(1) BIOS downloading
The adapter boot BIOS image has increased in size to 48K. As a result, it might
fail during the downloading of the BIOS .prg file. One way to correct the
problem is to download the firmware .AWC or file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: cd393a0.awc) and then download the adapter boot BIOS .PRG file.
Firmware where only .ALL files are available contain firmware only, so the above
precautions do not apply.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)
If the adapter boot BIOS is not enabled by DOSLPCFG, LP6DUTIL or an Emulex O.S.
configuration utility, the adapter and the drives connected to the adapter
cannot not be configured to be used to boot the system. In addition if there is
a "No BIOS support" message displayed next to this adapter in the adapter BIOS

Observations
Platform: Intel (32-bit) The adapter boot BIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13
system BIOS calls. The adapter Boot BIOS supports:
(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop
topologies.
(2) Multi-initiators: The adapter BIOS supports up to 32 Emulex LightPulse
adapters in a system.
(3) Multi-LUNs: The adapter BIOS supports up to 256 LUNs.
(4) Multi-boot: The adapter BIOS complies with the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): The adapter BIOS supports both the
EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1 specifications depending on the selection in the
adapter BIOS configuration utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: There are eight boot entries that can be
configured in the adapter BIOS configuration utility. If the first boot
entry fails the system is still able to boot from the second configured
boot entry and so on.

***** Important Note ******
(1) BIOS downloading
The adapter boot BIOS image has increased in size to 49K. As a result, it might
fail during the downloading of the BIOS .prg file. One way to correct the
problem is to download the firmware .AWC file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: dd390a7.awc) and then download the adapter boot BIOS .prg file.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)
If the adapter boot BIOS is not enabled by LP6DUTIL or an Emulex O.S.
configuration utility, the adapter and the drives connected to the adapter
cannot not be configured to be used to boot the system. In addition if there is
a "No BIOS support" message displayed next to this adapter in the adapter BIOS
configuration utility the user must use LP6DUTIL or other Emulex O.S.
configuration utility to enable the adapter boot BIOS in order to allow this adapter
to be used a bootable controller by the host system.

--------------- NOTES and CAUTIONS ---------------------
** Ensure that critical files on local boot disk are backed up
as a measure of protection.
(1) This procedure assumes there is already a 'local' boot disk.
(2) The size of the intended (target) fibre channel disk should
be big enough to hold all the file systems, and swap slice
of the local current boot disk.
(3) As there will probably be more than one logical disk drive on
the fibre channel adapter it will be necessary to use persistent
binding ('nailing' a specific scsi id to a specific wwpn or did).
(4) It will be necessary to correlate the intended boot disk displayed
by the 'probe-scsi-all' command to the devices displayed by the
operating system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.50a9 ------------------------
1. In some special array, Fcode in loop mode display incorrect LUNs on
show-children or probe-scsi-all command. The new fix takes care this
issue by adding the SCSI inquiry command before calling the show-luns
command in show-children, and set the numbers of retry on busy status
to limits of 10 times. (CR20261)
2. If the search eVPD data (V2) is located near at the end of 108 bytes in
the VPD field, thus sometimes can cause fails to display the whole string
of eVPD (V2) data. To fix this display VPD data on V2 field issue, the
new fix changed the VPD dumped entry index to 20*n bytes, and change
the VPD search area to 28 bytes, this can cover the whole maximum length
of 80 bytes on V2 data field. (CR20262)
3. Fcode fails to issue a retry command with a check condition if the sense
data returning a response code 71h (deffered errors). The new fix added
support deferred error (71h & 73h) and current error (72h) on sense data
returned to returning check condition status, this will continue apply retry
command. (CR20264)
4. In some blade server, after "scan", Fcode issue a "unmap-regs" at "close",
then re-open again to "check" the FC device for setting up the FC targets
into the SMS boot menu, somehow the re-maping FC device into the
system virtual address spaces function is not working properly, and
cause the system not able to recognize any FC devices during "check".
The new fix removed the "unmap-regs" call at the "close", and system can
continue complete setup the FC targets into the boot menu, and this special
condition only apply to some systems only. (CR19585)

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 3.00a2 ------------------------
1. Fixed the issue if the len size of the decode-unit on device path /fp
is large than 2 digits, the decode-unit is fails to convert text
unit-string, and cause system is not bootable, and boot command
disabled. (CR25215)
2. Fixed the issue on some systems the probe-scsi-all command fails
if the HBA has no link. (CR25036)
3. In PCI Configuration Register there is a bit to control the HBA
bus master capability (BME). In dual channel HBA when one of the
Bus Master Enable bit is cleared can cause other channel HBA DMA
to be stuck, and cause system hangs or failure during the boot
time. This release takes care this issue by set the BME bit on
forever. (CR24911)(CR25005)
4. If there is some unsolicited frame coming from the switch or service
provider, and the Boot code is not configure to response the FC-CT
Unsolicited, this can cause the system hangs during boot or scan targets.
In order not to sent any FC-CT request, the new release removed the
mailbox config_ring command. (CR25233)
5. Changed the display format on Fcode version number in .properties screen
from ASCII to Hex for IBM machine. (CR25617)
6. Update the copyright date from .properties command. (CR24936)

speed now can support up to 4 Gigabaud, and the default link speed
is Auto Select. (CR16047)
2. Added the new Fcode Diag Switch feature that uses the command
"set-fdiag-switch" to turn the diag switch on/off. If the Diag
switch is on, the detail debug error message will be print out
during POST or boot time if there is any link/boot failure.(CR16048)
3. Bug fixed where HBA did not retry under a LOGO response and caused
fabric boot failure. (CR15707)
4. Bug fixed where HBA did not retry the START/STOP command on a SCSI
Queue Full response and caused fabric boot failure. The new number
of retries for Queue Full is up to 10 times and then give up.(CR16049)
5. Changed the new number of retry condition for SCSI Busy to retry

--------------- NOTES and CAUTIONS ---------------------
** Ensure that critical files on local boot disk are backed up
as a measure of protection.
(1) This procedure assumes there is already a 'local' boot disk.
(2) The size of the intended (target) fibre channel disk should
be big enough to hold all the file systems, and swap slice
of the local current boot disk.
(3) As there will probably be more than one logical disk drive on
the fibre channel adapter it will be necessary to use persistent
binding ('nailing' a specific scsi id to a specific wwpn or did).
(4) It will be necessary to correlate the intended boot disk displayed
by the 'probe-scsi-all' command to the devices displayed by the
operating system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.50a8 ------------------------
1. The PCI device ID for Lpe11000 in make file wasn't a correct value,
and cause probe process does not find the Fcode image during POST.
The new release fixed this issue by update the correct PCI device
ID in make file. (CR18053)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.50a7 ------------------------
1. The command of report-luns is not setup as external variable in
FCode, this caused the system fail to compile the report-luns into
the RAM during the boot time, and result a boot failure. The new
fix has setup the report-luns as external variable. (CR17926)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.50a6 ------------------------
1. Added the Report LUN before Test Unit Ready command. (CR17835)
2. Added 60ms delay after PRLI and before the first Report Luns command
is sent out. (CR17836)
3. Changed the FCP Port Completion Timeout to 90 seconds for Start/Stop Unit
command, and others for 30 seconds timeout. (CR17837)
4. Fixed the bug on system hangs during "probe-scsi-all", because the timeout
for FCP completion was greater FCP Response. The new fix will be increased
FCP Response Timeout to 100 seconds for Start/Stop Unit command, and others
for 40 seconds timeout. (CR17838)
5. Fixed the bug for mishandle the return value of TUR when FC cable was not
connect properly during boot time and result an error message of
"STACK UNDERFLOW" issue. (CR17839)

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 3.01a1 ------------------------
1. Some variable in the scsidisk file was create as local variable, and
cause system fail to boot with "Last Trap: Illegal Instruction" error
message. The new fixed by change some variables to external variable
instead of local variable. (CR27598)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 3.01a0 ------------------------
1. Support 8Gb/s HBA.
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 3.00a2 ------------------------
1. Fixed the issue if the len size of the decode-unit on device path /fp
is large than 2 digits, the decode-unit is fails to convert text
unit-string, and cause system is not bootable, and boot command
disabled. (CR25215)
2. Fixed the issue on some systems the probe-scsi-all command fails
if the HBA has no link. (CR25036)
3. In PCI Configuration Register there is a bit to control the HBA
bus master capability (BME). In dual channel HBA when one of the
Bus Master Enable bit is cleared can cause other channel HBA DMA
to be stuck, and cause system hangs or failure during the boot
time. This release takes care this issue by set the BME bit on
forever. (CR24911)(CR25005)
4. If there is some unsolicited frame coming from the switch or service
provider, and the Boot code is not configure to response the FC-CT
Unsolicited, this can cause the system hangs during boot or scan targets.
In order not to sent any FC-CT request, the new release removed the
mailbox config_ring command. (CR25233)

----- Changes between 2.70a5 and previous releases ----
With VNP enabled and no registered VNPs, firmware will now function
as if VNPs are not enabled. (CR 23132)
Port number generation for virtual ports has been corrected.
(CR 23051, 23131)
Corrected handling of AHB parity errors. (CR 23049, 23050)
A timeout is prevented by allowing the firmware to process fatal DMA
engine errors even if the DMA is not complete, such as during a PCI
master abort. (CR 22563)
The R_A_TOV field is now properly expressed in milliseconds. (CR 22562)
Any attentions pending during link down are now sent. (CR 22510)
Firmware now seperates BDL DMA requests so that one is stopped before
another is started. (CR 22162, 22179)
QDR memory POST was modified to establish proper ECC and prevent false
memory read errors. (CR 22519, 22520)
Corrected processing of BDL with unexpected offset to properly handle
incoming data frame. (CR 22564)
Incorporated new Emulex SLI-3 protocol. (CR 20834, 20843)
SLI-3 coding inconsistencies were found during in-house test with no
reported instances of failure.
- Proper wakeup parameters have been generated (CR 21597)
- Mailbox response interlock correction (CR 22051)
- READ_REV command had to be corrected (CR 22067, 22114)
- Corrected data abort by assuring all data structures
are initialized to zero before allocation. (CR 22513)
Allow VPD offset to be outside of specification for greater flexibility
with some systems. (CR 21548)
Corrected PCI configuration to advertise VPD access for Zephyr 1.1 ASICs.
(CR 21391)
Protocol testing with invalid conditions revealed protocol response
errors which have had no reported instances of failure in the field.
(CR 17199, 17200, 17203, 20788)
An I/O timeout during tape operation was eliminated by delaying
processing of any FCP2 errors during discovery. (CR 18287)
Improved DMA error handling of split errors where host memory has been
made unavailable. (CR 19348)
Improved the dynamic coalescing algorithm for better auto-tuning
performance. (CR 20208)
The HBA no longer transmits RRDY during buffer clean-up before FLOGI
is sent. Transmitting RRDY during this time is allowed and does not
cause any error, but was seen by lab analysis and was regarded as
undesirable behavior. (CR 18341, 18342)
A DMA attempt and error immediately after unconfiguring memory no longer
causes the HBA to ignore further commands. (CR 19349)
Improved management of unavailable memory by limiting the number of
retries. The HBA now reports an error attention after retries have
been exhausted. (CR 19351)

SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (SP1 or higher)
1.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 'kernel-devel' Package Requirement
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, the -devel package
which matches the kernel package with the same version as the
currently running kernel must be installed for the LPFC driver
build to succeed. For example, a system with the 2.6.18-7 kernel
would need the kernel-devel-2.6.18-7 package.
1.2 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement
For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server installations, the kernel-source
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC driver build to succeed. For example, a
system with the 2.6.16.46-0.7-bigsmp kernel would need the
kernel-source-2.6.16.46-0.7 package.

1.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 'kernel-devel' Package Requirement
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, the kernel development
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC 8.0 driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.9-22.EL kernel would need the

build to succeed. For example, a system with the 2.6.18-7 kernel
would need the kernel-devel-2.6.18-7 package.
2. Description of Install Procedure
The lpfc-install script installs the LPFC driver RPM. This RPM
installs the driver sources to the /usr/src/lpfc directory, builds
the driver for the currently running kernel, and then installs the
driver to the proper directory for the currently running kernel.
Once the RPM is installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the 'lpfc' driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.
3. Known Issues
3.1 PCI Hot Plug Support for applications
3.1.1 Observed problem
PCI Hot Plug has been found to cause applications (HBAnyware utilities or
third party applications) that use the Emulex libraries (i.e. HBAAPI), to
misbehave or malfunction.
3.1.2 Workaround
A user should stop all applications that are accessing LPFC's HBAAPI
interface (HBAnyware utilities or third party applications) before
performing PCI Hot Plug of an LPFC HBA.
Use the following command to stop the HBAnyware application:
#/usr/sbin/hbanyware/stop_hbanyware
After performing PCI Hot Plug of the HBA you can restart the applications.

2. Description of Install Procedure
The lpfc-install script installs both the LPFC driver and the LPFC
DFC driver RPMs. These RPMs install their driver sources to the
/usr/src/lpfc directory, build their drivers for the currently
running kernel, and then install the drivers to the proper
directory for the currently running kernel.
Once the RPMs are installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the 'lpfc' driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.
The 'elxlpfc' init script is also installed and configured to start
and stop the 'lpfcdfc' driver during system startup and shutdown.
3. Release Notes
3.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 'kernel-devel' Package Requirement
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, the kernel development
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC 8.0 driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.9-5.EL kernel would need the
kernel-devel-2.6.9-5.EL package, and a system with the
2.6.9-5.ELsmp kernel would need the kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-5.EL
package.
3.2 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement
For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server installations, the kernel-source
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC 8.0 driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.5-7.139-bigsmp kernel would need the
kernel-source-2.6.5-7.139 package.

Storport Miniport Driver
Qualification: Microsoft currently does not offer an FCoE WHQL "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport Miniport driver is used with a standard Fibre Channel HBA, the driver is qualified for the "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport MiniPort driver is used with an FCoE CNA, the driver is considered "unclassified" by Microsoft. In both cases, the Storport Miniport drivers are digitally signed by Microsoft and will be recognized by both Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Note For Windows Server 2003, SP2 and the KB932755 update to the Microsoft Storport driver are required. KB945119 is recommended. The Storport KB update must be applied before the Emulex Storport Miniport driver can be installed.
AutoPilot Installer for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008
Introduction
AutoPilot Installer® for Emulex® drivers provides installation options that range from a simple installation
with a few mouse clicks to custom unattended installations using predefined script files.
AutoPilot Installer is included with Emulex drivers and utilities in Windows executable files that can be
downloaded from the Emulex Web site. Run the distribution executable file to extract all of the software
needed for an installation, then complete the installation using AutoPilot Installer.
AutoPilot Installer allows you to install a driver using any of the following methods:
Hardware-first installation. The host bus adapter (HBA) is installed before the downloaded Emulex
drivers and utilities are installed. See page 3 for this procedure.
Software-first installation. This new installation method allows drivers and utilities to be downloaded
from the Emulex Web site and installed using AutoPilot Installer prior to the installation of any HBAs. The
drivers and utilities are automatically used when HBAs are installed at a later time. See page 4 for this
procedure.
Unattended installation. This new installation method allows you to set up AutoPilot Installer to run
unattended using customized scripts. Unattended installation can be used for both hardware-first and
software-first installations. See the complete Installation section of the driver user manual for more
information.
Note: Complete driver and utilities documentation may be downloaded from the Emulex Web site
(www.emulex.com). Click Support at the top of the Web page and navigate by clicking the appropriate
links.
Updating the Driver Using AutoPilot Installer
If you are currently running an older driver version, use the hardware-first installation procedure to
update your driver. Begin at step 2 to update the driver.
You can also update the Emulex drivers following the manual installation method. See the complete
Installation section of the driver user manual for this procedure.
Distribution Executable File Overview
The distribution executable file is a self-extracting file that includes the following:
• AutoPilot Installer - installs driver and utilities.
• Driver - manages communication and data transfer between applications and I/O devices, using
HBAs as agents.
• HBAnyware utility - performs installation and configuration tasks on remote and local adapters.
Distribution Executable File Procedure
To run the distribution executable file:
1. Download the distribution executable file from the Emulex Web site to your system.
2. Double-click the distribution executable file. A window is displayed with driver version
information and Emulex contact information
3. Click Next to access the Location window or click Cancel to close the window.
4. The default installation location is displayed. Browse to a different location, if desired. Click
Install to continue the installation.
5. The Progress window is displayed. As each task is completed, the corresponding checkbox is
automatically selected.

AutoPilot Installer for Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008
Introduction
AutoPilot Installer® for Emulex® drivers provides installation options that range from a simple installation
with a few mouse clicks to custom unattended installations using predefined script files.
AutoPilot Installer is included with Emulex drivers and utilities in Windows executable files that can be
downloaded from the Emulex Web site. Run the distribution executable file to extract all of the software
needed for an installation, then complete the installation using AutoPilot Installer.
AutoPilot Installer allows you to install a driver using any of the following methods:
Hardware-first installation. The host bus adapter (HBA) is installed before the downloaded Emulex
drivers and utilities are installed. See page 3 for this procedure.

Emulex Product Installation, Upgrades, and Configuration
Installing, upgrading and configuring Emulex products can be easily accomplished by following the checklists provided at the end of this document.
A word about Emulex configuration parameters:
Emulex drivers and software provide a great degree of configurability. In particular, each driver has a number of configuration parameters that allow the customization of the behavior of the driver. Because these parameters can significantly change the behavior of the Emulex product, great care must be taken in the setting of the parameters. Storage and system providers put forth great effort in determining what particular configuration parameters must be set to in order to provide optimal SAN performance.
For best results, never change the driver configuration parameters from their default values or the values that are specified by the storage and systems providers. Doing so can alter to performance of the SAN and possibly place the SAN in a configuration that is not supported or cause it not to operate properly.
How Emulex device driver configuration parameters work
It is very important to understand that Emulex configuration parameters are stored in the server in which the HBA is installed into. The parameters are acted upon by the device driver. Emulex configuration parameters are NOT stored in the HBA flash memory. Unlike some other SCSI and Fibre Channel HBAs, Emulex does not store any configuration information such as timers, Fibre Channel topology or link speed in the HBA flash. When an Emulex HBA is installed into a server, there is no separate configuration step required for the HBA. Proper driver configuration is all that is required. The exception is booting from SAN. In this case, the HBA BIOS utility must be used to configure the boot device. Said differently, the HBA must be told which Fibre Channel device contains the boot volume, and that information is stored in the flash. These settings are only in effect at boot time. Once the operating system loads the device driver, most settings of the driver are used and the HBA BIOS no longer functions.

Note Emulex supports current Solaris x86 systems through an SFS driver
Note For a legacy lpfc driver for Solaris 9 x86, or for Solaris 8 SPARC legacy drivers that are not listed under Previous Releases Solaris 10 Updates and the lpfc
Driver
The behavior of the Solaris operating system changes beginning with Solaris 10 Update 1 (also referred
to as Solaris 10 1/06 release). Starting with this version, a bare-metal installation of the operating system
automatically discovers all SFS-recognized HBAs (Sun-branded, Emulex, or EMC-branded) and binds
them to the “emlxs” SFS driver. A subsequent installation of lpfc will not discover and bind these HBAs;
you must use the emlxdrv utility to unbind the HBAs from the SFS driver as described in this document.
Note: You do not need to follow the procedure described in this document in the following
circumstances:
• If the server contains any Sun-branded HBAs, which are recognized
and supported only by the emlxs driver and not by the lpfc driver; you
must use the emlxs driver on all HBAs.
• If you installed an earlier version of Solaris and bound the HBAs to the
lpfc driver; updating to Solaris 10 Update 1 (or later) by applying
patches will not unbind the HBAs from the lpfc driver.
Prerequisites:
• SPARC platform
• Solaris 10 Update 1 or later installed on a local drive
• Sun released patch 120222-06 or later installed
• Emulex® FCA utility version 1.00m (which includes emlxdrv 1.00j for SPARC) or later installed
(see the Emulex FCA Utilities Reference Manual for installation instructions)
• Emulex lpfc driver not yet installed
To unbind the HBAs from the SFS driver, do the following:
1. Start the emlxdrv utility as described in the Emulex FCA Utilities Reference Manual.
2. Type the following command at the emlxdrv prompt:
clear_all
This unbinds from emlxs all HBAs that are recognized by both emlxs and lpfc drivers.
3. Exit the emlxdrv utility by typing the following:
q
Install the lpfc driver as instructed in the documentation that accompanies the driver.

Solaris 10 Updates and the lpfc
Driver
The behavior of the Solaris operating system changes beginning with Solaris 10 Update 1 (also referred
to as Solaris 10 1/06 release). Starting with this version, a bare-metal installation of the operating system
automatically discovers all SFS-recognized HBAs (Sun-branded, Emulex, or EMC-branded) and binds
them to the “emlxs” SFS driver. A subsequent installation of lpfc will not discover and bind these HBAs;
you must use the emlxdrv utility to unbind the HBAs from the SFS driver as described in this document.
Note: You do not need to follow the procedure described in this document in the following
circumstances:
• If the server contains any Sun-branded HBAs, which are recognized
and supported only by the emlxs driver and not by the lpfc driver; you
must use the emlxs driver on all HBAs.
• If you installed an earlier version of Solaris and bound the HBAs to the
lpfc driver; updating to Solaris 10 Update 1 (or later) by applying
patches will not unbind the HBAs from the lpfc driver.
Prerequisites:
• SPARC platform
• Solaris 10 Update 1 or later installed on a local drive
• Sun released patch 120222-06 or later installed
• Emulex® FCA utility version 1.00m (which includes emlxdrv 1.00j for SPARC) or later installed
(see the Emulex FCA Utilities Reference Manual for installation instructions)
• Emulex lpfc driver not yet installed

Storport Miniport Driver
Qualification: Microsoft currently does not offer an FCoE WHQL "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport Miniport driver is used with a standard Fibre Channel HBA, the driver is qualified for the "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport MiniPort driver is used with an FCoE CNA, the driver is considered "unclassified" by Microsoft. In both cases, the Storport Miniport drivers are digitally signed by Microsoft and will be recognized by both Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Note For Windows Server 2003, SP2 and the KB932755 update to the Microsoft Storport driver are required. KB945119 is recommended. The Storport KB update must be applied before the Emulex Storport Miniport driver can be installed.

Introduction
For information about any firmware release, see the release notes on the Emulex Web site. Release
notes include information such as new features, compatibility, known issues and resolved known issues.
This manual does not contain the procedures themselves. It serves as a guide to the publication that
contains the procedures you need.
Prerequisites
• Local boot disk.
• The intended Fibre Channel target should be big enough to hold all system files and the swap
slice of the current local boot disk.
Things to Know Before You Download
• Before you download the OneConnect or LightPulse files, create a directory for them.
• As a measure of protection, ensure that critical files on your local boot disk are backed up.
• Firmware may be bundled with boot code. Boot code allows you to designate a device that is
attached to the adapter as a boot drive. If you select a firmware image that includes boot code,
the update procedure will load both the new firmware and the boot code at the same time. After
updating, refer to the Emulex Boot Manual for procedures on enabling the boot code on your
adapter.
• Emulex firmware files support both OneConnect and LightPulse adapters.
• For OneConnect adapters:
• Firmware and boot code are provided in a single flash image called a .UFI file.
• The UFI file contains all of the files that support all OneConnect adapters. The latest
files for your adapter are installed automatically when you use an Emulex utility to
update the firmware.
• The UFI file contains both firmware and boot code.
• For LightPulse adapters:
• Firmware is provided in a .ZIP file as a .ALL file or a .AWC file. You must manually unzip
the .ALL or .AWC file from the .ZIP file before you can use an Emulex utility to install it.
• Firmware differs between adapter models. Make sure you download the appropriate
firmware for your adapter.
• The .ZIP file may or may not include a boot code (.PRG) file.

HBAnyware needs the java runtime binaries and libraries, so their path needs to be included in the PATH
environment variable. For example, if your java runtime binaries are in /usr/java/bin, then include this path
in your PATH environment variable. (bash> export PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/bin")
HBAnyware is dependant on lpfcdriver being installed, so install lpfcdriver first if it is not already installed.
1. Run the pkgrm routine to remove any previous version of HBAnyware: pkgrm HBAnyware
2. Copy the HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar.gz file to a directory on the install machine
3. cd to the directory which you copied the tar file
4. Unzip the file: gunzip HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar.gz
5. Untar the file: tar -xvf HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar
6. Run the pkgadd routine: pkgadd -d .
7. When prompted by pkadd, choose to install HBAnyware

Qualification: Microsoft currently does not offer an FCoE WHQL "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport Miniport driver is used with a standard Fibre Channel HBA, the driver is qualified for the "Certified for Windows" logo program. When the Storport MiniPort driver is used with an FCoE CNA, the driver is considered "unclassified" by Microsoft. In both cases, the Storport Miniport drivers are digitally signed by Microsoft and will be recognized by both Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
Note For Windows Server 2003, SP2 and the KB932755 update to the Microsoft Storport driver are required. KB945119 is recommended. The Storport KB update must be applied before the Emulex Storport Miniport driver can be installed.
