10. Updating Adapter Firmware
The OneCommand Manager application enables you to update firmware for a single
adapter or simultaneously for multiple adapters.
Updating Firmware for a Single Adapter
Using the Maintenance or Firmware tab, you can update firmware on local and remote
adapters. The firmware file must be downloaded from the Emulex website and
extracted to a local drive before you can perform this procedure. (Not available in
read-only mode.)

The Emulex driver must be installed.

The OneCommand Manager application must be installed.

The firmware zip file must be downloaded from the Emulex website, unzipped
and extracted to a folder on a local drive.

If the adapter is already connected to a boot device, the system must be in a
state in which this type of maintenance can be performed:

I/O activity on the bus has been stopped.

Cluster software, or any other software that relies on the adapter to be
available, is stopped or paused.
Note: For OEM branded adapters, see the OEM’s website or contact the OEM’s
customer service department or technical support department for the
firmware files.
Note: You cannot update firmware with the OneCommand Manager
application on a Sun-branded adapter.
To update firmware for a single adapter, adapter port or ASIC:
Note: For FC adapters you update the firmware on the port. (For example, multi-port
adapters require a firmware download on each port.) For OneConnect UCNAs
and OneConnect 16 Gb/s HBAs you update the firmware for the entire adapter.
For OneConnect dual ASIC 4-port 8 Gb/sec FC adapters, you update the
firmware on the ASIC. (For example, dual ASIC 4-port 8 Gb/sec FC adapters
require a firmware download on each ASIC.)
1. Select Host or Fabric view.
2. In the discovery-tree, select the adapter, FC port, or ASIC whose firmware you
want to update.
