BMC information

BMC versions

The following version information is taken from the BMC Firmware Release notes for the X12STL-F/-IF:

BMC version	Build-Date
1.13.04	(6-27-2022)
1.13.09	(2-4-2023)
1.13.10	(3-20-2023)

Changelog

Extract from the changelogs:

1.13.10 (3/20/2023)
Fixes 1. MEL Log msg didn't match with spec 1.04 when enabling the Dynamic update. (DNS)

1.13.09 (2/4/2023)
1. Modified the Dedicated Link options: Add 1G Full and remove 10M Half/Full except X12STD-F and
X12STE-F. X12STD-F Dedicated Link is fixed in Auto Negotiation. X12STE-F Dedicated Link is fixed in
1G Full. X12DPFR-AN6 Dedicated Link is fixed in 100M Full.
2. After Tatlow, the BIOS has only provided BIOS ID for HII attributes displayed in Redfish.
Considering that the BIOS ID is not readable information and meaningless to end users. While it also violates the Redfish design concept that provides human-readable data for users. 
In order to improve it, making the Supermicro Redfish design fit into the mainstream design and being competitive, the BMC design team proposed a new translated mechanism to improve our Redfish design.
3. Network IPv4 DNS Server2 IP stays at 0.0.0.0 after saving a valid IP.
4. The "SNMPv2" help window frame is not complete at the right-hand side (Japanese).
5. It doesn’t work when searching the keywords "State" at "Task List."
6. Function -- Can't get system log on syslog.
7. The duplicated rule prompt tips should be translated to Simplified Chinese and Japanese at the IP Access Control.
8. Enable/Disable "SNMP" confirm message should be translated to Simplified Chinese and Japanese.
9. In-Band - Test "Change LAN via BMC configuration" fail [139848] SUM test case 373 fail. [139847]
[SUMECO] Test case 373 - In-Band - Test "Change LAN via BMC configuration" fail, due to the inability to modify the BMC LAN.
10. Power Average Usage reading value is higher than Max Peak value under Power Consumption.
11. Active Directory Remote Group character cap too short.
12. [WEB] MEL should log BMC firmware was updated successfully.
13. The network AOC displays incorrect info on Web GUI.
14. A network number mismatch will occur when performing ac on/off stress test.

1.13.04 (6/27/2022)
1. Removed ability to create anonymous account or null value.
2. Added Chassis workaround for Tatlow platform or set lock down mode and locate Unit ID.
3. SAS 3808/3908 card monitoring.
4. Fix redfish login checking issue when input password shorter than real one but all correct.
5. Fixed an issue where reloading the IPMI Configuration loses SMTP sender address.
6. Fixed IPMI ECO automation test failed.
7. Fixed buffer overflow in ipmi_lan ASF protocol.
8. Fixed resolv.conf won't be deleted when BMC reset to factory default settings.
9. Fixed in band test "Change LAN via BMC configuration" fail due to BMC LAN cannot be modified.
