Q
Enter the show-devs command (see step 1 in section 4.3.5) to
determine if your system has a resident BIOS. If the device path
contains scsi or fibre-channel, as in the following examples, a BIOS
has been installed.
/devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@4/sd@82,0
/devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/fibre-channel@4/sd@82,0
If you change to FCode, the device path changes, for example:
/devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4/sd@82,0
The following instructions flash the FCode using the command line. You can perform
the same function through SANblade Control FX (see the SANsurfer Applications
User’s Guide (FS0054601-00)).
Perform the following steps to run the flash utility:
1. Copy the qla2x00flash file and the ifp2312.prom file to the desired directory.
2. At the command line, enter the appropriate path. Use the information obtained
with the show-devs command (see step 1 in section 4.3.5). For example:
./qla2x00flash -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4:
devctl ifp2312.prom
Both channels of the QLA2342/2342L HBA must be flashed with FCode. For
the second channel, enter the following at the command line:
./qla2x00flash -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/
QLGC,qla@4,1:devctl ifp2312.prom

Setting the QLA2342/2342L HBA Connection Mode
Perform the following steps to view the current QLA2342/2342L HBA connection
mode and change it if necessary.
1. Select the QLA2342/2342L HBA attached to the Fibre Channel device from
which you want to boot. For example, type the following at the ok prompt:
ok " /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4" select-dev
2. To view the current connection mode, type the show-connection-mode
command:
ok show-connection-mode
The connection mode and options display. For example:
Current HBA connection mode: 1 - Point-to-point only
Possible connection mode choices:
0 - Loop Only
1 - Point-to-point only
2 - Loop preferred, otherwise point-to-point
