Release Notes

• Issue: ASM-4453: When you add a server using "Add Resource" to a service the UI is
missing the option to select "Management IP Source".
o Description : In ASM 8.1.1, when you add a server, ASM user interface does
not have the option to choose the "
Management IP Source ".
Resolution/Workaround : None .
• Issue: ASM-4561: Problems with 7.12 broadcom Firmware.
Description : Broadcom NIC firmware 7.12.xx is not compatible with ASM
8.1.1. It can cause intermittent connectivity issues which will result in
hypervisor and bare metal OS deployment failures.
o
Resolution/Workaround : Apply the firmware available in the latest ASM
catalog. Alternatively, manually downgrade your Broadcom NIC firmware to
7.10.xx. Also, note that v7.12.17 will not work and later versions resolves this
issue, but 7.10.xx is the qualified version.
• Issue: ASM-4562 : When removing resources from ASM HyperV/SCVMM service, resources
not completely cleaned up in SCVMM.
o
Description : While deleting resources from a service, or removing a service
including HyperV clusters in SCVMM, there may be cases where ASM service
is removed but some of the resources cannot be cleaned in SCVMM. This can
happen when SCVMM server and database cannot keep up with ASM
teardown requests.
Resolution/Workaround : Check SCVMM for any running jobs that appear to
no longer be making progress, and remove. Manually, remove any clusters
and hosts that could not be removed from SCVMM. See, SCVMM
documentation on how to ensure SCVMM resources are sufficient for your
environment.
• Issue: ASM-4582 : ASM Template not configuring FCOE VLANs correctly with M420
connected to Slot 2B on M1000e chassis.
o
Description : M420 servers on slot B/D have different connectivity with IOMs.
For these servers NIC Port1 is connected to IOM2 and NIC Port2 is connected
to IOM1.
o
Resolution/Workaround : Considering the connectivity, for FCoE
deployments on M420 servers connected on Slot B/D, deployment template
needs to define the network configuration as:
 FCoE VLAN on Port1 which will be configured on IOM2
 FCoE VLAN on Port2 will be configured on IOM1
o
For example
 FCoE VLAN on IOM1 is 255 and FCoE VLAN on IOM2 is 256.
 In the network configuration for the servers, need to specify
•
FCoE VLAN 256 on Port1
FCoE VLAN 255 on Port 2
• Issue: ASM-4590: Intel NIC cards need to be at version 15.5.0 or later for firmware updates
to work.
o
Description : Firmware update for 12th generation blades with intel cards and
Broadcom card fails in some cases when Intel NICs are installed if it is not of
version 15.5.0.
o
Resolution/Workaround : Updating Intel X520 cards with versions earlier than
15.5.0 to 16.5.x requires a manual update to 15.5.0, prior to upgrading to
16.5.x with ASM.
