1.Insert the HP IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the drive and boot to the EFI Shell.

NOTE: You can also download the firmware image file and update utility from the HP

Web site at: http://www.hp.com in the Driver Downloads section.

IMPORTANT: When you boot the EFI enabled systems, the CD containing the utility must be in the drive to allow device mapping. The EFI utility and firmware image files are located in the root directory or in a subdirectory on the CD.

2.The CD drive displays in the list of mapped devices as fs0. To change to this device, enter fs0:

shell> fs0: fs0:\>

3.To determine the current version of the firmware, follow these steps.

a.At the EFI Shell, enter mptutil from the directory that contains mptutil.efi. The following example indicates that the EFI Serial Attached SCSI card utility version is 1.01.12.00:

fs0:\EFI\HP\TOOLS\NETWORK> mptutil

MPTUTIL-1.01.12.00

The following sections describe the mptutil commands and functions.

Flashing Firmware on First Controller

To update the HBA RISC firmware on the first controller, follow these steps:

1.At the fsO:\> prompt, enter mptutil -f <firmware_file> -c 0.

2.At the fsO:\> prompt, enter reset.

The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if omitted.

Another way for the firmware to be flashed is done without your knowledge. When mptutil is executed, and a SAS HBA is in any state other than ready or operational, mptutil immediately performs a firmware download boot. The firmware provided by you to do the firmware download boot is immediately flashed after the firmware download boot has completed. mptutil does this because the firmware only moves to the operational state if it is running from flash and not memory. Operational state is needed to do everything else provided in the utility.
