===============================================================================
Emulex NIC Device Driver for Linux
===============================================================================

Driver Version: 4.6.267.4 (supported on IBM System x, BladeCenter and Flex)

Problems Fixed:
- Under certain conditions, performance issues may be seen with multi-channel
in RHEL6.4 KVM configurations
- Under certain conditions, performance issues may be seen with multi-channel
in RHEL6.4 SR-IOV configurations
- SR-IOV configuration section of the Linux NIC Driver Documentation has been
modified to improve clarity

Incremental Interoperability:
- S3 Resume on IBM Flex
- SLES 11.3 on IBM System x and BladeCenter

Known Issues:
- SRIOV is supported with the following Linux distributions:
RHEL 6.3 and 6.4 64 bit
RHEL 6.3 and 6.4 64 bit with KVM
(guest support is dependent on the Emulex driver version present in the
guest)

SLES11 SP2 and SP3 64 bit
SLES11 SP2 and SP3 64 bit with KVM
(guest support is dependent on the Emulex driver version present in the
guest)

Use of SR-IOV with the XEN hypervisor is not supported at this time
Use of SR-IOV with the KVM hypervisor requires the use of macvlan
interfaces

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

Device Driver Version: 4.6.148.0 (Supported on IBM System x & BladeCenter)

Problems Fixed:
- Ethernet performance issues in a variety of workloads
- VFs are not displayed after driver re-load when is VFs attached to VM
- vLAN tagging in Switch Agnostic vNIC mode

Incremental Interoperability:
- RHEL 5.9
- RHEL 6.4
- Network performance varies with workload. An ethernet driver tuning script
and instructions is now included with the be2net driver.
- Switch Independent Mode within hypervisor OS's

Known Issues:
- Multi-channel is not supported in RHEL5.x XEN. This is a kernel limitation
- Under certain conditions, performance issues may be seen with multi-channel
in RHEL6.4 KVM configurations
- Under certain conditions, performance issues may be seen with multi-channel
in RHEL6.4 SR-IOV configurations
- SR-IOV is not supported with RHEL5.x XEN

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

Driver Version: 4.4.180.0 (Previously supported on IBM Flex)
Driver Version: 4.2.389.0 (Previously supported on IBM SystemX & BladeCenter)

Problems Fixed:
- Unloading the driver hangs the system after running IPv6 traffic
- Link status messages cleaned up when in Switch Agnostic mode
- Miscellaneous network performance issues to improve throughput
- Miscellaneous problems related to SRIOV to improve usability
- Ethtool wol command displays wol enabled even when disabled
- Ethtool speed reported as 10000Mb/s for disabled devices in Switch Agnostic
mode

Incremental Interoperability:
- RHEL6.3 GA Kernel
- Increase default B/W for SRIOV vf's to 10Gb from 100Mb

Known Issues:
- SR-IOV configuration section of the Linux NIC Driver Documentation will be
modified as follows to improve clarity (noted by << >>):

11. Use the Virtual Machine Manager GUI to attach the VF (step 7 on page 34)
to the guest operating system by using the add physical device option.

<< Note 1: If user wants to re-configure an already configured setup,
it can be done by removing the attached VF from the respective guest
operating system using the remove option after selecting the VF attached.
And then attaching another VF (step 11).

Note 2: Consult the documentation for your host operating system for
help using the Virtual Machine Manager to attach and detach virtual
interfaces. >>

12. Start the RHEL 6.x guest operating system. Once the guest operating
system is booted, use the lspci command to confirm the visibility of
the OneConnect NIC function. The output shows a OneConnect NIC function,
for example: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Emulex Corp. Emulex OneConnect
10Gb NIC (be3)

13. The OneConnect Ethernet driver automatically loads with the inbox
driver, and creates the network interfaces. Use the ifconfig command to
verify that the interface is created.

14. After configuring the network interfaces with proper IP addresses, you
can send and receive network traffic from the VM. << (Consult the
documentation for your host and guest operating systems for network
configuration help).>>

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

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:

- 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

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)
