On HPE platforms configured with either of the HPE InfiniBand XDR/Ethernet network adapters with firmware version 40.46.1006 listed in the Scope section below, the following issues may be experienced due to the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) feature is missing in this specific firmware version "40.46.1006":The port status of the affected network adapters may be displayed as "Unknown" in HPE iLO6 GUI, under the Network page.On HPE ProLiant Platforms with HPE iLO7 version 1.17 (or earlier), the update/downgrade/rewrite of the network adapter firmware using the Mellanox Firmware Package (FWPKG) will result in failure.ExampleHPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port QSFP112 PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter (P79115-H21) and its auxiliary card are in PCI Slots 2 and 5 respectively. The ports of the HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port adapter are connected and show as "Active" from the operating system commands.The firmware version of the HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port adapter is "40.46.1006"The HPE iLO6 Device Inventory Page will show as follows:The HPE iLO6 Network Page shows the network port status of the HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port adapter as "Unknown," even though the ports are connected and the port links are up.The HPE iLO6 Network Page will show as follows:
Any HPE platform configured with either of the following HPE InfiniBand XDR/Ethernet network adapters:HPE InfiniBand XDR/Ethernet 2x400GbE 1-port OSFP PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter (P79114-H21)HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port QSFP112 PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter (P79115-H21)
To resolve the Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI), perform the following actions based on the specific scenario:On HPE platforms running HPE iLO7 version 1.17: Download and install firmware version 40.46.3048, available at the following URLs (Firmware binary version):Firmware for HPE InfiniBand XDR/Ethernet 2x400GbE 1-port OSFP PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter : HPE Part Number P79114-H21 Version 40.46.3048Firmware for HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port QSFP112 PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter: HPE Part Number P79115-H21 Version 40.46.3048On HPE platforms running HPE iLO7 version 1.18 (or later):Download and install firmware version 40.46.3048 available at Firmware Binary component URLs above, or install the firmware using the Mellanox Firmware Package (FWPKG) version 40.46.3048, available at the following URLs:NVIDIA Firmware Package (FWPKG) for HPE InfiniBand XDR/Ethernet 2x400GbE 1-port OSFP PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter : HPE part number P79114-H21 Version 40.46.3048NVIDIA Firmware Package (FWPKG) for HPE InfiniBand XDR400/Ethernet 400GbE 2-port QSFP112 PCIe6 x16 HHHL CX8 Crypto Adapter : HPE part number P79115-H21 Version 40.46.3048On HPE platforms running HPE iLO6:Firmware can be updated using the Firmware Binary components or using the Mellanox Firmware Package (FWPKG).UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS:Refer to the "Installation Instructions" section on the component page for steps on how to apply the firmware installation.
