This version of BIOS image has increased size from 44K 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 file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: dd390a7.awc). Then, download the BIOS .prg file.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)
If the adapter BIOS is not activated (enabled) by LP6dutil or other O.S. utility,
this adapter would not be configured. Also, there is "No BIOS support" message next

This version of BIOS image has increased in size to 48K. On some HBAs,
attempting to download a new .PRG file may fail only if there is not
enough empty space in the FLASH. One way to correct the problem
on those HBAs is to first download a .DWC image which does not contain
boot code (for example: dd390a7.dwc). This will clear enough space
to allow the boot .PRG file to be downloaded.
(2) BIOS was not activated (enabled)
If the adapter BIOS is not activated (enabled) by LP6DUTIL or other Emulex driver

--------------- 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 1.30a5 ------------------------
1. Fixed bug on inputting a invalid LUN number got an "Unexpected SCSI
command encountered.", then tried a good command, and cause the
machine hung.
2. Fixed bug on inputting a invalid WWPN number and continue to access
LOGO and PLOGI instead of exit.
3. Disable the message "Can't open disk label package" on IBM machine
for non-bootable disks.
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.30a6 ------------------------
1. Bug fixed for FCODE map-in doesn't match decoded register error.
Especially for true 64-bit machine.
2. Bug fixed for "Error: can't free iommu-list" due to the data
structure memory allocation problem on true 64-bit machine.
3. Enhanced the behavior to relogin if a target logs out during
the boot sequence.
4. Added auto-topology support - try coming up in point to point
mode first, if unsuccessful try coming up in loop mode. This
release can not set loop only or point to point only mode. These
topology options will be added to the next release.
5. Fixed bug to check the FCP_RSP_LEN_VALID bit in the FCP_RESP frame,
before using the FCP_RSP_LEN field to calculate the starting
address of the sense data.

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

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)

----------------------- 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)

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A4 ------------------------
1. The "ct-req" info. was erased by adding the "memory erase" function
before "ct-req" dma-free in previous release which cause the fcode
fail to see the target in fabric mode, the new fixed is removed the
"memory erase" function from "ct-req" before the dma-free. (CR11852)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A3 ------------------------
1. In some system server, during the DR, there is a WARNING message
with memory leaked issue. The new release corrected this issue by
adding additional memory erase functions to set to 0 all the previously
obtained dma memory before the fcode released out the dma and virtual
address mappings by dma-map-out and dma-free. (CR11350 & CR11351)
2. In the universal boot code, during the boot time, there is an
warning message "Warning: Fcode sequence resulted in a net stack
depth change of 1", the new release fixed issue by remove some
unnecessarily call function in the fcode. (CR11538)
3. In some system, if the HBA was fail on the initialization by pulling
or remove the cable during boot time, the .properties command in the
ok prompt will display the wrong mode number of the HBA. The new
fixed will not show any model number of the HBA in this scenario. If
the system initize the HBA properly, it will display the correct
model number of the HBA. (CR9842)
4. Added the new instruction for using the alpa to set the boot id in

1. Added the new link speed selection feature that uses the command
"set-link-speed" to select the desired link speed. The new link
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
forever. (CR16050)
6. Added the host "port-wwn" and "node-wwn" of the HBA into the reg
property during POST time which was required by system to
allow to collect the Host wwpn/wwnn info during boot.(CR16051)
7. Fixed the bug on fail to report fcp-lun on software BOOT format.

1. In some UNIX server, the OS Fcode interpreter does not contains the
word "vendor-id" or "device-id" in their library, during the DR
login, it will cause the segmentation error if the Fcode is using
those words to locate the vendor or device ids' address in PCI config
space. This new fix will use the "my-space" method instead.
2. The boot device path is report incorrect path on devalias in some
latest release server, and cause boot failure. This release takes
care the issue by replace new device path function.
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.40A0 ------------------------
1. In some server system, the default "ihandle/devname" is not in the
OBP library, and that will issue a wrong device path in devalias.

1. In some system server, the HBA adapter does not get initialized
when dyanmic reconfiguration is initiated on entire PCI I/O assemby,
and shows the error message " Segmentation Fault" by the system's
Fcode interpreter. The cause of this issue was the Forth word
"erase" can't use in device memory on some system server during DR,
"erase" should only be used on system memory. This release fixed
the issue by replace and use "do-loop" to zero out device memory
area instead. (CR9683)
2. There is an issue regarding the variable declaration, because the
variable of "#lun-a0" was declare as CONSTANT, if some system's
Fcode interpreter try to change or modified this variable during
program execution after it is declared, it can corrupts the Open
Firmware dictionary entry with error message "default catch".
This release fixed the issue by replace the "CONSTANT" to "VALUE"
for declared the variable of (#lun-a0) in fcp-luns. (CR9717)

Changes and Corrections:
Inactive exchange control blocks now have their X_ID obscured to insure
that they will not affect active exchanges.
(CR 3916, 3917, 3653, 3656)
Adapter firmware invalidly resets the sequence flags on an S_ID mismatch.
This was found only under very heavy load, in extreme circumstances,
in target mode. This has been fixed.
(CR 3792, 3791)
Improved operation of E_D_TOV timer when closing exchange.
(CR 3794, 3793)
Corrected self-test problem reporting wrong internal test number.
(CR 3788, 3803)
Improved wake-up failure reporting capability. Added the ability to
read the additional wake-up errors from SLIM memory. (CR 3804, 3807)
Due to the length of time required to close out an aborted exchange with
a remote port which is not responding, the "early abort notification" is
now forced into the active state for timed-out commands. (CR 3853, 3854)
Solved a timeout problem when switching from LOOP to P2P when connected
to a switch port. (CR 3806, 3856)
Added extra delay to TX/RX DMA timeout trap to allow for special PCI
bus designs. (CR 3860, 3861)
Corrected HBA memory initialization problem with the BootBIOS utility
setting P2P mode on the LP8000. (CR 3647)
Corrected response to READ_LA mailbox command so that valid current and
link down state information is returned. (CR 3630, 3635)
A method of detecting and correcting a single-bit FLASH error was added
for the 128K FLASH boot sector. This addresses all known instances of
charge migration in the FLASH. (CR 3709, 3710)

Added or refined features as per customer requests. (CR 8636, 8663,
9182, 8080, 8082, 9811, 9864, 10120, 10574)
Several symptoms, ranging from I/O errors to HBA hang, were caused by
the power management reset process and Solaris "Dynamic Reconfiguration"
process, both of which required a change in the HBA to assure that the
PCI configuration was ready within a very short time after HBA reset.
(CR 5204, 6941, 6961, 7097, 8634, 8635, 8637, 8638, 9398, 10212)
Enabled use of LP952 with Open Source Linux 2.01 and newer.
(CR 9362)
Corrected an incorrect response to an RRQ timeout. ABTS is now sent
if the RRQ to the host times out. (CR 10119, 9364)
When several commands were issued to the HBA and then one was aborted,
the firmware would occasionally not throw away all the frames for the
aborted exchange. The result was that the HBA would stop transmitting
R-RDY and no further credit would be issued. The rare instance in which
this could happen has been corrected. (CR 9393)
A rare condition where an incorrect IOCB could be returned to the host
if the exchange is aborted before the buffer list has been queued by the
host has been corrected. (CR 10117, 10058)
WWN upon receipt of a fiber login is now validated to avoid a problem
where the switch tries to access the HBA as a G-port,
(CR 10229, 10568, 10569)
FCP recovery has been improved by including the proper reason codes
for tapes. (CR 10173, 10575, 9530)
A switch login problem in point-to-point-only mode with certain
transceivers has been corrected. (CR 9406)
A CLOSE in point-to-point mode is no longer ignored. This corrects a
deadlock problem in OldPort mode when connecting to a switch.

Ensure that there is at least one credit when doing REG LOGIN to
fabric port. (CR 12460, 12466, 14357)
Parity errors due to loop init received during speed negotiation
are now processed properly. (CR 13463, 14239, 14241)
Corrected a problem where the download of corrupted firmware would
return the proper error, but refuse any further commands.
(CR 13241, 14584)
Improved handling of the RESET_RING command to completely initialize
the ring and no longer return an unnecessary response.
(CR 13325, 13631, 13632, 13374, 14446, 14450, 14589)

Invalid exchange handling was improved by not issuing an error when
buffers are returned for use. (CR 13413, 14593)
Added code to correctly process and count error counter overflows.
(CR 13328, 13629, 14444, 14594)
Receiving a LIP while loop master and while waiting for LIHA will no
longer cause a timeout. (CR 13636, 13638, 14448, 14595)
Response to an unsolicited IP broadcast frame was corrected to comply
with FC spec. (CR 11019, 14596)
Corrected a dropped IWRITE command when using discontinuous buffer
descriptor entries (BDEs). (CR 10342, 10447, 14597)
Allow use of a different FLASH memory chip [AM29LV160DB].
(CR 14599, 13059, 12545)
An uninitialized value (usually zero) was being returned for the ED_TOV
value when a default value of 10 was actually being used by the
firmware. The reported value is now correctly intialized to 10.
(CR 14108, 14603)
Corrected the reason and explanation codes given to the tape drive
in an LS_RJT response to REC ELS. This allows a Solaris host to
retry the command. (CR 10121, 9489)

Changes and Corrections:
Inactive exchange control blocks now have their X_ID obscured to insure
that they will not affect active exchanges.
(CR 3916, 3917, 3653, 3656)
Adapter firmware invalidly resets the sequence flags on an S_ID mismatch.
This was found only under very heavy load, in extreme circumstances,
in target mode. This has been fixed.
(CR 3792, 3791)
Improved operation of E_D_TOV timer when closing exchange.
(CR 3794, 3793)
Corrected self-test problem reporting wrong internal test number.
(CR 3788, 3803)
Improved wake-up failure reporting capability. Added the ability to
read the additional wake-up errors from SLIM memory. (CR 3804, 3807)
Due to the length of time required to close out an aborted exchange with
a remote port which is not responding, the "early abort notification" is
now forced into the active state for timed-out commands. (CR 3853, 3854)
Solved a timeout problem when switching from LOOP to P2P when connected
to a switch port. (CR 3806, 3856)
Added extra delay to TX/RX DMA timeout trap to allow for special PCI
bus designs. (CR 3860, 3861)
A data transfer which completed after the link went down was
incorrectly flagged as an internal BIU error. Fixed. (CR 3616, 3478)
Corrected response to READ_LA mailbox command so that valid current and
link down state information is returned. (CR 3630, 3635)
A method of detecting and correcting a single-bit FLASH error was added
for the 128K FLASH boot sector. This addresses all known instances of
charge migration in the FLASH. (CR 3709, 3710)

2. Description of Changes
The ioctl-install script installs the LPFC Application Helper
Module RPM. This RPM installs the module sources to the
/usr/src/lpfcdfc directory, builds the module for the currently
running kernel, and then installs the module to the proper
directory for the currently running kernel.
Once the RPM is installed, the 'elxlpfc' init script is 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 Application Helper Module build to succeed.
For example, a system with the 2.6.9-6.37.EL kernel would need the
kernel-devel-2.6.9-6.37.EL package, and a system with the
2.6.9-6.37.ELsmp kernel would need the
kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-6.37.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 Application Helper Module build to succeed.
For example, a system with the 2.6.5-7.166-bigsmp kernel would need
the kernel-source-2.6.5-7.166 package.

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

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.

This driver version requires patch #112438 for
Solaris 8 operation.
Starting with this Solaris driver version 6.20, the driver no longer uses the sd.conf and st.conf files to limit the storage presented to the OS. If your environment uses these files to perform LUN or target masking, refer to the driver manual for important configuration information.
Base driver, HBAnyware utility 3.3a22 and lputil 2.0a13
HBAnyware 3.3a19 Solaris Installation Instructions
Dependencies:
lpfcdriver 6.20g, emlxsdriver 2.20a, or later
hbaapi 2.0.f
Java Runtime Environment
Version 1.5 or later of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must
be installed. HBAnyware will not run under earlier versions of
the JRE.
HBAnyware and hbacmd currently will not run under Solaris 6. HBAnyware and hbacmd target OS versions
include Solaris 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, and 5.11.
The JRE and instructions for installation can be found at http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html
JAVA NOTE:
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 a driver being installed, so install lpfcdriver or emlxsdriver first if it is not already installed.
1. Run the pkgrm routine to remove any previous version of HBAnyware: pkgrm HBAnyware
2. Run the unpack script : ./unpack_apps
to obtain correct package version
3. Unzip the file: gunzip HBAnyware-3.3a19-sparc.tar.gz
4. Untar the file: tar -xvf HBAnyware-3.3a19-sparc.tar
5. Run the pkgadd utility: pkgadd -d .
6. When prompted by pkgadd, choose to install HBAnyware
7. When prompted by pkgadd, answer the HBAnyware installation option questions
Running the HBAnyware GUI
1. su to root
2. Run the script /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware

Installing the driver using AutoPilot Installer (498 KB)
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.
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.
• Driver-specific utility (elxcfg for FC Port, lputilnt for Storport Miniport and SCSIport Miniport) -
provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to examine, manage and configure local HBAs.
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.
6. After all tasks are completed, a confirmation window is displayed. The Start AutoPilot Installer
checkbox is automatically selected. To start AutoPilot Installer later, clear this checkbox.
7. Click Finish to close the distribution executable file.
AutoPilot Installer Introduction
The Emulex AutoPilot Installer is a Fibre Channel HBA installation wizard for Windows. The AutoPilot
Installer installs (or updates) Emulex drivers and utilities and configures HBAs, drivers and utilities.

Starting with this Solaris driver version 6.20, the driver no longer uses the sd.conf and st.conf files to limit the storage presented to the OS. If your environment uses these files to perform LUN or target masking, refer to the driver manual for important configuration information.
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.

¨
¨ Copper duplex cabling with DB9 connectors (also called DE9)
Install Host Bus Adapter Board
Record IEEE address and serial number.
Each host adapter is shipped with a unique address identifier called the
IEEE address. The Fibre Channel industry uses a World Wide Name
(WWN) derived from the IEEE address, and this number is need for
arbitrated loop connectivity. The serial number is used when
communicating with Emulex. Both numbers are clearly marked on the
board. We recommend that you record these numbers before installation.
1.
2. Turn off and unplug the computer.
3. Remove the computer case.
4. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
Insert host adapter board into the empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
Press firmly until the board is seated.
5.
Secure the host adapter's mounting bracket to the case with the panel
screw.
6.
7. Replace the computer case and tighten case screws.
The host adapter is now installed in the PC and is ready for media attachment.
Change the GBIC Connector
A GBIC, or Gigabit Interface Converter, is a connector that offers a flexible
choice of copper or fiber optic media. A GBIC supports either short wave or long
wave optical transmission. These types are available:
· Short-wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors
· Long-wave fiber optic GBIC with dual SC connectors
· Copper GBIC with DB9 connector
Caution An Emulex supplied GBIC is required to maintain regulatory
compliance with worldwide certifications (for example, FCC,
C-Tick, CE, and so on).
A GBIC should be matched with its cabling to obtain optimum performance and
distance. For example, a short wave fiber optic GBIC best supports either
62.5/125 or 50/125 multimode cable, while a long wave fiber optic GBIC
functions best with 9/125 single mode cable.

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.

Note: Emulex recommends installing driver version 6.11cx2, which adds a critical fix to the previously posted 6.11c driver. Driver functionality and behavior are otherwise identical.
Note Emulex supports current Solaris x86 systems through an SFS driver
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.

Installing the driver using AutoPilot Installer (498 KB)
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.
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.
• Driver-specific utility (elxcfg for FC Port, lputilnt for Storport Miniport and SCSIport Miniport) -
provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to examine, manage and configure local HBAs.
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.
6. After all tasks are completed, a confirmation window is displayed. The Start AutoPilot Installer
checkbox is automatically selected. To start AutoPilot Installer later, clear this checkbox.
7. Click Finish to close the distribution executable file.

Dependencies:
lpfcdriver 6.02c, or later
hbaapi 2.0e
Java Runtime Environment
Version 1.4 or later of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must
be installed. HBAnyware will not run under earlier versions of
the JRE.
HBAnyware and hbacmd currently will not run under Solaris 6.
The JRE and instructions for installation can be found at http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html
JAVA NOTE:
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
Running the HBAnyware GUI
1. su to root
2. Run the script /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware
Helpful scripts
/usr/sbin/hbanyware/stop_hbanyware - This script will stop all HBAnyware daemons and GUIs.
Run this if you need to unload the driver.

HBAnyware 2.1a18 Solaris Installation Instructions
Dependencies:
lpfcdriver 6.02c, or later
hbaapi 2.0e
Java Runtime Environment
Version 1.4 or later of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must
be installed. HBAnyware will not run under earlier versions of
the JRE.
HBAnyware and hbacmd currently will not run under Solaris 6.
The JRE and instructions for installation can be found at http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html
JAVA NOTE:
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
Running the HBAnyware GUI
1. su to root
2. Run the script /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware
Helpful scripts
/usr/sbin/hbanyware/stop_hbanyware - This script will stop all HBAnyware daemons and GUIs.
Run this if you need to unload the driver.
