and reset HBA, and then pressing ENTER. This saves your changes and resets
all ports on the HBA.
To update the firmware with these changes, type the number for Refresh, and
then press ENTER. If you do not select this option, your changes will not be visible
in SANsurfer iSCSI HBA CLI
Update BIOS/UEFI [or FCode] Code Image
(CLI Option -bootcode)
This menu option varies, depending on your system architecture (automatically
detected by SANsurfer iSCSI HBA CLI). Bootcode (that is, the bootable code
image) is either BIOS, FCode, or EFI that allows system boot from an iSCSI drive.
Select the Update BIOS/UEFI Image or Update FCode Code Image option to
update the bootcode code image, which should be done when QLogic releases a
new bootcode with bug fixes or enhancements. At the prompt, type the name of
the file containing the bootcode code image to upload to the HBA.
For information on bootcode file names, see Appendix E Downloadable File
Names.
Update Firmware Image
(CLI Option -f)
The firmware is the code running on the HBA to perform the tasks involved in data
management, the iSCSI protocol, and general HBA functioning.
Select the Update Firmware Image option to update the firmware image. At the
prompt, type the name of the file containing the firmware image to upload to the
HBA.
