TABLE 1-12 LSI Firmware Phase 16 Features
Feature
|
Description
|
PhyVacant bit
|
Added to PhyInfo SAS Expander Page 1. Value 1 when expander reports PHY_VACANT for this phy.
|
Dynamically enable and disable Phys
|
Changes in the PhyDisable bit take effect immediately upon issuing a Write Current action on SAS IOUnit Page 1. Any devices attached to phys dynamically disabled will be removed normally through discovery.
|
Ability to wait for boot device to be present prior to replying to PortEnable
|
Boot Device Wait Time field in SAS IO Unit Page #2 that specifies maximum delay for the PortEnable response until the boot device specified in BIOS Page #2 is located.
|
SCSI to SATA Write Long command translation
|
SCSI Write Long command translated to SATA Write Uncorrectable EXT command.
|
TABLE 1-13 LSI Firmware Phase 15 Features
Feature
|
Description
|
Firmware resource availablity
|
Target-mode driver can determine available resources.
|
Support for increased SATA drive NCQ depth
|
Firmware can now utilize 16-command and 32-command queue depths on drives that support them.
|
Configure initial AWT advertised.
|
Whenever the IOC attempts to open an end device or expander, the OPEN address frame contains an ARBITRATION WAIT TIME (AWT) value that is used to resolve deadlocks occurring when another device in the topology attempts to open the IOC at the same time. The initial value programmed into this field is now configurable via NVDATA.
|
Optionally disable phy lockup Workaround
|
The phy lockup workaround periodically examines each direct-attached phy and resets the link if it detects that an in-progress data transfer has stalled for too long. Now, it is possible to disable the phy lockup workaround for direct-attached phys with end devices, expanders, or both (which effectively disables the workaround altogether).
|
Enable/Disable Integrated RAID data scrub on SSDs
|
SSDScrubDisable flag (off by default) disables data scrub on RAID 1 and RAID 1E valumes consistings of SSDs.
|
Support for Sun StorageTek 2500 Series
|
Supports new CONNECTOR TYPE field in SMP DISCOVER Response
|
Increase minimum supported target ports to 2444
|
Keeps 10 bus/target IDs reserved for foreign volumes. This increases the number of supported foreign volumes from 2 to 5 since foreign volumes can consume 2 bus/target IDs per volume.
|
TABLE 1-14 LSI Firmware Phase 14 Features
Feature
|
Description
|
Internal Device Reset Completion Event
|
Internal TARGET RESET request during various error conditions instead of a host notification event. Sends MPI_EVENT_SAS_DEVICE_STATUS_CHANGE (0x0F) with a reason code of MPI_EVENT_SAS_DEV_STAT_RC_CMPL_INTERNAL_DEV_RESET (0x0E)
|
Inaccessible Initiator Reason Code for SAS Initiator Device Status Change Event
|

|
SATA Init Failure Bit
|
New bit in DiscoveryStatus field of SAS Discovery Error Events to indicate SATA Init failure.
|
SGPIOType 3 to Modulate Activity LED with Disk I/O
|
New event identical to SGPIOType 4, except that IOC’s SGPIO Initiator modules the activity bit when I/O’s are outstanding.
|
MPT FWUpload Support for Entire Flash Image
|
Previously, an MPT FWUploadrequest with the ImageTypefield set to MPI_FW_UPLOAD_ITYPE_COMPLETE (0x0A) would immediately fail back to the host with an IOCLogInfoof 0x3003E003 (IOP_LOGINFO_CODE_FWUPLOAD_ENTIRE_FLASH_UPLOAD_FAILED). Now, the request is processed and firmware will upload the entire contents of flash to host memory.

Firmware Upgrade Special Considerations
This section describes bugs, unexpected behavior, and other considerations that might affect an upgrade to the firmware included in this release.
Current Issues
ILOM Upgrade Using ipmiflash Not Supported With 2.0.2.1(6668957)
The ipmiflash utility cannot be used to upgrade the ILOM software from 2.0.2.1 to later versions.
Workaround
Use the ILOM command line interface, as described in “Updating the BIOS and ILOM Firmware” on page 19.
New ILOM Flash Update Layout
Starting with ILOM 1.1.1, the firmware uses a new, more reliable flash layout. Because of the layout changes, special steps might be required to downgrade to previous ILOM 1.0.x releases.
You might have to perform the flash downgrade to 1.0.x process 2 times, to reformat the flash layout to the old format. If the flash downgrade through GUI, CLI, or N1 System Manager, does not succeed the first time, retry a second time to complete the process.
The new ILOM flash process only powers off the host if a new BIOS version is needed. The ILOM CLI load command provides the -f option to force update of all components. Use the following command to force updating all firmware components:
load -f -source tftp: //tftpserver/firmware.ima
where tftpserver is a trivial file-transfer protocol (TFTP) server and firmware is the name of the image file, such as ilom.x4600m2-1.1.1.ima.
ILOM CD Appears Blank (6554839)
The CD used to upgrade the ILOM appears blank when viewed from the OS. This is expected behavior.
FRU Information Appears Empty After Updating the ILOM Firmware and the BIOS (6406138)
The host CPU and DIMM FRU information shown by the service processor is provided to the service processor during each BIOS power-on self-test (POST). Therefore, after a BIOS/ILOM upgrade, this FRU information is empty until the first host BIOS POST.
Workaround
This is expected behavior. Reset the server and allow it to complete POST during bootup to repopulate the FRU lists.
Performing Update From CLI Might Result in Keyboard Redirection Error Dialog Box in JavaRConsole (6485951)
If you use the CLI to perform the update and JavaRConsole is active, a dialog box might appear in JavaRConsole with the following message and an OK button:
Keyboard redirection error: an established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine
Workaround
This is expected behavior. Click OK in the dialog box to continue. It is possible that clicking the OK button will not close the dialog box. In that case, terminate the JavaRConsole process. For example, on a Windows platform, press Control+Alt+Delete to bring up the list of open processes, then terminate the JavaRConcole process.
ILOM 1.0.x Upgrade Might Fail BIOS Flash (6499287)
ILOM service processor might not successfully update the BIOS version, if a previous flash upgrade has failed. If the BIOS version is not correct after ILOM flash upgrade completes, use the -f force flag on the ILOM CLI load command, to force BIOS flash upgrade. For details, see “New ILOM Flash Update Layout” on page 13.
When Downgrading from Quad-Core to Dual-Core, No Firmware Downgrade is Necessary (6732882)
If you downgrade from quad-core to dual-core, no firmware downgrade is necessary. An upgrade to the latest firmware is recommended.
SIA Upgrade of BIOS/LSI Firmware Not Supported (6681743)
(Fixed in Software 2.2.)
Upgrading the BIOS and LSI firmware using the Sun Installation Assistant (SIA) utility is not supported in Software 2.1. Upgrading the Service Processor (ILOM) firmware is supported.
For more information on SIA, refer to the Sun Installation Assistant for Windows and Linux User's Guide.
ILOM in Software 1.3 Causes FRU Data to be Lost (6631275)
(Fixed in Software 1.3a.)
Software 1.3 for the Sun Fire X4600 M2 contains a build of ILOM 2.0.2.1 with a serious bug. Upgrading to this ILOM version causes FRU data to be lost. Because of this, Software 1.3 has been withdrawn and replaced by Software 1.3A.
If you have not yet upgraded to the ILOM provided with Software 1.3, this issue does not affect you. Simply discard any copies of Software 1.3 and obtain Software 1.3A, which contains ILOM firmware with the fix.
If you have upgraded to the ILOM provided with Software 1.3, you must install the ILOM firmware provided with Software 1.3A. Doing so will both remove the bug and recover some of the lost FRU data. The remaining FRU data must be re-entered manually.
|
Caution - If you have installed the ILOM firmware included in Software 1.3 do not downgrade to an older version of the ILOM firmware. Doing so will prevent any of the lost data from being recovered. The only recovery mechanism is to install the ILOM build provided with Software 1.3A.
|
Identifying your ILOM Firmware
You can identify your ILOM firmware using the ILOM CLI or WebGUI:
- From the CLI enter the version command.
- From the WebGUI, bring up the System Information/Versions tab.
In the information you obtain, find the “Firmware Version” (just “Firmware” in the CLI) and “Firmware Build Number”. Depending on the values you obtain, you should take one of the following actions:
- If the “Firmware Version” is 2.0.2.1 and the “Firmware Build Number” is 23233, then you have installed the ILOM firmware included in Software 1.3. You must install the replacement ILOM firmware in Software 1.3A and re-enter some lost data, as described in “Lost FRU Data and How To Recover it.” on page 16
- If the “Firmware Version” is 2.0.2.1 and the “Firmware Build Number” is 26075, then you have already installed the ILOM firmware included in Software 1.3A. No further action is required.
- If the “Firmware Version” and “Firmware Build Number” are any other values, then this issue does not affect you.
Lost FRU Data and How To Recover it.
|
The ILOM bug causes the following FRU data to be lost:
- Product Part Number
- Product Serial Number
- Chassis Serial Number
You can recover the Product Part Number and Product Serial Number by installing the ILOM firmware provided with Software 1.3A. If you downgraded the ILOM after observing the problem, Product Part Number and Product Serial Number are lost permanently, and must be re-entered. Chassis Serial Number must be re-entered in any case.
Follow these steps to re-enter the lost FRU data:
1. Use SSH to log in to the “sunservice” ILOM account. From the Solaris or Linux command line:
ssh -l sunservice ipaddress
where ipaddress is the Service Processor IP address.
2. Enter one of the following commands. If you only need to re-enter the chassis serial number, enter:
servicetool --fru_chassis_serial_number
If you need to re-enter all three FRU values, enter:
servicetool --fru_product_part_number --fru_product_serial_number --fru_chassis_serial_number
3. Enter the FRU information when prompted.
Cannot Log in to WebGUI After Flashing New Image (6513809)
(Fixed in Software 1.3a.)
After flashing a new image, you may not be able to log in to the WebGUI. This can happen if the WebGUI is open when the new image is flashed.
Workaround
Clear the browser’s cache and cookies.
Cannot Log in to the Service Processor with 16-Character Passwords using ILOM Web GUI or CLI (6286187)
(Fixed in Software 1.3a.)
If your password contains exactly 16 characters, you will not be able to log in to the service processor (SP) using either the ILOM web GUI or CLI.
Workaround
Choose a password containing fewer than 16 characters.
ILOM Upgrade Might Fail BIOS Flash (6499287)
(Fixed in Software 1.1.)
ILOM service processor might not successfully update the BIOS version if a previous flash upgrade has failed.
This issue applies only up to ILOM 1.1.1.
Workaround
If the BIOS version is not correct after ILOM flash upgrade completes, force the BIOS flash upgrade using the -f force flag on the ILOM CLI load command.
