Driver for HP-UX - Configuration Section Page 15
Update Firmware
Prerequisites
• The driver for HP-UX is installed properly.
• The firmware file has been downloaded to a local drive. Firmware versions differ between
adapter versions. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate firmware for your adapter.
• If you are updating the firmware on a RISC-PA system with an LP9802DC, LP9402DC,
LP9002DC, or LP8000DC HBA in HP-UX version 11.11, you must either first install OpenBoot on
the HBA, or install a version of firmware that includes boot code (not available in all firmware
versions).
Procedure
This procedure uses the lputil utility, which is installed with the driver.
To update firmware:
1. Stop all I/O to the HBA.
2. Start the utility by entering the complete path to lputil. The path in the example reflects the
default installation path. If the installation path was modified, adjust the command appropriately.
/opt/lpfc/bin/lputil
3. From the Main menu, enter 3, Firmware Maintenance.
4. If prompted, choose the HBA that is being updated.
5. Enter 1, Load Firmware Image.
6. Enter the full path to the firmware file.
The new firmware is transferred to flash ROM.
If you are updating the firmware on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 3 through 5 to update the
firmware on the second port.
Caution: Do not update firmware while the HBA is copying or writing
files. This could result in data loss, data corruption or a
system panic.
Caution: If you are installing the driver for HP-UX with a dual channel
adapter and you update the firmware, you must use a
firmware image containing OpenBoot. Use ddc files for the
LP8000DC, cdc files for the LP9002DC, and hdc and hfc files
for the LP9802DC. Failure to load OpenBoot makes a dual
channel adapter unavailable after a system reboot.
