Pre-requisites
===============
ProLiant server supporting above operating systems
2GB RAM minimum
tg3 Linux driver version >= 3.58b
bnx2 Linux driver version >= 1.4.41
bnx2x Linux driver version >= 1.78.78


Description
============
This scexe contains the utilities and binaries for upgrading 
HP ProLiant Gigabit Ethernet NICs boot code, PXE/UEFI, IPMI, UMP, 
CLP, iSCSI, NCSI, FCoE and CCM code running under Linux x86 platform.


Enhancements/Fixes
===================
- Enhancements Description:
  - Bootcode:
     * Adding a NVRAM Control bit (offset 0x21C[1]) to enable/disable 
       AutoNeg 1G Half Duplex advertisement on BCM5717/5719/5720 controllers.
     * Make port flapping avoidance feature available for all systems.
  - PXE:
     * Enhance driver to honor new control bit to disable Autoneg @ 1G 
       Half Duplex advertisement on BCM5717/5719/5720 controllers.   

- Fixes Description:
  - Fixes an issue when certain adapters may become non-functional when they are updated with 
    the Comprehensive Configuration Management (CCM) Firmware using the firmware smart components. 
    The updated component prevents landing of the CCM Firmware on non-supporting adapters. 
  - FCoE/iSCSI:
     * Fix system hang seen during early phase of storage ROM initialization
       on some OEM platforms.
     * Update to use indirect accesses to fix a boot failure issue seen when
       device's memory BAR is assigned to 64-bit. 
  - iSCSI:
     * Fix the boot via Offload path failure seen on RedHat6.5.
  - Bootcode:
     * Fix an issue on 5719 chipset caused by lower core clock speed that may 
       cause the device to report "no firmware running" when inbox driver is used.
  - PXE:
     * Fix a hang issue caused by PXE on systems with sensor device information
       when OCSR signature is not valid. Applies to BCM5717/5719/5720 controllers.
     * Fix an issue where BCV storage ROM might not load correctly on certain platforms.
  - NCSI:
     * Fix an issue where the remote KVM session is timed out when power cycle loop is
       performed for long duration on systems with 5719 or 5717.

Introduction
============
This file describes the procedure to use for upgrading firmware
on HP Gigabit Server Adapters mentioned in the PRODUCTS AFFECTED
section of this document.

User guides and additional HP Network Adapter information can be found at:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html
 
Packaging
=========
This firmware upgrade utility is released in SCEXE format. The
file is a single self-extracting executable that unpacks the
component, runs it, and cleans up. This one-step process replaces
the rpm format which would require three steps to install, execute
and remove.


Performing the Firmware Upgrade
===============================
1. This utility requires all the associated ethernet interfaces to be up. 
You can  bring up an ethernet interface by using the following command:

	# ifup ethx

	or

	# ifconfig ethx up

2. Firmware can be upgraded interactively using following command:

	# ./CPxxxxxx.scexe

3. The help menu lists all available command line options.

	# ./CPxxxxxx.scexe -h


Firmware Upgrade Log
====================
Results of the firmware upgrade are written to nicfwupg.log which 
gets saved in the current working directory.

	
Note: Please refer to the adapter QuickSpecs for information on 
supported features.
