This section provides instructions for installing FCode on a QCP2330/2332 HBA
installed in a Solaris SPARC system. A QCP2330/2332 HBA with FCode loaded in
its flash ROM provides boot capability to its attached devices.
The following files are included. Be sure to review the Readme.txt file for both new
and changed information. The naming convention for the associated files and
messages is QLA; however, the FCode supports standard QLogic PCI HBAs
(QLAxxxx) and cPCI HBAs (QCPxxxx).
■ ifp2300.prom—FCode code binary file
■ readme.txt—FCode readme file
■ qla2x00flash — Solaris flash utility
■ readme — readme for qla2x00flash
The procedure for installing FCode flash is summarized in the following steps and
explained in detail in the following sections.
1. Update FCode on the QCP2330/2332 HBA (see section 2.4.1).
2. Set the QCP2330/2332 HBA connection mode (see section 2.4.2).

(WWN), loop ID, and logical unit number (LUN).
5. Save the boot device information to the QCP2330/2332 HBA’s NVRAM. Use
the set-boot-id command. Include the selected QCP2330/2332 HBA’s WWN,
loop ID, and LUN. For example:
ok 2200002037009eeb 82 0 set-boot-id
The following displays:
Calculating NVRAM checksum, please wait.... done
Boot device login successful
Boot WWN - 20000020 37009eeb WWPN - 22000020 37009eeb
Id - 82 Lun - 0
ok
6. To boot the QCP2330/2332 HBA, type the complete boot path, including the
loop ID and LUN. The loop ID and LUN must match those entered in step 5.
For example:
ok boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4/sd@82,0
NOTE: Enter the reset command before attempting to boot if the boot was
interrupted or any of the QLogic FCode commands were executed.
2.4.5
Building the Bootable Disk
This procedure assumes that the system is already booted from an existing system
hard disk, and that you have already performed a full system backup.
The device path on each system differs, depending on the PCI bus slot, target ID,
LUN, etc. The device name shown in this example is for a device on the third PCI
bus slot, target ID 130, LUN 0, slice 0.
You must have already completed the steps in the previous sections before
attempting to create a bootable disk.
2-8 CF2351102-00 F
Q
2 – QCP2330/2332
FCode
To build a bootable disk, perform the following steps:
1. Determine the amount of disk space used/available on your current boot disk.
Use the df command for a listing. For example:
/usr/bin/df -k -l
Filesystem
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
/proc
fd
mnttab
swap
swap
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7
This df example shows that the current boot disk is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s(x). There
are two partitions of interest, slice 0 (/) and slice 7 (/home). Slice 0 uses 1.65 GB
and has 875 MB free. Slice 7 uses 114 MB and has 5 GB free. Therefore, slice 7
(/home) contains enough disk space to store the temporary saveset files.
If there were not at least 1.7 GB free on this disk, you would need to create a
partition on the new bootable disk large enough to hold the largest temporary
saveset files plus the largest used space on a partition. In this example, it would
be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition.
2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new
bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your
temporary saveset files. If you are not familiar with the format command, refer
to the Solaris documentation.
