Defects Fixed (2):

ID: SCGCQ01460405
Headline: BIOS POST displays duplicate entries of an HBA.
Description Of Change: Initially, BIOS populates all the adapters that are detected and later evaluates each adapter's configuration so that they will be removed or kept in the list based on their configurations. BIOS
correctly identified the adapters that are to be removed but did not erase their entry which resulted in displaying wrong adapters and sometimes a duplicate entry. Fix is to erase the adapter entry
which has to be removed from the list.
Issue Description: BIOS Post displays disabled adapters. The adapters are disabled in BIOS configuration utility. In some specific systems with specific system settings, there are instances where a duplicate adapter
entry is displayed in POST.
Steps To Reproduce: Connect at least 3 controllers to a system. Disable some of them in CU. Observe in POST that disabled controllers are listed. Some time duplicate entry is observed.

ID: SCGCQ01445428 (Port Of Defect SCGCQ01379363)


Headline: OpROM POST display is incorrect when at least one HBA is disabled in configuration utility.
Description Of Change: OpROM displays POST information based on saved configurations. These configurations are read and updated if needed on every reboot. The settings were read from a HBA but were being
written into first HBA that was detected instead of where it was read from. Change is to read and write into same HBA.
Issue Description: OpROM POST display contains disabled HBA information. Some HBA are disabled in configuration utility and PCI slots where these HBA are connected are disabled to load legacy OpROM. There
is at least one HBA which is enabled and in boot order. These HBA are moved from other system. OpROM is expected to reconfigure the settings in new system on first boot and subsequent
reboots should display correct information in POST.
Steps To Reproduce: 1. Connect 3 HBA to a system.
2. Disable 2 of them and keep one enabled. Make sure all 3 HBA are in boot order.
3. Save the changes.
4. Migrate all 3 HBA to another system in which PCI Slots can be enabled/disabled from loading legacy OpROM.
5. Disabled PCI Slots of HBA which were disabled in step 2.
6. Reboot system and observe that OpROM POST displays disabled HBA information in every reboots.

Enhancements Implemented (2):

ID: SCGCQ01510061
Headline: OEM specific Product Name updated.

ID: SCGCQ01513575 (Port Of EnhancementRequest SCGCQ01409760)
