Update Firmware of HBA Qlogic on DL380 G5

[lee99]

I have downloaded the firmware update for a qlogic HBA card. It tells me i need to boot to DOS then run the "update" command. How do i do this. I've found some boot images but that gets me to DOS but when i attach the folder with the firmware files in i dont see anything, is there anything easier?

Will download freedos and make an iso or usb stick , also does many linux - downloads on the fly!

then copy the data to the usb stick to update I create a subdir called usb

boot up and choose "simple mode no drivers" This is not the default!!

cd usb

update.bat or whatever the script is

Great utility since it can create the linux cd's to run those CPxxxxx.SCEXE firmware updaters as well!
