Update Firmware
Prerequisites
● The driver for HP-UX is installed properly.
● The firmware file has been downloaded to a local drive. Firmware versions differ
between adapter versions. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate
firmware for your adapter.
● If you are updating the firmware on a RISC-PA system with an LP9802DC,
LP9402DC, LP9002DC, or LP8000DC HBA in HP-UX version 11.11, you must
either first install OpenBoot on the HBA, or install a version of firmware that
includes boot code (not available in all firmware versions).
Load Firmware
This procedure uses the lputil utility, which is installed with the driver.
Caution
If you are installing the driver for HP-UX with a dual
channel adapter and update the firmware, you must use
a firmware image containing OpenBoot. Use ddc files for
the LP8000DC, cdc files for the LP9002DC, and hdc and
hfc files for the LP9802DC. Failure to load OpenBoot will
make the dual channel adapter unavailable after a
system reboot.
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.
/opt/lpfc/bin/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 the firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 3 through 5 to
update the firmware on the second port.
