Load Boot Code using lputil
Prerequisites
• The Emulex driver for Linux is installed and loaded properly.
• The boot code file (x86 BootBIOS, OpenBoot or EFIBoot) has been downloaded from the
Emulex Web site and extracted to a directory on your local hard drive.
• lputil is installed properly.
Procedure
To load boot code using lputil:
1. You can use HBAnyware to determine whether the currently installed version is the most recent
(Details tab, Boot BIOS Message field). If the currently installed version is the most recent,
complete step 2 and skip to step 7. Otherwise, complete step 2 and continue with step 3.
2. Start lputil by entering the complete path. The path in the example reflects the default installation
path. If the installation path was modified, adjust the command appropriately.
/usr/sbin/lpfc/lputil
3. From the Main menu, enter 3, Firmware Maintenance.
4. From the list that appears, choose the adapter onto which you want to load boot code.
5. Enter 1, Load Firmware Image.
6. Enter the full path to the remote boot image file. The new boot code is transferred to flash ROM.
7. From the Firmware Maintenance menu, press 6, Boot BIOS Maintenance.
8. Press 1, Enable Boot BIOS, to enable the BootBIOS message. (If item 1 is Disable Boot BIOS,
the BootBIOS message is already enabled.)
9. To exit lputil, press 0 twice.
10. For OpenBoot, follow the instructions on “Create a Fibre Channel Remote Boot Disk” on
page 53.
