c-Class servers Emulex update

Jani Pajula — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 09:14:08 GMT

Hi!

Has someone found a way to update c-Class server's Emulex HBA BIOS and FW from DOS with lp6dutil? I have tried several DOS-versions (Bart, www.allbootdisks.com, Win98 etc) but did not get it working. I tried to use local USB CD-ROM, USB-stick and also to mount the ISO-file from iLO.
I also used "HP Drive Key Boot Utility" to make my USB-stick bootable, but could not fit anything else on that stick, because it's formatted into size 1,44MB.
Does anyone have a working solution for this?

Hi, you might or might not know another work-around would be updating the HBA online using "HBAnyWare". Thanks.

Yes, I know I can use HBAnyware (or just plain lputilnt) if there's OS already installed. However there's still "offline" utility available, but no boot disk for that.
