QLogic Adapter Flash Update—Linux

Flash Update Procedure

To update the Linux OS Flash:

1.Ensure that the steps required for installing the RPM source, creating the binary, and installing the binary to the file system have been performed. If not, follow the instructions in “QLogic Adapter Driver Installation (RPM Format)” on page 8-5before proceeding. The new driver is now ready to be loaded automatically the next time the system is powered up.

2.Update the Flash.

a.Type the following command to go to the appropriate directory:

%cd/opt/netxen

b.Type the following command to display a list of all the QLogic devices:

./nxflash --list

Note the function number for the QLogic adapter.

c.Type the following command to start the Flash update; use the function number from the previous step in the -ioption:

%./nxflash -i [n] --all

The Flash update takes a few minutes to complete and must not be interrupted. Note that you only need to update one port on each QLogic adapter; updates do not need to be performed on a per-port basis.

As an example, the --listcommand displays one of the following two devices in an SFP+ installation. For copper -based installations, additional devices will be shown:

[0]NetXen Dual Port SFP+ 10GbE Server Adapter [PCI slot 17 function 0]

[1]NetXen Dual Port SFP+ 10GbE Server Adapter [PCI slot 17 function 1]

3.Get Flash related information. Use the --infooption to get information about the Flash by typing:

% ./nxflash -i [n] --info
