FlasUTIL

The FlasUTIL utility is for offline QLogic 8100 Series Adapters installed in BIOS servers. The FlasUTIL utility performs the following tasks:

Read the multi-boot image

Write the multi-boot image

Verify the multi-boot image

Verify the NVRAM

NOTE:

FlasUTIL is a DOS utility that requires the server to boot in DOS, using either a DOS disk or a USB removable drive. Do not use the Microsoft Windows DOS interface to execute these utilities.

Some FlasUTIL features, such as the NVRAM options, are intended only for QLogic Technical Support and, therefore, are not documented in this guide.

Do not run this utility from a drive connected to the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter.

Installing FlasUTIL

To install the FlasUTIL utility:

1.Create a DOS-bootable disk or USB removable drive.

2.Download the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter multi-boot image file for your server model and operating system from http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/.

3.Extract the multi-boot image file, and copy it to the 3.5-inch disk or USB removable drive. If your disk has insufficient space, you can delete text files and .efi files from the multi-boot image before copying the folder.
