FCode

4-6 FC2354601-00 E

WARNING!! Be careful when changing flash contents; incorrect data may render

the QLA2342/2342L HBA unusable to the point that the operating

system may not function.

The following instructions flash the FCode using the command line. You can perform

the same function through SANblade Control FX for Solaris (see section 15.6.4.2).

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

3. If the connection mode is not correct based on the devices connected to the

QLA2342/2342L HBA, change it using the set-connection-mode command.

For example:

ok 0 set-connection-mode
