[ER42601 closed] Version 9.0.2.17 QL 3.03.13 * Firmware versions: 3.03.16 (2Gb). Firmware (Embedded in Driver) ----------------------------- The following lists show the changes and bug fixes to the firmware that is embedded in the drivers for the 4Gb Fibre Channel Adapters and 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapters from versions 4.03.01 to 5.04.04. From Version 5.04.02 to 5.04.04 Changes ------- * 2500 Series. Ensured that correct slot-specific SerDes settings will be used for specific mezzanine cards. [ER78047] Bug Fixes --------- None From Version 5.04.01 to 5.04.02 Changes ------- * Current Fibre Channel Adapter firmware supports maximum frame sizes of 512, 1024, and 2048 in the received PLOGI or PLOGI-ACC. This change provides an option to disable this restriction by setting bit 6 of Firmware Options 2 through Set Additional Firmware Options Mailbox Command (038h). Note that this option bypasses the Maximum Transmit Data Frame Size set by the Set Transmit Parameters Mailbox Command (019h). [ER76448] Bug Fixes --------- None From Version 5.04.00 to 5.04.01 Changes ------- * Option to Disable Automatic FDISC: Currently, the firmware automatically performs FDISC for enabled virtual ports (VPs) upon receiving an FLOGI_ACC. This procedure does not mesh well with driver architectures, which typically control the FDISCs. A new option bit allows you to suppress the automatic FDISCs. This option bit is available in both the ISP25xx and ISP81xx firmware. Older firmware ignores this option bit. Functional Description: The Disable FDISC bit (multi-ID initialize firmware control block, Global VP Options field, bit 4) disables the automatic FDISCs. If this bit is set, any VPs enabled in the multi-ID initialize firmware control block remain enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state. The driver must issue a Modify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC after it receives the report ID acquisition (RIDA) for VP0. When Disable FDISC is set, no FDISC is transmitted for the enabled VPs on any event, which results in a FLOGI. The driver should issue a Modify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC for a specific VP (after receiving the RIDA for VP0). The driver must instruct the firmware to transmit an FDISC for all enabled VPs. After all the FDISC is completed, the firmware state changes to ready. In addition, a Port Database Changed AEN (8014h), with the Outgoing Mailbox 1 register set to FFFFh and Outgoing Mailbox 2 register set to 6h, is generated and passed to the driver. If the driver does not transmit FDISC for a VP, the driver must disable that specific VP using Virtual Port Control IOCB (Entry Type field 30h). This step is needed because a VP is enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state, which can prevent the firmware state from changing to ready, and prevent generation of the Port Database AEN as previously stated. The option applies only to fabric point-to-point topology and NPIV environments. [ER74448] * Added option to disable PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit. To disable the PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit (PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit is set by default), set bit 6 of the additional firmware option 3 of the Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox Commands). This option has to be set prior to Initialize Firmware mailbox command (60h or 48h). [ER74764] Bug Fixes --------- * Customer-specific fix. [ER74764] * 24xx/25xx MID. Fixes potential drops of PRLI request or firmware incorrectly assigning multiple N_Port Handles for same Port_id. [ER73958] From Version 5.03.00 to 5.04.00 Changes ------- * Customer-specific changes.[ER69516, ER70666, ER71711, ER71936, ER69589, ER70279, ER69620, ER71031, ER72037, ER73006] * 81xx only. Added Additional Firmware Options 2, bit 9 to improve NIC bandwidth when NIC and FCoE receive traffic are running concurrently. [ER69565] * 81xx/25xx MIDQ only. Provide capability in Queue Management (1Fh) mailbox command to move a queue base address. For details, refer to the Multiple Queue Support for 2500 Series Fibre Channel and 8100 Series Converged Network Adapter Controllers Applications Note. [ER69606] * 81xx only. Added support for LR Optics. Requires MPI FW 1.39.00 or later with proper configuration files. [ER69613] * Added an Additional Firmware Options 3 bit to discard any frames received out of order unless the Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 6 (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set to 1. Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) Mailbox Command interface: - Add to Additional Firmware Option 3 Bits (Incoming mailbox 3 register) Table: Bit 15 Do not transfer received out of order data for an exchange to host memory (except during SRR recovery). - Replace bit_15 description with: Bit 15 (Do not transfer received out of order data for an exchange to host memory). When this bit is set to 1, the ISP firmware does not transfer received out-of-order data for an exchange to host memory, except during SRR recovery. A frame is considered "out-of-order" after a previously-received frame is dropped due to an error, as well as a true out-of-order frame receipt condition. NOTE: Bit 15 is ignored when Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 6 (Enable Receive Out-of-Order Data Frame Handling) is set to 1. [ER70311] * 24xx/25xx only. Bit 8 of State Flags field in Status IOCB Type has been changed from Reserved to "Unable to send OPN to Destination." This bit is set when the destination device sends an immediate CLS in response to an OPN from ISP. [ER71132] * Add option to disable the firmware automatic port login (PLOGI) to the simple name server (SNS). To enable this feature, set Bit 15 of Additional Firmware Options 2 when issuing Set Additional Firmware Options Mailbox Command 0038h. [ER71742] * 24xx SB2 only. Return the lower 16-bit of current RBC count in Receive IU and Add Buffer IOCBs. This extends the scope of ER68875 to include 24xx. - For IOCB type 0x4D, the lower 16-bit of the counter is stored at offset 0x3E to 0x3F. - For IOCB type 0x4C, the lower 16-bit is stored at offset 0x1C to 0x1D. [ER71764] * 81xx only. Added an Additional Firmware Options 2 bit to post all Asynchronous IOCBs to the ATIO queue when target mode is enabled. Changes to Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) mailbox command interface: - Add to Additional Firmware Option 2 Bits (Incoming mailbox 2 register) Table: Bit 11 Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue. - Replace bit 11 description with: Bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue). When this bit is set to 1, the firmware posts all asynchronous IOCBs (PUREX, ABTS Received, and Report ID Acquisition) to the ATIO queue when target operation is enabled. Additionally, if a login-affecting ELS command (PLOGI, PRLI, PRLO, LOGO, ADISC, PDISC, or TPRLO) is passed up to the target driver, an Immediate Notify IOCB with Status Code 46h, Login affecting ELS command received, shall not be sent. Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO Queue) is used to request the firmware place an Ethernet Header Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before each PUREX and ABTS Received IOCB. Initialize Firmware Options 3 bit 27 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue) shall be ignored. When bit 11 is set to 0, the firmware posts asynchronous IOCBs to queues specified in the ISP81xx firmware specification. Changes to Initialize Firmware, Firmware Options 3: - Bit 27 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for Response Queue). When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, this bit is ignored. - Bit 26 (Enable Ethernet Header Receive IOCB for ATIO Queue). When Additional Firmware Option 2 bit 11 (Enable Asynchronous IOCBs to ATIO queue) is set, and this bit is set, the firmware places an Ethernet Header Receive IOCB on the ATIO queue before each PUREX and ABTS Received IOCB. [ER71877] * MID only. Send LOGO if an FDISC is rejected with error/explanation code 03/0D. After LOGO ACC is received, the firmware retries the FDISC. [ER72460] Bug Fixes --------- * 81xx only.
