User Diagnostics and Utilities: QLogic QME8242 Mezzanine Card User's Guide UPDATE.NSH is the UEFI script file used to update the adapter on a UEFI system. EFICFG.PDF is the Adapter Configuration and Diagnostic PDF. EFIUTIL.PDF is the Adapter EfiUtil Utility PDF. The preceding PDF files are included in the boot code release package, EFI directory. NOTE: All bin, uefi, and nsh files are required to update the adapter on a UEFI system. Supported Features The UEFI driver supports the following features: UEFI specification 1.10, 2.1 UEFI protocols: Extended SCSI Pass Thru, Block IO, SCSI IO, Driver Diagnostics, Driver Configuration, and Component Name 382 targets 2,047 LUNs per target Fabric topology Boot from SAN Compatible with RHEL 5.5 and SLES 11 SP 1 x64, and Windows Server 2008 x64 on UEFI Intel x64 based systems EFI Specification 1.10 and 2.1 Fibre Channel Adapter Configuration To configure the adapter parameters, refer to the EFICFG.PDF file included in the boot code release package, EFI directory. Updating the UEFI (EfiUtilx64) For systems that do not include a built-in UEFI Shell, obtain the UEFI Shell program from an open source site. For example: https://www.tianocore.org/ The EfiUtilx64 is a QLogic Flash programming utility for UEFI. To run the utility, boot the UEFI shell. Do not run this utility from a drive connected to a Converged Network Adapter. Make sure update.nsh, efiutilx64.efi, ql8xxx.drv, and p3pxxxxx.bin source files are in the same directory. To update the UEFI driver and RISC firmware on all adapters: 1. Unzip and copy the update kit files to the root level of a USB storage device. NOTE: Do not change or rearrange the kit directories or files that were unzipped and copied to the USB storage device. 2. Connect the USB device to the UEFI based system with the 8xxx adapters. 3. At the system's UEFI shell prompt, issue the map -r command to map the USB device file system. You can check the mapping as follows: map -b 4. Locate the USB device and change to that device. For example, if the USB device is mapped to fs9 after the map -r: fs9: The UEFI shell prompt should change as follows: fs9:\> 5. To update the UEFI driver and RISC firmware, run the update.nsh script. For example: fs9:> update.nsh Update.nsh calls efiutilx64.efi to update all of the adapters. 6. For the changes to take effect, power the system off, and then back on. To update NVRAM or perform other manual EfiUtilx64 flash functions, refer to the information in the file, efiutil.pdf. file:///T|/htdocs/NETWORK/QLogic/71922/en/diag_esx.htm[9/26/2012 4:26:13 PM]
