Updating using CP00xxxx.scexe
To update the iSCSI boot option ROM on all iSCSI capable adapters, HP NC-Series Broadcom Online
Firmware Upgrade Utility for Linux called CP00xxxx.scexe is provided in the \linux\fwupgrade folder in
the HP ProLiant Networking SoftPaq. Two components are provided in the directory, one for x86 and one
for x86_64. Read the CP00xxxx.txt file to determine the component needed for the required system
architecture.
The HP NC-Series Broadcom Online Firmware Upgrade Utility for Linux does not install iSCSI firmware. It
only upgrades iSCSI if iSCSI is already installed on the adapter. It can also update to iSCSI if PXE is
already installed.
Updating iSCSI option ROM
To update to latest iSCSI boot option ROM image, complete the following steps.
1.
The firmware utility requires the adapter interface to be up and running. Bring up a network adapter
interface using the following command:
# ifup ethx
or
# ifconfig ethx up
2.
Update the firmware using the following command:
#./CPXXXXXX.scexe -s
