EMC Host Connectivity with Emulex FC HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the BIOS Settings
Method Three – Using lputil at the command line (for the Emulex
7.x driver)
This section discusses how to update the firmware and boot BIOS,
using the lputil utility.
Updating the HBA firmware with lputil
The lputil is dependent upon the existence of the Emulex driver.
Therefore, the operating system and the Emulex driver must be
installed prior to using the
lputil. The lputil is included in the
Emulex Application Kit along with the HBA API and HBAnyware.
Download the Emulex Application Kit from the EMC-approved
section of the Emulex website. Follow the steps below to upgrade the
flash firmware using the
lputil.
To update the firmware on the HBAs:
1. Copy the appropriate firmware file from the CD-ROM or the
EMC-approved section of the Emulex website to the appropriate
directory,
/usr/sbin/lpfc.
The following table lists the HBA models and the name of the
corresponding firmware files.
