Update Firmware
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.
Caution
If you are using lputil to update firmware on an
LP10000DC, LP10000, LP1050DC, LP1050 or LP9802DC
HBA, you must use lputil version 1.5a0 or later. For any
other HBA, you can use lputil version 1.4a4 or later.
Firmware versions differ between adapter versions. Make
sure you have downloaded the appropriate firmware for
your adapter.

Caution
Do not interrupt this process or power down the system
until the process is complete.
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.
