4 INTRODUCTION Compatibility This manual is compatible with all Sun-branded Fibre Channel adapters by Emulex Prerequisites Local boot disk. The intended Fibre Channel target should be big enough to hold all system files and the swap slice of the current local boot disk. Things to Know Before You Download Make a directory on your system before you download and uncompress the.all file into it. Ignore all of the other files in the.zip file. Ensure that critical files on your local boot disk are backed up as a measure of protection. This release contains one.all file which updates the kernel if the existing kernel is an earlier version. If the update process is interrupted (such as by a power outage) and the kernel is being updated, you may have to return the HBA to Emulex for repair. Firmware Update Manual Page 1

5 UPDATING FIRMWARE Emulex offers a variety of utilities that you can use to update the HBA firmware. The utilities that you can use depend on your operating system and, in some cases, driver: Operating System HBAnyware lputilnt lputil Windows X X Linux X X After you decide which utility to use, see the appropriate update procedure: HBAnyware utility: See Updating Firmware Using the HBAnyware Utility on page 2. lputilnt utility: See Updating Firmware Using lputilnt on page 4. lputil utility: See Updating Firmware Using lputil on page 5. Updating Firmware Using the HBAnyware Utility Prerequisites One of the following drivers is installed properly: SCSIport Miniport driver. Storport Miniport driver. Emulex driver for Linux. The HBAnyware utility has been installed properly. The firmware file has been downloaded from the Emulex Web site and extracted to a directory on your local drive. Loading the Firmware 1. Start the HBAnyware utility: In Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server: In Remote Manager mode, click Start, Programs, Emulex and HBAnyware. In Local Element Manager mode, type HBAnyware at the command line and press the Enter key. In Linux: su to root and run the following script: /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware 2. In the discovery tree (left pane), click the adapter to which you want to load the firmware. Firmware Update Manual Page 2

6 3. In the property tabs (right pane), select the Firmware tab. Figure 1: Firmware Tab 4. On the Firmware tab, click Browse. The Select Firmware File browse window is displayed. 5. Browse to the directory into which you extracted the firmware file. Select the firmware file to download and click OK. A status bar displays the progress of the download. During this time, the HBA in the discovery tree is displayed in red text, indicating that it is offline. It is displayed in black text when the update is complete. If you are updating the firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 2 through 5 to update the firmware on the second port. Current Firmware Field Descriptions Firmware Version - the Emulex firmware version number for this model of HBA. Operational Firmware Name - if visible, the name of the firmware that is operational. SLI-1 Firmware Name - the name of the SLI -1 firmware overlay. SLI-2 Firmware Name - the name of the SLI-2 firmware overlay. Note: If the state of the boot code message on the board has changed, this change will be reflected immediately on the Details tab. Loading the Firmware Using Batch Mode Downloading firmware in batch mode allows you to install firmware on multiple HBAs in a single step. Batch firmware loading is restricted to a single firmware file. Note: No other HBAnyware utility functions can be performed while batch firmware loading is in progress. 1. Start the HBAnyware utility (see page 2). 2. From the menu bar, select Batch and click Download Firmware. 3. After the Select Firmware File dialog box is displayed, browse to locate and select the firmware file to download. 4. Click Open. A tree-view, which shows all HBAs and their corresponding hosts for which the selected firmware file is compatible, is displayed. Firmware Update Manual Page 3

7 5. Click the box next to an HBA to select or remove that HBA from the batch process. Click the box next to a host to select or remove all eligible HBAs for that host from the batch process. Figure 2: Batch Firmware Download Window, Selecting HBAs to Update 6. Click Start Download. 7. After downloading begins, the tree-view displays the progress. As firmware for a selected HBA is being downloaded, it appears orange in the tree-view. After completion, the entry for the HBA changes to green if the download succeeded, or to red if the download failed. Figure 3: Batch Firmware Download Window, Download Complete 8. When downloading is complete, click Print Log to get a hard copy of the activity log. 9. Click Close to exit the batch procedure. Updating Firmware Using lputilnt Prerequisites One of the following drivers is installed and loaded properly: SCSIport Miniport driver Storport Miniport driver lputilnt is installed properly. The appropriate firmware file has been downloaded and extracted to a directory on your local drive. Firmware Update Manual Page 4

8 The system is in a state in which this type of maintenance can be performed: I/O activity on the bus has been quieted. Cluster software, or any other software that relies on the HBA to be available, has been stopped or paused. Loading the Firmware 1. Click Start, Programs, Emulex and lputilnt. 2. Select the desired host adapter. 3. Select Firmware Maintenance from the Category list. Note: If the letter W appears next to a firmware entry, it indicates that the image is represented in the wakeup parameters. This means that the HBA will use that specific image if it needs a firmware image. 4. Click Download. 5. Locate the new firmware file. 6. Click Open. The new firmware is transferred to flash ROM. If you are updating firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 2 through 6 to update the firmware on the second port. Updating Firmware Using lputil Prerequisites: The driver for Linux is installed properly. lputil is installed properly. The firmware file has been downloaded and extracted to a local drive. Loading the Firmware Caution: Do not interrupt this process or power down the system until the process is complete. 1. Start the utility by entering the complete path to lputil. The path in the example reflects the default installation path. If the installation path was modified, adjust the command appropriately. /usr/sbin/lpfc/lputil 2. From the Main menu, enter 3, Firmware Maintenance. 3. If prompted, choose the HBA that is being updated. 4. Enter 1, Load Firmware Image. 5. Enter the full path to the firmware file. The new firmware is transferred to flash ROM. If you are updating firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 2 through 5 to update the firmware on the second port. Firmware Update Manual Page 5
