STL-78089 | ROCm HIP pointer queries may cause a process hang during teardown. This is a known ROCm issue related to OpenMP target allocations recorded in https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems/issues/7099. | Use HIP-managed allocations (e.g., hipMalloc()) instead of OpenMP target allocations for buffers used with OPX GPU-direct/HMEM operations.

Product Limitations
This release has the following limitations:
If you plan to deploy in a hybrid fabric with OPA100 and CN5000 interoperating together, contact support@cornelis.com for guidance before deploying this release.
Bulk Transfer Service is not available on port 1 of dual port SuperNIC cards.
When running MVAPICH3 with the OPX provider of libfabric, a
*** buffer overflow detected ***error may cause the job to terminate. This issue has been observed when running with a high number of processes, particularly when using 1 process per core (that is, the maximum number of processes the system can support). A workaround is to set the environment variableMV2_ENABLE_AFFINITY=0to disable CPU affinity.Queries to single port adapters will reflect that there are two ports with the first port always showing as offline.
Running of MPI jobs across both CN5000 and OPA100 components in hybrid fabrics (fabrics where CN5000 and OPA100 are connected) is not presently supported.
In the opafm.xml file, the default HFI port for fm0 must be set to "2" for proper operation:
<Name>fm0</Name> <Hfi>1</Hfi> <Port>2</Port>Non-default
MinShareVLMemandDedicatedVLMemvalues are not supported. Only use default values.FM Failover is presently not supported. Use a single Fabric Manager.
NVMe over Fabric is currently not supported.
Some distros versions may ship with ib_qib driver enabled. This driver is incompatible with the CN5000 OPX Software and may result in errors such as
disagrees about version of symbolin logs. Setblacklist ib_qib.During link bring up on a mixed OPA100/CN5000 fabric the FM log may show "Mismatch/Unable to set SCVL_t Map" warnings and link bounces may be observed as the fabric comes up. These messages and link bounces are expected on mixed fabrics and do not indicate a fault.
Enabling vFabrics with QoS results in Neighbor Mismatch/Unable to set SCVL_nt Map and Failed to init SL Maps in the log, and port bounces. There is no workaround. Port bounces are part of the standard recovery mechanism. These messages should only occur once and only when there is a change in the SCVL maps.
opainfo displays a single port adapter as a dual port adapter. No workaround. This is informational.
Ubuntu server fails to boot with more than one CN5000 SuperNIC installed. Ubuntu platforms cannot host multiple SuperNICs.
Bulk Transfer Service (BTS, bulksvc) is not supported on GPU platforms.
MVAPICH-Plus 4.1 for GPU is not supported.

Resolved Issues
None.
Open Issues
The following table lists the open issues for this release.
ID | Description | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
STL-77756 | After updating the SuperNIC firmware using updateAgent, one or more SuperNIC cards in a multi-card system may remain in a "Pending" firmware state following an AC power cycle. Additional AC power cycles do not resolve the issue. | Re-run the updateAgent firmware update on the affected SuperNIC card(s). To help ensure all cards complete the firmware update on the first attempt, fully power off the system (not just a power cycle) and wait at least one minute before powering back on, allowing all card capacitors to fully discharge. |
STL-76776 | Network connectivity may fail after hot-swapping cables of different types on the SuperNIC. | Reboot the host to detect the new cables. |
STL-76323 | SuperNICs may intermittently fail to enumerate on the PCIe bus or initialize after a cold boot or power cycle. In affected systems, one or more SuperNICs may be absent from the OS, preventing the node from participating in the fabric until the device is successfully detected and initialized. | Power cycle the server. |
STL-75609 | The updateAgent tool may become stuck when downgrading SuperNIC firmware. | Use |
STL-74502 | When updating SuperNIC firmware with multiple SuperNIC adapters in a server, some cards may fail to properly update. | Disable the port on the failed SuperNIC cards using |
STL-73738 | Reloading the ipoib kernel module without also reloading the hfi1 module may cause FM errors. | To avoid this, always reload the hfi1 module along with the ipoib module. |
STL-73195 | When updating the SuperNIC firmware using
| Retry the |
STL-73088 | On some dual-port devices, inbound IPoIB traffic may fail after a system reboot, or after restarting the FM and IPoIB interfaces on the FM node. | Ping out from the unreachable interface, and IP traffic will resume. |
STL-72988 | When updating firmware in a CN5000 SuperNIC in a management node, updateAgent times out when the FM is running at the same time. | Run the updateAgent with the Refer to the CN5000 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide, “Update the SuperNIC Firmware” for the full procedure. |
STL-72817 | When reading hfi1 port counters from sysfs, you will receive an | This message can be ignored. |
STL-72598 | In some cases, when unloading hfi1 or ib_ipoib, the dmesg log may display an error stating:
| This message can be safely ignored. |
STL-72583 | In some cases the dmesg log may contain a message stating:
| This is cosmetic and will not affect functionality. |
STL-71647 | On rare occasions, the link may come up at a width less than 4X. | Bounce the link. |
Product Limitations
This release has the following product limitations:
lspci does not enumerate the CN5000 SuperNIC with ASPM enabled, causing the BIOS screen on Intel D50DNP platforms to lock up. Disable ASPM in the BIOS.
Bulk Transfer Service is not available on port 1 of dual port SuperNIC cards.
SuperNICs received from Cornelis with firmware version prior to 12.0.2.0.6 do not include UEFI (Option ROM). Contact Cornelis Customer Support for firmware and update procedures.
Update agent fails to update the SuperNIC Firmware when the OPX Software version is 12.0.2 or newer and SuperNIC Firmware is version is 12.0.1.
To work around this limitation, reduce OPX Software version to 12.0.1, update the SuperNIC Firmware to version 12.0.2, then reinstall the 12.0.2 or newer OPX Software.
CN5000 SuperNIC enumerates at x4 PCIe width on some platforms if the width is not forced to x16 in the BIOS. Configure the BIOS to enforce PCIe x16 width.
