) and local accounts have been
disabled or CAC has been incorrectly configured then, the only way to recover is through a serial
port. The two most common situations where OA recovery is needed are when LDAP has been
configured incorrectly with local accounts disabled or when CAC has been configured without
certificate access.

Configurable SSH Port Number

If a Standby OA is running firmware version less than 4.85 and it is updated to firmware version greater
than or equal to 4.85 using synchronize firmware feature from Active OA, after the firmware update and
reboot of the Standby OA, SSH port will not open in the configured port number. The work around is to
reboot the Standby OA and SSH port will open in the configured port in next boot. This issue will not occur
in the case where SSH port is configured to default port 22 in the Active OA.

Smart component

When OA is in FIPS ON or FIPS TOP-SECRET mode and any of the ciphers that use Diffie-Hellman
(DH) keys are enabled, firmware upgrade or downgrade using OA Smart Component 4.96 or
earlier versions may fail with following error:

Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator. Verify the target address is
correct and can be accessed from your system.

FIPS ON

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA25
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
 TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256

FIPS TOP-SECRET

TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384

Same error may occur when OA upgrade or downgrade is performed through Smart

Update Manager (SUM) resulting in the following error message in the SUM.

Update returned an error View Log

When this failure occurs, the following message can be seen in the OA Smart Component log
file.

Error: 1013: Client cannot connect with the Onboard Administrator.

Verify The target address is correct and can be accessed from your system.

The work-around for this problem is to disable all the ciphers that use DH key and rerun the
firmware upgrade or downgrade.

Disabling ciphers can be done using the CLI command DISABLE SSL CIPHER or through the GUI.
The disabled ciphers can be re-enabled once the firmware upgrade or downgrade is completed.

ILO5 Firmware Update

The UPDATE ILO command is failing to update the iLO5 firmware versions 2.10 and later on OA
version 4.90 and less than 4.90. This issue is caused by the introduction of new signature in the iLO5
firmware version 2.10.

The work-around is to update the OA firmware to 4.95 and then try the UPDATE ILO command.
This issue will not occur with OA versions 4.95 and later.

Online Firmware Upgrade Utility (ESXi 6.5) for HPE Mellanox Ethernet only adapters
Version: 1.0.10 (Recommended)
Filename: CP046583.compsig; CP046583.zip

Important Note!

The Firmware Upgrade Utility has been split into 2 packages for Mellanox Ethernet Only NIC adpaters, one
supporting Synergy platforms and the other supporting ProLiant and Apollo platforms. This package
supports Mellanox Ethernet Only NIC adapters on ProLiant and Apollo servers.

Prerequisites

Use iLO5 firmware version 2.30 or higher with ConnectX4/ConnectX5 firmware version
14.28.1002/16.28.1002 respectively. Thermal sensor reporting on the adapter will not be functional with
older versions of iLO5 firmware.

Fixes

Fixes included in firmware version 2.42.5044 :

o An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB
bond interface from going to a failover mode.

The following issues have been fixed in version 14.31.1200:

o TX PRBS was not changed even after reconfiguring it, all PRBS mode were enabled in test mode.
o A fatal error occurred and eventually resulted in the HCA to get into an unresponsive state when
a packet was larger than a strided receive WQE that was being scattered.
o The resource number size (a 64 bit number) was overwritten with a 32 bit number and erased
the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.

Additional Fixes included in version 14.31.1200:

o Fixed the rate select mechanism in QSFP modules.

o Fixed classification issues for "Passive" cables to be more robust.
o Initialized the rate table in the static configuration so it will be configured at the link-not-up
scenarios.

The following issues have been fixed in version 16.31.1014:

o TX PRBS was not changed even after reconfiguring it, all PRBS mode were enabled in test mode.
o An assert that was caused when trying to open 1024 functions on the device and the maximum
number of functions was 1023.
o Occasional performance issues related to RC QPs using E2E-credits (not connected to SRQ and
doing send/receive traffic) when the ROCE_ACCL tx_window was enabled.
o A fatal error occurred and eventually resulted in the HCA to get into an unresponsive state when
a packet was larger than a strided receive WQE that was being scattered.
o A rare issue that caused RX pipe to hang.
o The resource number size (a 64 bit number) was overwritten with a 32 bit number and erased
the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.
o CRT_DCR with index larger than 1 << 21 occasionally collided with the CRT_SW_RESERVED
address.
o An issue that caused the TX queue to get into an unresponsive state when the VF rate limiter was
set.

Additional Fixes included in version 16.31.1014:

o Disabled the CNP counter “rp_cnp_ignored " (triggered by OOS (out-of-sequence)) when all ports
are IB.
 o Fixed the TMP421 sensor temperature reporting.
o Fixed the rate select mechanism in QSFP modules.
o Fixed classification issues for "Passive" cables to be more robust.
o Initialized the rate table in the static configuration so it will be configured at the link-not-up
scenarios.

779793-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10G 2-port 546SFP+ Adapter)

Firmware for the following devices are updated to 14.31.1200:

817749-B21 (HPE Ethernet 25Gb 2-port 640FLR-SFP28 Adapter)

Firmware for the following devices are updated to 14.31.1200:

817753-B21 (HPE Ethernet 25Gb 2-port 640SFP28 Adapter)

Firmware for the following device is updated to 16.31.1014:

874253-B21 (HPE Ethernet 100Gb 1-port 842QSFP28 Adapter)

New features and changes in version 14.31.1200:

o NVconfig per Port for a Specific Finisar Module: Added a new NVconfig per Port for a specific
Finisar module. This new NVconfig sets the port to work in AN mode and sets the module to No
DME. This change does not affect the speed logic, only the FEC logic (FEC override).
Note: If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode.

New features and changes in version 16.31.1014:

o NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
o Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to
debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
o Added support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) via the UEFI HII system
settings.
Note: Values set in this option only take effect when is Ethernet mode.
o Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
o Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different
number of MSIX
vectors per physical PCI functions.
To use this feature, please follow these steps:
 Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
 Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX
configuration.
 Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
o Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
o A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect
when the AR is enabled.
o A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
o When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the
page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.
Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the MANAGE_PAGES commands to
the firmare.
o Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
o Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2
 QPs.
o RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB
receive queues according to the DLID and
the DQPN.

Online Firmware Upgrade Utility (ESXi 6.5) for HPE Mellanox VPI (Ethernet and Infiniband mode) devices on
VMware ESXi 6.5
Version: 1.0.7 (Recommended)
Filename: CP045902.compsig; CP045902.zip

Important Note!

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5056, 2.42.5700:

o When using the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) module RTXM320-581, and
performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not
come up.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
o In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit.
Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link is in an idle mode.
o In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the Packet Filter (PF) is passed through to a VM requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
o Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server
reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by
firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/ driver utilities that read the GUID via
device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a
value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value
should be used.
Workaround: Please use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
o SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX-3 adapters.
o On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed.
o RHEL6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SRIOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver
compatibility issue.
o Workaround: Set the "do_- sense=false" parameter in the [IB_TAB] i.
o In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more
than 8 QP per mcg.
o When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with
Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several manufacturers including Mellanox’s, preventing
them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
o Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is
forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the flash and
causes firmware hang.
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: 'flint -clear_semaphore'
o Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
o Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only)..
o PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
o Bloom filter is currently not supported.
o When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is
 displayed due to the mlxconfig tool: You are trying to override configurable FW by non-
configurable FW. If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y You are trying to restore default configuration, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] :
y.
o DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3
o ConnectX®-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as ConnectX®-3 VF device ID due to driver
limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
o Virtual Product Data (VPD) read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read-only fields if you wish to preserve them.
o When working in Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters
misbehave and increase rapidly.
o Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management
resulting in communication loss.
o CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
o Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is
connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround: 1. Unplug the cable from the switch 2. Restart driver 3. Change the protocol via
the appropriate tools.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific
switches.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--
identify).
o Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE)
o Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme
equals to “push to that rule”.
o Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the
first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
o The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC
port with 56GbE port link.
o 56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
o When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic
in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
o When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
o MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
o The adapter card cannot raise a 10G link vs. a 40GE capable switch port in C7000 enclosure. It
can raise a 1G Link and only if the switch port allows it.
o MTUSB communication via I2C header on primary I2C bus is supported only in live-fish mode.

Fixes

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

o PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
o The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than
10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range
of less than 16 msec.
o The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0”
while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the
downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
o In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
o While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and
consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
o The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active
nor armed.
o ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
o link did not go up after reboot.
o Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset
to generate 2 completions.
o Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the
disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in
 the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5056:

o Fixed an issue that resulted in reading from invalid I/O address on handover from UEFI boot to
OS boot, when a port was configured as InfiniBand on a VPI adapter device.

New features and changes in version 14.31.1200:

o NVconfig per Port for a Specific Finisar Module: Added a new NVconfig per Port for a specific
Finisar module. This new NVconfig sets the port to work in AN mode and sets the module to No
DME. This change does not affect the speed logic, only the FEC logic (FEC override).
Note: If the port does not go up, switch to Force mode.

New features and changes in version 16.31.1014:

o NIC scheduling feature support has been disabled for non-privileged functions.
o Implemented a new NC-SI command get_debug_info to get mstdump via the NC-SI protocol to
debug a device if the PCI link fails for any given reason.
o Added support for Enabling/Disabling NIC and RDMA (port/partition) via the UEFI HII system
settings.
Note: Values set in this option only take effect when is Ethernet mode.
o Increased the maximum number of MSIX per VF to 127.
o Asymmetrical MSIX Configuration: This feature allows the device to be configured with a different
number of MSIX
vectors per physical PCI functions.
To use this feature, please follow these steps:
 Clear NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to disable global symmetrical MSIX configuration.
 Set PF_NUM_PF_MSIX_VALID to enable asymmetrical per Physical Function MSIX
configuration.
 Configure PF_NUM_PF_MSIX per physical PCI function.
o Support for RDMA partitioning and RDMA counters in IB mode.
o A new bit ("data_in_order") was added to query the QP and allow a process/library to detect
when the AR is enabled.
o A new flex parser to support GENEVE hardware offload and ICMP.
o When the non-page-supplier-FLR funcion is initiated, the firmware triggers a page event to the
page supplier to indicate that all pages should be returned for the FLR function.
Pages are returned by the driver to the kernel without issuing the MANAGE_PAGES commands to
the firmare.
o Enabled UID 0 to create resources with UMEM (User Memory).
o Receiving and sending native IB packets from/to the software (including all headers) via raw IBL2
QPs.
o RX RDMA NIC flow table on an IB port. Now the software can steer native IB packets to raw IB
receive queues according to the DLID and
the DQPN.

Important Note!

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5056, 2.42.5700:

o When using the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) module RTXM320-581, and
performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not
come up.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
o In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit.
Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link is in an idle mode.
o In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the Packet Filter (PF) is passed through to a VM requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
o Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server
reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by
firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/ driver utilities that read the GUID via
device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a
value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value
should be used.
Workaround: Please use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
o SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX-3 adapters.
o On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed.
o RHEL6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SRIOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver
compatibility issue.
o Workaround: Set the "do_- sense=false" parameter in the [IB_TAB] i.
o In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more
than 8 QP per mcg.
o When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with
Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several manufacturers including Mellanox’s, preventing
them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
o Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is
forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the flash and
causes firmware hang.
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: 'flint -clear_semaphore'
o Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
o Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only)..
o PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
o Bloom filter is currently not supported.
o When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is
displayed due to the mlxconfig tool: You are trying to override configurable FW by non-
configurable FW. If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y You are trying to restore default configuration, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] :
y.
o DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3
o ConnectX®-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as ConnectX®-3 VF device ID due to driver
limitations.
 Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
o Virtual Product Data (VPD) read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read-only fields if you wish to preserve them.
o When working in Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters
misbehave and increase rapidly.
o Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management
resulting in communication loss.
o CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
o Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is
connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround: 1. Unplug the cable from the switch 2. Restart driver 3. Change the protocol via
the appropriate tools.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific
switches.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--
identify).
o Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE)
o Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme
equals to “push to that rule”.
o Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the
first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
o The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC
port with 56GbE port link.
o 56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
o When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic
in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
o When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
o MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
o The adapter card cannot raise a 10G link vs. a 40GE capable switch port in C7000 enclosure. It
can raise a 1G Link and only if the switch port allows it.
o MTUSB communication via I2C header on primary I2C bus is supported only in live-fish mode.

Version: 1.0.1 (Recommended)
Filename: CP045904.compsig; CP045904.zip

Important Note!

Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5056, 2.42.5700:

o When using the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) module RTXM320-581, and
performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not
come up.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
o In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit.
Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link is in an idle mode.
o In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the Packet Filter (PF) is passed through to a VM requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
o Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server
reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by
firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/ driver utilities that read the GUID via
device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a
value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value
should be used.
Workaround: Please use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
o SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX-3 adapters.
o On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed.
o RHEL6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SRIOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver
compatibility issue.
o Workaround: Set the "do_- sense=false" parameter in the [IB_TAB] i.
o In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more
than 8 QP per mcg.
o When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with
Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several manufacturers including Mellanox’s, preventing
them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
o Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is
forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the flash and
causes firmware hang.
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: 'flint -clear_semaphore'
o Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
o Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only)..
o PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
o Bloom filter is currently not supported.
o When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is
displayed due to the mlxconfig tool: You are trying to override configurable FW by non-
configurable FW. If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y You are trying to restore default configuration, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] :
y.
o DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3
o ConnectX®-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as ConnectX®-3 VF device ID due to driver
limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
o Virtual Product Data (VPD) read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read-only fields if you wish to preserve them.
o When working in Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters
misbehave and increase rapidly.
o Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management
 resulting in communication loss.
o CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
o Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is
connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround: 1. Unplug the cable from the switch 2. Restart driver 3. Change the protocol via
the appropriate tools.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific
switches.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--
identify).
o Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE)
o Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme
equals to “push to that rule”.
o Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the
first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
o The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC
port with 56GbE port link.
o 56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
o When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic
in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
o When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
o MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
o The adapter card cannot raise a 10G link vs. a 40GE capable switch port in C7000 enclosure. It
can raise a 1G Link and only if the switch port allows it.
o MTUSB communication via I2C header on primary I2C bus is supported only in live-fish mode.

Fixes

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

o PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
o The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than
10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range
of less than 16 msec.
o The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0”
while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the
downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
o In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
o While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and
consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
o The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active
nor armed.
o ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
o link did not go up after reboot.
o Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset
to generate 2 completions.
o Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the
disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in
the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5056:

o Fixed an issue that resulted in reading from invalid I/O address on handover from UEFI boot to
OS boot, when a port was configured as InfiniBand on a VPI adapter device.

Prerequisites

Use iLO5 firmware version 2.30 or higher with ConnectX4/ConnectX5 firmware version
14.28.1002/16.28.1002 respectively. Thermal sensor reporting on the adapter will not be functional with
older versions of iLO5 firmware.

Fixes

ixes submitted in version 2.42.5044 :

o An issue that prevented the firmware from detecting a link_down event thus preventing the IB
bond interface from going to a failover mode.

Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 14.29.1016:

o Changed the default value of DCQCN's (Data center- Quantized Congestion Notification) NP
parameter min_time_between_cnps to 4 on all devices to support larger scalability of cluster.
o An issue that caused packets to drop due to header size issues and/or failing checks. The issue
was caused due to a Linux issue that caused VFs to set the wrong header size value in
wqe_inline_header_mode input.
o When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs were configured,
VM restart (VF/PF FLR) will take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME is disabled.
o On rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported
during FLR.
o An issue that caused the device to go to dead IRISC as one of the firmware semaphores could
not be released when a speed change or port state change was triggered.

Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 16.29.1016:

Fixes

The following issues have been fixed in version 12.28.2006:

o An issue that caused the DCR (DC Resources) to be destroyed before the retry option managed
to work when the retry timeout is too big. in this case, the DCR' time-to-live was increased, and
the maximum retry timeout was decreased.
o Increased PHY power consumption limit to 1.5w.
o An issue that caused PortCounters.PortRcvErr / PPCNT.infiniband_counters.PortRcvErr not to
report port icrc errors.

The following issues have been fixed in version 16.31.1014:

o TX PRBS was not changed even after reconfiguring it, all PRBS mode were enabled in test mode.
o An assert that was caused when trying to open 1024 functions on the device and the maximum
number of functions was 1023.
o Occasional performance issues related to RC QPs using E2E-credits (not connected to SRQ and
doing send/receive traffic) when the ROCE_ACCL tx_window was enabled.
o A fatal error occurred and eventually resulted in the HCA to get into an unresponsive state when
a packet was larger than a strided receive WQE that was being scattered.
o A rare issue that caused RX pipe to hang.
o The resource number size (a 64 bit number) was overwritten with a 32 bit number and erased
the high bits when de-allocating the resource number.
o CRT_DCR with index larger than 1 << 21 occasionally collided with the CRT_SW_RESERVED
address.
o An issue that caused the TX queue to get into an unresponsive state when the VF rate limiter was

Important Note!
Known Issues in firmware 2.42.5000, 2.42.5056, 2.42.5700:

o When using the Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable (QSFP) module RTXM320-581, and
performing a driver restart for the firmware upgrade/downgrade to take effect, the link does not
come up.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o Enabling/disabling cq_timestamp using mlxconfig is not supported.
o In a card with 2 separate LEDs scheme (a Phy LED and a logic LED) only the Phy LED will lit.
Meaning, the orange LED will not be active while the ETH link is in an idle mode.
o In SR-IOV setup, using mlxconfig when the Packet Filter (PF) is passed through to a VM requires
a reboot of the Hypervisor.
o Downgrading from v2.30.8000 or later to an earlier version than 2.30.8000 requires server
reboot.
Workaround: Reboot the server.
o On ConnectX-3 Ethernet adapter cards, there is a mismatch between the GUID value returned by
firmware management tools and that returned by fabric/ driver utilities that read the GUID via
device firmware (e.g., using ibstat). Mlxburn/flint return 0xffff as GUID while the utilities return a
value derived from the MAC address. For all driver/firmware/software purposes, the latter value
should be used.
Workaround: Please use the GUID value returned by the fabric/driver utilities (not 0xfffff).
o SBR should be asserted for a minimum of 50 milliseconds for the ConnectX-3 adapters.
o On Pilot1 SL230, PCIe link occasionally does not come up at Gen3 speed.
o RHEL6.3 Inbox driver causes kernel panic when SRIOV is enabled on VPI cards due to driver
compatibility issue.
o Workaround: Set the "do_- sense=false" parameter in the [IB_TAB] i.
o In advanced steering mode, side band management connectivity may be lost when having more
than 8 QP per mcg.
o When SR-IOV is disabled in the system BIOS, a PCI issue is noticed in Ubuntu v12.04.3 with
Linux kernel v3.8 which affects NICs of several manufacturers including Mellanox’s, preventing
them from operating.
Workaround: Enable SR-IOV in the BIOS.
o Mellanox Firmware Tools (MFT) might leave the flash semaphore locked if the tool operation is
forced stopped. The locked semaphore prevents the firmware from accessing the flash and
causes firmware hang.
Workaround: Clear the semaphore using MFT command: 'flint -clear_semaphore'
o Cable Info MAD reports a wrong cable info when using the MC2210411-SR4 module.
o Gen2 failure at temperature sweep up to 10C/min (for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV only)..
o PCIe Gen2 link unstable at temperature sweep of 10C/min for MT27518A1-FDIR-BV.
o Bloom filter is currently not supported.
o When downgrading from firmware v2.11.0000 and using MFT 3.0.0-3, the following message is
displayed due to the mlxconfig tool: You are trying to override configurable FW by non-
configurable FW. If you continue, old FW configurations will be cleared, do you want to continue ?
(y/n) [n] : y You are trying to restore default configuration, do you want to continue ? (y/n) [n] :
y.
o DMFS should not be enabled when working with InfiniBand on MLNX_OFED-2.0.3
o ConnectX®-3 Pro VF device ID is presented the same as ConnectX®-3 VF device ID due to driver
limitations.
Workaround: Use the physical function device ID to identify the device.
o Virtual Product Data (VPD) read-only fields are writable.
Workaround: Do not write to read-only fields if you wish to preserve them.
o When working in Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) mode with port1 FDR and port2 40G, error counters
misbehave and increase rapidly.
o Setting the device to 128Byte CQ/EQ stride will cause misbehavior of sideband management
resulting in communication loss.
o CQ and EQ cannot be configured to different stride sizes.
o Changing port protocol from ETH to IB on port with NCSI/IPMI enabled while the port is
connected to ETH switch is not supported.
Workaround: 1. Unplug the cable from the switch 2. Restart driver 3. Change the protocol via
the appropriate tools.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN may experience longer linkup times of a few seconds with specific
switches.
o Adapter card MCX349A-XCCN does not respond to ethtool “identify” command (ethtool -p/--
identify).
 o Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) over IPv6 is currently not functional.
Workaround: Set the default RoCE mode in the software to RoCE v2 (also when not using RoCE)
o Sniffer QP cannot be removed from the regular rule after adding the QP with insertion scheme
equals to “push to that rule”.
o Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the
first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
o The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC
port with 56GbE port link.
o 56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
o When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic
in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
o When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
o MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
o The adapter card cannot raise a 10G link vs. a 40GE capable switch port in C7000 enclosure. It
can raise a 1G Link and only if the switch port allows it.
o MTUSB communication via I2C header on primary I2C bus is supported only in live-fish mode.

Fixes

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

o PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
o The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than
10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range
of less than 16 msec.
o The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0”
while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the
downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
o In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
o While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and
consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
o The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active
nor armed.
o ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
o link did not go up after reboot.
o Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset
to generate 2 completions.
o Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the
disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in
the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5056:

o Fixed an issue that resulted in reading from invalid I/O address on handover from UEFI boot to
OS boot, when a port was configured as InfiniBand on a VPI adapter device.

o Since only a single Boot Entry Vector (BEV) per PCI Physical Function is supported, disabling the
first port causes the second port to disappear as well.
o The NIC does not notify the driver of a link-down incident when a cable is unplugged from a NIC
port with 56GbE port link.
o 56GbE link is not raised when using 100GbE optic cables.
o When working with MLNX_OFED v3.3-1.0.0.0, server reboot could get stuck due to a kernel panic
in mlx4_en_get_drvinfo() that is called from asynchronous event handler.
o When running ibdump, loopback traffic is mirroring into the kernel driver.
o MAC address that are set from the OS using ifconfig are not reflected in the OCBB buffer.
o The adapter card cannot raise a 10G link vs. a 40GE capable switch port in C7000 enclosure. It
can raise a 1G Link and only if the switch port allows it.
o MTUSB communication via I2C header on primary I2C bus is supported only in live-fish mode.

Fixes

Fixes in version 2.42.5000:

o PortRcvPkts counter was prevented from being cleared after resetting it.
o The system Timed Out on the configuration cycle of the Virtual Functions (VFs) when more than
10 Virtual Functions performed FLR and the completion Time Out value was configured to a range
of less than 16 msec.
o The server hangs and results in NMI when running “mlxfwtop –d mt4103_pci_cr0”
 while restarting the driver in parallel (from a different thread). In this case, the
downstream bridge over the device reported completion timeout error.
o In flow_steering, BMC could not receive a ping over IPV6 after running bmc_reboot.
o While closing the HCA, the RX packet caused bad access to resources that did not exist, and
consequently caused the QPCGW or the irisc to get stuck.
o The master SMLID and the LID was either 0 or 0xFFFF when the port was neither active
nor armed.
o ibdump could not capture all MADs packets.
o link did not go up after reboot.
o Fixed a rare issue that cause the PCIe configuration cycle that arrived during the time of sw_reset
to generate 2 completions.
o Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) did not work when adding the
disable_static_steering_ini field in the ini file, due to memory allocation issue for this field in
the scratchpad.

Fixes in version 2.42.5056:

o Fixed an issue that resulted in reading from invalid I/O address on handover from UEFI boot to
OS boot, when a port was configured as InfiniBand on a VPI adapter device.

o The issue affects SSDs with an HPE firmware version prior to HPD7 that results in SSD failure at
40,000 hours of operation (i.e., 4 years, 205 days 16 hours), neither the SSD nor the data can
be recovered, after the SSD failure occurs.
o In addition, SSDs which were put into service at the same time will likely fail nearly
simultaneously.

Fixes
 o The issue affects SSDs with an HPE firmware version prior to HPD7 that results in SSD failure at
40,000 hours of operation (i.e., 4 years, 205 days 16 hours), neither the SSD nor the data can
be recovered, after the SSD failure occurs.
o In addition, SSDs which were put into service at the same time will likely fail nearly
simultaneously.

Fixes

This FW release deploys an Enhanced Media Scan algorithm that addresses an issue when the host system

o In order to be detected properly, some controllers may need a newer version of the Smart Array
driver installed prior to upgrading the controller firmware. If not installed, the component will fail
with return code 3.
o When booting a system running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 Operating System, the HPE Smart
Array controllers might not be recognized. This issue is due to changes in the OS where the sg
driver is no longer loaded during system boot. The work around for this issue is to manually issue
a "modprobe sg" command which should load the sg driver. After the sg driver is loaded, the
/dev/sg* devices should be present and the sg driver can be used to access SCSI devices.

Fixes

Improved the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) response for non-responsive IO's when a volume
is transitioning into FAILED status.

Fixes

System can potentially stop responding with no lockup code due to livelock condition where the RAID
Stack thread is polling a queue for a completion to be returned by the base code firmware

Fixes

o The firmware updates could fail while SmartCache is enabled due to active I/O in the Smart
Cache.
o The serial output of the expander could fail to be populated in the controller logs due to the
buffer not being handled appropriately by the controller

Prerequisites

The Smart Storage Administrator for Linux requires the System Management Homepage software to be
installed on the server. If the System Management Homepage software is not already installed on your
server, please download it from HPE.com and install it before installing the Smart Storage Administrator
for Linux.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: SSA (GUI) for Linux can now be run without requiring the System Management
Homepage. SSA now supports a Local Application Mode for Linux. The System Management Homepage is
still supported, but no longer required to run the SSA GUI.

To invoke, enter the following at the command prompt:

ssa -local

The command will start SSA in a new Firefox browser window. When the browser window is
closed, SSA will automatically stop. This is only valid for the loopback interface, and not visible to external
network connections.
