Change history

Firmware Version : 4.2.433.3

Problems Fixed :

• Intermittent link status with IBM Virtual Fabric Switch when set to IBM Virtual Fabric Mode
• The option to enable/disable SRIOV on HS23 LOM Port 0 is missing from OneCommand Manager. This selection is available in UEFI F1 setup.
• Under high network stress, NMI errors can be seen with x3690 X5 and x3850 X5
• 10GbE ports running at 1GbE speed 10% below wirespeed at certain block sizes.
• Unable to perform PXE boot with LPVID assigned to vNIC interface
• 1Gb ports of HS23 do not handle tagging properly if multichannel mode enabled (pnic ok). Note: ESX driver patch also required.
• Port flapping link after FW upgrade and "reboot" when connected to 10Gb PTM module (DAC)

Interoperability Since Previous Release :

• Support for Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter Advanced (BE2) for IBM BladeCenter
• Support for Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter (BE2) for IBM BladeCenter
• Support for Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter (BE2) for IBM System X

Known Issues :

• All 10Gb KX4 ports must be used with 10Gb switches. They will not link at 1Gb. This applies to HS23 LOM and IBM BladeCenter VFA adapters only.
• IPv6 IP address not visible via IMM GUI for IBM Option 90Y6456
