Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
- Fixed IO Identity Persistence Policy not able to reset iSCSI boot settings to default on Cold Boot.
- Fixed WakeOnLAN NCSI commands to be reported as not supported
- Fixed a rare scenario that resulted in NMI hardware failure.
- Fixed a rare scenario that resulted in TX pipe getting hang.
- Fixed a speed issue for link mode Speed25GBaseSR.
- Fixed Pause duration: Physical port counters count in 512bits quantas, instead of microseconds.
- Fixed an issue that caused the driver to return a wrong logical OR of the 2 physical ports, when querying the vport state when the LAG was enabled.
- Increased the Full Wire Speed (FWS) threshold value to improve EDR link results.
- DCBX with a TSA protocol of Credit Based Shaper (CBS) is not supported. If enabled, it might result in a driver error message and unexpected QoS behavior.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in 'Destroy LAG' command failure if a VFs received an FLR while its affinity QPs were open.
- When RoCE Dual Port mode is enabled, tcpdump is not functional on the 2nd port
Enhancements:
- Updated firmware installer to MFT 4.10
- Added Legacy Boot Protocol options for PXE and iSCSI without failover.
- Increased the number of VFs that can work with full VMQoS (8 TC) per PFs as follow:
- In dual port devices to: 0 to 21, 33 to 45 VFs (22 to 32 VFs has single TC)
- In single port devices to: 0 to 64 VFs
- Reduced firmware memory consumption to increase the supported number of VFs per PF to up to 100.
- Added support for QUERY_DRIVER_VERSION command. This command allows the PF driver to query its VFs driver version which was set by the SET_DRIVER_VERSION command.
- Added new diagnostic counters to evaluate the number of ICMC hits and misses for particular resources.
