Intel Omni-Path Director Class Switch 100 Firmware 10.7.0.0.146 Description

New Features

- Q7 management board BIOS and board controller firmware update.

Resolved Issues

- SNMP MIBS are included for customer evaluation. Some features may not be fully implemented.
- Infrequently, an AOC may exhibit an unexpectedly high local link integrity error rate after the link comes up, relative to the error rate on previous link up occasions. This can be determined by observing a link quality of <5. These links may eventually experience a link width downgrade.
- A redundantly-managed Director-class switch may experience issues when trying to perform a firmware update of the slave management module (MM). This issue impacts both the command line interface (CLI) (fwUpdateChassis) and the graphical user interface (GUI) versions of the firmware update. If the master MM has logged Chassis Management redundancy available and if executing the fwVersion command on the master MM does not show the firmware versions of the slave MM, then that system will experience this firmware update issue. The issue is caused by a timing race. It has only been observed when MM slot M201 becomes the master after both modules are booted at approximately the same time (e.g., due to a power cycle or a reboot now all).
- SNMP/Target Configuration: Adding a new SNMP address with the Storage Type other does not work correctly.
- Chassis Viewer GUI Help: The SNMP Target Configuration Help screen needs the following change to reflect the removal of the Storage Type other: "Volatile or Other indicates it is not saved." to "Volatile indicates it is not saved."
- SNMP: Changing the Storage Type for a SnmpTargetParameter is not saved following a reboot.
- A Director class Management Module (MM) may incorrectly log an error regarding the fpga bitstream of the module being at the wrong expected level (e.g., fpga bitstream version=0x0000a201 expected=0x00000102).
- AuditLog is based on the Notice level log. When the Notice level is turned on/off, the auditLog may fail to log this level change action.
- Resolved FM process out of memory condition.
- Resolved multiple FM synchronization issue that can lead to FM failure.
- Switch CLI command ismPortQsfpInfo has been updated to for QSFP-DD support.
- Failovers between redundant Management Modules (MM) running two different firmware versions (i.e., 10.7 or earlier) may result in errors, and a disruption in fabric switching

About Firmware Updates:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device's functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit's overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn't recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it's best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device's firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don't miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
