4. Offline Adapter Management Utility Command Line Interface

Running the Standalone Adapter Management Utility

486

The elxflash.bat script is used to configure the environment, run elxflash, and revert

any changes before exiting. This script installs the MILI service if it is not installed.
The winlpcfg.bat script is used to configure the environment, run winlpcfg, and

revert any changes before exiting. This script installs the MILI service if it is not

installed.

Notes:

The MILI service is temporarily installed. The service is removed once the script

execution is completed.

If OneCommand Manager is installed, the OneCommand Manager libraries are

used by the elxflash and winlpcfg utilities.

The winlpcfg.bat and elxflash.bat scripts call the native versions of elxflash.exe

and winlpcfg.exe. For example, on Windows x64, the 64-bit utilities are called.

The adapter being managed by the Standalone Adapter Management utility

must not be managed simultaneously by other Emulex utilities including

OneCommand Manager.

To display a list of HBAs in Windows, type

# winlpcfg.bat listhba

Each time elxflash or lpcfg is run, a log file is created. On Windows these files are

called:

C:\clu\log\elxflash.log

C:\clu\log\winlpcfg.log

Linux

Note: Running 32-bit applications on Linux x86_64 is not supported. The .bat file only

runs native executable files.

current operating system architecture.
