
If the update versions are higher than the currently installed versions on the
adapter, the Adapter Management Utility provides a download preview for
each adapter that can be updated.

If multiple update versions of firmware or boot code are found for an adapter,
the Adapter Management Utility provides a download preview using the most
recent versions.
./elxflash /preview
– Previews an upgrade of firmware or boot code using the
fwmatrix.txt file.

For each installed and supported adapter, the current firmware and boot code
versions are compared with the versions specified in fwmatrix.txt.

If the update versions in fwmatrix.txt are more recent than the currently
installed versions, the Adapter Management Utility provides a download
preview of firmware or boot code for each adapter that can be updated.

Process FC HBAs Only (/fc)
Usage:
/fc
The process FC HBAs only switch causes elxflash to act only on FC HBAs.
Example usage:
./elxflash /q /fc
- Only FC HBAs are displayed for a query.
./elxflash /auto /up /fc
- Applies auto update only to FC HBAs.
When doing a firmware or boot code update and the /fc switch is used, only FC HBAs
are updated; UCNAs are not displayed.
