Enhancement

  • Support 2TB LUNS and greater

Fixes:

  • Addressed issue with SATA devices where the drive could go missing for several minutes.
  • Fixed issue where incorrect release of scatter gather list could cause issues with pending IO to missing devices.
  • Addressed issue where IOs to a host with a bad drive could fail.

Version 2.71a - Suggested

Contains:

  • BIOS Version: 6.26.82
  • Firmware Version: 1.30.03.00

Fixes:

  • Fixed issue where Target mode responds with incorrect WWID after ports are swapped.
  • Fixed issue with Incorrect/Unexpected discovery errors on RAID storage enclosures.
  • Fixed issue where device added events are not sent to the host on RAID storage enclosures.
  • Fixed issue where it is possible for a Incorrect/Duplicate Device handle to get assigned to a target that is a SSP Initiator.

Version 2.70 - Critical

Contains:

  • BIOS Version: 6.26.82
  • Firmware Version: 1.30.00

Fixes:

  • Changed BIOS text to state an IS Volume creation can be 1 to 10 drives.
  • Fixed issue with 2TB and above drives where SAS MPT BIOS CU reports wrong array size.

Version 2.69 - Suggested

Contains:

  • BIOS Version: 6.26.82
  • Firmware Version: 1.27.89

Enhancement:

  • Fixed an issue where a tape drive with a very long seek time would cause a firmware timeout.
  • Fixed an issue where, after running heavy IO load to NCQ enabled SATA drives, the controller may log false data under runs for read or write IOs.
  • Fixed an issue where, under heavy I/O, a link reset may cause a drive to drop and the file system to go read-only.
  • Fixed an issue which could cause a firmware fault 0x300 in a SATA environment.

Version 2.67 - Suggested

Contains:

  • BIOS Version: 6.26.82
  • Firmware Version: 1.27.87
