6–iSCSI Noninteractive Commands
-bootcode (Update BIOS/UEFI [or FCode] Mode)
6-4 SN0054667-00 B
-bootcode
(Update BIOS/UEFI [or FCode] Mode)
Boot code (that is, the bootable code image) is code that allows system boot from
an iSCSI drive.
The -bootcode command updates the boot-code image, which should be done
when QLogic releases a new boot code with bug fixes or enhancements. At the
prompt, type the name of the file containing the boot-code image to upload to the
adapter.
To update the boot-code image, issue the -bootcode command as follows:
-bootcode <hba_port_inst> <Bootcode Code Image File Name>
-bootcodemode
(Set BIOS/UEFI [or FCode] Mode)
To set the boot-code mode for QLA4050, QLA4050C, QLE4060C, QLE4062, and
QMC4052 adapters, issue the -bootcodemode command as follows:
-bootcodemode <hba_port_inst> <1>|<2>|<3>
Where:
If adapter DHCP is enabled (see “-ipdhcp (Configure IP Settings)” on page 6-14),
modes 1–3 are allowed. If adapter DHCP is not enabled, boot-code DHCP is not
allowed. This mode is not supported for QLA4010 adapters. This mode is not
active for the PPC.
For IBM cards, the following modes are available:
1 = Disabled
2 = Manual mode
3 = DHCP–Root path
4 = DHCP vendor ID
5 = DHCP-auto
6 = Auto
7 = System mode
NOTE:
Boot-code DHCP is not allowed for QLA4010 adapters.
