Installation and Configuration
The appropriate non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) settings must now be
loaded onto the HBA(s). Type "
efiutil all nr=nvram23.dat"
("
nvram23.dat" is the default NVRAM data file for QLA23xx-based
HBAs) and press Enter.
Figure 1-25 Data Loaded onto HBA(s) Installed in Server
The NVRAM data will be loaded onto the HBA(s) installed in the
server (as shown in Figure 1-25), and return to the EFI shell when
complete. If any errors are reported during this process, verify that
the correct NVRAM data file ("
nvram23.dat") for your HBA has been
copied to your installation media.
Type reset at the EFI shell prompt to reboot the server, allowing the
updated drivers, firmware, and NVRAM settings to take effect.
Following the reboot, type fsN: (where N is the number which
references the proper filesystem, as described earlier) and press Enter
to access the filesystem containing the QLogic EFI boot code. If the
EFI boot code resides in a subdirectory, type cd <subdirectory name>
and press Enter. Type efiutil to start the QLogic EFI Utility and press
Enter. At this point, the QLogic HBA instances should be shown
with a specific firmware version, and "AUX" should not be listed next
to the firmware, as shown in Figure 1-26 on page 1-30. At this point,
the EFI drivers, firmware, and NVRAM settings have been loaded to
the HBA(s).
