System becomes unresponsive during BIOS post when the Intel X520 PCIe adapter is present on the system and iSCSI mode is enabled for Intel X550 LOMs. This happens only when boot mode is set to legacy.

If this issue occurs, do one of the following:

• Switch to UEFI boot mode.

Or

1. When system is hung, set the LOM Option to disable using the CIMC feature to set the BIOS tokens.

2. Reboot the server to the UEFI shell.

3. Use the Intel bootutil and enable iSCSI for X520 adapter and reboot the server (Intel bootutil along with its userguide is part of the driver iso).

4. On next boot, during BIOS post enter into Intel OPROM Utility(Ctrl +D), enable the ISCSI mode for X550 LOM. Save and restart.

5. LOM ISCSI LUN will boot without any issue.

1. Before upgrading to 4.0(4a) release, upgrade only the firmware of the drives to SCV1CS07, which is part of Release 4.0(4a) or later release packages.

2. Now proceed with full upgrade of 4.0(4a) or later release package.

If already impacted by this issue, do the following to recover:

1. Downgrade Cisco 12G Modular SAS HBA to a previous working version (00.00.00.50 or 00.00.00.58 available in 4.0(1) and 4.0(2) release packages respectively).

2. Upgrade the firmware of the impacted drives to SCV1CS07, which is part of Release 4.0(4a) or later release packages.

3. After drive firmware is updated, proceed with upgrade of Cisco 12G Modular SAS HBA firmware to 09.00.00.06, which is part of Release 4.0(4a) or later release packages.

Cisco UCS C220 M4 and C240 M4 servers with specific on-board NAND flash, which run Cisco IMC release 3.0(4d) or earlier, fail to upgrade to any new Cisco IMC release due to bad blocks on NAND flash.

This issue does not impact server operation, only the ability to upgrade Cisco IMC.

Following error is seen while upgrading HUU:

Following FSM state of the server is seen in Cisco UCSM integrated servers:

Cisco recommends that you contact TAC to check for the number of bad blocks in the NAND flash before attempting firmware upgrade. It is recommended to fix the condition before attempting the upgrade rather than fixing it after a failed Cisco IMC firmware upgrade.

Debug plug-in is loaded to inspect the bad block and fix the condition if the system is determined to have too many bad blocks on the NAND flash.

If you are already facing this issue, contact TAC to verify the bad blocks and recover them.
