Updating the flash firmware/BIOS

Each Emulex Fibre Channel controller has flash-upgradeable

firmware and BIOS. In most instances, it is necessary to keep only the

firmware current, since the BIOS is applied only when using

connected storage as a boot device.

The CD-ROM contains the EMC-approved firmware files at the time

of this document's release. If updated firmware is available,

download it as described under “Downloading latest Emulex

drivers/firmware/BIOS files” on page 20.

The firmware and BIOS files are typically in a .zip file that contains

different combinations of firmware and BIOS images. Extract the

downloaded file, and refer to the included readme.txt to determine

which filename image to use. For older adapter models, you should

always use the *.awc files; typically there are two from which to

choose. One includes the boot BIOS with the firmware, and the other

does not. The *.awc file that includes the boot BIOS is named with

and additional c (i.e., CDC392a2.awc).

Most recent adapter families provide a single firmware file with an

.all extension. These firmware images do not have BIOS combined

with the firmware, so a separate load for the Boot BIOS is required.
