9 Offline Utilities
Overview
QLogic provides offline adapter configuration and Flash programming utilities with
the adapter multi-boot code for advanced users. The following utilities are
available for adapters installed in both BIOS and UEFI servers:
 Fast!UTIL
 EFICFG
 FlasUTIL
 EFIUTIL
The Fast!UTIL and EFICFG configuration utilities enable advanced users to
customize the configuration of the QLogic 8100 Series Adapter and connected
Fibre Channel devices. Fast!UTIL is for adapters installed in BIOS-based severs,
and the EFICFG utility is for adapters installed in UEFI servers.
The FlasUTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are for advanced users primarily to update the
multi-boot image (including firmware) on QLogic 8100 Series Adapters. These
utilities can also display BIOS/UEFI version information, perform advanced
debugging, and collect support information. The FlasUTIL utility is for BIOS
servers, and the EFIUTIL utility is for UEFI servers.
CAUTION!
The Fast!UTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are only for advanced users. If the
configuration settings are incorrect, the adapter may become inoperable. Do
not change the configuration settings from the default values, unless
instructed to do so by QLogic Technical Support or by QLogic
documentation. The default adapter settings are designed for a typical
Microsoft Windows installation and generally do not require changes.
CAUTION!
The FlasUTIL and EFIUTIL utilities are only for advanced users. Use caution
when making changes with these utilities—mistakes are not easily reversed.
