Summary

This article describes how to update the firmware on an Emulex HBA card.

Requirements

XenServer versions 5.x and 6.x

Procedure

Warning! If the Emulex card is re-branded from a third party vendor such as HP, you must obtain the firmware from the third party vendor. Updating the Emulex firmware directly from Emulex might void support/warranty of the product and can cause hardware failure.

To update the firmware on an Emulex HBA card, complete the following procedure:

• Open XenServer command line interface and run the following command:
  #hbacmd listhbas

This lists the details of all HBA ports on your Host.
Example: #hbacmd listhbas
Manageable HBA List
Port WWN : 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:42
Node WWN : 20:00:00:00:c9:49:28:42
Fabric Name: 10:00:00:60:69:80:2d:ee
Flags : 8000f980
Host Name : server01
Mfg : Emulex Corporation

• Copy the Port WWN numbers for all the HBA ports to a notepad.

• Download the corresponding .ufi firmware update file for the HBA card form the Emulex site.

• Place the .ufi file into the /tmp directory within the XenServer, using either WinSCP or FileZilla.

• Install the HBA firmware update on each HBA port:
  #hbacmd download <Port WWN> /tmp/<name of the firmware update file>
  Example: #hbacmd download 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47 /tmp/oc11-4.1.402.20.ufi

• Repeat step 5 for all HBA port WWN numbers.

• Restart the XenServer.

• To verify if the firmware update has been successfully updated, run the following command:
  #hbacmd HBAAttrib <Port WWN>
  Example: #hbacmd HBAAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

• Search for the line:
  FW Version : 1.91A1 (H2D1.91A1)
