***** Important Note ******

(1) EFIBoot was not enabled from loading to system memory:

If the adapter EFIBoot is not enabled from loading to system, this adapter
will not be configured. User must use LP6dutil or some other OS Utility to
enable the EFIBoot in order to make this card bootable.

(2) EFIBoot Bios was enabled to configure the adapter and No Link:

EFIBoot will wait for 15 seconds/adapter to confirm a link.

(3) If two or more adapters have same EFIBoot driver version, EFIBoot will
load only one driver.

(4) If there are adapters with different EFIBoot driver versions, EFIBoot
will load the highest version of the EFIBoot driver.

(5) In order to display Linkup speed, use the latest version of the firmware.

BootBIOS for x86 platforms and x64 platforms that support legacy BIOS. The adapter boot BIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13
system BIOS calls. The adapter Boot BIOS supports:

(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop
topologies.
(2) Multi-initiators: The adapter BIOS supports up to 32 Emulex LightPulse
adapters in a system.
(3) Multi-LUNs: The adapter BIOS supports up to 256 LUNs.
(4) Multi-boot: The adapter BIOS complies with the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): The adapter BIOS supports both the
EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1 specifications depending on the selection in the
adapter BIOS configuration utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: There are eight boot entries that can be
configured in the adapter BIOS configuration utility. If the first boot
entry fails the system is still able to boot from the second configured
boot entry and so on.

***** Important Note ******

(1) BIOS downloading

The adapter boot BIOS image has increased in size to 49K. As a result, it might
fail during the downloading of the BIOS .prg file. One way to correct the
problem is to download the firmware .AWC file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: dd390a7.awc) and then download the adapter boot BIOS .prg file.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)

If the adapter boot BIOS is not enabled by LP6DUTIL or an Emulex O.S.
configuration utility, the adapter and the drives connected to the adapter
cannot not be configured to be used to boot the system. In addition if there is
a "No BIOS support" message displayed next to this adapter in the adapter BIOS
configuration utility the user must use LP6DUTIL or other Emulex O.S.
configuration utility to enable the adapter boot BIOS in order to allow this adapter
to be used a bootable controller by the host system.

Changes and Corrections:

-- Changes and corrections between 1.92a1 and 1.91a5:

Implemeted beaconing feature for Pegasus and Thor. (CR 16592, 21846)

The R_A_TOV field is now properly expressed in milliseconds. (CR 22640)

Improved target mode "fast" POST so that power up no longer causes HBA
to hang. (CR 22594)

A timeout is prevented by allowing the firmware to process fatal DMA
engine errors even if the DMA is not complete, such as during a PCI
master abort. (CR 22641)

Various concurrent FLASH programming issues were resolved by improving
the FLASH interlocking/unlocking algorithm, implementing Intel errata,
and implementing erase failure recovery code.
(CR 21885, 21888, 21889, 21890)

We now default to allowing the PCI bridge to reorder data frames as
necessary, which may result in a system performance increase for some
systems. (CR 21867)

Improved FCP2 recovery to avoid the dropping of frames
(and the resulting delays) during REC ELS command. (CR 21865)

Fixed a recovery issue where a corrupted REC frame with a mismatching
offset would cause the HBA to loop, continually requesting recovery.
(CR 21864)

To avoid dropped receive frames in the case where an OXID is reused
for a new exchange during the ABTS/RRQ processing window, we now skip
any matching "new" exchanges which are in the RRQ state. (CR 21855)

Improved management of unavailable memory by limiting the number of
retries. The HBA now reports an error attention after retries have
been exhausted. (CR 21854)

Improved DMA error handling of split errors where host memory has been
made unavailable. (CR 21853)

Commands are now timed out properly when in FCP-2 mode. (CR 21852)

Protocol testing with invalid conditions revealed protocol response
errors which have had no reported instances of failure in the field.
(CR 21850, 21851, 21863)

An I/O timeout during tape operation was eliminated by delaying
processing of any FCP2 errors during discovery. (CR 17363)

Thor no longer deadlocks during processing of RRQ when RESET_RING is
issued with no available exchange resources. (CR 20064)

Improved operation of Pegasus Rx DMA firmware on PCI-X bus.
(CR 21542)

Observations

Qualification: Microsoft currently does not offer an FCoE WHQL "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport Miniport driver is used with a standard Fibre Channel HBA, the driver is qualified for the "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport MiniPort driver is used with an FCoE CNA, the driver is considered "unclassified" by Microsoft. In both cases, the Storport Miniport drivers are digitally signed by Microsoft and will be recognized by both Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Note For Windows Server 2003, SP2 and Hotfix Q957910 update to the Microsoft STORPort driver are required. The STORPort KB update must be applied before the Emulex STORPort Miniport driver can be installed.
For Windows Server 2008, SP2 and Hotfix Q968675 update to the Microsoft STORPort driver are required. The STORPort KB update must be applied before the Emulex STORPort Miniport driver can be installed.
For Windows Server 2008 R2, no Hotfix is required
New features, fixed issues and known issues in the driver

New Features in Version 2.20.006
1. Added ExtTransferSize parameter. This parameter improves performance on tape devices supporting a larger block size.
2. Added support for Windows Server 2008 R2. This version of the driver kit adds support for Windows Server 2008 R2.
Resolved Issues in Version 2.20.006
1. There was the potential for the driver and the HBA to not synchronize properly, after the HBA was in warm start mode. Polling was modified in the HBAnyware utility.
2. The internal and external loopback diagnostic tests were not available for LP21000 and LP21002 adapters.
Known Issues in Version 2.20.006
1. The HBAnyware GUI is not available on the IA64 architecture. If you are installing on an IA64 system use the HBACMD command line utility, which is available in the Storport Miniport driver and core (CLI) application kit, instead of the Storport Miniport driver and HBAnyware kit.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time.
2. Do not perform software-first installations on Windows Server 2008 or Vista systems. The procedure documented in the driver user manual might not have the expected effect. No error will be reported, but Windows might continue using the version of the driver distributed with the operating system rather than the new driver when an adapter is installed. The problem occurs because Microsoft-distributed drivers are versioned differently than Emulex- distributed drivers.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time.
3. To revert to an older driver after a newer driver has been installed, you must uninstall all Emulex software and drivers before installing the older driver kit. Failure to do so could leave your system in an unsupported state. See the driver user manual for all the procedures you must follow.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time.
4. Due to an issue with HBAnyware version 4.1, the default global driver parameters for converged network adapters (CNAs) cannot be changed.
Workaround: There is no workaround at this time.

Observations

Qualification: Microsoft currently does not offer an FCoE WHQL "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport Miniport driver is used with a standard Fibre Channel HBA, the driver is qualified for the "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport MiniPort driver is used with an FCoE CNA, the driver is considered "unclassified" by Microsoft. In both cases, the Storport Miniport drivers are digitally signed by Microsoft and will be recognized by both Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Note For Windows Server 2003, SP2 and Hotfix Q957910 update to the Microsoft STORPort driver are required. The STORPort KB update must be applied before the Emulex STORPort Miniport driver can be installed.
For Windows Server 2008, SP2 and Hotfix Q968675 update to the Microsoft STORPort driver are required. The STORPort KB update must be applied before the Emulex STORPort Miniport driver can be installed.
For Windows Server 2008 R2, no Hotfix is required
