The QLogic EFI Driver Configuration protocol displays and modifies configuration
parameters stored in the adapter NVRAM. The QLogic EFI Driver Diagnostic
protocol provides a minimal set of adapter diagnostics. Both protocols are
provided as part of the QLogic EFI SCSI pass-thru (SPT) protocol driver. Either
protocol may be invoked from the EFI shell. Each protocol uses a menu-driven
interface to allow the user to display and modify adapter configuration and
diagnostic parameters. Both protocols support EFI and UEFI systems.
During the configuration process, all changes are made to a local copy of the
NVRAM. The changes may be committed to the adapter NVRAM by using the
Write selection on the Main Menu. Prior to using this selection, changes to the
local copy may be abandoned by using the Abandon or Quit selections on the
Main Menu.
To start the Configuration protocol from the EFI shell procedure:
1. Type the following command:
drivers
2. A list of installed EFI drivers is displayed in table form. Under the heading
Driver Name, find the driver with name OEM Fibre Channel Driver (where
OEM is QLogic or an OEM name). Notice the driver’s handle number in the
DRV column (this number is known as driverhandle).
There may be one or more driver instances listed. If only one driver instance
is listed, then it is managing one or more adapters. If more than one driver
instance is listed, then each instance is managing a subset of the available
adapters.
3. Type the following command:
drvcfg driverhandle
A list of adapters that are managed by this driver is displayed. Notice the
controller handle number inside the brackets labeled Ctrl [ ] (this number is
known as controllerhandle).
4. Type the following command to start the Configuration protocol:
drvcfg –s driverhandle controllerhandle
