Brocade Adapter Software Components
 Brocade Adapter Software Installer
 This package enables a single-step installation for all software
components including Host Connectivity Manager (HCM), drivers,
firmware, agent, Brocade Command Utility (BCU), and APIs.
 Driver
 A single driver package (per OS and server platform) to support all
Brocade HBAs and CNAs. The drivers will be packaged appropriately
for each operating system.
 Firmware
 The adapter firmware is bundled as part of the driver and is
automatically updated once the driver is updated.
 Multi-Boot Code Image
 A multi-boot code image (BIOS/EFI/UEFI) allows an adapter to be
plugged into a server to support boot from SAN functionality for x86,
IEM64T, AMD64, and IA64 server platforms. Server administrators
can set up a bootable LUN in the SAN through an easy- to- use
configuration utility menu.
 Driver Update Disks (DUDs)
 DUDs (provided in ISO and zip format) are required to install the
drivers during an OS installation to LUNs attached to the SAN.
 LiveCD
