FCoE adapters include an additional chip component which requires
the latest supported firmware. This chip is commonly referred to as a
CEE (converged enhanced ethernet) or "Menlo" chip, the purpose of
which is to handle the convergence of storage (FC) and network (IP)
traffic over a single ethernet interface.
To update the CEE/Menlo firmware on the CNAs, follow these steps:

Refer to “Upgrading the adapter BIOS” on page 37 for installation
instructions.
2. Copy the appropriate CEE/Menlo firmware file from the
CD-ROM or the EMC-approved section of the QLogic website to
the appropriate directory:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI
3. Execute the following command:
/opt/QLogic_Corporation/SANsurferCLI/scli.
4. Select options 10 (Utilities), then 6 (FCoE Utility), then 1 (FCoE
Engine), and then 1 (Update Firmware).
5. The utility prompts to enter a file name. Enter the name of the
CEE/Menlo firmware file obtained in Step 2. The utility should
report the update has completed successfully.
6. Press Enter to return to the main menu, then select options 0
(Return to Main Menu), then 15 to exit the SANsurfer CLI utility.
7. Reboot the host for the new CEE/Menlo firmware update to take
effect.
