Updating QLogic firmware/BIOS and applying NVRAM settings
EMC-approved adapter firmware/BIOS and NVRAM settings must
be applied to your adapter before connecting to, and running I/O on,
EMC Storage Arrays. There are two ways to flash updated
firmware/BIOS files to your adapter:
◆ From QLogic SANsurfer Management Software
◆ From a DOS command prompt.
To use SANsurfer Management Software to update firmware/BIOS
on your adapter when Windows is running, refer to “Updating the
flash BIOS using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager” on page 168 for
instructions.
Note: Current 64-bit systems can on be updated only with QLogic SANsurfer
Management Software.
Note: QLogic SANsurfer Management Software is compatible with Fibre
Channel HBAs and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) CNAs. The
procedures in this section will work for both types of adapters.
If you are updating the firmware/BIOS of an adapter installed in a
32-bit system that is not running the SANsurfer software, use the
procedure described in the “Install/upgrade firmware and boot BIOS
from DOS” on page 27.
