Load EFIBoot Using HBAnyware

Prerequisites

  • One of the following drivers is installed properly:

    • SCSIport Miniport driver for Windows Server 2003

    • Storport Miniport driver for Windows Server 2003

    • FC Port driver for Windows Server 2003

    • Emulex driver for Linux

  • HBAnyware has been installed properly.

  • The EFIBoot files have been downloaded from the Emulex Web site to the Emulex Repository folder (RMRepository). This folder is in the Program Files folder.

  • The EFIBoot file has been extracted into the Emulex Repository folder.

Caution If you are downloading EFIBoot on an HBA attached to the remote system disk, the EFI Utility is recommended to perform the download.

Loading Procedure

  1. Start HBAnyware.

  2. In the discovery tree (left pane), click the adapter to which you want to load the firmware.

  3. In the property tabs (right pane), select the Firmware tab.

  4. On the Firmware tab, click the Browse button. The Select Firmware File browse window is displayed.

  5. Browse to the Emulex Repository. Select the EFIBoot file to download and click OK. A status bar displays the progress of the download. During this time the host bus adapter (or adapters) in the discovery tree is displayed in red text, indicating that it is offline. It is displayed in black text when the update is complete.

  6. Reboot the system.

If you are updating EFIBoot on a dual-channel HBA, repeat steps 2 through 5 to update the EFIBoot on the second port.

Note If the state of the boot code message on the board has changed, this change will be reflected immediately on the Details tab.
