Image Version Display (/iv)
Usage:
/iv=
The image version display switch displays the firmware image file’s version number.
Example usage:
./elxflash /iv=firmware/A11460.grp
1.1.46.0
Note: The image version display switch requires a path to the firmware image file in
order to decode image file's version.
Log (/log)
Usage:
/log=
The log switch appends the output of the Adapter Management Utility to a text file.
Log can be used with any switch.
Preview (/p)
Usage:
/p
The preview switch provides a download preview of all adapters that the Adapter
Management Utility can update using either auto-discovery or the fwmatrix.txt file.
The preview switch can be used with any of the operational switches, such as:

/ff

/fb

/downgrade

/rewrite

/update
When the preview switch is used, the Adapter Management Utility displays a
download summary, but does not actually perform the download.
Each adapter's download preview displays the adapter's old and new image version.
The old image version represents the image version that is currently on the adapter.
The new image version represents the image version that the Adapter Management
Utility would use during a download.
Example usage:
./elxflash /preview /auto /update
– Previews an upgrade of firmware or boot
code using auto-discovery.

The fwmatrix.txt file is ignored. You must place the desired update versions of
firmware or boot code in their respective directories.
