1 Application Note EDC Firmware Update for QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter 1 Introduction This document provides instructions for IBM technical personnel and system administrators on how to perform an electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) firmware update on a QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card that is connected to one of these two switches: QLogic 8Gb switch Brocade 8Gb switch NOTE If you want to use a different switch than these two, always choose the QLogic 8Gb switch when prompted to select one of the two switches. The update involves these steps: 1) Verify and update the OS driver version (Section 3), and 2) Update the expansion card flash image and install the EDC firmware image (Section 4). The update may optionally be verified (Section 5). The firmware image used must be appropriate for the switch connected to the expansion card. CAUTION The update process requires system reboot. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS REBOOT; it will take slightly longer than usual. If the reboot is interrupted, the card will not function properly, 2 Supported Platforms The following OSs are supported: RHEL 6.5 (x86 and x64) VMware ESXi 5.0 and 5.1 (5.5 is not supported) Windows 2008 SP2 x86, 2008 R2 SP1 x64, 2012 R2 CU D 1

2 3 Verify/Update OS Driver Version 3 Verify/Update OS Driver Version NOTE PowerPC platform only: Proceed directly to Section 4. You do not need to perform the procedure described in this section. Before updating the EDC firmware, verify that the currently installed driver meets the minimum driver requirements listed in Table 3-1. The driver may be verified using either of the following methods: If the QLogic SANsurfer CLI (scli) utility is installed, the following command may be used: scli -i Note the following fields, as shown in Figure 3-1: Driver Version Driver Firmware Version If the scli utility is not installed, issue the following command that corresponds to your OS: RHEL 4.x: $ cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/* grep "Driver version" RHEL 5.x/6.x, SLES 10/11: $ cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/version If the current OS driver or firmware version does not meet the minimum requirements, install an updated driver using the installation instructions supplied with the driver package. Once the driver version meets the minimum requirements for the EDC update, update the Flash and EDC firmware images, as described in Section 4. CU D 2

17 Subsequent EDC Update Methods 7. If the versions are correct, remove access to the provided ISO, and then power down and restart the blade. CAUTION Do not interrupt the next system boot. Do not power off or reset the blade. This boot will take slightly longer than usual. If the EDC programming process is interrupted the expansion card will not function properly. 8. Upon the next power cycle, the actual EDC is updated offline through the active boot code (BIOS, uefi, or FCode). To complete the process, refer to the documentation for the boot code that was used. 4.4 Subsequent EDC Update Methods After you install the Flash image for the first time, use scli or the following boot code methods to change the EDC firmware when changing switch types: BIOS uefi FCode (PowerPC blades only) Update method availability depends on the hardware platform as defined in Table 4-2. Table 4-2.

18 Subsequent EDC Update Methods Each boot code method does the following: 1. Indicates for which switch (QLogic or Brocade) the EDC firmware type is currently set. 2. Allows you to update the expansion card s global NVRAM flag that indicates which image to push to the EDC on the next reboot. CAUTION Do not interrupt the next system boot. Do not power off or reset the blade. This boot will take slightly longer than usual. If the EDC programming process is interrupted the expansion card will not function properly. Rebooting the blade after selecting a new EDC image causes the following to occur: 1. The boot code comes up and checks the EDC load flag. 2. If the flag is not set, the boot process continues as normal. 3. If the flag is set, the boot code updates the EDC with the specified EDC code from Flash, resets the global NVRAM flag, sets the running flag, and then resets the QLogic chip on the card. Boot operation then resumes BIOS On Windows, Linux, and VMware ESX/ESXi platforms, the BIOS can select the EDC firmware image. To use this method, follow these instructions: 1. Reboot the system. 2. Press CTRL+Q to enter the BIOS utility. 3. In the Advanced Adapter Settings menu (Figure 4-14), the EDC FW option shows the current setting for the EDC firmware. 4. Press ENTER when the EDC FW option is highlighted to change the setting. 5. Save the setting when prompted. The EDC firmware is updated on the next boot sequence. CAUTION Do not interrupt the next system boot. Do not power off or reset the blade. This boot will take slightly longer than usual. If the EDC programming process is interrupted the expansion card will not function properly. CU D 18
