RELEASE NOTES FOR version hpsa.5.5.0.120-1.01 of the hpsa driver for HPE Smart Array controllers

hpsa: fix hpe rebranding issues

Change branding to conform to new Hewlett Packard Enterprise guidelines

Change abort handler and completion path code to avoid potential double completion.

Show command type in debug function print_cmd.

Update some driver messages that had typos.

Avoid performance issues by allowing driver to skip over spun-down
spare disks when performing inquiries of all attached devices. Preventing an inquiry to these devices avoids having to spin up the disk, which can take some time, during which IO is delayed.


Add a timeout for driver-initiated commands. This prevents faulty drives from hanging a driver's device rescan process.

Allow multiple busses in bus:target:lun addressing. VMware no longer restricts devices to a single bus.

Update the support email for the driver to Microsemi address.


Avoid problem in HP SSD Smart Path submission code when configuration
is in process of changing. In that case, avoid ioaccel path and send
request normally, through RAID path.

Simplify encryption-enablement code in HP SSD Smart Path.
