4. Set the QLA2344 HBA data rate (see section 5.3.4).

5. Select the boot device (see section 5.3.5).

6. Build the bootable disk (see section 5.3.6).

The QLA2344 has four channels. The code distinguishes between the channels as

follows:

n qla@4 (first channel)

n qla@4,1 (second channel)

n qla@5 (third channel)

n qla@5,1 (fourth channel)

Throughout the FCode sections, the examples use qla@4; substitute the

appropriate code for each of the four channels.

5.3.1

Flashing a QLA2344 HBA with FCode

Flash the QLA2344 HBA with FCode if you want to update the existing FCode on

the QLA2344 HBA. A QLogic Solaris SPARC driver revision 3.06 or later must be

installed before the flash utility can be run.

WARNING!!

Be careful when changing flash contents; incorrect data may render

the QLA2344 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 5.3.5). For example:

./qla2x00flash -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4:

devctl ifp2312.prom

NOTE: All four channels of the QLA2344 HBA must be flashed with FCode.
