HP Integrity Servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Release Notes v6.1

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) and EFI-based Setup Utility (EBSU)
I/O card firmware values display as unknown
Issue The EBSU Maintain Firmware feature displays some I/O card firmware values
as unknown in the Local version column. This occurs when the card
firmware does not return a data structure that EBSU recognizes because the
card firmware is configured for 32-bit systems, it lacks an EFI driver, or has
corrupted firmware.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround
Flash the card firmware to correct the problem. If the card still has unknown
values after flashing it and resetting the system, contact your local support
specialist or visit http://www.hp.com/support/itaniumservers for help.
QLogic HBA firmware and EFI driver revisions display incorrectly
Issue The EBSU Maintain Firmware feature and the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
utility VPD tab might display QLogic HBA firmware and EFI driver values
incorrectly after the binaries have been updated. No functionality issues exist
because the binary itself is correctly flashed to the adapters Option ROM. For
this to occur, a QLogic multi-boot package must be first updated using
SANsurfer on a Windows Server-based IA64 system and then later updated in
the EFI Shell by EBSU. These separate events can occur hours or even months
apart.
Servers All Integrity
Workaround Flash the QLogic multi-boot package again using SANsurfer on a Windows
Server system. The firmware and EFI driver values display correctly during the
HBA Power On Self Test (POST) while booting up. These values also display
correctly in the Option ROM section on the Information tab in the SANSurfer
FC HBA Manager utility.
EBSU displays incorrect firmware version
Issue EBSU displays the Emulex 4 Gigabit cards (FC2143 and FC2243) firmware
version 2.10A10 as 2.10A1.

rx3600, rx2660
Workaround Run the Storage Adapter configuration for the Emulex card on EBSU. If the
configuration tool lists more than one card, select the intended card on the tool
and the firmware version is displayed correctly.
EBSU changes EFI Boot menu
Issue
If EBSU runs from vMedia, it changes the EFI Boot menu Internal Bootable
DVD to point to the vMedia device.

Workaround
Using the EFI Boot Manager, chose Boot Configuration and modify the Internal
Bootable DVD menu entry with the correct device path.
EBSU cannot change MPS settings if EFI password is set
Issue If the Administrator password is set in EBSU, the SFW recipe integrated in
EBSU blocks the MPS Setting.
