K1-1000 SCSI controller firmware bug

Hi, the firmware in the fusion scsi controller (LSI53C1030) is too old, it
has a bug. This was confirmed by lsi and might be the root of my problems
(very, very slow speed under linux). The LSI bios/firmware utility however
is not capable of updating the firmware on the cards. Could MSI please
offer a tool to update the firmware of the scsi controller?
Thanks.

> And the SCSI-firmware is in the BIOS normally.....
There is both, scsi bios (running on the real cpu), and
scsi firmware (running inside the scsi controller).
> But how can it be slow?
The lsi controller is based on an ARM core as fas as I know,
so it has it's own lilttle CPU and OS to do it's job.
The controller is fine with using software raid
(70 MB sequential, 13 MB/sec dbench),
but with hardware raid it is very slow
(11 MB sequential, 2 MB/sec dbench).
> Firmware is normaly only used to boot your system from SCSI....
> Are you sure it's not a driver or termination problem?
The machine is working fine with software raid, but very slow with
hardware raid. And the author of the linux driver confirmed one
error messages as being due to an old firmware in the scsi controller.

GDT-SCSI Controller and 865G Neo2 PLS

Hi
I try to install a GDT-SCSI RAID (GDT6528RS) Controller on a 865G Neo2 PLS. While POST of the controller works fine (it detects all the SCSI Disks, says "1 Disk for BIOS"), I can not boot of the RAID. The BIOS simply does not even try. I selected "SCSI" in the BIOS as first in the boot order, but no boot sector gets detected. I already updated the Firmware on the SCSI Controller, I tried to update the mobo BIOS, but I'm not sure which one to take, as it says "BIOS > 3.x are not supported on 865G Neo2".
Has anybody a hint what I'm missing? The SCSI Card seems to need a PCI-Bus Master-Slot, there is nothing mentioned about one of those in the manual. May this be my Problem?
Thank you for your help
Flavio

I got the same issue here with a K8T-Master1 AMD64 Mainboard. The BIOS detects and displays the RAID-Controller (a ICP Vortex GDT8546RZ 4-Channel S-ATA RAID Controller), but regardless what is configured for bootup, the BIOS doesn't even try to boot from this (say SCSI) device. All worked fine with the old ASUS Mainboard before (CUBX-E). I will upgrade the BIOS now, and if this doesn't work either, i need a simple IDE "Boot-HDD", since this is a developer workstation and the RAID is very important.......

How to Identify PERC controller Firmware in ESXi

I hope someone can help. I've searched VMWare and Google till my eyes are blurry and cannot find any KB articles that explain how to get the firmware version for the PERC controllers. The VMware KB1027206 titled "Determining Network/Storage firmware and driver version in ESXi/ESX 4.x, ESXi 5.x and ESXi 6.x", lists how to get everything EXCEPT the Firmware version of a SCSI Raid Controller.
The only way I found to find the firmware version is via OpenManage Server Administrator. Unfortunately not all of our hosts have OMSA installed. Worse, Installing OMSA requires a reboot and I don't have a maintenance window to shutdown hundreds of VM's so the host can be rebooted.
If OMSA can query ESXi and get the Raid Controller version, there must be some command line capable of displaying the Firmware version?
Anybody?

cstuettgen
If that isn't possible, can the command to query the for the Raid controller Firmware be executed manually after OMSA is installed?
Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how it works on ESXi - I'm not sure how "necessary" the reboot is. The packages might be in place for some functions without a reboot.
cstuettgen
Since that is the case, is it possible to install OMSA and start the services from the command line rather than rebooting the host? After all, ESXi isn't Windows. (Grin!)
Just to be fair, installation of OMSA in Windows doesn't require a reboot at all :)

Firmware bug: $CCERT must not be used in Report_Rule

Prolog
"Report Rule" can be configured with URL's used to save phone's current configuration. Starting with 7.5.2b firmware it is possible to configure more than one URL here. The semi-colon has been used as separator. It caused issues because semi-colon can be used in casual URL, so the separator has been changed to space in 7.5.5 (see Bug in Report_Rule parsing (SPA50x, fw 7.5.x) for more)
As of 7.5.7 firmware, the 2048 certificates has been introduced and value of $CCERT variable may contain text "Installed (2048 bits)". It cause other issue related to Report Rule parsing.
Issue & how to repeat
$CCERT can be used on "Report Rule" no longer because of wrong parsing order.
The author of firmware first call variable expansion for complete "Report Rule" string, then split the result by space in attempt to found second URL.
With Report Rule configured to https://test.local/Report.php?Product=$PN&CERT=$CCERT it is parsed to:
first_rule is https://test.local/Cisco/Report.php?Product=SPA508G&CERT=Installed, second_rule is (2048 bits)
It is wrong result. In advance, it reveal the characters inserted into URL by variable expansion are not escaped properly.
How to fix
The order of parsing steps needs to be reversed. Report Rule need to be split into parts first, then variable expansion should be called for both parts independently. Also, strings expanded from variables should be url-encoded properly.
Disclaimer
I will not call SMB support to report this bug to them. Assuming the Cisco is interested to repair firmware bugs a staff member monitoring this forum will create ticked by self. I wish that all relevant information including the depth-in analysis has been disclosed here. I'm ready to provide further details or create test environment if necessary. I'm just not willing to call the Support center as I'm not willing to explain all those complex things described here by phone (and they doesn't accept written reports).
For those non-Cisco-staff users affected by issue - feel free to report the issue to Support center, if you are willing to do it. You are allowed to use information disclosed here, or just refer to this report. I don't care the authorship.

You are not alone on this one, I am having the very same issue as you are and . Everything functioned just fine the last time the application was deployed was deployed and there was nothing changed to any of the reports or code which handles the reports; however, this time I am having the same issue. I added the parameters to the report to check to see if they were actually being recognized by the report and they do show up, but it refuses to filter the records and brings back every record. The report works properly if I run it just directly in Crystal though. I sure hope someone can enlighten us Paul.
Update: Well, I finally figured out what was causing my issue. The issue had to deal with the actual older version of the CrystalReportViewer control and the newer version supplied by the update. I had suspected it was something minor that I had overlooked when doing the update. Hope this gets you going as well. Cheers

Dual ultra320 scsi controller

Hi all
I m trying to install new dual ultra320 scsi controller on Sun Fire c20z Server. But there is an error message
ERROR: EXPANSION ROM NOT INITALIZED
PCI MASS STORAGE CONTROLLER IN SLOT 02 BUS 03 DEVICE 01 FUNCTION 0.0
Pls help me to fix this Problem

Sorry rakman2, but your suggestions will not work with that system.
A Sun V20z is Intel Xeon based.
No OBP, and therefore no OBP commands or utilities (such as probe).
Let's just wait for hero to provide more information.
Edit:
Corrected a typo and noticed that it has been three months.
The original poster has not returned.
... and an error about a ROM on a peripheral usually means unqualified 3rd party hardware.

"Update for raid controller firmware" in availabel system upgrade does not go away after upgrade

We have two Ironport WSA, one S360 and one S370. Both stil have the "Update for raid controller firmware" still listed in "Available upgrades" even though we have done the update and rebooted the appliances.
How can we confirm that the update is applied?
If it is and the notice is still there how do we get rid of the reminder?

Go to the command line of the appliacne and run "version"
That will show you the current version of the firmware.
If you have record of what was there, you can compare...
Otherwise contact TAC, they can verify that you have the up-to-date version and pull your serial from the distribution list so you don't see it any more.

Cannot configure SCSI controller

Hi, this task has landed on my desk and i have little or no knowledge of what this involves (lucky me). I am trying to configure a SCSI controller using the cfgadm command and it will not configure?
SCSI controllers and attached drives:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c2 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown
Basically the host system is running solaris 9 and is connected to one half of a Storedge d1000 which i am trying to get running (disks not running at the moment on one side). I have been led to believe that i need to perform this configuration to get the disks up and running? The other side of the d1000 is connected to another host and is running fine. Any help/advice is much appreciated in advance.
Cheers.

Has the SCSI controller in that Solaris 9 system ever+ functioned with a D1000?
The D1000 is a HVD SCSI device, not LVD, not Single-Ended.
You may just be trying to use the wrong SCSI card.

The glm0 and glm1 are the SCSI busses. Now, my problem is to access the tape drives (in the autochanger) connected to that controller.
I cannot find out how to create mount points for those tape drives.
Any suggestions?

Did you do a boot -r?
That will do a 'devfsadm' which does all the /dev stuff for you.
Do you have the latest Recommended patch kit to make sure all your drivers are up to date?

E55 Thread for Firmware Bugs

I noticed that there isn't yet a thread in order to report E55 firmware bugs, so I started this
Here the firmware bugs I've found:
- Hidden WLAN: when you search for wireless access points (for example from the main screen) the phone see always one "hidden wlan", that is not there!
- Default phone numbers: when you have more phone numbers for a contact, you can choose one of these as default for messaging or dialing, but even if you do that, E55 keep asking you what number to use every time you make a sms
- Organizer major bug: sometimes (80% of times!) when you edit a memo in Organizer, or when you move it (by changing the start date), you will see that also the end date has changed (adding 1 or more days), even if you didn't touch it! And even if the start and the end date originally matched! So if you had a memo covering one day, now it covers more days, and the end date can't be changed again (you set the correct date, save, and none happens). This make the memos totally unusable!
- Organizer minor bug: when you open Organizer, and then open a memo, you have to select the information that you want to modify (text, date, synch) and click one more time to edit the memo. But: if you select the "date" or the "synch" row, instead of the "text" row, and then click "modify", the memo is open alway with the cursor on the "text" row. So, the capability of selecting others rows, is pretty useless.
I hope some Nokia guy will notice this thread so there informations can be useful for a future firmware release, also because I'm getting crazy with the memos issue!!

hi olandesevolante
about ur first and second issues u face they r not realy bugs, why?
for the first one: i faced that with my E51 in a place i visited before, that hidden WLAN maybe a conflict from another type of waves other than that of wlan using same frequency
and about the second issue: default phone numbers is a feature that only set for making calls but when u make an sms the phone will ask u to choose between numbers present unders the same contact name even if u set a default number, so it is not a bug but that is the normal firmware properties
for the rest of issues , they sound like real bugs
i hope i helped a little and i wish those bugs will be removed in the next firmware

Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500

I once got :
Firmware bug: CPU1 tried to use APIC500 (LVT offset0) for vector 0x400 but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another CPU.
Any ideas?
Is Linux reporting a real firmware fault or is it wrong?

Firmware bug? No Connect/Disconnect button on "Manual" PPPoE option

Hi,
To the best of my knowledge this is a firmware bug.
There is no Connect/Disconnect option when choosing "Manual" from the PPPoE settings.

Adaptec SCSI controller on Virtual XP mode

I am trying to get my SCSI HP ScanJet 3C/4C scanners to work on my PC. I just installed Win 7 64 bits Ultimate with the Virtual PC-XP mode I cannot get the driver to catch the SCSI controller as it is suposed to be "embedded" in Windows
XP (according to Adaptec) and thus cannot get separate drivers from Adaptec. It is an Adaptec AHA-2910C card.
It shows the card in the hardware manager of Win 7 but has no drivers for it. If I could at least get the XP mode to see it and install the driver , then I would be in good shape. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, that's just not possible, XP Mode running in Windows VPC cannot
see the real hardware of the PC. only virtual devices WVPC provides,
and pass through SCSI isn't one of the things provided.
VMWare Workstation may provide what you want, but I'm not sure about
any of the other VM solutions.

SCSI Controller AH2940UW

I am instaling Solaris 9 on a ULTRA Sparc 10 but the installation does not detect the AH2940UW SCSI controller.
Does this controller require a separate driver to be installed or is there another configuration that needs to be done?
Thanx.

Yes, it would require driver software, and Adaptec chooses to not create such packages.
Adaptec would have to also modify the chipset on that card to make it compatible with Sun's SPARC architecture.
It will not work. Period.
Find a different HBA.
Search the Hardware forums for keyword symbios.
If you search those forums with keyword adaptec you'll find how
It has been discussed, over there, many many times in the last two years..
Don't bother to post a new inquiry, as the issue has been completely discussed.
