Updating QLogic firmware/BIOS and applying NVRAM settings

You can update the HBA firmware/BIOS and NVRAM settings either

from within a running Windows installation or by booting the server

to a DOS command prompt and running the procedure described in

this section.

Current 64-bit systems can be updated only from within Windows

2003 using the SANsurfer SANblade Manager. Refer to “Updating

the flash BIOS using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager” on page 100 for

instructions.

SANsurfer 2.0.25 cannot be used to upgrade to BIOS 1.4x or later. If

you are updating on a system not running SANsurfer, use the

procedure described in the “Updating the flash BIOS using

SANsurfer FC HBA Manager” on page 100 to perform this upgrade.

CAUTION

Do not flash embedded HBAs using the HBA utilities noted in this

section.

Updating while running Windows

Many new servers are being shipped without floppy disk drives.

Without a floppy disk drive, it is impossible to update HBA BIOS.

QLogic SANsurfer software, used to manage and configure QLogic

HBAs from a Windows GUI, also allows users to update HBA BIOS

and firmware while Windows is running. SANsurfer is available

from the QLogic website (http://www.qlogic.com) under the EMC

OEM section.
