Integrated Management Module (IMM) Firmware Update
Change History

IMPORTANT: Prerequisite for updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e)
========== Updating to IMM firmware version 1.30 (yuooc7e) requires the current
IMM firmware version to be 1.10 (yuoo57h), or later. If this prerequisite is not
met before updating to version 1.30 (yuooc7e) the system will not power on
correctly. If the system is not running a minimum of IMM version 1.10 (yuoo57h),
update the IMM before attempting to update to 1.30 (yuooc7e).
This prerequisite was a limitation of IMM version 1.30, and it has been fixed
in IMM version 1.31(yuooc7f). This prerequisite does not apply to IMM version 1.31
or later.

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT apply the firmware update (yuoo91e, v1.24)
========= if you are using AEM functions in x3620M3 or x3630M3. The
v1.24 firmware will disable the power capping functionality in those two
systems. Please remain on the current IMM version or update the firmware
to v1.25 or newer. Users not using AEM functions can still update to v1.24.

IMPORTANT: Read before using the MAX5
========== This Technical Update supplements the documentation that comes
with the IBM MAX5 for System x. Keep this document with your other MAX5
documentation. Before you attach the MAX5 to the server and try to use it,
you must update the server firmware with the latest level of firmware or
code. If you attach and try to use the MAX5 without updating the server
firmware, you might get unexpected system behavior or the server might
not power on. For special instructions to follow before you attach the MAX5
to the server, go to
http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5085756.

IBM maintains pages on the World Wide Web where you can get the latest
technical information and download device drivers and updates. To access
these pages, go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/ and follow the
instructions.

IMPORTANT: If you are at IMM firmware versions prior to 1.12 (yuoo67c) and
========== updating IMM firmware in Microsoft Windows, when you update IMM to
versions between 1.14 (YUOO73M) and 1.30 (YUOOC7E), it will take up to 10 minutes
additional wait time; when you update IMM to version 1.30 (YUOOC7E) or later, it
will take up to 20 minutes additional wait time. This is due to the iflash tool
checking the IMM before flashing. During this time the flashing process may appear
hung or unresponsive. The flashing will then complete and there is no functional
impact.

IMPORTANT: Make sure the current IMM firmware level is 1.14 or later
========== before you update the uEFI, FPGA, or DSA Preboot firmware.
The recommended firmware update sequence is IMM followed by UEFI
followed by FPGA followed by DSA Preboot.

IMPORTANT: A firmware change was made in YUOO57H (v1.10) that enforces the
========= requirement for login accounts on the IMM to have passwords that
contain both alpha and numeric characters. If you are updating the IMM firmware
from YUOO56K (v1.09) or earlier, to YUOO57H (v1.10) or newer, prior to updating
the firmware, please ensure that the IMM user account passwords contain
both alpha and numeric characters. If the firmware is updated and the passwords
do not contain both alpha and numeric characters, you may need to reset the IMM
to its default settings using the menus in the UEFI F1 set up display.

IMPORTANT: When updating the IMM firmware from a version earlier than
========= version 1.05 (build YUOO32F) to version 1.05 or newer, the
Remote Alert Recipient Email Addresses and the Daylight Saving
Time setting will revert to the default setting.
Users that utilize these settings will need to set them again
after the update.

IMPORTANT: When updating IMM, uEFI, pDSA, FPGA via any method,
========== please follow firmware update best practice document
(http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?brand=
5000020&lndocid=MIGR-5082923) for suggested update sequence and prerequisite.

IMPORTANT: Due to an Intel errata, if your server is running a 32-bit Linux
========== Operating System, C-states may need to be disabled while updating
uEFI, IMM, or DSA Preboot through the Linux command line interface. See
RETAIN TIP H195678 for more information. Updates performed through the AMM,
Bootable Media Creator, or the IMM web or CLI interfaces do not have this
requirement.

IMPORTANT: Updated firmware version numbers might not be visible in SMBIOS
========== tables until after the server is rebooted.

IMPORTANT: After downgrading IMM firmware from version 1.22
========== to an earlier version, the user needs to reset the
IMM to factory default before normal operation.

attempt that is necessary to find external devices.
- Fixed an issue where, on a 1078 chip, firmware was not properly marking a
drive dead. Consequently, a write to that drive would appear to complete
successfully, but would actually fail, therefore the data could be
incorrect.

Emulex BE2/BE3 Firmware Package
===============================================================================

Firmware version: 4.6.281.21 (supported on IBM System x, BladeCenter and Flex)

Problems Fixed:
- OCe10 VFA CNAs stuck in "Switch Independent Mode"
- Port Identification fails on Port 1 under uEFI menu for PCIe rack VFA

Incremental Interoperability:
- Emulex Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ VFA IIIr for IBM System x
- Emulex Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Embedded VFA IIIr for IBM System x
- IBM Flex System CN4054R 10Gb Virtual Fabric Adapter
- IBM Ivy Bridge CPU Based Servers

Known Issues:
- After making changes to any options in the sub-menus under 'controller
configuration' in the Emulex UEFI NIC configuration utility and escaping
to the prior menu, there is no prompt to save the changes. Be sure to
select 'Save' before exiting the configuration menu. Applies to some
legacy rack and blade servers.

- Intermittently, when changing the multichannel mode, the system will not
auto-reboot after exiting F1 UEFI setup and will continue through POST.
Manually reboot the server to ensure all changes are applied. Applies to
some legacy rack and blade servers.

- When using a Cisco Nexus 4001i Switch Module, intermittently the 10Gb link
may come up as 1Gb link speed. An internal switch port bounce will typically
establish a 10Gb link. Setting the switch port speed to fixed 10000 will
also allow a guaranteed 10Gb connection. More info available in the Cisco
Nexus 4001i Switch Module firmware release notes.

===============================================================================

Firmware version: 4.6.281.8 (supported on IBM System x, BladeCenter and Flex)

Problems Fixed:
- HW iSCSI offload is now supported in UFP Mode (UFP limited to IBM Flex)
- Server may hang during boot with multichannel disabled with switch default
settings. The IBM 10Gb Virtual Fabric Switch has trunking enabled and the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module has ports in "Access" mode. If the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module ports are switched to trunking mode,
the hang no longer occurs.
- When using Config Patterns with virtual MACs the bandwidth settings are
are intermittently reset after some number of server reboots.

Incremental Interoperability:
- IBM Flex System Fabric SI4093 System Interconnect Module
- IBM Flex System EN6131 40Gb Ethernet Switch
- IBM Flex System x222 10Gb Virtual Fabric LOM
- SLES 11.3 on IBM System x and BladeCenter
- Complete NIC/iSCSI/FCoE support for ASU/Config Patterns for Flex and ASU
for IBM System x & BladeCenter

Known Issues:
- After making changes to any options in the sub-menus under 'controller
configuration' in the Emulex UEFI NIC configuration utility and escaping
to the prior menu, there is no prompt to save the changes. Be sure to
select 'Save' before exiting the configuration menu. Applies to some

establish a 10Gb link. Setting the switch port speed to fixed 10000 will
also allow a guaranteed 10Gb connection. More info available in the Cisco
Nexus 4001i Switch Module firmware release notes.

===============================================================================

Firmware version: 4.6.166.9 (supported on IBM System x & BladeCenter)

Problems Fixed:
- When connected to Cisco Nexus 4k and 5k switches, the virtual link may not
recover on a switch port bounce (shut/no shut) in an ESXi environment. A
switch port re-bounce will recover the link.

- When connected to Cisco Nexus 4k and 5k switches, OneCommand Manager reports
CRC's and there is poor network performance in an ESXi environment

- In some cases of heavy traffic or broadcast storm, users can experience a
loss of ethernet connectivity or PSOD (ESXi)

Incremental Interoperability:
- ASU/Config Pattern configuration for iSCSI and FCoE (BE3)
- UFP for iSCSI (BE3)
- Support for using 10Gb ports with legacy 1Gb switches installed in a
BladeCenter-S chassis or MSIM/MSIM-T expansion units in a BladeCenter-H or

auto-reboot after exiting F1 UEFI setup and will continue through POST.
Manually reboot the server to ensure all changes are applied. Applies to
some legacy rack and blade servers.

- Server may hang during boot with multichannel disabled with switch default
settings. The IBM 10Gb Virtual Fabric Switch has trunking enabled and the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module has ports in "Access" mode. If the
Brocade Converged 10Gbe Switch Module ports are switched to trunking mode,
the hang no longer occurs.

- When using a Cisco Nexus 4001i Switch Module, intermittently the 10Gb link
may come up as 1Gb link speed. An internal switch port bounce will typically
establish a 10Gb link. Setting the switch port speed to fixed 10000 will
also allow a guaranteed 10Gb connection. More info available in the Cisco
Nexus 4001i Switch Module firmware release notes.

- BIOS Version: 6.30.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.30.00.00
- BSD Version: 3.12.00.05

Fixes:
- Address issue in BSD code where the RegisterSupport() for all handles are
called incorrectly.

Enhancement:
- Supress Link Error Count in EFI Configuration Utility


Version 2.70 - Critical
------------
Contains:
- BIOS Version: 6.30.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.30.00.00
- BSD Version: 3.12.00.03

Fixes:
- Changed BIOS text to state an IS Volume creation can be 1 to 10 drives.
- Fixed issue with 2TB and above drives where SAS MPT BIOS CU reports wrong
array size.
- Adjusted NVSRAM access timing to fix an issue that could prevent controller
detection during POST.
- Addressed an issue that will maintain Target IDs for attached devices to
an enclosure if the enclosure is removed for a short time.

Functionality:
- Initial release for:
BladeCenter HS22V onboard LSI 1064e controller


Version 2.69b - Non-critical
-------------
Contains:
- BIOS Version: 6.26.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.27.88.00
- BSD Version: 3.12.00.03

Enhancement:
- Added support for Blade Open Fabric Manager (BOFM) for uEFI Blades.


Version 2.69 - Suggested
------------
Contains:
- BIOS Version: 6.26.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.27.88.00
- BSD Version: 3.10.00.01

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where, after running heavy I/O to NCQ enabled SATA drives,
the controller may log false data underruns for read or write I/Os. The
PHY on which the I/Os were reported as underrun may eventually lock up.


Version 2.66 - Suggested
------------
Contains:
- BIOS Version: 6.26.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.27.86.00
- BSD Version: 3.10.00.01

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Solid State Drives (SSDs) were not seen after a link
reset.
- Fixed an issue where direct attached SATA drives were not reported missing
after they were removed. This could result in degraded or failed volumes
being reported as healthy.
- Fixed an issue introduced by new functionality in package 2.50. The issue
would cause a dual attached device to be hidden from both the direct
connection and the expander connection.
- Changed the behavior during drive quiescing/un-quiescing to prevent the
drive metadata from being unnecessarily updated.
- Fixed an issue where drives might go offline during a firmware update, due
to I/O timeouts caused by the length of time needed to update the firmware.


Version 2.63 - Suggested
------------
Contains:
- BIOS Version: 6.26.00.00
- Firmware Version: 1.27.83.00
- BSD Version: 3.10.00.01

Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where volumes can become inactive due to the metadata on the
drives getting out of synch with NVSRAM.

Functionality:
- Initial release for:
BladeCenter HS22 onboard LSI 1064e controller
