10GigEthr-02 (iexgbe) B.11.31.1403 Ethernet Driver Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3

Table 7 HP-UX 11i v3 March 2013 fixes — 10GigEthr-02 B.11.31.1303.01 (continued)
DescriptionSR number
• (QXCR1001268375) Speed mismatch error frequently recorded in syslog.
The driver can present the following message in syslog during DLKM load/unload, boot,
or other control path operations:
internal_link_settings_status: 10G speed mismatch 0x300
• (QXCR1001268375) Ports for which the adapter reports the incorrect speed might
occasionally cause APA formation to fail during startup.
• iexgbe m45write and m45read message logged on the console.
(QXCR1001267051) During DLKM load/unload, the following message might be seen
on the console:
...m45write: Setting PHY address to write failed, phyreg 0xffe4, devad 0x7, val
0x1e0
...m45read: Setting PHY address to read failed 0x2227ffe4 0x1
(QXCR1001265402) During installation or deinstallation of the 10GigEthr-02 bundle, the
following message might be seen:
...m45read: Read of PHY register failed, addr 0x2227ffe4 init_done
1,
status 0x2e270000
During system boot, the system might fail when bringing up TCP/IPQXCR1001265320
An error message such as "route add net : Network is Unreachable" is seen in /edt/rc.log.
Problem with nwmgr -s -A all --sa --fr cu -c commandQXCR1001267697
The command does not properly store the parameter settings in the
/etc/rc.config.d/hpiexgbeconf configuration file.
Table 8 HP-UX 11i v3 January/March 2013 fixes — 10GigEthr-02 B.11.31.1301 and B.11.31.1303
DescriptionSR number
Link status is incorrectly reported for LAN ports connected to a switch or pass-through
When LAN ports are connected to a switch or pass-through, the iexgbe driver might fail to
detect a cable connect or disconnect. As a result, the LAN interface link status on the system
QXCR1001233679
side is incorrectly displayed by nwmgr and lanadmin. For example, after a cable disconnect,
the status is incorrectly reported as UP instead of DOWN.
Port unavailable, queues fail to initialize on Superdome
While doing stress testing with heavy traffic along with periodic port resets, olrad, and
ifconfig plumb/unplumb, the port might be unable to initialize the maximum number of
QXCR1001222146
queues supported. In such cases for drivers with versions AR1209 and earlier, the port
transitions to the DEAD state. To make the port usable, a system reboot is required. The issue
is rarely reproducible; reproducing the issue requires the above-mentioned stress testing
sustained over a long duration.
Table 9 HP-UX 11i v3 September 2012 fixes — 10GigEthr-02 B.11.31.1209
DescriptionSR number
The host encountered a rare hang situation as the intctl command gets stuck within the
kernel after repeated interrupt migrations are run on the host backing interface. The cause is
QXCR1001202586
the driver failing to perform an appropriate handshake with the kernel module responsible
for completing the interrupt migration event under certain rare circumstances.
