Command Line Update Tool for DOS

Using a DOS bootable floppy, users can use a FC Flash Utility called

MPTUtil

to update LSI Logic adapters with new firmware (

Section 3.2,

“Download New FC Firmware,” on page 3-3

). This section provides the

procedure for operating this program.

Note:

The MPTUtil program will not operate properly from a
windows command window. It must be run from a DOS
floppy.

Running the MPTUtil Program – Use the MPTUtil program to update
the LSI Logic FC firmware on any 4 Gbit/s host adapter. Locate the

MPTUtil.exe

program and FC949X.ROM code on your distribution media,

as well as the DOS4GW.exe file. Copy these files to a blank, formatted
diskette. Label it “FC Firmware diskette.”

To update the firmware, complete the following steps:

Step 1.

Ensure that the host adapter is properly installed in the system
PCI slot.

Step 2.

Insert the LSI Logic FC firmware diskette into drive A:.

Step 3.

Boot the system to the DOS prompt A:\>.

Step 4.

Execute the MPTUtil program directly from the DOS command
line by typing at the prompt:

A:\ MPTutil

The MPTUtil program identifies all LSI Logic host adapters in the
system, and allows you to select which adapter to update (

).
