Emulex Firmware Upgrade (solaris)

You will require the following files before you begin the upgrade:

 

1.Copy configuration files
   # cp -p /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf.date
   # cp -p /kernel/drv/sd.conf /kernel/drv/sd.conf.date
   # cp -p /kernel/drv/st.conf /kernel/drv/st.conf.date
   # cp -p /etc/path_to_inst /etc/path_to_inst.date

2.Copy Driver / Firmware updates from shared area to local disk
   # mkdir /var/tmp/emulex
   # cp –p /proj/gissmo/HBA/EMC/Emulex/* /var/tmp/emulex/

3.Shutdown server to single user mode
   # reboot -- -rs

4.Remove the HBAnyware package
   # pkgrm HBAnyware

5.Remove the lpfc driver
   # pkgrm lpfc

6.Copy back the saved path_to_inst file
   # cp –p /etc/path_to_inst.date /etc/path_to_inst

7.Untar the file containing the driver, apps, driver and the Emulex Application Kit
   # tar xvf solaris-2.1a18-6.02f-1a.tar
   # tar xvf lpfc-6.02f-sparc.tar
   # pkgadd –d .
   # tar xvf EmlxApps300a39-Solaris.tar
   # gunzip HBAnyware-*-sparc.tar.gz
   # tar xvf HBAnyware-*-sparc.tar
   # pkgadd –d .                      Note: Select the package for HBAnyware

8.Revert sd.conf file
   # cp –p /kernel/drv/sd.conf /kernel/drv/sd.conf.post_upgrade
   # cp –p /kernel/drv/sd.conf.date /kernel/drv/sd.conf

9.Convert lpfc.conf file from version 5 to version 6
   # /usr/sbin/lpfc/update_lpfc /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf.date /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf >      /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf.updated
   # cp -p /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf_post_upgrade
   # cp /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf.upgrated /kernel/drv/lpfc.conf

10.Reboot system back into single user mode
   # reboot -- -rs

11.Copy firmware into /usr/sbin/lpfc
   # cd /var/tmp/emulex
   # unzip cd392a2.zip
   # cp –p cd392a3.awc /usr/sbin/lpfc/

12.Update firmware
   # cd /usr/sbin/lpfc
   # ./lputil
      > Select option 3 for – Firmware Maitenance
      > Select adaptor number to update
      > Select option 1 for – Load Firmware Image
      > Type in the full name of the image : - cd392a3.awc

      Repeat above steps for all Emulex HBA’s
