5.In the SANsurfer FC HBA window, in the FC HBAtab on the left pane, select the port under the newly installed FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters; the Informationtab in the right pane displays all the information about the new adapters.

6.In the row of tabs at the top of the right pane in the SANsurfer program window, click on the Utilitiestab. Then, in the center of the Utilities information pane you will find seven buttons: click on the Update Option ROMbutton. This will start the BIOS update. Select the appropriate BIOS file and click OK,when you are prompted to enter the file name of the new BIOS firmware.

7.When the BIOS has been updated, the Option ROM Save window displays. Click OKto save the changes.

8.Repeat Steps 5 through 7 to update the BIOS for other FC HBAs in the host server. Reboot the server if you have completed the updates; or, proceed to the “Using the SANsurfer Pro Update NVRAM Utility to update the NVRAM” section, if you want to update the adapter NVRAM.

Important: Because there is only one BIOS image per adapter, the Update Option ROM button will not be enabled when you select the second port of a dual port FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapter.

Using the SANsurfer Pro Update NVRAM Utility to update the

NVRAM

Use the Update NVRAM Utility in the SANsurfer Pro Utility program to update the adapter NVRAM firmware. The latest version of 4Gbps Fibre Channel Adapter NVRAM firmware is available from http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/ disk/. The NVRAM firmware file is a data (.dat) file; for example, nvram200.dat.

To update the NVRAM firmware, complete the following steps:

1.Make sure that the device drivers for the FC 4Gbps PCI-X Single/Dual Port HBA (PCI-X) Adapters are installed on the host containing the adapters; if the correct device drivers are not installed on the host where the adapters reside, the SANsurfer program will not list the new adapters. If the server where the SANsurfer program is installed is not the host server containing the new adapters, make sure that the SANsurfer agent is installed on the host server and that the host server’s Ethernet port is in the same IP subnet as the server where the SANsurfer program is installed.

2.Double-click the SANsurfer Pro Utility program icon to start the SANsurfer Pro Utility application.

3.When the Connect to Host window is displayed, click Connect,to connect to the preferred host.

4.A configuration wizard window displays, asking you to start the wizard. Click No,and the configuration wizard window closes.

5.In the SANsurfer FC HBA window, in the FC HBAtab on the left pane, select the port under the newly installed FC 4Gbps PCI-X Adapters; the Informationtab in the right pane displays all the information about the new adapters.

6.In the center of the Utilities information pane you will find three buttons: click on the Update NVRAMbutton.

7.You are then prompted to enter the file name for the new NVRAM firmware update.

8.Enter the file name of the NVRAM firmware update. Click OKto complete the update, or click Cancelto cancel the update.

When you click OK,the SANsurfer Pro Utility program verifies the content of the new file and updates the firmware. If the firmware update fails, an error message displays.
