Q-Logic 8100 SERIES manual Offline Utilities

9 Offline Utilities

Overview

QLogic provides offline adapter configuration and Flash programming utilities with the adapter multi-boot code for advanced users. The following utilities are available for adapters installed in both BIOS and UEFI servers:

Fast!UTIL

EFICFG

FlasUTIL

EFIUTIL

The Fast!UTIL and EFICFG configuration utilities enable advanced users to customize the configuration of the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter and connected Fibre Channel devices. Fast!UTIL is for adapters installed in BIOS-based severs, and the EFICFG utility is for adapters installed in UEFI servers.

CAUTION!

The Fast!UTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are only for advanced users. If the configuration settings are incorrect, the adapter may become inoperable. Do not change the configuration settings from the default values, unless instructed to do so by QLogic Technical Support or by QLogic documentation. The default adapter settings are designed for a typical Microsoft Windows installation and generally do not require changes.

The FlasUTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are for advanced users primarily to update the multi-boot image (including firmware) on QLogic 8100 Series Adapters. These utilities can also display BIOS/UEFI version information, perform advanced debugging, and collect support information. The FlasUTIL utility is for BIOS servers, and the EFIUTIL utility is for UEFI servers.

CAUTION!

The FlasUTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are only for advanced users. Use caution when making changes with these utilities—mistakes are not easily reversed.
