oslpcfg readconfig n=<adapter number> r=<region number> l=<byte count>

The following example reads the configuration for adapter #1, region 0, byte count 20:

oslpcfg readconfig n=1 r=0 l=20

Sample Response:

00000000: 10000000 c93ccce08

Firmware and Boot Code Download Commands

Downloading a File (download)

This command downloads a firmware or boot code file to a specific adapter.
The adapter name is the name that appears when you run the listHBA command. For

more information on the listHBA command, see “Viewing All Adapters in the System

(listhba)” on page 494.
To download a firmware image file to an adapter specified by its number, type

oslpcfg download n=<adapter number> i=<firmware image filename>

The following example downloads the zb200a1.prg (x86) BootBIOS file to adapter # 6;

in this example, the x86 BootBIOS file is for an LPe11000 adapter:

oslpcfg download n=6 i=zb200a1.prg

Note: Boot code on OneConnect and 16Gb adapters is updated by downloading

firmware. LPcfg does not support updating boot code separately these adapters.

Accessing the Flash Device Directly (directdownload)

This command directly accesses the flash device on the adapter without using the

adapter firmware. This feature is useful in downloading a ROM file image if the

firmware has been corrupted. The adapter name is the name that appears when you

run the listHBA command. You can also use “default” for the adapter name if there is

only one single-channel adapter or one dual-channel adapter in the system. For more

information on the listHBA command, see “Viewing All Adapters in the System

(listhba)” on page 494.

Notes:

You cannot use directdownload in a script file.

UCNAs and LPe16000 family of adapters do not support directdownload.

You can use this feature on the following Emulex adapters:LP21000 and LP21002.
