Flashing Firmware on First Controller
To update the HBA RISC firmware on the first controller, follow these steps:
1. At the fx0:\> prompt, enter mptutil -f <firmware_file> -c 0.
2. At the fs0:\> prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if omitted.
Another way for the firmware to be flashed is done without your knowledge. When mptutil is
executed, and a SAS HBA is in any state other than ready or operational, mptutil immediately
performs a firmware download boot. The firmware provided by you to do the firmware download
boot is immediately flashed after the firmware download boot has completed. The
mptutilcommand does this because the firmware only moves to the operational state if it is
running from flash and not memory. Operational state is needed to do everything else provided
in the utility.
Flashing BIOS and EFI Driver on the First Controller
To update the EFI driver on the first controller, follow these steps:
1. At the fs0:\> prompt, enter mptutil -o -g <Bios_File> <EFI_driver_file> -c
0.
2. At the fs0:\> prompt, enter reset.
The filename is optional and you are prompted for a filename if omitted.
