Use IBAUtil to enable or disable WOL or Boot Agent features. To obtain this utility download the HP ProLiant Networking SoftPaq as described in "Downloading files (on page 9)" and navigate to the APPS\BOOTAGNT\N100X directory.

Wake-On-LAN. When enabled, the adapter can react to special "wake up" packets and power up the computer without end user intervention. However, there is a higher power draw when the system is in the suspended state when this is enabled. It is strongly recommended that no more than two adapters should have this feature enabled per computer.

Intel Boot Agent. When enabled, the computer can initiate PXE/RPL boot if a valid flash image is present on the adapter.

Running IBAUtil in DOS

IBAUtil (for DOS) must be run with the computer booted to DOS only. This utility cannot be run in a DOS window in any Microsoft® Windows® product or in DOS compatibility mode in IBM OS/2.

The syntax for issuing IBAUtil command line parameters in DOS is:

IBAUTIL [-option]...

DOS command line parameters

IBAUtil accepts up to 16 simultaneous parameters and does not perform both operations if orthogonal parameters (like the commands -FLASHENABLE -FLASHDISABLE used together) are supplied. If opposing parameters are specified, IBAUtil exits with an error.

The parameters are grouped with their orthogonal pairs, where applicable. -HELP, -EXITCODES and - IMAGEVERSION have special overriding characteristics. Unless noted, all other parameters may be used in conjunction with all other parameters.

If you enter IBAUTIL without any command line options, the utility displays a listing of all of the Intel® network adapters found in your system.

Valid parameters are listed below. All other parameters generate an error.

Parameter

Description

 

 

-HELP or -?

Displays command line help and exits. When -HELP is set, all other

 

parameters are ignored.

 

 

-EXITCODES

Displays exit code help. When -EXITCODES are set, all other

 

parameters except -HELP are ignored.

 

 

-IMAGEVERSION or -IV

Displays the PXE versions stored within the IBAUtil. When -

 

IMAGEVERSION is set, all other parameters except -EXITCODES

 

and -HELP are ignored.

 

 

Adapter Selection Options

 

 

 

-ALL

Selects all adapters found in system, works for both EEPROM and

 

Flash activity.

 

 

-NIC=XX

Selects a specific adapter (1–16).

 

 

-BLINK

Blinks the LED on the selected adapter for 10 seconds to provide a

 

method for identifying an adapter.

 

 

Flash Programming Options

 

 

 

-AUTO or -QUIET

Runs IBAUtil without asking for user intervention. It does NOT

 

create a backup image. This parameter must be used with -NIC or

 

-ALL if there is more than one adapter in the system. It runs without -

 

ALL or -NIC=xx if there is only one adapter in the system.
