Using LPUTILNT Utility/NT

Introduction

The 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) utility
(LPUTILNT.EXE) is an executable file located in the platform specific
directory of the supplied software kit. Run the utility from the CD or copy and
run it from your local hard drive.

NOTE: The LPUTILNT Utility/NT requires that the SCSI Miniport driver be installed and
connected to at least one drive before it can operate properly or the registry parameter
Simulate Device=1 be set.

The LPUTILNT Utility/NT is a Windows NT-based Graphical User Interface
(GUI) that lets you:

View HBA parameters

Perform HBA firmware maintenance

Download PCI configuration files (CFL)

Modify driver parameters in the Windows NT registry

These parameters have been set by the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM) setup file provided in the software kit. The fibre channel setup file, run
as part of the platform kit configuration, will also modify them. The resulting
parameter setting has been modified to provide the optimal setting for the
supported configurations.
