The mptutil commands and functions are listed in Table 10 and are described in the following
sections.
Table 10 MPTUTIL Commands and Functions
FunctionCommand
Updating HBA RISC firmware on the controllermptutil -f <firmware_file>
Updating EFI driver on first controllermptutil -o -g <x86_file> <fcode_file>
Viewing VPD informationmptutil -o -vpd -c 0
Parameters in < > are optional. A space is required between command line options and their parameters.
Flashing Firmware on First Controller
To update the HBA RISC firmware on the first controller:
1. At the fs0:> prompt, enter mptutil -f <firmware_file> -c 0.
2. At the fs0:> prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if it is omitted.
Another way to flash the firmware executes without your knowledge. When mptutil is issued,
and a SAS HBA is in any state other than ready or operational, mptutil immediately performs
a firmware download boot. The firmware provided by you to do the firmware download boot is
immediately flashed after the firmware download boot has completed.
The mptutil command does this because the firmware only moves to the operational state if it
is running from flash and not memory. Operational state is needed to do everything else provided
in the utility.
Flashing BIOS and EFI Driver on the First Controller
To update the EFI driver on the first controller:
1. At the fs0:> prompt, enter mptutil -o -g <Bios_File> <EFI_driver_file> -c
0.
2. At the fs0:> prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if it is omitted.
