HP Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility

The HP Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapter Firmware Upgrade Utility supports the following adapters.

NC37xx

NC380x

The utility runs under DOS from a bootable diskette or USB drive. To install, copy all files and folders to a bootable diskette or USB drive. See "Downloading files (on page 9)."

Three commands are provided with the utility.

INSISCSI, which installs or upgrades the iSCSI boot option ROM. This command upgrades the iSCSI boot option ROM if the iSCSI boot option ROM is already installed and its version is out of date.

This command also installs the iSCSI boot option ROM to replace the PXE option ROM for NC37xT, NC37xF, and NC380T adapters.

INSPXE, which installs or upgrades the PXE option ROM. This command upgrades the PXE option ROM if the PXE option ROM is already installed and its version is out of date.

This command also installs the PXE option ROM to replace the iSCSI boot option ROM for NC37xT, NC37xF, and NC380T adapters.

NICFWUPG, which upgrades iSCSI boot option ROM, PXE option ROM, and Boot Code. This command upgrades the firmware components that are currently installed if they are out of date.

These commands run interactively by default. For each adapter, the current version and new version of each firmware component is compared. If the installed version is older, you are prompted to accept the upgrade by answering Y, or reject the upgrade with N.

Using the -S option the user can optionally select the non-interactive mode, which causes the firmware to automatically update if the installed version is out of date.

Output

The output is saved in a file named nic_fw\fwupglog.txt.
