Update Firmware Using lputil
Prerequisites
• The driver for Linux (including lputil) is installed properly.
• The firmware file has been downloaded to a local drive.
This procedure uses the lputil utility, which is installed with the driver.
Procedure
To load firmware using lputil:
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.
6. Enter 0 twice to exit the utility.
The new firmware is transferred to flash ROM.
If you are updating the firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 3 through 5 to update the firmware
on the second port.
Caution: If you are using lputil to update firmware on an
LP1005DC-CM2, you must use lputil version 2.0a3 or later.
Caution: Do not interrupt this process or power down the system until
the process is complete.
