3. Update and Enable Boot Code
Use Emulex utilities to install boot code, update boot code to a newer version, and
enable boot code. The utility that you will use depends on the operating system and, in
some cases the driver type or system architecture. Table 3-1 indicates the utilities you
can use to install and update boot code, and Table 3-2, Utilities that Enable Boot Code
indicates the utilities you can use to enable boot code.
After you decide which utility to use, see the appropriate procedure:
 OneCommand Manager utility: See the OneCommand Manager User Manual.
 HBAcmd utility: See the OneCommand Manager User Manual.
 EFI utility: See “EFIBoot” on page 51.
 emlxadm: See the FCA Utilities User Manual.
 Offline utility: See the Offline and Online Adapter Management Utilities User
Manual.
