Additional Notes For Driver Updates

The following notes are included at the request of a vendor for the listed driver:

  • lpfc: Locked optics support is enabled for LPE32000 HBAs and all variant HBAs of this architecture. With this capability, these HBAs will detect and enable both Avago or Emulex certified SFP and QSFP optics.

    For driver rev 11.0.0.13 and higher unqualified optics will be disabled, the link will not come up, an error message is written to the log file and the lpfc driver will display this message:

    3176 Port Name [wwpn] Unqualified optics - Replace with Avago optics for Warranty and Technical support
  • mpt3sas: The mpt2sas driver has been merged with the mpt3sas driver to provide a single driver module that supports both SAS 2.0 and SAS 3.0 HBAs. Changes have been applied to dracut to correctly handle the module aliases for the migration to a single driver module.
