================================================================= MultiBoot Update for QLogic for IBM BladeCenter ================================================================= BIOS Version 2.04, FCode version 2.04, and Firmware Version 4.00.27 MultiBoot Version 1.49 This update supports BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager (BOFM) NOTE: A QLogic Readme file that accompanied this update is attaced to the end of this readme file. It is included for informational purposes only and contains references to update procedures not directly supported by this package. IMPORTANT NOTE: This package requires the QLogic utility "SCLI" to perform the flash update. A compatible version of SCLI for 32/64 bit Linux and 32 bit Windows architectures is included in this package and will be automatically installed. This installation will replace any previous SCLI version you had installed. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you choose to install the SCLI utility manually, please ensure that you install version 1.7.1-18 or later. Earlier versions of SCLI are not compatible with the BOFM FW/BIOS and can cause flash memory corruption. The SCLI versions included with this package are 1.7.1-18. Please see the file "SCLI-readme.txt" for more information. IMPORTANT NOTE: This package updates the MultiBoot image for 4Gb HBAs only. If you have both a 4Gb and an 8Gb HBA installed, the 8Gb HBA will not be updated, but SCLI will return a code indicating that an incompatible HBA was found. This non-zero return code will cause UpdateXpress to show a failure message even though the 4Gb HBA was successfully updated. Should this occur, please use SCLI to verify that the update was successful. (C) Copyright International Business Machines Corporation 1999, 2008. All rights reserved.

Configuration Parameters --------------------------- NOTE: The Fast!Util BIOS utility does not run on Sun SPARC systems. Refer to the FCode Guide for information regarding adapter configuration settings. Introduction This section provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who want to customize the configuration of the HBA and the connected devices. The board can be configured using Fast!UTIL. Access Fast!UTIL by pressing - or - during the QLX24XX board BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one HBA, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the board you want to configure. After changing the settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters. NOTE: - lists only the same type of QLogic adapters installed in the system. CAUTION! If the configuration settings are incorrect, your HBA may not function properly. The following selections are available from the Fast!UTIL Options menu: * Configuration Settings * Scan Fibre Channel Devices * Fibre Disk Utility * Loopback Data Test * Select Host Adapter * Exit Fast!UTIL 5.1. Configuration Settings --------------------------- 5.1.1. Adapter Settings ---------------------------- * Host Adapter BIOS (Enabled/Disabled : Default - Disabled) When this setting is disabled, the ROM BIOS on the HBA is disabled, freeing space in upper memory. This setting must be enabled if you are booting from an FC disk drive attached to the HBA. See Section 2.3.1.2. for details on specifying the boot device. * Frame Size (512/1024/2048 : Default - 2048) This setting specifies the maximum frame length supported by the HBA. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Loop Reset Delay (0 - 60 seconds : Default - 5 seconds) After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from initiating any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this setting. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Adapter Hard Loop ID (Enabled/Disabled : Default - Disabled) This setting forces the adapter to attempt to use the ID specified in the Hard Loop ID setting. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Hard Loop ID (0 - 125 : Default - 0) If the Adapter Hard Loop ID setting is enabled, the adapter attempts to use the ID specified in this setting. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Spin Up Delay (Enabled/Disabled : Default - Disabled) When this bit is set, the BIOS waits up to two minutes to find the first drive. * Connection Options (0/1/2 : Default - 2) This setting defines the type of connection (loop -0, point-to-point -1 or loop preferred then point-to-point -2). NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Fibre Channel Tape Support (Enabled/Disabled : Default - Enabled) This setting enables FCP-2 recovery. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. * Data Rate (0/1/2/3 : Default - 2) This setting determines the data rate. When this setting is 0, the HBA runs at 1 Gb/sec. When this setting is 1, the HBA runs at 2 Gb/sec. When this setting is 2, the HBA auto-negotiates and determines the data rate. When this setting is 3, the HBA runs at 4 gigabits/sec. NOTE: This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs. 5.1.2. Selectable Boot Settings ------------------------------- The Selectable Boot Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings menu. If you enable the Host Adapter BIOS in the Adapter Settings, this option allows you to select the boot device as follows: Enable Selectable Boot WWPN/LUN Boot Device Boot List ----------------- ------------- ----------- No X BIOS configures the first disk or LUN drive it finds as boot device. Yes none specified BIOS configures the first disk drive it finds that is also a LUN 0 as boot device. Yes specified BIOS scans through the specified Boot WWPN/LUN list until it finds a disk drive. This is configured as boot device. This option allows you to specify WWPN/LUN as boot devices. Follow these steps to enable the Selectable Boot option and insert devices into the boot device locations: 1. From the Configuration Settings menu, select Host Adapter Settings. 2. Enable the HBA BIOS, then press ESC to return to the Configuration Settings menu. 3. From the Configuration Settings menu, select Selectable Boot Settings. 4. Press ENTER to enable or disable (toggle) the Selectable Boot option. Use the down arrow key to move to the Primary location of the Selectable Boot List menu.5. Press ENTER to see a list of accessible devices (in the Select Fibre Channel Device menu). 6. Select a drive using the arrow keys to scroll down to the device you want to put into your Selectable Boot menu list, then press ENTER to select the requested device and load it into the Selectable Boot menu list. 7. Repeat this step to specify up to three alternate boot devices. NOTES: * To boot from a QLogic FC adapter in newer systems with the Phoenix and AMI multi-boot BIOS, the System BIOS Boot menu must include the FC adapter in the correct order. * Solaris x86 Boot from a SAN: To boot from an FC drive connected to a QLogic host FC adapter, reboot the system and enter Fast!Util. Enter into the Selectable Boot menu, enable selectable boot and insert the BOOT drive in the Primary location of the Selectable Boot menu prior to performing the OS (Solaris X86) installation. For these BOOT from SAN configurations, the Solaris x86 QLA driver supports booting from the Primary location only. The driver will not attempt to boot from the Alternate 1, Alternate 2, and Alternate 3 entries. 5.1.3 Restore Default Settings ------------------------------ The Restore Defaults option from the Configuration Settings menu restores the HBA default settings. 5.1.4 Raw NVRAM Data (This option is not available for QLE2x0 HBAs) -------------------- This option displays the adapter’s NVRAM contents in hexadecimal format. This is a QLogic troubleshooting tool, you cannot modify the data. 5.1.5 Advanced Adapter Settings (These options are not available for QLE2x0 HBAs) ------------------------------- From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Advanced Adapter Settings. The following paragraphs describe the default settings for the 4Gb HBA. * Execution Throttle ( 1-256 : Default - 16) This setting specifies the maximum number of commands executing on any one target port. After reaching a target port’s execution throttle, it stops issuing new commands until one of the current commands finishes executing. * LUNs per Target (0/8/16/32/64/128/256 : Default - 128) This setting specifies the number of LUNs supported per target if the target does not support "Report LUN" command. Multiple LUN support typically applies to a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) boxes that use LUNs to map drives. * Enable LIP Reset (Yes/No : Default - No) This setting determines the type of loop initialization process (LIP) reset used when the operating system initiates a bus reset routine. When this option is set to yes, the driver initiates a global LIP reset to reset the target devices. When this option is set to no, the driver initiates a global LIP reset with full login. * Enable LIP Full Login (Yes/No : Default - Yes) This setting instructs the ISP chip to re-login to all ports after any LIP. * Enable Target Reset (Yes/No : Default - Yes) This setting enables the drivers to issue a Target Reset command to all devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command is issued. * Login Retry Count (0 - 255 : Default - 8) This setting specifies the number of times the software tries to log in to a device. * Port Down Retry Count (0 - 255 seconds : Default - 30 seconds) This setting specifies the number of seconds the software waits to retry a command to a port returning port down status. * Link Down Timeout (0 - 255 seconds : Default - 30 seconds) This setting specifies the number of seconds the software waits for a link down to come up. * Operation Mode (0/5/6 : Default - 0) This setting specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO) modes, if supported by the software driver. The RIO modes allow posting multiple command completions in a single interrupt. This option supports the following modes: 0 - Interrupt for every I/O completion 5 - Interrupt when Interrupt Delay Timer expires 6 - Interrupt when Interrupt Delay Timer expires or no active I/Os. * Interrupt Delay Timer (0 - 255 seconds: Default - 0) This setting contains the value (in 200-microsecond increments) that a timer uses to set the wait time between generating an interrupt. * Enable Interrupt ( YES/NO : Default - NO) Setting this option to YES enables the BIOS to use the IRQ assigned to the ISP24xx. When set to NO the BIOS will poll for ISP mailbox command completion status. * EV Controller Order (Enabled/Disabled: Default - Disabled) This setting enables BIOS compatibility with older HP (G3) systems such as the ML370G3, DL360G3, and DL380G3. When disabled, system boots to QLogic Controller first. When enabled, system only boots when QLogic is set as the first controller in the system BIOS\Boot Controller Order. 5.2. Scan Fibre Devices ------------------------ This option scans the FC loop and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. Information about each device is listed, for example, vendor name, product name, and revision. This information is useful when configuring your QLX24XX board and attached devices. 5.3. Fibre Disk Utility ----------------------- This option scans the FC loop and lists all the connected devices by loop ID. You can select a FC hard disk and do one of the following: 1) Perform a low-level format. 2) Verify the disk media. 3) Verify the disk data. (Some targets do not support this option) 4) Select a disk device CAUTION! Performing a low-level format destroys all data on the disk. 5.4. Loopback Data Test ----------------------- This option allows you to perform a Loopback test. Make sure that the FC loop is up or a Loopback plug is attached to the adapter before starting the test. *** Note *** If your HBA is attached to a fabric switch port, the HBA and Switch port must be set to run in Arbitrated Loop mode. 5.5. Select Host Adapter ------------------------ If you have multiport or multiple 4Gb adapters in your system, use this option to select and then configure or view the settings of a specific adapter port or adapter. Important!!! ------------ After making changes to the port of QLogic HBA in Fast!Util, escape to the top level menu, and make sure you save the changes before you reboot the system. ====================================================================== 6. FlasUtil Command Line Options The executable file Flasutil.exe is used by the UPDATE.BAT file to update your Fibre Channel adapter BIOS. The application FlasUtil.exe, may also be used to read, write and verify the multi-boot image or parameters on the Fibre Channel adapter. The following paragraphs describe the command line options available with this utility. Use of Flasutil will modify the way your Fibre Channel adapter operates, and it must be used with extreme caution. Default Options --------------- Enter Flasutil will list QLogic adapters at different I/O addresses. Enter adapter I/O address for menu options. Flasutil /? for command line details. Boot Code only -------------- /FB xxxx = Writes 1MB complete boot image to the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Using this option without an address writes the complete boot image to all adapters. /CB xxxx = Verifies the 1MB complete boot image of Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Using this option without an address verifies the complete boot image of all adapters. /WB xxxx = Copies the 1MB complete boot image from the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx to a file (for example, QL25ROM.SAV). /F xxxx = Writes BIOS code to the Fibre Channel adapter at I/O address = xxxx. Using this option without an address writes BIOS code to all adapters. If the Fibre Channel adapter already contains a valid BIOS, this option preserves the existing NVRAM contents. /C xxxx = Verifies the image of the BIOS on the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Using this option without an address verifies the BIOS images of all adapters. /W xxxx = Copies the image of the BIOS from the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx into a file (for example, QL24ROM.SAV). /O = Use instead of q2xyyzzz.bin. /V xxxx = Displays current version of the BIOS on adapters at address xxxx. Using this option without an address displays the BIOS version of all adapters. NVRAM only ---------- /l xxxx = Write NVRAM to adapter at I/O address xxxx. /D xxxx = Copy NVRAM to file: QLxxNVR.SAV, adapter address = xxxx. /N = Use instead of NVRAMxx.DAT. /X xxxx = Verify NVRAM of adapter at address xxxx. Firmware only ------------- /FR xxxx = Writes firmware to the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Using this option without an address writes firmware to all adapters. /CR xxxx = Verifies the firmware on the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Using this option without an address verifies firmware of all adapters. /WR xxxx = Copies the image of the firmware from the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx to a file. /VR xxxx = Displays current version of the firmware on adapters at address xxxx. Using this option without an address displays the firmware version of all adapters. Other options: -------------- /S xxxx = Displays the serial number of the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Entering this option without an address displays the serial number of all adapters. /Y xxxx = Displays the port name of the Fibre Channel adapter at address xxxx. Entering this option without an address displays the port name of all adapters. /I = Ignore Subsystem ID. /Q = Quiet mode, which does not display any messages. For example, for adapters with previously valid flash and NVRAM contents, use the following command line options: * To update the flash on a QLogic adapter: c:\>flasutil /fb /o q2xyyzzz.bin * To update the firmware code (only) on a QLogic adapter: c:\>flasutil /fr /o 2x00.bin 6.1 Additional Notes ------------------- * If FC RAID target was used in a Cluster Environment,We recommend the setting for Enable Target Reset = Enabled (Advanced Adapter Settings). * Use /I option if Flash Utility does not detect your controller. * Some FlasUtil options may require the use of an external filename instead of the default file. For example: C:\Flasutil /C /O q2xyyzzz.bin ====================================================================== 7.

Diagnostic Commands ----------------------- To execute any of the diagnostic commands, first select the device as described in section 3, above. Then enter the command. The diagnostc commands described in this section include: Version: List FCode version. beacon : Flashing Adapter's LED. selftest : Test Adapter memory and loopback. ext-loopback-test : Test external Loopback. show-children : List all attached targets. disk-test: Test a selected target. sel-dev: Select a device for disk-test. sel-lun: Selet LUN # for disk-test. 5.A. Version command -------------------- To display the current FCode and Firmware version, simply type "version". Example: ok 0 > version QLogic QMI2462 Host Adapter FCode(IBM): X Y Firmware version Z ok 0 > NOTE: Where X = FCode Version,Y = Date of FCode version release and Z = Firmware version 5.B. Beacon support ------------------- Beacon is a feature to allow a specific host adapter to be visually located easily. When the feature is activated, the yellow and amber LEDs on the back of the adapter will flash at approximately one second intervals. To enable the feature do the following: 1. Select the host adapter device you wish to locate as described in section 3, above. 2. Enter: "beacon" The following message is displayed: Flashing adapter LEDs, type any character to quit - The yellow and amber LEDs on the selected host adapter will flash until any character is entered on the keyboard. NOTE: For multi-channel host adapters, only one channel's LED will flash. NOTE: This feature does not apply to QMI2462 and QMI2562 mezz. cards. 5.C. Selftest ------------- Note: It is recommended using a Loopback plug. This will insure that the external loopback test will be executed. To execute selftest, simply enter "selftest .". Example: ok 0 > selftest . nvram ok FCode Checksum OK Testing memory, pattern 0 - PASS Testing memory, pattern ffffffff - Passed Testing memory, pattern 55aa5555 - Passed Testing memory, pattern aaaa55aa - Passed Testing memory, pattern a55aa55a - Passed Testing memory, pattern 5b5a5a6a - Passed Testing memory, pattern ff00f0f0 - Passed Testing memory, pattern 1ff00f0e - Passed 10-bit Internal Loopback Test - Passed 1-bit Internal Loopback Test - Passed ok 0 > 5.D. ext-loopback-test command ------------------------------- The ext-loopback-test method allows the user to manually execute the external looback test. Selftest will skip this test if the HBA device is attached to a Switch. The Diag Echo command is used instead of the loopback command if the topology is either F-port or FL-port (i.e. a Switch). The Diag Echo command is not supported by all FC Switches. Therefore, it is skipped during Selftest. Example: ext-looback-test Switch Diag Echo Loopback Test - Passed ok 0 > 5.E. show-children command --------------------------- The probe-scsi-all command will show all of the SCSI Target/Luns attached to the system by executing the show-children method of all devices with the device-type property set to "scsi" or "scsi-fcp". To show the Targets and Luns of a single HBA, select the HBA device as described in section 3, above. Then enter "set-mode". Example: ok 0 > show-children Adapter portID - 10800 ************** Fabric Attached Devices ************** Dev# 0(0) PortID 10b9b Port WWN 216000c0fff02f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 1(1) PortID 10b9d Port WWN 216000c0ffe02f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 2(2) PortID 10b9e Port WWN 216000c0ffd02f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 3(3) PortID 10b9f Port WWN 216000c0ffc02f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 4(4) PortID 10ba3 Port WWN 216000c0ffb02f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 5(5) PortID 10ba7 Port WWN 216000c0ff802f95 LUN 0(0) SUN StorEdge 3510 421D Dev# 6(6) PortID 10ba9 Port WWN 216000c0ff702f95 LUN 0(0) DISK SUN StorEdge 3510 421D LUN 1(1) DISK SUN StorEdge 3510 421D LUN 2(2) DISK SUN StorEdge 3510 421D LUN 3(3) DISK SUN StorEdge 3510 421D LUN 4(4) DISK SUN StorEdge 3510 421D ok 0 > 5.F. disk-test command ----------------------- The disk-test was added as a diagnostic tool to allow the user to perform as simple, non-destructive, read/write data test to a selected target. To execute disk-test, follow these steps, below. 1. Select the HBA device as described in section 3, above. 2. Execute show-children Pick a target (Dev#) and LUN from the listed devices. 3. Login to the target by typing: " sel-dev" Example: 7 sel-dev (will login to Dev# 7) 4. Select a LUN. by typing: " sel-lun" Example: 4d sel-lun (will select LUN 4d, hex) Note: You may skip this step if the LUN # =0, which is the default. 5. Execute disk-test by typing "disk-test". disk-test will perform a read-write-read-compare test to the selected target, 64 blocks (32k bytes) at a time. While it is running it will display the current disk block address. The test can be terminated by pressing any key. The disk-test command can also be used to locate a particular target, if there is an activity LED on the target. ============================================================================== 6. Updating FCode on adapter ---------------------------- You can update the FCode using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager or the SCLI application. Before flashing the FCode, the latest QLogic/Sun Solaris HBA driver must be installed. Copy the multi-boot binary file Q25xxyyy.BIN on Sun Sparc System under root(/) directory. For procedures on updating FCode using the SANsurfer applications, see the FC HBA Manager Online Help and the SCLI User's Guide. ============================================================================== 7. Building a FC bootable FC Disk --------------------------------- To build SANboot FC boot disk on IBM platforms, you must install it from CD/DVD. Place Disk 1 in the CD/DVD drive of either AIX 5.3(PPC), Linux RHEL 5.3(PPC), Linux SLES 10 SP2(PPC). If you are on an IBM Blade server, be sure that your blade is is the 'Media tray owner'. On the BCH browser window, select: Blade Tasks->Remote Control->Remote Control Status. Then select your blade in the Media tray owner box, and hit the 'Refresh' button.
