Firmware download to HBAs

• StorPort Miniport Driver 5-1.2A0-1h (Windows 2003 Server), Firmware 3.93A0

• FCport Driver 5-2.41a3 (Windows 2003 Server), Firmware 1.91A5, 2.70A5

• Solaris driver for Sparc systems version 6.01f and 6.11c, Firmware 3.92A2 and 3.93A0

lpfc.conf must have fdmi-on option set to 1 to turn on FDMI for the Solaris driver.

FDMI-capable HBAs must be connected to an FDMI-capable switch to get FDMI functionality.

FDMI is disabled by default on the Emulex HBA. You must enable FDMI by using either the elxcfg or

lputil tool.

ATTENTION

If a host or switch connected to an HBA is rebooted during a firmware download to that HBA, the

firmware in the HBA flash can become corrupted. The HBA will be unable to log back into the switch

or respond to a query from the switch. Both Fabric Manager and the switch cannot see the HBA and

it drops out of the Name Server list. If this occurs, use HBAnyware on the attached host and reload

the firmware on the HBA.

You must place the HBA firmware in the following directory if you want to use the built-in FTP server

provided with Fabric Manager:

<installdir>/server/server/fmserver/ftproot/HBAs

Downloading firmware to one or more HBAs

1. Log in to the switches with Fabric OS v3.1.0 (or later), Fabric OS v4.1.0 (or later), or Fabric OS

v5.0.0 (or later) already loaded and FDMI-capable HBAs connected to them. See

“Simultaneous login to multiple switches” on page 63 for additional information.

2. Select Tasks > Firmware Management > Firmware Download to HBAs.

The Firmware Download to HBAs dialog box displays (see Figure 141 on page 214).

3. Click Switch Login, if necessary.

4. In the fields on the dialog, type your user ID and password for logging into the selected

switches.

5. Click Close.

6. In the Firmware File field, type the path and name of the firmware file (in UNIX format) or click

Browse to navigate to the file.

Clicking Browse overrides the current settings for host IP address, user name, and password.

The information defaults to the current host system from which the Fabric Manager application

is executed.

7. In the Password field, type your password.
