What’s New? Ivy Bridge support for M820 Fault Tolerant (Redundant) PERCs Support for Windows Server 2012 R2 Support for NVIDIA K2 GPGPU Broadcom 10GbE quad port NIC Emulex SeaHawk (FH) PCIe Adapter Emulex 10G NDC Fixes None for this release. Important Notes Until the HDDs and PCIe cards are mapped by using the CMC web interface, the shared hard disk drives (HDDs) and PCIe cards are managed by the CMC and are not visible to the operating system in the server modules. For instructions about mapping PCIe cards and managing the storage subsystem, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version User's Guide available at the support site. All the server modules must be turned off before updating the firmware for chassis infrastructure and SPERC. CMC firmware can be updated while the servers are turned on. Some advanced features require CMC enterprise license. For more information about the CMC licenses, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX Version User's Guide available at the support site. Before updating the storage component using the web interface, make sure that the browser’s Cookies are enabled. PERC storage rebuild may take more time when more number of I/O requests are processed, and could also make CMC and the TTY log to be out of sync for a short period of time. In fault-tolerant (Redundant) mode, the controller associated with virtual disks or physical disk drives is the active controller. Before updating a single PERC, you must turn off the servers before starting the update process. Known Issues When you add a member Chassis to a Chassis group using the Multi-Chassis Management feature, you cannot specify the group members with an IPv6 address.
