5 83270-546-00 M
2–Software Installation and Initial Setup Multiboot Image for Fibre Channel Adapter Function Configuration Utility

Updating Multiboot Code and Firmware

1. Boot to the OS with the latest driver and QConvergeConsole CLI installed.
2. Download the MBI kit for your 2700 Series Adapter from Marvell Support Website:
ttps://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/DefaultNew
h Search.aspx
3. Unzip the MBI kit to a directory:
ql268x_img01.01.89_risc_8.08.204.zip or later; or qlogic_ql28xx_img01.01.15_risc_9.02.02.zip or later (for 277x
models}
4. Change to that directory, and then issue the following QConvergeConsole CLI command:
# qaucli -b all bk010189.bin # qaucli -b all mh010115.bin (For 277x Adapters only)
5. Verify that the new firmware becomes active after the system reboots by issuing the following QConvergeConsole CLI command:
# qaucli -i (Firmware version = 8.08.204 or later; or 9.02.02 or later for 277x Adapters)
6. Using the QCC CLI, select the Adapter Updates / Flash Update option to update the MBI (bkxxxxxx.bin or mhxxxxxx.bin file).
NOTE
To minimize the security threat of unauthorized software accessing and changing configuration on networking components, Secure Firmware Download restricts unauthorized write access to the on-board non-volatile memory and ensures only authentic firmware executes.
NOTE
You can also update the MBI kit from the UEFI Shell.
1.Unzip MBI kit to a directory:
ql268x_imgxx.xx.xx_risc_y.yy.yyy qlogic_ql28xx_imgxx.xx.xx_risc_y.yy.yyy.zip (for 277x models)
2.Boot to UEFI Shell.
