- SCGCQ00438322 lsiutil 1.69 does not report the correct Device ID information for Gen 3 adapters
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.69:
- Added Support for SAS3 Linux Drivers
- Fixed bug were OS names for drives > sdz were not displayed (on Linux)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.68:
- Fix in option 16 output. Added device type decode of STP target and added
fix to make sure undecoded device types will print nothing in the 'type'
field rather than the value from the last successfully decoded device.
- Added support for creating raid volumes on drives greater than 2TB
Modified method docreatevolume2()
- Added support for creating raid volumes with 4k drives on MPI2 and MPI2.5
controllers. StripSize will be set to zero to let firmware calculate it.
- Modified source file copyright information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.67:
- Updated to MPI2 2.00.XX header files (MPI2.5 rev B). Includes support
for identifying SAS3XXXX devices. MPI2.5 support for DOS and EFI are not
supported at this time.
- Added option 25 for Power Management settings to contain the MPI control
message, get IOUnitPage7, and get/set SasIoUnitPage8.
- Added sub-option 60 (change RAID rate) to the RAID actions menu (option 21)
- Added option 71 to decode Flags and DeviceInfo for SASDevicePage0
for each device attached to the adapter.
- Modified the Alta programming/display algorithm (Option 58, sub-option 1 & 2)
to allow for 16 character serial number and part numbers (per the spec).
Also added the global flag option to prompt for errors created by a
non-existent SAS Address in the parameter file. (use lsiutil -g to turn it on).
- Fixed SAS Address programming in option 44 to program a sequential address
for each PHY (as opposed to only programming PHY[0]).
- Add support for the LSI SAS3 expander in the following areas:
- Support for resetting the expander (main menu option 20 (diagnostic menu)
-> option 98 (Reset Expander))
- Support for firmware image signature checking to help validate a firmware
download image matches the correct expander type (main menu option 20
(diagnostic menu) -> option 20 (Expander firmware download))
- Support for the SAS3 expander when specifying 'all' as the expander to
update in the expander firmware download option (allows update of all
expanders (of the same type) in a domain at once).
- Support when doing a manufacturing image update via the expander firmware
download option or when using the option to modify expander mfg image
fields (main menu option 20 (diagnostic menu) -> option 27 (Change
SAS2/SAS3 Expander Manufacturing Data Fields)).
- Added WarpDrive recognition
- Added support for new Windows XP driver name.
- Added option 72 to store SC information (MPI2.0-only)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.66:
- Updated to MPI2 2.00.18 header files (MPI2 rev Q). Includes support in
option 67 and 100 for newly refined config pages as well as device ID
recognition updates.
- Added the ability to decode the raw timestamps in option 35 (display HBA
firmware logs) into a readable format. The default behavior is unchanged
from previous releases. Invoke lsiutil with the '-g' flag to enable a
prompt in option 35 for doing the decoding.
- Modified command line argument checking to return appropriate error codes
(EINVAL, ENODEV) for incorrect parameters rather than success.
- Modified doIndentify() for SAS to upload the firmware from the backup region
rather than active. This allows for image verification after firmware
download without first resetting adapter.
- For read/write tests replaced the NCR pattern with a random one.
- added some improvements to SCSI error handling, especially check conditions
to be more generic and catch more errors.
- Updated option 20, sub-option 16 (Issue product-specific SAS IO Unit Control)
to work with SAS GEN2 HBAS.
- For DOS/EFI, fixed the startup error message seen with recent SAS GEN2 HBA
HBA firmware (mpt_receive_data failed, IOCStatus = 0020 (Invalid Action))
- Improved HBA detection under EFI for some platforms without PCI dual
address cycle support.
- For option 65 (SAS UART Debug Console), changed the default buffer size to
1MB (on Windows default is now calculated based on the MaxSGList driver
registry parameter). The user is no longer prompted for a buffer size to
allocate by default. To enable the prompt for buffer size invoke lsiutil
with the '-g' flag.
- fixed an issue with displaying hidden RAID devices (in option 8 output)
for inactive volumes
- In option 43 (Diagnostic Buffer actions), updated the ProductSpecific
parameters (debug masks) in the Register option to support 64-bit values
for MPI2.
- In option 21, sub-option 1 (Show Volumes in the RAID actions menu) fixed
interpretation of data scrub to properly indicate whether it is allowed
rather than to mean that it is "in progress".
- Under Linux resolved the warnings to the system log indicating lsiutil
'tainting' the system due to mmap() slowpath on kernels 2.6.27 and later.
- Fixed an issue with a SAS2308 HBA being reported as a SAS2208.
- For option 20, sub-option 30 (Inject media error in the Diagnostics menu),
improved the error handling and added support for sending WRITE LONG(10)
with WR_UNCOR set which will get translated to ATA WRITE UNCORRECTABLE EXT
for SATA drives.
- Removed menu item 6 (Download SEEPROM) and menu item 7 (Upload SEEPROM) for
SAS products since they were not applicable.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.65:
- For SAS2 HBAs, add support for target IDs greater than 255. Also optimized
option 8 (scan for devices) under Linux and Windows to only scan for devices
in the range of targets the firmware indicates exists based on devhandles.
- Added a -8 command line argument to limit the number of LUNs scanned to 8
instead of the default of 256.
- Fixed option 42 (Display OS device names) for both Linux and Solaris for
SAS2 HBAs.
- Fixed option 42 (Display OS device names) under Linux when using kernels
2.6.31 and later.
- Fixed option 42 (Display OS device names) for IR RAID Volumes under Linux.
- Fixed a display bug in the output of 'Show physical disks' (RAID Action menu
item 2). The devhandles for the disk paths should now be output correctly.
- Increased the chip reset delay under DOS and EFI to 50ms (up from 20ms).
- Changed the DOS/EFI driver to correctly use the default descriptor rather
than SCSI IO descriptor for RAID passthrough requests.
- Fixed the NVDATA "wrong board" warning for SAS2 HBAs when downloading
firmware.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.64:
- Updated to MPI2 2.00.13 header files. Includes support in option 67 and
100 to print the newly defined config pages. Also includes the 2208
device ID recognition.
- Updated to MPI1 01.05.20 header files. Minor changes only, this has no
functional impact.
- Added a new expert main menu option 65 ("SAS UART Debug Console") which is
available for SAS2 HBAs. Running this option prompts the user for how
large a buffer to reserve for command responses as well as whether they
would like to log the output to a file. After this, the user is given a
'%' prompt to enter commands, mimic'ing the UART console. The user can
type 'exit' to return to the normal lsiutil menu.
Standard '-a' scripting of this console feature is available as well. For
example, the following command line will start lsiutil using the second
HBA port found, start the UART console, and execute the "iop show diag"
and "exit" commands before quitting:
# lsiutil -p 2 -a 65,,,"iop show diag","exit",0
- Added a few improvements for working with LSI SAS2 expanders (Bobcat):
o Recognize the buffer IDs for bobcat firmware images and manufacturing
data so a warning is no longer printed when updating.
o Enhanced the expander firmware download (diagnostic menu option 20) to
distinguish between LSI SAS1 and SAS2 expanders if the 'all' option
is used to update all expanders in the domain and there is a mix of SAS1
and SAS2 expanders. In this case, the user is given the option of which
type of expander to perform the update on. NOTE: that there is no
support to differentiate between different platforms within the SAS1 or
SAS2 space. So, for example, if there is a mix of SAS1 expanders that
require different firmware images, the 'all' option will provide no
protection against putting the same firmware image in all the expanders.
o When using expander firmware download (diagnostic menu option 20) to
update the manufacturing image for an LSI SAS2 expander, lsiutil will
fetch the current SAS address, Enclosure Logical ID, and Ethernet MAC
Address from the expander as well as from the image file provided by the
user and then for each field, prompt the user on whether they would like
to use the value in the supplied manufacturing image (the default),
preserve the existing value already in the expander, or override the value
on the spot.
o Added a new expert level menu option 27 under the diagnostic menu
(option 20 from the main menu) called "Change SAS2 Expander Manufacturing
Data Fields". This option will retrieve the current manufacturing data
from the selected LSI SAS2 expander and then display to the user the
current SAS Address, Enclosure Logical ID, and Ethernet MAC Address and
allow the user to enter new values for any of these fields. The new
values are then written back to the expander, to take effect after the
expander is reset.
- updated the chip recognition for all current LSI MPT chips/revisions.
- Fixed event reporting (option 43) for SAS1 HBAs under SPARC Solaris.
- updated the vi settings to reflect use of spaces rather than tabs.
- minor change to the max target calcuation to make it more accurate.
- For option 17 (show expander route tables) added a check for whether
PHY_VACANT was returned and if so print a 'V' instead of a routing
attribute since the actual routing attribute is not available.
- For option 67/100 (Dump all port state) added a check for config pages
returning more than 255 DWORDs. For such config pages, truncate the output
and print a message indicating that the output was truncated.
- miscellaneous formatting and minor display bug fixes
- changed the DOS/EFI MPT driver to register as a BIOS rather than HOST
driver for SAS2 HBAs. This causes the HBA firmware to handle device
registration and events without help from the driver. This change allows
for things like RAID volume re-sync to restart after a drive hotplug.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.63:
- All tabs in the source code have been changed to spaces. For this release
only, *_tabified.c variants of the source code are provided which include
all of the changes since 1.62 except for the tab->space conversion.
- Moved the Solaris binaries to a single directory. lsiutil.sparc is the
SPARC binary and lsiutil.i386 is the X86 binary.
- updated MPI headers to 2.00.11.
- Added support for the magic number change in the SAS gen2 Linux driver.
This means that version mpt2sas-01.255.01.00 or later is required to
work with this release of lsiutil.
- Fixed display current events (option 40) for gen2 SAS HBAs.
- Added new menu option 58 (SAS only) for Alta diagnostics.
- Added support for the lsi_gen2 Windows XP driver.
- Added support for the mpt_sas Solaris gen2 SAS driver.
- Added support in the expander firmware download option to accept 'all' as
a valid value when prompted for the expander to operate on. This will
cause the image to be sent and verified for all expanders in the list.
- Added support in the expander firmware download option to poll for interim
completion statuses when download microcode used as well as include
the additional status if the update fails.
- Added two new expert mode options to the diagnostics menu,
'Display expander log entries' (option 25), and 'Clear (erase) expander
log entries' (option 26). Currently only gen1 (Yeti) expanders are supported.
- For all SMP requests, now setting 'Allocated Response Length' to 0xFF.
- Added support for the 'Show Volumes' and 'Get Volume State' options for SAS
gen2 IR to display inactive volume reason.
- Fixed a bug when printing Incompatible and Offline Reasons for gen2 SAS IR
phys disks.
- Made changes to routines that use RaidConfigPage0. Fixes segmentation fault
when activating a foreign volume with gen2 SAS HBAs.
- Added a retry mechanism when config page requests return MPI_IOCSTATUS_BUSY.
- Fixed a bug in displaying log entries (option 35) in which one DWORD was
not being displayed.
- In diagnostic menu option 2 (WriteBuffer/ReadBuffer/Compare Test) added
support for all the same patterns that the Write/Read/Compare test (option 4)
supports and added expected/actual printing when miscompares found.
- Fix handling of devices with T10 DIF (EEDP) enabled.
- In doIdentify, don't use the "actual image length" returned by the SCSI
firmware since it is not trustworthy.
- In doDisplayLoggedInDevices, if the port device is not returned when reading
device pages, use the port page to provide the missing information.
- When displaying OS device names under Linux, add use of O_NONBLOCK to the
opens() to avoids hanging in some situations.
- For option 56 (Read/write expander memory), added support for the x12
expander via support for the ring format LSI SMP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.62:
- Updated to use MPI2 header files 2.0.0.10. This means the minimum
requirements for using this version of lsiutil with gen2 SAS HBAs is
firmware version 00.250.16.00, Windows driver 2.00.00.17 and Linux driver
00.255.05.00.
- Added support for diagnostic trace buffers (option 43) for gen2 SAS HBAs.
- Fixed a bug with displaying log entries (option 35) for gen2 SAS HBAs.
- Added three new RAID actions (option 21) for gen2 HBAs. Volume consistency
check, Stop volume consistency check, and Online Capacity Expansion. These
are RAID Action menu options 34, 35, and 36 respectively.
- Added support for in-band resetting of bobcat (gen2 SAS) expanders (menu
option 20, sub-option 98).
- For gen2 IR changed coerced size to come from firmware.
- For gen2 changed port->maxTargets to be based on MaxDevhandle+MaxVolumes
rather than MaxTargets.
- Fixed a bug with processing VPD files under EFI. The sscanf() routine in
helper.c was missing support for %c.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.61:
- Update the data structures for bus/target to devhandle mapping to use 32-bit
target and bus IDs. This affects SAS gen2 driver interaction. This release
requires at least version 2.0.0.16 of the LSI_SAS2 Windows driver and version
00.00.02.19 of the Linux mpt2sas driver.
- Increase timeout for task management requests from 30 to 60 seconds
- Fix a bug that could lead to attempting to double close the log file and
cause a call to free() to fail.
- Fix option 18 for SAS gen2 HBAS (changing the wwn).
- Fix link speed detection for SAS gen2.
- Fixed bug for SAS gen2 that could cause lsiutil to send requests with a
devhandle of 0xffff.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.60:
- fix bug in doDeleteVolume2 for setting the volume dev handle in the RAID
action request.
- Add option to use default settings on volume creation.
- Changed default stripe size to 128K
- fixed a build error that occurred if REGISTER_ACCESS was set to 0 at
compile time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.59:
- Add code that determines BIOS/FCode compatibility for first MPI 2.0 chips.
- Add "Dump PCI config space".
- Modify code that allows changing SAS persistent entries, to handle changing
a set of mappings from one EnclosureId to another EnclosureId.
- Enhance display of expander routing tables to accommodate the SAS 2.0
committee changing the opcode for REPORT EXPANDER ROUTE TABLE LIST from
17h to 22h.
- After displaying diagnostic pages, don't ask about making changes except for
page numbers that are known to be writable.
- Make modifications to the RAID volume creation code to take drive minimums
from config pages, rather than hard-coding them. Also, allow selecting a
stripe size for any volume type except for mirrored (RAID1) volumes.
- Add ability to send QUERY TASK and ABORT TASK to the "Reset target" routine;
this is not the ideal place to put them, but it's the best of the current
alternatives. No allowance is made for specifying the identity of the task
to be queried or aborted; the intent is that these will be used merely to
verify that such requests can be issued (not that they'll be successful).
- Add some missing config pages to "Dump all port state".
- After resetting the chip (DOS/EFI), wait 20 milliseconds before making any
chip accesses, per the MPT specification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.58:
- Add option 66, "Show SAS discovery errors".
- Fix bug introduced in 1.57 that broke option 13 for SAS.
- Fix bug introduced in 1.56 that made diagnostic buffer actions appear to
fail for Windows, when in fact they had actually succeeded.
- Fix options 8, 13, 16, 18, 33, 35, 44, 68, 80, and 81, to accommodate
differences between MPI 1.x and MPI 2.0 (the new link speed of 6.0 Gbps
being the most prominent one).
- Modify expander firmware download to allow boot records (BufferID 10) to
be headerless. If a header is needed (mode 2), but is not present, add it.
If a header is not needed (mode 6), but is present, remove it. Also fix
verification code to be more robust.
- Fix MPI 2.0 bug that caused duplicate devices to be shown on Windows during
a device scan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.57:
- Implement RAID actions for MPI 2.0, and implement "Delete hot spare".
- Add Linux support for MPI 2.0.
- Modify NVDATA concatenation code for latest MPI 2.0 firmware changes.
- When downloading expander firmware, if mode is 2, use Write Buffer, but if
mode is 6 or 7, use SES Download Microcode. Before downloading, verify the
image for Buffer IDs 0, 2, and 10.
- For SAS, add "Force full discovery".
- Add "Identify FLASH device".
- Fix more endian problems, by adding code that allows the compiler to detect
them automatically.
- Skip verification after firmware download when the special bridge firmware
(1.18.99) is being used.
- Fix the multi-path detection code (used when creating volumes), which was
reading enclosure pages incorrectly.
- Fix the code that handles metadata size, to use ManufacturingPage4 instead
of IOCPage6 (the former can be modified, while the latter cannot).
- After reading diagnostic pages, allow the data to be modified and the page
written back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.56:
- Implement -k flag to suppress the "select a device" mechanism for many
diagnostic functions, and instead allow directly entering bus and target
numbers.
- Fix the -h (help) display, which got broken when paging was implemented.
- Add some routines to help debug expanders (read/write expander memory,
read/write expander ISTWI devices, expander firmware download, expander
reset).
- Implement all of the diagnostic buffer actions for Solaris (a new driver is
required). Also, when any diagnostic buffer action fails, display detailed
information if it's available.
- Don't try to verify a firmware download for SAS if only a bootloader image
is active; the required "firmware upload" support is not implemented.
- Fix endian issues in various places.
- Fix the code that was trying to detect multi-pathed disks when creating RAID
volumes; it was not correctly determining whether two enclosures were in fact
the same enclosure.
- In the "Log Sense" and "Diagnostic Page" tests, make the buffer larger, and
check for the device returning more data than requested.
- When working with RAID physical disks, consistently use the physical disk
count that is in IOCPage3, vs. the one in IOCPage2.
- Add path information to the display of RAID physical disks, whenever there
is more than one path.
- Enhance "Scan for devices" to also show (hidden) RAID physical disks.
- Fix the Solaris code that determines device names, to handle SCSI Enclosure
Services (SES) devices, and to handle SAS disks with long GUID-based names.
- For "Send SMP request", if the handle entered is 0, prompt for SAS WWID and
physical port to be entered manually.
- Fix bug in "Send SCSI CDB" that caused loss of detailed failure information
(including SCSI status and, if there was a Check Condition, any sense data).
- More MPI 2.0 work: add a real list of supported devices, fix the expander
routing table display code, fix the SATA Clear Affiliation code, fix SCSI I/O
reply handling to correctly obtain sense data.
- Fix a bug in the EFI implementation of scanf(): %n did not work correctly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.55:
- Extend paged output in menus to cover all output in all circumstances.
- Make the maximum number of devices shown in menus compile-time configurable,
with the default remaining at 99.
- Add the ability to turn off MPT register access at compile time, since this
causes crashes on some Linux standalone platforms.
- Accommodate more differences between MPI 1.5 and MPI 2.0 (in SCSI I/O replies
and event handling). Also, for MPI 2.0, use the BTDH IOCTL to get the driver
mapping between bus/target and device handle.
- When the -g flag is used, ask if the fwdiagtool header should be added when
doing diagnostic buffer reads.
- Have options 15, 17, and 20 automatically bring the port online under DOS and
EFI.
- Expand the PCI information printed to include the segment number.
- Add verification after firmware downloads (read the image back, and compare
with what was written).
- When creating RAID volumes, correctly enforce rules about mixing SAS and
SATA drives, and SSD and non-SSD drives. Also, use the metadata size that
is specified in IOC Page 6.
- Fix code that implements setting the volume name (string length check was
wrong, and volume addressing was wrong).
- When deleting a the last volume, delete any hot spares that remain; otherwise
those physical disks are left stranded.
- For Solaris, use an IOCTL to get the driver name and version. Use that same
IOCTL to get PCI information; only if that fails should the "reg" property be
used to get PCI information.
- When dumping config pages, dump SAS Expander Page 1 correctly (there is one
page per expander phy), and fix its name (it was called "SASDevicePage1"!).
- Implement the new changes for MPI 2.0 NVDATA concatenation. Add IOC Page 8,
BIOS Page 4, and Driver Mapping Page 0.
- Add MPI 2.0 support to the DOS/EFI driver.
- Add "Read Buffer (for firmware upload)" to allow reading back device or
expander firmware and saving into a file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.54:
- Fix concatenation bug that caused invalid SAS firmware files to be generated
- Catch error if no file name is entered for option 15, suboption 8
- Add ability to issue product-specific SAS IO Unit Control and Diag Data
Upload requests
- When modifying SAS IO Unit settings, if "all phys" is selected, the default
should be to preserve existing settings per phy, rather than overwrite with
new settings
- Handle self-configuring expanders when displaying expander route tables
- When setting a volume name, use the new RAID action
- Change the display of PCI location information to include the segment number
- Allow SMP requests and responses to be up to 1024 bytes (per the SAS spec)
- Fix problem where the maximum target allowed is less than expected, so some
targets can be missed in a scan
- Add preliminary parsing of MPI 2.0 NVDATA
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.53:
- Add initial support for MPI 2.0
- Add -q switch, to query files for version information
- Add -g switch, to guarantee asking of questions that otherwise would be
suppressed (such as the bus number, when there's only one bus); this makes
it easier to script lsiutil from Perl
- Rework the way that ports are found under Solaris, to eliminate what are
sometimes lengthy delays waiting for prtconf to run -- the new code uses
the devinfo library to directly walk the device tree
- Fix memory leaks when using the -j switch (ports not selected were not
being closed), and when using options 18 or 44
- Add "Set SAS phy offline/online"
- Add ability to save persistent mappings to a file, then later restore them
- Add "Diagnostic Page Test", which reads any SCSI diagnostic pages
- Add code to enable or disable the read or write caches in SCSI devices
- Fix incomplete implementation of "Force firmware to fault (with C0FFEE)"
- Add verification of internal FCode checksum
- Add verification of PCIR image length
- Extend "Inject/Repair media error" test so that it works for SATA devices
- When downloading drive firmware, set default mode to 5 for SATA devices
- Fix bug in "Show physical disks" that assumed physdisk numbers were dense
- Detect multi-pathed disks when creating RAID volumes, and suppress their
inclusion in the device list
- Add code to allow binary files to be written when dumping chip locations
(the -g switch must be used for force the question)
- Fix an endian bug when dumping chip locations below 0x10000000
- Modified SAS phy/link reset code to ask for a device handle, so that remote
phys or links (i.e., on expanders) can be reset
- For DOS/EFI, avoid issuing Port Enable if possible, since that request can
take a long time to complete
- Change method of checking for "context reply" after SCSI request passthrough
under Windows, from looking for a specific MsgContext value, to looking for
the reply's MsgLength being zero
- Add retries under Linux if an IOCTL fails with EAGAIN
- Increase size of DOS/EFI scratch buffer to 1 MB (from 64 KB) to accommodate
large drive firmware downloads
- When exiting on DOS/EFI, don't reset a port that was not brought online
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.52:
- Make changes required to allow an EBC version for EFI
- Make changes required to allow native 64-bit IA64 and AMD64 versions
for Windows
- Modify Linux workarounds for IOC_INIT (needed to write Manufacturing
config pages)
- For Solaris, modify findPorts() to first use "prtconf -D", and then as
a fallback, use /etc/path_to_inst, so that working ports can be more
accurately identified
- Fix several big-endian bugs in the RAID-related options
- Don't print a stripe size for IM volumes (it's not valid like it is for
IME and IS volumes)
- Add support for a few new FC Management toolbox functions
- Rewrite getOsDeviceName() for Solaris, so that FCA devices are handled
as well as SCSA devices
- Fix an off-by-one message when complaining about incorrect VPD end tags
- Enhance SAS NVDATA parser to handle version 2D
- Support NPIV for FC by adding a -v switch (to identify which virtual
port to masquerade as)

- Increase chunk size for firmware download/upload, for DOS only
- Allow Sun's mpt driver to work (for Solaris)
- Fix endian bugs in firmware download when checking for 1MB/2MB issues
- Dump enclosure pages when displaying attached devices for SAS
- Add checks for maximum physical disks in a volume
- When creating a volume, allow user to specify "no initial sync"
- Display FC WWNs and SAS WWID as part of -i (aka option 68)
- Add FC949E A2, 53C1030T A2, SAS1064E B3, SAS1068E B3, and 1078 C2 chips
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes for 1.50:
- Rearrange some source files to allow easier building on Windows

- Add "Display Log entries" and "Clear (erase) Log entries"
- Add "Upload FLASH section"
- Add "Display version information"
- Add "Display/Program chip VPD information"
- Add back deleting of persistent entries for SAS, and add "Change
Bus/Target of a existing mapping"
- Add code to firmware download that handles the SAS phase 8 to phase 8
bridge firmware image (version 1.18.99)
- When erasing the BIOS, fill with FF rather than 00 to match the FLASH
erase pattern
- Add ability to control booting under EFI for "Change FC Port settings"
- Modify "Change WWID" code to allow for variable-sized config page
- Under DOS or EFI, after any RAID action, sleep for 5 seconds to allow
