13. Configuring UEFI for FCoE

Note: If you have several adapters in your system, the UEFI system firmware or boot

code uses the highest version driver installed on any of the adapters. Adapters

with older versions of EFIBoot are managed by the more recent version, but

only as long as the adapter with the most recent version is in the system. The

latest firmware and boot code must be installed on each adapter in the system to

ensure that each adapter runs the latest firmware and boot code.

Overview

UEFIBoot supports:

Single-topology – only Fabric point to-point is supported.

EFI protocols – all applicable UEFI 2.3 driver protocols are supported.

Operating systems – all UEFI-aware operating systems are supported.

Multi-Device path – fibre/SCSI device path is selectable through the driver

configuration application.

Multi-initiators – up to 256 ports are supported.

Multi-boot – eight targets are selectable through the driver configuration

application.

Multi-LUNs – up to 4096 LUNs are supported.

Multi-utility – setup and firmware updates are supported.

The Emulex FCoE UEFIboot is loaded from flash into system memory.
To verify that the Emulex UEFIBoot driver is loaded, enter the EFI Shell, type

drivers

”, and then press <Enter>.

Note: If you are using Dell adapters, refer to appendix F., “Dell UEFI,” on page 1762

for information on using the Dell UEFI utility.
