3 2.2 Bug Fixes The following fixes were made for the 10Gb BIOS: Changed code to use FS segment register instead of GS in find_device routine. Change code to preserve MSB of WWPN Set Capability CLP when updating WWPN/WWNN. 2.3 Known Issues The driver does not support QLogic 24xx/25xx based adapters. 2.4 Additional Information None Gb EFI UEFI, including: 3.1 Changes 3.2 Bug Fixes 3.3 Known Issues 3.4 Additional Information 3.1 Changes The following changes were made to the 10Gb UEFI: 3.2 Bug Fixes The following fixes were made for 10Gb UEFI: Added workaround for SANsurfer/CLI flash bug. SANsurfer does not update VPD checksum during flash update. This prevented the driver from attaching to the controller. (ER66617) Driver now executes a MPI reset after the MPI firmware is updated. (ER66930) When RemDevPath=NULL, the second call (and beyond) to Supported() and Start() return EFI_ALREADY_STARTED. (ER66656) Now driver start() return success for first command "DFLT"/"UPDT"/"HVST" and free private memory. (ER66960) Multi-boot Image for Qxx8xxx Converged Network Adapters Release Notes 3 of 8

4 Added support to update multi-boot version ("RM") info in VPD area. (ER66757) Added fix to allow BIOS to load Alt Boot device when BOFM is enabled in UEFI blade. (ER66792) Reduced driver start time. (ER66366) Fixed hang during update.nsh. The driver was not unloading properly. (ER67944) Do not display driver banner on IBM servers. (ER68453) 3.3 Known Issues The driver does not support QLogic 24xx/25xx based adapters. 3.4 Additional Information Efiutilx64 and the UEFI driver are a matched set. Always make sure that Efiutilx64 and the UEFI driver are from the same release package. Use update.nsh to update the Converged Network Adapter Flash on the UEFI-based servers Gb FCode FCode, including: 4.1 Changes 4.2 Bug Fixes 4.3 Known Issues 4.4 Additional Information 4.1 Changes The following changes were made in this release: 4.2 Bug Fixes The following fixes were made to the 10Gb FCode: Fix Node-Name-Option bit preservation in restore-default-settings. (ER68181). Remove patch of PCI header image size byte at offset 0x2c from init version. Fix default WWNN and WWPN preservation in restore-default-settings. (ER67924).

5 Add standard properties. Use m4 utility to automatically create date string. Add file rev_level.m4, which has the revision level strings only. Remove SFP state: Unknown message (.isp) if the adapter is IBM mezzanine card. Add FCoE and 4Gb IBM mezzanine cards QMI8142, QMC2462, QMI3472, and QMI2472 to imezz? word. Change messages Login failed to Login Abort and Error Subcode to Subcode. Re-structure Flash/NVRAM access words for the NetXen P3 integration. Add 'make nx3031' to makefile for NetXen P3. #ifdef P3 used for delineation. Change version string from 3.07b2 to Official Release for IBM and Sun. Fix read-cap16-cmd. Used when the LUN size is >2TB (that is, #blocks > 32-bits). Fix disk-test to work with large (>2TB) LUNs, where the LBA> 32-bits. Remove command retry when 8048 AEN is received. Caused DMA error found by IBM. This was an old workaround put in vers1.08b2, before IOCB timeouts were set. Fix qlgc-debug? option for IBM. Use find-method on IBM and $find on Sun adapters. Add option for qlgc-debug? in nvramrc. If the diag-switch? is true, then the debug? flag is set to the value of qlgc-debug?. Add lba64 large disk capability (read-blocks64 write-blocks64) for Sun only. Add support for QEM3572, SSDID = x172, for Sun only.
