3.3.3 Command Line Update Tool for DOS
Using a DOS bootable floppy, users can use a FC Flash Utility called
MPTUtil to update LSI Logic adapters with new firmware (Section 3.2,
“Download New FC Firmware,” page 3-3). This section provides the
procedure for operating this program.
Note: The MPTUtil program will not operate properly from a
windows command window. It must be run from a DOS
floppy.
Running the MPTUtil Program – Use the MPTUtil program to
update the LSI Logic FC firmware on any 4 Gbit/s host adapter. Locate
the MPTUtil.exe program and FC929X.ROM code on your
distribution media, as well as the DOS4GW.exe file. Copy these files to
a blank, formatted diskette. Label it “FC Firmware diskette.”
To update the firmware, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Ensure that the host adapter is properly installed in the system
PCI slot.
Step 2. Insert the LSI Logic FC firmware diskette into drive A.
Step 3. Boot the system to the DOS prompt A:\>.
Step 4. Execute the MPTUtil program directly from the DOS command
line by typing at the prompt:
A:\ MPTutil
The MPTUtil program identifies all LSI Logic host adapters in the system,
and it allows you to select which adapter to update (Figure 3.4).
