The Smart Array P230i, P430, P431, P731m, P830i, and P830 Storage Controller Firmware version 4.54 addresses the following issues from prior firmware versions:
- DDR cache could be randomly disabled after several boots
- A hot-inserted replacement drive may show as a predictive failure if the original drive was identified as a predictive failure.
- The Controller cache module may be marked as permanently disabled if the Smart Storage Battery is removed or failed while the system is online, even if SSA was previously used to enable write caching without a backup power source.
- The Controller can become unresponsive due to a SmartCache pending flush operation when a read-ahead and a read-fill are performed in sequence.
- The System may stop responding if a parity error is found during surface scan of a RAID6 volume. (POST Lockup 0x13)
- The Controller crash dump may not be collected after a controller failure.
- Volume in NEEDS_REBUILD state never transitions to REBUILDING.
