Procedure
1. Run the firmwareupdate command. A list of adapter serial numbers (for UCNAs)
or port WWNs (for FC adapters) are displayed, applicable to the firmware file
specified.
2. Select the adapter or port option to use for the update. List, Range, All or Choice
options are displayed.
The firmware update process begins and returns the result for each adapter or port.
3. If you press <Ctrl> + <C> and the firmware update process has started on any
adapter or port, the update continues. But if the firmware update process is queued,
the update is cancelled.
Note: The optional argument [all|WWNs|MACs] updates the firmware without
any user prompt. Either all or a combination of WWNs and MACs can be
given as an option.
You can view the status of submitted firmware jobs on the Maintenance tab of the
cluster or host.

Description
The command shows the active and configured (after reboot) adapter port
configurations including the total number of ports, the maximum number of FCoE and

concurrent mode storage. The number of functions per port depends upon the current

functions per port than are actually running on the host.
