Procedure
1. Run the firmwareupdate command. A list of adapter serial numbers (for UCNAs)
or port WWNs (for FC adapters) are displayed, applicable to the firmware file
specified.
2. Select the adapter or port option to use for the update. List, Range, All or Choice
options are displayed.
The firmware update process begins and returns the result for each adapter or port.
3. If you press + and the firmware update process has started on any
adapter or port, the update continues. But if the firmware update process is queued,
the update is cancelled.

Description
The command shows the active and configured (after reboot) adapter port
configurations including the total number of ports, the maximum number of FCoE and
iSCSI functions that can be defined, and if the adapter allows mixed mode storage and
concurrent mode storage. The number of functions per port depends upon the current
setup of the adapter (i.e. mixed or concurrent storage mode, multichannel, NPar).
Depending upon the presence of NParEP on a host, this command may show more
functions per port than are actually running on the host.
