EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment

Installing and Configuring the BIOS Settings

Verifying and updating the Emulex firmware and boot BIOS

Each Emulex Fibre Channel controller has a flash upgradable

firmware and boot BIOS. In most instances, it is necessary to keep

only the firmware up-to-date, because the BIOS is used only when

using connected storage as a boot device. The latest supported

firmware can be found on the Emulex website:

http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/framemc.htm

From this site, select the appropriate file for your adapter. The files

are typically in a

.zip file that contains different combinations of

firmware and BIOS images. Extract the downloaded file to a diskette,

and refer to

readme.txt to determine which filename image to use.

If you are planning to boot from an EMC Storage Array, you need to

use the file that includes the boot BIOS. Select the boot BIOS under

the BootBIOS/FCode link listed for your adapter.

IMPORTANT

If you are upgrading the firmware and BIOS, you must upgrade the

firmware first, because it might contain an older BIOS version,

which you can update separately later.

For instructions on updating the firmware, refer to “Updating the

Adapter and CEE/Menlo Firmware” on page 97.

Verifying the correct BIOS version

You can determine the BIOS version at boot time from the Emulex

banner or from the Emulex BIOS Utility options menu.

◆ From the banner: Boot the host and watch for the banner, as

shown in the LP11002 example in Figure 6.
