Emulex LP1150-F4 user manual Updating Firmware Batch Mode

Updating Firmware (Batch Mode)

Loading firmware in batch mode differs from its non-batch counterpart in that it enables you to install firmware on multiple HBAs in a single step. Batch firmware loading is restricted to a single firmware file and to all accessible HBAs for which that file is compatible.

Note: Stop other HBAnyware utility functions while batch loading is in progress.

Prerequisites

•The firmware file has been downloaded from the Emulex Web site and extracted to the Emulex Repository folder (RMRepository). This folder is in /usr/sbin/HBAnyware/RMRepository.

Procedure

To batch load firmware using the HBAnyware utility:

1.Start the HBAnyware utility.

2.From the menu bar, select Batch and click Download Firmware.

Note: You do not need to select a particular tree element for this operation.

3.When the Batch Firmware File dialog box appears, browse to locate and select the firmware file to download. Click Open.

4.A tree-view appears showing all HBAs and their corresponding hosts for which the selected firmware file is compatible.

5.Check boxes next to the host and HBA entries are used to select or deselect an entry. Checking an HBA selects or removes that HBA; checking a host removes or selects all eligible HBAs for that host.
