10GigEthr-03 (iocxgbe) B.11.31.1403 Ethernet Driver Release Notes HP-UX 11i v3

Problems fixed in recent releases
DescriptionSR number
olrad -r/R command does not flag and block attempts to replace an adapter with a different type of
adapter
When replacing an interface adapter online, an identical adapter must be used as the replacement.
The iocxgbe driver should detect and block mismatches but was failing to do so. All replacements were
QXCR1001246487
treated as if identical, causing unpredictable results. The driver now detects and blocks attempts to
replace an adapter with one that is not identical.
Host panic on fault when executing in kernel mode during reboot of vPars
During reboot of vPars, the host crashes while freeing MSI objects. A message like the following is
displayed in msgbuf immediately prior to the crash:
QXCR1001231153
iocxgbe: The device at hardware path 0/0/0/3/0/0/1 failed initialization (0).
wsio_claim init failed isc=0xe000000166f20400 name=iocxgbe
SM: iocxgbe; traffic with reset+unplumb/ifcfg+olrad, vPars panic/crash
During port resets, issuing ifconfig unplumb and olrad commands, the HPVM guest/vPars crashes
in the initialization path of the iocxgbe adapter.

rx2800 i4 host panic when running pc_cycle_loop on HPVM guests
This problem was reported while running Power Cycling tests on HPVM guests and vPars.
QXCR1001256164
HP-UX APA group with iocxgbe driver reports 10Gb ports are configured for 2Gb
Aggregated ports with iocxgbe interfaces give the incorrect APA port speed value of 2Gb instead of
10Gb.

The following problems are known to exist in this release:
• While loading IOCXGBE module through kcmodule command following message may be
displayed on terminal when various parameters are being set in configuration file
(/etc/rc.config.d/hpiocxgbeconf). Though driver loading is successful but parameter settings
will not take effect.
