ServeRAID M5000 Series SAS/SATA Controller Firmware Update

Adapters Supported: ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA Controller (46M0829)
ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA Controller (46M0916)
ServeRAID M5025 SAS/SATA Controller (46M0830)

NOTE TO SERVICE - Reference RETAIN #N/A


Version 12.12.0-0085 - Critical
-------------------
Enhancements:
- Prevent non IBM firmware from being flashing on IBM ServeRAID branded
   controllers.
- Enabled iBBU08 battery modes.
- ibbu battery will no longer be marked as bad when very high capacity is
   detected.
- Dimmer Switch function has been disabled by default.

Fixes:
- Fixed a issue where a NMI error will occur.
- Fixed issue where enabling security causes the configuration to be missing,
   and a configured FDE array to be seen as foreign on reboot.
- Removed BBU mode select from Web BIOS for all controllers.
- Fixed issue where pulling VD 0 from a R60 and rebooting would cause two
   foreign configurations.
- Fixed issue where WebBIOS gives unclear message when enabling FDE on an
   existing Disk Group.
- Fixed issue where iBBU07 batteries display 65K capacity and are marked SOH
   bad.
- Fixed issue where iBBU Absolute Charge is displayed differently
- Fixed issue where the logical Unit ID (VPD page 0x83) changed after
   foreign import.
- Fixed issue where the LDBBM entries are incorrect after foreign import.
- Fixed issue where the controller does not work with pci set to nomsi in
   kdump kernel.
- Fixed issue where the LED behavior is incorrect, wrong drive will blink
   activity.
- Fixed issue where the controller cannot sustain at least 950 MBps
   performance with Cache Flush setting one sec.
- Fixed issue where the set properties command fails
- Fixed issue where the iBBU07 battery reported remaining capacity is much
   too high (64751 mAh) after a learn cycle.
- Fixed issue where extended retries of write verify commands cause a driver
   timeout.
- Fixed issue where the configuration becomes foreign after  the firmware
   fails multiple attempts to access raid key during boot.
- Fixed firmware issue where a replacement drive is not seen if the
   replacement is added during power cycle.
- Fixed a issue where an alert should be sent when one phy connector
   between the SAS controller and SAS expander is degraded.
- Enabled puncturing for SATA drives.
- Enabled copy back on SMART.
- Fixed an intermittent RAID key failure during power-on.
- Fixed firmware issue where firmware would cause the controller to
   (sles11sp1/rhel6) reset when ‘lspci –vvx’ command is executed.
- Change for iBBU-08 to support firmware Mode5 WB capacity from 960mAh to
   674mAh for low power DDR-2
- Fixed a problem where the iBBU battery will not charge while the server
   continually resets causing the iBBU battery to over-charge.

Version 12.12.0-0098 - Suggested
-------------------
Fixes:
- Fixed issue where the battery gauge is not accurate for aged batteries
   due to the discharge profiles of aged batteries not matching that of the
   new batteries. (RETAIN Tip H205013)
- Fixed a problem where a reboot would cause a hot spare to revert to
   'Unconfigured Good' state when Performance Accelerator Key is attached. (RETAIN Tip H204925)

Added Dell 12.10.3.0001

Dell FW is smaller than all others
Have renamed the 2x Dell FW

3001.del.rom - 12.10.3.0001
To keep DOS 8.3 naming compatability

[mobilenvidia]

Renamed firmware file sas2108.zip
Zipped file for better OS support
