The BIOS and ME Firmware can't be updated successfully via Intel® One Boot Flash Update Utility(OFU) under SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Problem Implication Status Workaround OFU will fail to update BIOS & ME under SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Operating System. If the system is running SuSE* Linux Enterprise Server 11* (64-bit) with SP2 Operating System, using OFU to update System Firmware Update Package(SFUP) will fail. This issue may be fixed in a future OFU version. Update System Firmware Update Package(SFUP) from EFI environment using iFlash32, FWPIAUpdate and FRUSDR Utility. 14. BMC continuously sends HDD assert/de-assert event during HDD RAID rebuild under ESRT2 mode of the SCU controller Problem HDD fault will keep asserting and de-asserting frequent during RAID rebuild under ESRT2. Implication During HDD ESRT2 RAID rebuild, there's flood HDD fault assert/deassert(SAS RAID) or Rebuild/remap (SATA RAID) logs into SEL. Status This issue may be fixed in future BIOS release. Workaround None. 15. Hard drives connected through SAS expander can't be detected in legacy mode Problem If hard drives are connected through expander to SCU ports and configured under RSTe mode, the hard drives can't be detected by system in legacy mode (default BIOS setting). Implication Users can't use the hard drives connected through expander as boot device to install OS. But users can install OS to other hard drives which are not connected through expander and load RSTe driver to make the hard drives connected through expander visible to OS. Or users can change Boot Options -> EFI Optimized Boot to "Enabled" in BIOS Setup so that hard drives connected through expander can be detected by the system. 8
