Configuring an EMC Boot Device

If a system contains of mixture of detected and undetected adapters,
any existing

EFI drivers loaded by EFI should be unloaded using the EFI Shell

drivers

, and

unload

commands. If you have not previously

installed EFI boot code to your QLogic HBA, skip this section.

1. Type

drivers

at the EFI shell prompt to display the list of loaded

EFI drivers. You will see an entry (or entries) similar to the
following:

5D 0000011E B X X 1 HP 2 Gb Fibre Channel Driver

PciRom Seg=00000000

5D 00000140 D X X 1 - Qlogic Fibre Channel Driver

PciRom Seg=00000000

2. The first column (in this example, 5D) is the driver handle for the

HBA. To unload the EFI boot code driver, use the unload
command:

unload 5D

3. After all instances of the QLogic EFI boot code driver are

unloaded, proceed to the next section.

To flash the HBA with the latest EFI boot code, copy the files from the
EFI boot code package to a floppy disk. If your system does not have
a floppy drive, a USB pen drive can be used instead. If your system is
already booted to the EFI shell, insert the floppy or USB pen drive
and type

exit

to exit the EFI shell. From the boot options menu,

select EFI Shell [Built-in] to go back into the EFI shell. This will
cause the EFI shell to re-discover disk devices and will locate the
floppy or pen drive.

When you enter the EFI shell, the device map should be displayed. If
it does not display, type

map

at the

shell>

prompt to display the list

of detected devices. Disk devices that are accessible by the EFI shell
are listed as

FS

devices. Switch to the device containing the EFI boot

code. This is accomplished by typing the name of the device and a
colon. For example, if the EFI boot code is on

fs1

, type

fs1:

and

press

ENTER

to switch to that device. If your HBA does not have EFI

boot code already installed, you must use the

EFIUTIL.EFI

driver

utility in order to flash the board. At the command prompt, type

EFIUTIL

and press

ENTER

. This will load the QLogic EFI utility and

display a efiutil> prompt. The following commands assume that the
EFI boot package files are all located in the same directory as the

EFIUTIL.EFI

program.
