| 20 |
................ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |

2.0 Description |
| 48 |
............... |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
LsiUtil supports updating the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT (TM) based Firmware |
| 51 |
and/or BIOS, for chips and HBAs that use FLASH. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
The utility is supported with binaries in several OS environments: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Windows: lsiutil.exe |
| 56 |
Linux: lsiutil |
| 57 |
Solaris: lsiutil |
| 58 |
DOS: lsiutil.exe |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
The utility requires the LSI host adapter driver to be installed and |
| 61 |
loaded. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
To run LsiUtil: |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Copy lsiutil to C:\ or /usr/sbin/ Windows or Linux respectively. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Open and command prompt. |
| 68 |
Command prompt C:\>. |
| 69 |
Type lsiutil and press Enter. |
| 70 |
|
| 71 |
2.1 Operation |
| 72 |
............. |
| 73 |
|
| 74 |
The main window provides a selction of chip/HBA ports. Dual channel cards will |
| 75 |
have two entries (chips) displayed on this screen. Since both channels of a |
| 76 |
dual channel board share a flash part, only one of the paths needs to be |
| 77 |
chosen. However, no harm will be done if separate updates are done through |
| 78 |
both. This screen appears as: |

- The Identify firmware, BIOS, and/or FCode option displays the version |
| 129 |
number of the current Fusion-MPT Firmware or the Fusion-MPT BIOS residing on |
| 130 |
the adapter. If multiple BIOS images are present (Fusion-MPT BIOS w/EFI BSD |
| 131 |
or Fusion-MPT BIOS w/FCode), this option will all versions. |
| 132 |
|
| 133 |
- The Download firmware option prompts for a file name to download. |
| 134 |
|
| 135 |
Example: "Enter firmware filename: it_1030.fw" |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
The firmware file to download may be in the same directory as the lsiutil |
| 138 |
executable, or a full pathname can be provided. |
| 139 |
|
| 140 |
Example: Enter firmware filename: |
| 141 |
C:\Fusion-MPT_IT_FW10327_BIOS_50703pt_FLASH_10304\it_1030.fw |
| 142 |

| 147 |
"Enter x86 BIOS filename: mptbios.rom" |
| 148 |
"Enter FCode filename: lsi1030f.rom" |
| 149 |
"Enter EFI BIOS filename:lsimpt.rom" |
| 150 |
|
| 151 |
If no file is entered and there is currently a version on the card, the current |
| 152 |
BIOS version will be displayed. |
| 153 |
|
| 154 |
Example: MPTBIOS-x.xx.xx (xxxx.xx.xx) |
| 155 |
Do you want to preserve the current x86 BIOS? [Yes or No, default is Yes] |

.......................... |
| 160 |
|
| 161 |
The following command line options are supported by this utility and can be |
| 162 |
used to create an automated process to perform the utility's operations. When no |
| 163 |
command line options are specified, the interactive (menu) is displayed. |
| 164 |
|
| 165 |
-e Turn on Expert Mode (more menu options). |
| 166 |

| 169 |
-j type[,type] Include just ports of type 'type' (FC, SCSI, SAS). |
| 170 |
-x Concatenate SAS firmware and NVDATA files. |
| 171 |
|
| 172 |
Display Options |
| 173 |
|
| 174 |
usage: lsiutil [ -p portNumber ] [ -u ][ -s ] [ -d ] [ -i ] [ -b ] |
| 175 |
-p portNumber Specify the port number to operate on. |
| 176 |
If not specified, all ports are used. |
| 177 |
-u Use untagged, rather than tagged, SCSI commands. |
| 178 |
-s Scan for and display all targets. |
| 179 |
-d Dump all config pages. |
| 180 |
-i Display port settings. |
| 181 |
-b Show board manufacturing information. |
| 182 |
-m freq[,time] Monitor port performance, updating the display |
| 183 |
every 'freq' seconds, for 'time' seconds. |
| 184 |
|
| 185 |
Examples: |
| 186 |
|
| 187 |
1. to display the port settings and targets for port 1: |
| 188 |
lsiutil -p 1 -i -s |
| 189 |
2. to display the targets found on all known ports: |
| 190 |
lsiutil -s |
| 191 |
|
| 192 |
Operational Options |
| 193 |
|
| 194 |
usage: lsiutil -p portNumber [ -l linkSpeed ] [ -t topology ] |
| 195 |
[ -c timeout,depth ] [ -r ] |
| 196 |
-p portNumber Specify the port number to operate on. |
| 197 |
Required parameter for operational options. |
| 198 |
-l linkSpeed Set link speed. Valid options for linkSpeed are: |
| 199 |
'a' Auto link speed negotiation |
| 200 |
'1' Force 1Gb link speed |
| 201 |
'2' Force 2Gb link speed |
| 202 |
'4' Force 4Gb link speed |
| 203 |
-t topology Set topology. Valid options for topology are: |
| 204 |
'a' Auto topology negotiation |
| 205 |
'1' Force NL_Port topology |
| 206 |
'2' Force N_Port topology |
| 207 |
-c timeout,depth Set interrupt coalescing values. |
| 208 |
Timeout is a value in microseconds between |
| 209 |
1 and 1000. Depth is a value between 1 and 128. |
| 210 |
Setting either or both values to zero will |
| 211 |
disable interrupt coalescing for that port. |
| 212 |
-r Perform a chip reset on the given port. |
| 213 |
-z Perform an FC link reset on the given port. |
| 214 |
NOTE: In order for linkSpeed, topology, or interrupt coalescing |
| 215 |
settings to take effect, a chip reset is necessary. |
| 216 |
|
| 217 |
Examples: |
| 218 |
|
| 219 |
1. to force linkspeed to 1Gb on port 2: |
| 220 |
lsiutil -p 2 -l 1 |
| 221 |
2. to set interrupt coalescing to a timeout of 200ms with |
| 222 |
a depth of 9 and to force N_Port topology on port 1: |
| 223 |
lsiutil -p 1 -c 200,9 -t 2 |
