It can also be used as a standalone executable package. To use the package with one of IBM's update management tools, follow the instructions that came with your specific management tool. 2.1 Standalone usage instructions --------------------------------- As a standalone package, this executable can be used in the following ways: - to update the QLogic HBA FW on the local system - to copy all files necessary for the update to the local hard drive or other media Updating the local system: 1) Type "./qlgc_fw_cna_qle8142-2.02.05_linux.bin -s" at a command prompt. A successful return indicates firmware updated. Extracting files 1) Type "./qlgc_fw_cna_qle8142-2.02.05_linux.bin -x" , where is the fully qualified path where you want to extract the files, at a command prompt. Example of Included files: Q8Ixxxxx.BIN - FW/BIOS image file fcQCCCLI-exitcodes.txt - Listing of QCCCLI error/return codes Manual-Update.sh - Runs a manual FW flash without installing QCCCLI QCCCLI-Inst.sh - Installs new version of QCCCLI QCCCLI-readme.txt - QCCCLI usage instructions Uninstall-QCCCLI.sh - Uninstalls previous QCCCLI installations Update.sh - Runs the entire FW update, including uninstall/install of QCCCLI 2.2 Troubleshooting tips ------------------------ It has been found that the QCCCLI installation process is somewhat termpermental on some Linux machines. Extensive effort has been put into making the install work smoothly across all supported OS variants. Even so, it is possible that your machine may not install QCCCLI correctly, particularly if you've had this application previously installed. It is recommended that you run the automatic installation, as you would with any other update. If this results in a non-zero return code, refer to the file "fcQCCCLI-exitcodes.txt" which is included in this package. QCCCLI installation errors are usually caused by left-over pieces of an old QCCCLI version. Manually run the script "Uninstall-QCCCLI.sh" to remove these left-overs, then manually run "QCCCLI-Inst.sh" to install the new QCCCLI, or alternatively you can directly install the QCCCLI RPM (included in the package). Once QCCCLI is installed, you can either manually flash the FW/BIOS with QCCCLI (see QCCCLI-readme.txt for usage information) or you can run "Manual-Update.sh", which does the flash operation without reinstalling QCCCLI. You can also use the QCCCLI utility to view information about the HBA, including the installed FW/BIOS. Again, see the usage instructions in QCCCLI-readme.txt for more information. 3.0 Configuration information ______________________________ - None 4.0 Unattended Mode ____________________ To run this package in unattended mode, use the following command: qlgc_fw_cna_qle8142-2.02.05_linux.bin -s 5.0 Web Sites and Support Phone Number ______________________________________ o You can download new and updated files for IBM products from the IBM Support Web site: http://www.ibm.com/support/ o For the latest list of supported operating systems, see the IBM Server Proven - System x Web site: http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/eserver.html o With the original purchase of an IBM hardware product, you have access to extensive support coverage.

You can configure the adapter using Fast!UTIL. To access Fast!UTIL, press + or + during the adapter BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one adapter, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the adapter you want to configure. After changing the settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters. CAUTION! If the configuration settings are incorrect, your adapter may not function properly. Upon entering Fast!UTIL, the following selections are available from the Fast!UTIL Options menu: * Configuration Settings (section 4.1.1) * Scan Fibre Devices (section 4.1.2) * Fibre Disk Utility (section 4.1.3) * Loopback Data Test (section 4.1.4) * Select Host Adapter (section 4.1.5) * Exit Fast!UTIL (section 4.1.6) 4.1.1. Configuration Settings The following topics show and describe the configuration settings for the 8100 series adapter. * Adapter Settings (section 4.1.1.1) * Selectable Boot Settings (section 4.1.1.2) * Restore Default Settings (section 4.1.1.3) * Raw NVRAM Data (section 4.1.1.4) * Advanced Adapter Settings (section 4.1.1.5) 4.1.1.1. Adapter Settings * Host Adapter BIOS (Enabled/Disabled: Default - Disabled) Disabling this setting disables the ROM BIOS on the adapter, which frees space in upper memory. If you are booting from an FC disk drive attached to the adapter, you must enable this setting. For details, see section 4.1.1.2. * Frame Size (512/1024/2048: Default - 2048) This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported by the adapter. * Loop Reset Delay (0 - 60 seconds: Default - 5 seconds) After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from initiating any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this setting. * Spin Up Delay (Enabled/Disabled: Default - Disabled) When this bit is set, the BIOS waits up to two minutes to find the first drive. * Fibre Channel Tape Support (Enabled/Disabled: Default - Enabled) This setting enables FCP-2 recovery. 4.1.1.2. Selectable Boot Settings The Configuration Settings menus provide access to the Selectable Boot Settings option. If you enable the Adapter BIOS in the Adapter Settings, this option allows you to select the boot device as follows: Selectable Boot Port Name Boot /LUN Device Boot ---------- -------------- ----------- Disabled X BIOS configures the first disk drive it finds as boot device. Enabled none specified BIOS configures the first disk drive it finds that is also a LUN 0 as boot device. Enabled specified BIOS scans through the specified WWPN/LUN list until it Boot drive. This finds a disk configured as the boot device. This option allows you to specify up to four WWPN/LUN as boot devices. To enable the Selectable Boot option and insert devices into the boot device locations, follow these steps: 1. From the Configuration Settings menu, select Adapter Settings. 2. Enable the adapter BIOS, then press ESC to return to the Configuration Settings menu. 3. From the Configuration Settings menu, select Selectable Boot Settings. 4. Press ENTER to enable or disable (toggle) the Selectable Boot option. Use the down arrow key to move to the Primary location of the Selectable Boot List menu. 5. Press ENTER to see a list of accessible devices (in the Select Fibre Channel Device menu). 6. Select a drive using the arrow keys to scroll down to the device you want to put into your Selectable Boot menu list, then press ENTER to select the requested device and load it into the Selectable Boot menu list. 7. Repeat this step to specify a secondary boot device on the Qxx81xx adapter or up to four alternate boot devices. NOTES: System BIOS Compatibility In a computer system with a multi-boot system BIOS (CMOS), in order to boot from a device connect to the adapter, the adapter must be included in the list of bootable devices in the system's Boot menu. Solaris X86 Boot from a SAN To boot from an FC drive connected to a 8100 series adapter, reboot the system and enter Fast!UTIL. Enter into the Selectable boot menu, enable selectable boot and insert the BOOT drive in the Primary location of the Selectable Boot menu prior to performing the OS (Solaris X86) installation. For these BOOT from SAN configurations, the Solaris x86 QLC driver supports booting from the Primary location only. The driver will not attempt to boot from the Alternate 1, Alternate 2, and Alternate 3 entries. 4.1.1.3 Restore Default Settings The Restore Defaults option from the Configuration Settings menu restores the BIOS settings back to default. 4.1.1.4 Raw NVRAM Data This option displays the adapter’s NVRAM contents in hexadecimal format for read-only troubleshooting purposes. 4.1.1.5 Advanced Adapter Settings From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Advanced Adapter Settings. The following paragraphs describe the default settings for the 8100 series adapter. * Execution Throttle (1-65535: Default - 65535) This setting specifies the maximum number of commands executing on any one target port. After reaching a target port’s execution throttle, it stops issuing new commands until one of the current commands finishes executing. * LUNs per Target (0/8/16/32/64/128/256: Default - 128) This setting specifies the number of LUNs supported per target if the target does not support the "Report LUNs" command. Multiple LUN support typically applies to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) boxes that use LUNs to map drives. * Enable Target Reset (Yes/No: Default - Yes) This setting enables the drivers to issue a Target Reset command to all devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command is issued. * Login Retry Count (0 - 255: Default - 8) This setting specifies the number of times the software tries to log in to a device. * Port Down Retry Count (0 - 255 seconds: Default - 30 seconds) This setting specifies the number of seconds the software waits to retry a command to a port returning port down status. * Link Down Timeout (0 - 255 seconds: Default - 30 seconds) This setting specifies the number of seconds the software waits for a link down to come up. * Operation Mode (0/5/6: Default - 0) This setting specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO) modes, if supported by the software driver. The RIO modes allow posting multiple command completions in a single interrupt. This option supports the following modes: 0 - Interrupt for every I/O completion 5 - Interrupt when Interrupt Delay Timer expires 6 - Interrupt when Interrupt Delay Timer expires or no active I/Os * Interrupt Delay Timer (0 - 255 seconds: Default - 0) This setting contains the value (in 200-microsecond increments) that a timer uses to set the wait time between generating an interrupt. * EV Controller Order (Enable/Disabled: Default - Disabled) * LR Enable: (Enable/Disabled: Default - Disabled) This setting enables/disable long range SFP. * Primary FCF VLAN ID: (Enabled/Disabled: Default - Disabled) This setting enables the primary VLAN ID to be used. 4.1.2. Scan Fibre Devices This option scans the FC loop and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. It lists information about each device (for example, vendor name, product name, and revision). This information helps when configuring your adapter and attached devices. 4.1.3. Fibre Disk Utility This option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. You can select a Fibre Channel hard disk and do one of the following tests: * Verify Disk Media * Verify Disk Data (Some targets do not support this feature.) * Low-Level Format * Select Different Disk CAUTION! Performing a low-level format destroys all data on the disk. 4.1.4. Loopback Data Test This option allows you to perform an external Loopback test. NOTE: When running the external Loopback data test, make sure that the Loopback connector is attached to the adapter port(s) before starting the test. Do not run this test with the adapter connected to the fabric switch port. 4.1.5. Select Host Adapter If you have a multi-port or multiple 8100 series adapters in your system, use this option to select and then configure or view the settings of a specific adapter port or adapter. 4.1.6. Exit Fast!UTIL This option allows you to exit the utility and reboot the system or to return to Fast!UTIL. After making changes to the adapter in Fast!UTIL, make sure you save the changes before you reboot the system. 4.2 Updating the BIOS (FLASUTIL) FLASUTIL is a native DOS utility. To run this utility, boot to a DOS hard drive or USB removable drive. 4.2.1. Flashing the BIOS To flash the BIOS: 1. Insert the 8100 series adapter in the system. 2. Boot to DOS. 3. Run the update script at the command prompt: C:\>update.bat This script program updates the BIOS image on the adapter. 4. Reboot the system. NOTES: You can also use the QCC GUI/CLI to flash the multi-boot image. After the multi-boot code is updated, power recycle the server for the new changes to take effect. 4.2.2. FLASUTIL Command Line Options The executable file FLASUTIL.EXE is used by the UPDATE.BAT file to update your adapter BIOS. The application FLASUTIL.EXE may be used to read, write or verify the multi-boot image, or the NVRAM on the adapter.

Diagnostic Commands -------------------------- This section contains: * 4.2.3.1 Version command * 4.2.3.2 Selftest * 4.2.3.3 ext-loopback-test command * 4.2.3.4 Show-children command * 4.2.3.5 show-fcfs command (FCoE CNAs only) * 4.2.3.6 disk-test command To execute any of the diagnostic commands, first select the device as described in section 4.2.1, above. Then enter the command. 4.2.3.1. Version command ------------------------ To display the current FCode and Firmware version, simply type "version". Example: ok 0 > version QLogic QMIxxxx Host Adapter FCode(IBM): X Y Firmware version Z ok 0 > NOTE: Where X = FCode Version,Y = Date of FCode version release and Z = Firmware version xxxx = Model number 4.2.3.3. Selftest ----------------- Note: It is recommended using a Loopback plug. This will insure that the external loopback test will be executed. To execute selftest, simply enter "selftest .". Example: ok 0 > selftest . nvram ok FCode Checksum OK Testing memory, pattern 0 - PASS Testing memory, pattern ffffffff - Passed Testing memory, pattern 55aa5555 - Passed Testing memory, pattern aaaa55aa - Passed Testing memory, pattern a55aa55a - Passed Testing memory, pattern 5b5a5a6a - Passed Testing memory, pattern ff00f0f0 - Passed Testing memory, pattern 1ff00f0e - Passed 10-bit Internal Loopback Test - Passed 1-bit Internal Loopback Test - Passed ok 0 > 4.2.3.4. ext-loopback-test command ----------------------------------- The ext-loopback-test method allows the user to manually execute the external looback test. Selftest will skip this test if the HBA device is attached to a Switch. The Diag Echo command is used instead of the loopback command if the topology is either F-port or FL-port (i.e. a Switch). The Diag Echo command is not supported by all FC Switches. Therefore, it is skipped during Selftest. Example: ext-looback-test Switch Diag Echo Loopback Test - Passed ok 0 > 4.2.3.5. show-children command ------------------------------- Example: ok 0 > show-children 0 > show-children Adapter portID - 10d00 ************** Fabric Attached Devices ************** Dev# 0(0) PortID 10f9b Port WWN 21000011c6811815 LUN 0 DISK SEAGATE ST336854FC 0005 Dev# 1(1) PortID 10f9d Port WWN 21000011c6811456 LUN 0 DISK SEAGATE ST336854FC 0005 ok 0 > 4.2.3.6. show-fcfs command (FCoE CNAs only) -------------------------------------------------------------- The show-fcfs command will show all FCFs currently attached to the CNA. Example: {0} ok show-fcfs FCF# 0 FCF VLAN-ID: 3ea FCF-MAC=000deca41dc0 FCF Ad FC-MAP= efc00 FCF Switch-Name=2001000deca41dc1 FCF Fabric-Name=100000c0dd09988f Common Features=3300 R_A_TOV=2710(10000) E_D_TOV=7d0(2000) 4.2.3.7. disk-test command --------------------------- The disk-test was added as a diagnostic tool to allow the user to perform as simple, non-destructive, read/write data test to a selected target. To execute disk-test, follow these steps, below. 1. Select the HBA device as described in section 3, above. 2. Execute show-children Pick a target (Dev#) and LUN from the listed devices. 3. Login to the target by typing: " sel-dev" Example: 7 sel-dev (will login to Dev# 7) 4. Select a LUN. by typing: " sel-lun" Example: 4d sel-lun (will select LUN 4d, hex) Note: You may skip this step if the LUN # =0, which is the default. 5. Execute disk-test by typing "disk-test". disk-test will perform a read-write-read-compare test to the selected target, 64 blocks (32k bytes) at a time. While it is running it will display the current disk block address. The test can be terminated by pressing any key. The disk-test command can also be used to locate a particular target, if there is an activity LED on the target. 5.
