frames to the controller, and processing reply message frames received
from the controller.
The LSI Logic firmware translates Fusion-MPT message frames into
FC-specific sequences, frames, and primitives that are delivered to the
FC transmit and receive physical interfaces. The firmware-based
Link Services library transparently provides all link service support that the
host uses for all FC topologies. The firmware also manages all link
exceptions, which isolates the host driver from FC-unique exceptions. With
the Fusion-MPT architecture, parallel SCSI host drivers can be used with
the LSI Logic FC controllers with little or no additional functionality for FC.
3.2 Download New FC Firmware
To begin, you must first download new host adapter firmware
component(s) from the LSI Logic web site (www.lsilogic.com). Type the
following address into your preferred browser:
http://drivers.lsilogic.com
The web page presents three drop-down menus under Find Specific
Products. Make the following selections:
Step 1. Select Storage Adapters.
Step 2. Select Fibre Channel HBAs.
Step 3. Select LSI7202XP-LC (or other 2 Gbit/s LSI Logic host
adapter).
Step 4. Check the box next to BIOS/Firmware. Then click the Go
button.
This search locates the latest BIOS/Firmware available for your host
adapter. Save the file to your hard drive. You may have to unzip this file.
Typically, the download will contain three separate files:
FC929X.ROM —LSI Logic Firmware update
MPTBIOS.ROM —LSI Logic Boot BIOS update
LSI9x9f.ROM —LSI Logic Fcode update
