Before you can perform a batch update, the firmware file must be downloaded from the Emulex website
and extracted to a directory on your local drive.
To update firmware for multiple adapters:
1. From the Batch menu, select Download Firmware.
2. When the Batch Firmware Download dialog box appears, click Browse.
3. The Firmware File Selection dialog box appears. Select the file you want to use and click OK. A
dialog box appears notifying you that the OneCommand Manager application is searching for
compatible adapters.
Once compatible adapters are found, the “Firmware File” text area of the main Batch Download
dialog displays the selected image file's path. The “Supported Models” text field displays a list of
all adapter models that are compatible with the selected image file. The set of compatible adapt-
ers appears in the dialog box’s discovery-tree.
Using the Display Options settings you can choose how adapters are displayed in the discovery-
tree. Clicking Group by Host displays adapters in a host-centric view. Clicking Group by Fab-
ric shows hosts in a fabric-centric view with their fabric addresses. The WWPN and host name
for each downloadable port is displayed under its respective fabric.
You can also display host groups by checking Show Host Groups. To display a particular host
group, choose that group from the Host Group menu.
Checkboxes next to the host and adapter entries are used to select or deselect an entry. Check-
ing an adapter selects or removes that adapter; checking a host removes or selects all eligible
adapters for that host.
For adapters where each individual port can have new firmware downloaded, you can select the
ports on the adapter to which you want to download firmware.
Note: VMware ESX hosts managed through the CIM interface will list all the adapters
regardless of whether the selected firmware can update the adapter. You must
manually deselect the non-matching adapters.
Note: You do not need to select a particular tree element for this operation.
