Updating the flash BIOS using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
WARNING
Changing flash BIOS incorrectly can cause serious damage to your
system.
Perform the following steps to update the flash BIOS:.
1. In the SAN
SANSurfer FC HBA Manager main menu HBA tree,
select the adapter.
If you want to configure multiple adapters with the same settings,
hold the CTRL key while selecting multiple adapters. The
adapters must be in the same series:
QLA231x adapters, QLA234x adapters, QLA246x adapters,
QLE246x adapters, or QLA22xx adapters.
Note: Only the Settings (Adapter Settings and Advanced Adapter
Settings) and Utilities tabbed pages can be configured for multiple
adapters; therefore, the remaining tabbed pages do not display when
multiple adapters are selected.
2. Click the Utilities tab. The Utilities page displays (see Figure 123
on page 169).
IMPORTANT
If you selected multiple adapters, the Save Flash and Save
NVRAM radio buttons do not display. These options cannot be
performed with multiple adapters. Some versions of
SANsurfer may have buttons referring to Flash, Option ROM,
or Boot Code. These all refer to the adapter BIOS.
