Updating FCode on the QSB2340/2342 HBA
If you need to update the FCode on the QSB2340/2342 HBA, use the QLogic
qla2x00 flash utility. A QLogic Solaris SPARC driver revision 3.07 or later must be
installed before this flash utility can be run.
WARNING!!
Be very careful when changing flash contents; incorrect data may
render the QSB2340/2342 HBA unusable to the point that the
operating system may no longer function.
Perform the following steps to run the utility.
1. Copy the qla2x00fcode file and the 2312fs.prom file to the desired directory.
2. At the command line, enter the appropriate path. Use the information obtained
using the show-devs command (see section 4.3.4). For example:
qla2x00fcode -l /devices/sbus@1f,0/QLGC,qla@1,30000:
devctl 2312fs.prom
