6.21 9.1.0.15 QL 3.03.16—08/10/05• Firmware versions: 3.03.16 (2Gb), (Use onboard 4Gb firmware.)• Added 24xx support.• Closed ER42601: Need to change bit used to control LED mode.6.22 9.0.2.17 QL 3.03.13—04/07/05• Firmware versions: 3.03.16 (2Gb).7 Firmware (Embedded in Driver)The following lists show the changes and bug fixes to the firmware that is embedded in thedrivers for the 4Gb Fibre Channel Adapters and 8Gb Fibre Channel Adapters from versions4.03.01 to 5.04.04.7.1 From 5.04.02 to 5.04.04ChangesError ReportER78047Description2500 Series. Ensured that correct slot-specific SerDes settings will be used forspecific mezzanine cards.Bug FixesError ReportDescriptionN/ANone7.2 From 5.04.01 to 5.04.02ChangesError ReportDescriptionER76448 Current Fibre Channel Adapter firmware supports maximum frame sizes of 512,1024, and 2048 in the received PLOGI or PLOGI-ACC. This change provides anoption to disable this restriction by setting bit 6 of Firmware Options 2 through SetAdditional Firmware Options Mailbox Command (038h). Note that this optionbypasses the Maximum Transmit Data Frame Size set by the Set TransmitParameters Mailbox Command (019h).Bug FixesError ReportDescriptionN/ANoneFibre Channel Adapter STOR Miniport Driver Release Notes Page 8 of 26
7.3 From 5.04.00 to 5.04.01ChangesError ReportDescriptionER74448Option to Disable Automatic FDISCCurrently, the firmware automatically performs FDISC for enabled virtual ports(VPs) upon receiving an FLOGI_ACC. This procedure does not mesh well withdriver architectures, which typically control the FDISCs.A new option bit allows you to suppress the automatic FDISCs. This option bit isavailable in both the ISP25xx and ISP81xx firmware. Older firmware ignores thisoption bit.Functional DescriptionThe Disable FDISC bit (multi-ID initialize firmware control block, Global VP Optionsfield, bit 4) disables the automatic FDISCs.If this bit is set, any VPs enabled in the multi-ID initialize firmware control blockremain enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state. The driver must issue aModify Virtual Port Configuration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) toinstruct the firmware to transmit the FDISC after it receives the report IDacquisition (RIDA) for VP0.When Disable FDISC is set, no FDISC is transmitted for the enabled VPs on anyevent, which results in a FLOGI. The driver should issue a Modify Virtual PortConfiguration IOCB (with the Command field set to 3h) to instruct the firmware totransmit the FDISC for a specific VP (after receiving the RIDA for VP0). The drivermust instruct the firmware to transmit an FDISC for all enabled VPs. After all theFDISC is completed, the firmware state changes to ready. In addition, a PortDatabase Changed AEN (8014h), with the Outgoing Mailbox 1 register set toFFFFh and Outgoing Mailbox 2 register set to 6h, is generated and passed to thedriver. If the driver does not transmit FDISC for a VP, the driver must disable thatspecific VP using Virtual Port Control IOCB (Entry Type field 30h). This step isneeded because a VP is enabled, but the ID is not in the acquired state, which canprevent the firmware state from changing to ready, and prevent generation of thePort Database AEN as previously stated.The option applies only to fabric point-to-point topology and NPIV environments.ER74764Added option to disable PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit. To disable the PRLIREC_SUPPORT bit (PRLI REC_SUPPORT bit is set by default), set bit 6 of theadditional firmware option 3 of the Set Additional Firmware Options (38h) MailboxCommands). This option has to be set prior to Initialize Firmware mailboxcommand (60h or 48h).Bug FixesError ReportDescriptionER71838ER73958Customer-specific fix.24xx/25xx MID. Fixes potential drops of PRLI request or firmware incorrectlyassigning multiple N_Port Handles for same Port_id.Fibre Channel Adapter STOR Miniport Driver Release Notes Page 9 of 26
