BCM57xx /BCM57xxx updates Limitations - When you update the firmware on Broadcom NetXterme I and
QLogic BCM57xx/BCM57xxx (previously known as Broadcom NetXtreme II) Ethernet adapters, you may
notice failure or incorrect rollback version displayed based on the firmware update used. This behavior occurs
because separate firmware update packages are provided for the Broadcom NetXtreme adapters and QLogic
BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters due to the acquisition of the Broadcom NetXtreme II cards by QLogic.
Prior to the acquisition, a common shared firmware update package was provided.
Limitations on updating firmware on Broadcom and QLogic adapters using iDRAC interfaces such as WS-
MAN, RACADM, iDRAC GUI, and Lifecycle Controller UI:
o
Rollback of Broadcom NetXtreme I to 7.10.X and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx Ethernet
adapters to 7.12.X from the iDRAC GUI may result in failure of rollback to 7.12.X.
o
Updating Broadcom NetXtreme I to 7.10.X and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx Ethernet
adapters to 7.12.7 results in updating both Broadcom NetXtreme I and QLogic BCM57xx and
BCM57xxx to 7.10.X.
o
Downgrading to version 7.10.X on a system with Broadcom NetXtreme I 7.10.X and QLogic
BCM57xx and BCM57xxx Ethernet adapters 7.12.X results in displaying the QLogic BCM57xx
and BCM57xxx Ethernet adapters rollback version as NULL even though it is updated to 7.10.X.
o
Repository updates to Broadcom NetXtreme I and QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx Ethernet
adapters works only with iDRAC version 2.10.10.10 or later.
o QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters may be displayed as Broadcom or QLogic depending
on the interface used such RACADM or WS-MAN.

Part replacement feature is not supported for PCIe SSD devices.
