2.23 From 4.04.00 through 4.05.00

Changes


ER60313 ER60909 ER61325 ER61654


ER60321 2532 only. Added the ability to specify a maximum Fibre Channel Link speed to be negotiated. This feature is enabled by bit 12 of the Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Option 3. When this bit is set to 1, firmware will negotiate the FC data rate from the given max speed specified by driver in bits 15-13 of the Initialize Firmware Control Block’s Firmware Options 3 field to two speeds down to what the SFP allowed.

This option can also be set in the Data Rate Mailbox Command (05dh). When incoming mailbox 1 is set to 03h, firmware forces a loss of sync, restarts link initialization, and negotiates the FC data rate from the given max speed specified by driver in incoming mailbox 2 to two speeds down to what the SFP allowed.

ER60400 Allow system driver to send LOGO ELS via ELS Pass-Through IOCB using a N-Port Handle of FFFFh.
