changelog:
  -     *The following issues have been fixed in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Firmware got into an unresponsive state and caused unexpected behavior when connecting an optical transceiver that support RxLOS and the remote side port was down.
        * The system could not create more than 128K QPs.
        * On rare occasions, the system got into an unresponsive state when a peer port went down while using an Optical module.
        * Packet Pacing rate was used if asymmetric VFs was enabled.
        * Incorrect RNR timeout when trying to set it during the rts2rts_qp transition.
        * Issue with RSS on IPSec flows in ConnectX-4 Lx led to performance degradation. In this scenario, the SPI optimization caused packets from a given host to hash to the same CPU core. The fix was to ignore SPI optimization according to l4_type in ConnectX-4 Lx adapter cards.
        * The GetInventory NC-SI command reported leading 0xf in firmware version when it started with 0.

changelog:
  -     *Firmware for the following devices has been updated to 14.32.1010:**
      
        * P21930-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ MCX4121A-XCAT Adapter)
        * P11341-B21 (HPE Ethernet 10Gb 2-port SFP+ MCX4621A-ACAB OCP3 Adapter)
      
      
      
      **Firmware for the following device has been updated to 16.33.1048:**
      
        * P21927-B21 (HPE Ethernet 100Gb 2-Port QSFP28 MCX516A-CCHT Adapter)
      
      
      
      **New features and changes included in version 14.32.1010:**
      
        * Added 3 new assert filters (Health buffer, NVlog, FW trace). The assert will be exposed now if its severity level is equal to or above the new filter.
        * Enabled Rate Limit per VM instead of VM-TC. This capability is implemented by adding support to a new Scheduling element type: rate limit elements that will connect to the rate_limit and will share its  rate limit.
        * Added support for asymmetrical VFs per PF. To enable it:PF_NUM_OF_VF_VALID must be true, and PF_NUM_OF_VF to a non-zero value.
        * Limited the external loopback speed to the used module's capabilities.
        * Improved linkup time when using the fast linkup capability.
        * Added support for the slow_restart and slow_restart_idle parameters to enable Zero Touch RoCE capability.
      
      .  
      
      **New features and changes included in version 16.33.1048:**
      
        * Added pci_rescan_needed field to the MFRL access register to indicate whether a PCI rescan is needed based on the NV configurations issued by the software.  
      Note: If the Keep Link Up NV configuration is changed, phyless reset will be
      blocked.
      
        * Added a new MAD of class SMP that has the attributes hierarchy_Info as defined in the IB Specification and is used to query the hierarchy information stored on the node and the physical port.
        * Added a new register (vhca_icm_ctrl access_reg) to enable querying and limiting the ICM pages in use.
        * Enhanced the XRQ QP error information provided to the user in case QP goes into an error state. In such case, QUERY_QP will provide information on the syndrome type and which side caused the error.
        * Replaced the deprecated NetworkPort schema with Port schema in NIC RDE implementation.
        * Updated the ibstat status reported when the phy link is down. Now QUERY_VPORT_STATE.max_tx_speed of UPLINK will not be reported as 0 anymore.
        * Disabled the option to send SMPs from unauthorized hosts.
        * Enabled the option to modify the ip_ecn field in the packet header in firmware steering.
        * Modified the TX or RX cache invalidation behavior. TX or RX cache invalidation now does not occur automatically but only when the software performs the sync operation using the using sync_steering command.
        * Modified the maximum bulk size per single allocation from "log_table_size - log_num_unisizes", to allocate any range size, to remove limitations that HWS objects such as counters and modify arguments might encounter.
        * Enabled delay drop for hairpin packets. If a hairpin QP is created with delay_drop_en enabled, the feature will be enabled across all GVMIs, based on the delay drop status.

      **The following issues have been fixed in version 16.34.1002:**
      
        * An issue where set_flow_table_entry failed when aso_flow_meter action was used.
        * A race condition that occured between the duplicate read and QP commands (2RST, 2ERR and Destroy) in the signature that caused the command to hang.
        * When all traffic applications sharing the same combination of <function, priority, side> were rate limited (for example by congestion control), this limit was enforced on other applications with different combinations of <function, priority, side> under the same VL. For example, requestor flows (RDMA-write) were limited to rate X, however, this rate was also enforced on a QP sending RDMA-read responses. This firmware version prevents rate limit enforcement on traffic applications which should not be limited.

author: HP Linux Development <Linux_SWdeliverables@external.groups.hpe.com> 1.0.4
changelog:
  -     *Following issues have been fixed in firmware version 14.29.1016 and 16.29.1016:**
      
        * Changed the default value of DCQCN's NP parameter min_time_between_cnps to 4 on all devices to support larger scalability of cluster.
        * An issue that caused packets to drop due to header size issues and/or failing checks. This issue was caused due to a Linux issue that caused VFs to set the wrong header size value in wqe_inline_header_mode input.
        * When MKEY_BY_NAME was enabled by NVCONFIG and a large number of VFs are configured, VM restart (VF/PF FLR) might take longer than when MKEY_BY_NAME was disabled.
        * In rare cases, a fatal error related to errors from the PCI transport layer might be reported during FLR.
        * 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:**

        * Ethernet wqe_too_small Mode: A per vPort that counts the number of packets that reached the Ethernet RQ but cannot fit into the WQE due to their large size. Additionally, we added the option to control if such packet will cause "CQE with Error" or "CQE_MOCK".
        * Hardware steering dump output used for debugging and troubleshooting.
        * cq_overrun counter: The counter represents the number of times CQs enter an error state due to overflow that occur when the device tries to post a CQE into a full CQ buffer.
        * Enabled the capability to allow Virtual Functions to send Pause Frames packets. (Beta).
        * Enabled 10/25GbE auto-sensing with 3rd party when using 10/25GbE optical cables.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option to Server Security
      called UEFI Variable Access Firmware Control. This option, when enabled, can
      be used to block UEFI Variable writes, such as to the UEFI Boot Order, from
      the Operating System or a third-party utility. HPE recommends leaving this
      capability disabled unless the user specifically wants to prevent the
      operating system's normal operation of writing to UEFI Variables, which
      typically occur during OS install.

      Addressed an issue where in the OS does not display the true CPU Max Core
      Frequency.
      
      Addressed an issue with AMD EPYC 1st Generation processors that can result in
      Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events being logged to the Integrated
      Management Log (IML) in cases when they should not be logged. The system
      monitors corrected errors and notifies the user when action is required due to
      an increased risk of an Uncorrected Memory Error. Corrected Memory errors are
      a normal and expected occurrence and do not always indicate a higher risk of
      an Uncorrected Memory Error. Previous revisions of the System ROM were
      incorrectly logging Corrected Memory Error Threshold Events to the IML when
      action should not have been required, resulting in unnecessary scheduled
      downtime to replace DIMMs. It is recommended that the System ROM be updated to
      this version before replacing DIMMs due to Corrected Memory Error Threshold
      Events.

changelog:
  -     Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Dynamic PCIe Rate
      Change. This option should be enabled for certain PCIe devices that change
      their advertised speed during training. The option is disabled by default, and
      should only be enabled if the system is configured with a device which is
      training at a less than advertised speed.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for MCTP Broadcast
      Support. This option is used to control the PCIe Management Component
      Transport Protocol (MCTP) support for a given slot. This option can be used to
      disable MCTP support to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support
      this protocol. It is recommended that this option remain enabled for full
      system functionality.

changelog:
  -     Add new System Configuration (RBSU) configuration options that allow
      controlling the processor's P0 (maximum) frequency. This includes the "Custom
      Pstate0" option with settings of "Auto" (default) and "Manual" and the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option that allows setting the P0 frequency. When
      the "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Manual", the value of the
      "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" is used for the processor's P0 frequency. When the
      "Custom Pstate0" option is configured for "Auto", the processor uses its
      normal, maximum P0 frequency and the "Pstate0 Frequency(MHz)" option is not
      configurable. In System Configuration (RBSU), these options are located under
      the BIOS/Processor Options. This setting has the following Redfish

  -     Add new System Configuration (RBSU) configuration options that allow
      controlling the processors P0 (maximum) frequency. This includes the Custom
      Pstate0 option with settings of Auto (default) and Manual and the Pstate0
      Frequency(MHz) option that allows setting the P0 frequency. When the Custom
      Pstate0 option is configured for Manual, the value of the Pstate0
      Frequency(MHz) is used for the processors P0 frequency. When the Custom
      Pstate0 option is configured for Auto, the processor uses its normal, maximum
      P0 frequency and the Pstate0 Frequency(MHz) option is not configurable. In
      System Configuration (RBSU), these options are located under the
      BIOS/Processor Options. This setting has the following Redfish properties:

changelog:
  -     Added support for Microsoft Windows Server 2022. Windows Server 2022 adds a
      new security feature called Secured-core. Secured-core is only supported on
      Intel Xeon Processors. Secured-core servers use a combination of hardware
      features, firmware enablement and Windows Server operating system capabilities
      to provide protection against malware and rootkit security exploits.
      
      Added a new BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) option for Microsoft Secured-
      core Support. Enabling this setting makes the following policy changes and
      configures the corresponding options: Intel Virtualization Technology
      enabled, Intel VT-d enabled, Intel TXT Support enabled, Secure Boot enabled,
      TPM enabled in 2.0 mode. Disabling any of these features while Secured-core is
      enabled can prevent Secured-core from working properly.
      
      Added in support for legacy UEFI boot.
      
      Added support for Intel Pentium CPUs.

  -     Changed the default setting of Intel VT-d Virtualization to enabled to align
      with all other Gen10 and Gen10 Plus ProLiant servers. This will not affect the
      current setting of this option when upgrading to the v1.54 04/01/2022 System
      ROM. However, when defaults are restored on a system with the v1.54 or later
      System ROM, Intel VT-d Virtualization will be enabled.
