1.0 Overview
This is the current level
of microcode for the 10Gb FCoE PCIe Dual Port
Adapter, Feature Code 5708. This is a multifunction adapter. Each port can
support an ethernet and a fibre channel resource
simultaneously. To update the microcode for the entire adapter, only one of the
resources needs to be updated.

4.0 Cautions and Important Notes
The
microcode installation supports concurrent download while the fcs resources and
attached storage devices are available for use. HOWEVER, concurrent
download is not supported for the ent resources. If
the ent resources are in use, they must manually be
released prior to starting the download. Failure to do so will result in a
message instructing that the ent resource be freed.
NOTE: It is recommended that the installation be scheduled during a
maintenance window or during non-peak production periods.
- NOTICE FOR AIX CUSTOMERS INSTALLING 020111
MICROCODE
- AIX Requirements
Prior to installing the microcode, it is required that the following AIX
Service Packs be installed.
- AIX 6.1 Technology Level 4 Service
Pack 1 (6100-04-01-0944)
or use APAR IZ62438
- AIX 5.3 Technology Level 11 Service
Pack 1 (5300-11-01-0944)
or use APAR IZ62437
The Service Packs can be obtained from the IBM Fix Central website located at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/support/fixes.
5.0
To Determine Adapter Microcode Levels
Before installing the microcode, it is
important to determine the current microcode level of the adapter.
5.1 AIX
Systems
1. List the FCoE adapters installed in the system by typing on the
command line:
lsdev |grep -e fcs -e ent
Note the names of
all the FCoE adapters installed. FCoE
adapters will be identified as either 10 Gb FCoE PCI
Express Dual Port Adapter or 10 Gb Ethernet-SR PCI Express Dual Port Adapter.
The adapter names will be fcsX and/or entX, where X is 0, 1, or some other number.
2. Determine
the current microcode level on the adapter by typing on the command line:
lsmcode -d fcsX
or
lsmcode -d entX
where X is the number of the adapter's port returned from the "lsdev" command above.
When using lsmcode
-d fcsX, a screen similar to the following will
be displayed:
|
DISPLAY MICROCODE LEVEL
802111
fcs0
The current microcode level for fcs0 is 020123.
Use Enter to continue.
F3=Cancel
F10=Exit
Enter
|
If the current
microcode level is not 020123, then the microcode image on the adapter is not
at the latest level.
When using lsmcode -d entX,
a screen similar to the following will be displayed:
|
DISPLAY MICROCODE LEVEL
802111
ent0
The current microcode level for ent0 is 020123.
Use Enter to continue.
F3=Cancel
F10=Exit
Enter
|
If the current
microcode level is not 020123, then the microcode image on the adapter is not
at the latest level.

5.2 Linux Systems
The following steps
assume you are logged on with root permissions, QLogic CLI Management
Application has been installed, and at least one 10Gb FCoE
PCIeDual Port Adapter, Feature Code 5708, is
installed in the system.
Linux Management
Application Prerequisite:
A QLogic text mode
CLI Management Application is required to view and update microcode image on
the adapter. If the QLogic CLI application is already installed on your
system, it should not need to be reinstalled. To determine if CLI is
installed on your system, type the following on the command line.
which scli
Output will display
the pathname to the CLI application if it is installed on the system:
/usr/local/bin/scli
If the CLI
application is installed, continue with section Determine Adapter Microcode
Levels for Linux.
The QLogic CLI Management Application can be
downloaded and installed from the QLogic IBM OEM web page located at:
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/IBM.aspx?companyid=6
This is a top level page for a variety of
IBM products. Select the “Converged Network Adapters” link under “IBM
Power System”..
From the table titled “IBM CNA Server
Adapter Management Tools”, download and install “QLogic FCoE CLI Management Application for Linux (PPC64)”.
The “Readme” file contains
installation instructions.
Upon successful installation of the CLI Management Application continue with Determine Adapter Microcode Levels for Linux
Determine Adapter
Microcode Levels for Linux
Determine
the current microcode level on the adapter's port by typing on the command
line:
scli -i all vpd

Install RPM Package
6.1 AIX
RPM Package
Use this method to
install the AIX RPM package on an AIX system. Note that the commands are case
sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown, including file names.
1. NOTE:
-
"/etc/microcode" is a symbolic link to "/usr/lib/microcode".
- If permission
does not allow the copy to the above state
directory or file then the user will be prompted for a new location.
2. Transfer the RPM
format file, 771001801410af03.020123.aix.rpm to any temporary directory on the
target system.
3. Unpack the file. On the command line type:
rpm -ihv --ignoreos 771001801410af03.020123.aix.rpm
4. If the microcode
package unpacks successfully, the microcode file will be added to the /etc/micrococde directory.
If a message is
received saying the "package <package_name>
is already installed", you will need to uninstall the rpm package. On the
command line type:
rpm -e <package_name>
where <package_name> is the name of the package that was
returned in the message. Return to step 3 and attempt to unpack the file again.
5. Verify the file
size and sum of the 771001801410af03.020123 file in /etc/microcode.
On the command line type:
For the file size:
ls -al
771001801410af03.020123
For the sum:
sum
771001801410af03.020123
The ouput of these commands should be:
file size: 808592
sum: 27296

6.2
Linux RPM Package
Use this method to
install the Linux RPM package on a Linux system. Note that the Linux commands

names.
1. Transfer the
Linux rpm file, 771001801410af03.020123.Linux.rpm, to a directory on the
target system, /tmp
is used in this example.
2. Unpack the rpm
file. On the command line type :
rpm -ihv
/tmp/771001801410af03.020123.Linux.rpm
3. If the microcode package unpacks successfully, the microcode file
will be added to the /lib/firmware directory.
If a message is
displayed indicating the "package <package_name>
is already installed", you will need to uninstall the rpm package. On the
command line type:
rpm -e <package_name>
where <package_name> is the name of the package that was
returned in the message. Return to step 2 and attempt to unpack the file
again.
4. Verify the file
size and sum of the 771001801410af03.020123 file in /lib/firmware directory. On the command line
type:
For the file size:
ls -al /lib/firmware/771001801410af03.020123
For the sum:
sum
/lib/firmware/771001801410af03.020123
The ouput of these
commands should be:
file size: 808592
sum: 27296
