#cat /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/fw_version 5.03.02 (8d4)

To display the MPI firmware version, log in as root, and type the following command:

#cat /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/mpi_version

Upgrading the Boot Code (Firmware)

You can upgrade the boot code using the QConvergeConsole or the BIOS and UEFI management utilities.

Upgrading the Boot Code Using the QConvergeConsole GUI

Updating the boot code applies to the adapter and not for individual ports. For a multi-port adapter, you can update the boot code (flash image) only through the first port.

To update boot code using the QConvergeConsole:

1.Expand the adapter port number 1, then select the FCoE port.

2.In the right pane, click the Utilities tab.
