RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 8 Ameen Rahman 2018-07-18 22:19:46 UTC 
Yuying,

Firmware needs to be part of RHEL7.6

Chad,

Do you know if the Firmware has been pulled into RHEL7.6?

My understanding is that it has.

we(network-qe) just have qede, we will check the firmware version and run nic basic functional testing as regression testis it satisfied for verification? 

Thanks,
Yuying

Comment 16 Ameen Rahman 2018-09-14 21:26:41 UTC 
1. Management FW (MFW) flashed on the adapter. This firmware is backward/forward compatible with drivers. IOW, newer drivers work with older MFW and older drivers work with newer MFW for common subset of functionalities supported by the combination. 

2.  Storm Firmware (FW) that goes into liux-firmware.git and under /lib/firmware/qed. This firmware is tightly coupled with a given driver version. IOW, a given version of the driver will only load a given version of FW. Whenever there is a new FW, driver will need a patch to utilize the new firmware. Once the firmware is in linux-firmware.git and the driver patches are upstream, we submit two BZs for firmware submission and corresponding driver patch submission to RHEL. E.g., This BZ was used to pull a new version of Storm FW into RHEL.
