EDC Firmware Update for QLogic 8Gb Fibre ChannelExpansion Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter

1

IntroductionThis document provides instructions for IBM®

technical personnel and system administrators on how to perform an EDC™ firmware update on a QLogic® 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card.

The EDC firmware update procedure consists of verifying/updating the OS driver version (see Section 3), and then updating the expansion card flash image and installing the EDC firmware image (see Section 4). The update may optionally be verified (see Section 5).

The firmware image must be appropriate for the type of switch connected to the expansion card:

QLogic 8Gb switch Brocade® 8Gb switch

2

Supported PlatformsThe following operating systems (OSs) are

supported:

RHEL 4.7, 4.8, 5.5, 5.6, 6.0, and 6.1

SLES 10.3, 10.4, 11, and 11.1

VMware® ESX/ESXi 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0

Windows® 2008, Windows 2008 R2

3

Verify/Update OS Driver Version

Before updating the EDC firmware, verify that the currently installed driver meets the minimum driver requirements listed in Table 3-1. The driver may be verified using either of the following methods:

If the QLogic SANsurfer® CLI (scli) utility is installed, the following command may be used:

scli -i

Note the following fields, as shown in Figure 3-1:

Driver Version Driver Firmware Version

If the scli utility is not installed, issue the following command that corresponds to your operating system:

RHEL 4.x:

$ cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/* | grep "Driver version"

RHEL 5.x/6.x, SLES 10/11:

$ cat /sys/module/qla2xxx/version

If the current OS driver or firmware version does not meet the minimum requirements, install an updated driver using the installation instructions supplied with the driver package.

Once the driver version meets the minimum requirements for the EDC update, update the Flash and EDC firmware images, as described in Section 4.

CAUTIONTo complete the update, you must reboot the system. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS BOOT. This boot will take slightly longer than usual. If the EDC programming process is interrupted, the expansion card will not function properly,

NOTE

PowerPC® platform only: Proceed directly to Section 4. You do not need to perform the procedure described in this section.

Using the ISO Image (PowerPC Only)

CU0251401-00 16 DRAFT 8

4.3


iOn PowerPC systems where the EDC update kit cannot be used, the ISO image option provides an interface for setting the required EDC firmware.

This method does not require the driver version to be verified; the driver will be loaded from the ISO image as needed.

4.3.1 Update Procedure

To update the firmware using an ISO image, follow these instructions:

1. Burn the ISO image (vt.boot.1.20.iso) to a CD-ROM and place it in the IBM BladeCenter media tray (optical media).

2. Using the Media Tray switch on the blade or the Remote Control capability in the BladeCenter GUI, set the media tray to be controlled by the blade being updated.

Power-on/reboot the PowerPC blade being updated and select the System Management Services (SMS) menu.

3. Select the bootable ISO using the standard IBM boot device selection menus, described in steps 3a through 3g. The first menu (Main Menu) is shown in Figure 4-5.

Subsequent EDC Update Methods

CU0251401-00 16 DRAFT 12

4.4

Subsequent EDC Update MethodsAfter you install the Flash image for the first

time, use scli or the following boot code methods to change the EDC firmware when changing switch types:

BIOS uEFI FCode (PowerPC blades only)

Update method availability depends on the hardware platform as defined in Table 4-2.

Each boot code method does the following:

1. Indicates for which switch (QLogic or Brocade) the EDC firmware type is currently set.

2. Allows you to update the expansion card’s global NVRAM flag that indicates which image to push to the EDC on the next reboot.

Rebooting the blade after selecting a new EDC image causes the following to occur:

1. The boot code comes up and checks the EDC load flag.

2. If the flag is not set, the boot process continues as normal.

3. If the flag is set, the boot code updates the EDC with the specified EDC code from Flash, resets the global NVRAM flag, sets the running flag, and then resets the QLogic chip on the card. Boot operation then resumes.

4.4.1

BIOSOn Windows, Linux, and VMware ESX/ESXi

platforms, the BIOS can select the EDC firmware image.

To use this method, follow these instructions:

1. Reboot the system.

2. Press CTRL+Q to enter the BIOS utility.

3. In the Advanced Adapter Settings menu (Figure 4-14), the EDC FW option shows the current setting for the EDC firmware.

4. Press ENTER when the EDC FW option is highlighted to change the setting.

5. Save the setting when prompted.

The EDC firmware is updated on the next boot sequence.

5. When the QLogic Main Menu appears, select Edit Advanced Settings. The Edit Advanced Settings screen appears, as shown in Figure 4-16.

Figure 4-16. Edit Advanced Settings Screen

6. The Current EDC field shows the current EDC settings. This field must match the installed IO module. This is a read-only field. Valid settings for this field are:

None: No EDC image is installed.

QLogic IO Module: QLogic FCSM (44X1905) or IPTM (44X1907) EDC image is installed.

Brocade IO Module: Brocade FCSM (44X1920) EDC image is installed.

Use the Update EDC field to change the EDC settings. Valid options for this field are:

None: No EDC changes are required.

QLogic IO Module: Install EDC image for QLogic FCSM (44X1905) or IPTM (44X1907) IO Module.

Brocade IO Module: Install EDC image for Brocade FCSM (44X1920) IO Module.

7. If the Current EDC field is set to None or to the wrong type of IO module, change the Update EDC field to the appropriate value, and then press ESC to save the change and return to the System Setup Main Menu.

The new EDC image will be programmed during the next system boot.
