Use this procedure to update the firmware on the LSI 7202XP HBA. Step 1. Install the FcUtil utility. Please refer to the FcUtil User Guide for detailed installation instructions. Step 2. Execute FcUtil.exe, and select the 7202XP HBA to update, when the HBAs in the system are identified. Step 3. Download the firmware to the HBA, using the Download Firmware menu option. The firmware image for the 7202XP is fc929x.rom. Step 4. Power down the HBA, and power the system up again. This ensures that the updated firmware is running on the chip. Step 5. Execute FcUtil.exe again, and select the 7202XP HBA to update, when the HBAs in the system are identified. Step 6. Configure the HBA options as follows: - AutoNegotiation Option AutoNegotiation speed selection allows the chip to automatically adjust to 2Gb or 1Gb operation, dependant on the link speed of the other nodes on the link. By default, AutoNegotiation should be enabled. However, there may be some configurations where older switches or peripherals are used, that will prevent AutoNegotiation from working successfully. In those configurations, the link speed can be set manually to either 2Gb or 1Gb speed. The Intel BIOS, the Solaris BIOS, and the FcUtil utility all provide the AutoNegotiation configuration option. Note that after selecting a different option, the chip must be reset for the change to take affect. - AutoTopology Option AutoTopology allows the chip to automatically configure itself for private loop, public loop, and direct N-Port connections. With AutoTopology, the chip will start link initialization with a LIP. If the LIP is not returned to the chip, the chip assumes it’s not on a loop. The chip will then try to login to an attached switch. If the switch doesn’t respond, the chip will assume it is directly connected to another N-Port. By default, AutoTopology should be enabled. However, there may be some legacy configurations or special test configurations where it may be desirable to force a specific topology negotiation for the chip. The Intel BIOS, the Solaris BIOS, and the FcUtil utility all provide the AutoTopology configuration option. Note that after selecting a different option, the chip must be reset for the change to take affect. - MultiPathing option The MultiPathing option recognizes the need to provide a unique logical ID for each port of dual ported target. If a dual ported target is attached to a single channel of the 7202XP, enabling the MultiPathing option will create two Logical IDs for the single drive, one for each port on the drive. With MultiPathing disabled, the 7202XP would recognize that both ports on the target actually address the same drive, so only a single Logical ID would be created for the drive. Each of these configurations has its application, however careful analysis of the system and topology requirements is advised. The Intel BIOS, the Solaris BIOS, and the FcUtil utility all provide the MultiPathing configuration option. Note that after selecting a different option, the chip must be reset for the change to take affect. - Interrupt Coalescing option The Interrupt Coalescing option can be used to optimize system performance, by configuring the number of I/O replies that will be posted to the host driver, per host interrupt. Two parameters are provided: Queue Depth and Delay Time. The Queue depth specifies the number of I/O replies that will be queued, before a host interrupt is generated. The delay time specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for an interrupt to be generated, if less than Queue Depth replies are posted. The default values for the 7202XP are Queue Depth = 9 and Delay Time = 500ms. Step 7. Reboot the system, and resume normal system operation. ************************ Intel BIOS v2.02.00 Features **************************** LSI 7202XP Intel BIOS v2.02.00 supports these features: o Fusion-MPT(tm) v1.2 support o Configuration for up to 256 adapters-any 4 can be chosen for INT13 (bootrom) support o Automatic INT13 drive mapping for Fibre Channel drives o Configuration options for AutoNegotiation, AutoTopology, and MultiPathing o Shared User Interface with LSI Logic SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility **************** Updating the Intel BIOS on the Host Adapter ******************* This section provides installation instructions for Intel BIOS updates. Use this procedure to update the Intel BIOS on the LSI 7202XP HBA. Step 1. Install the FcUtil utility. Please refer to the FcUtil User Guide for detailed installation instructions. Step 2. Execute FcUtil.exe, and select the 7202XP HBA to update, when the HBAs in the system are identified. Step 3. Download the Intel BIOS to the HBA, using the Update BIOS menu option. The Intel BIOS image for both the 7202XP is mptbios.rom. Note that the Solaris BIOS will also be automatically downloaded, when the Intel BIOS is downloaded. ******************** Solaris Sparc BIOS v1.00.30 Features ********************** LSI 7202XP SPARC Solaris Fcode v1.00.30 supports these features: o Fusion-MPT(tm) v1.2 support o Configuration options for AutoNegotiation, AutoTopology, and MultiPathing o Shared User Interface with LSI Logic SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility Your SPARC Solaris system must have the available resources as listed below in order to install the 7202XP. Resource Requirement Host Bus Slot Sun Solaris system with available PCI slot Operating System Solaris 2.6 release or later Firmware OpenBoot PROM Version 3.0 or greater *********** Updating the SPARC Solaris Fcode on the Host Adapter **************** This section provides installation instructions for SPARC Solaris Fcode updates. Use this procedure to update the SPARC Solaris Fcode on the 7202XP HBA. Step 1. Install the FcUtil utility. Please refer to the FcUtil User Guide for detailed installation instructions. Step 2. Execute FcUtil.exe, and select the 7202XP HBA to update, when the HBAs in the system are identified. Step 3. Download the SPARC Solaris Fcode to the HBA, using the Update BIOS menu option. The SPARC Solaris Fcode image for the 7202XP is LSI9X9f.rom. Note that the Intel BIOS will also be automatically downloaded, when the SPARC Solaris Fcode is downloaded. ******************* Verifying Correct Solaris Installation ********************* Use this procedure to verify installation of your LSI 7202XP host adapter before booting your system: Step 1. Power on the system. Step 2. When the banner is displayed, press the Stop-A keys to interrupt the boot process and stop at the ok prompt. Step 3. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices. You should see an output similar to the following example, as shown below: ok show-devs /SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi@0,0 /pci@1f,0 /virtual-memory /memory@0,10000000 /aliases /options /openprom /chosen /packages /pci@1f,0/pci@1 /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,fc@4 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,fc@4/disk /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,fc@4/tape /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1/tape /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1/disk /openprom/client-services Note: The above is an example. The output of show-devs may vary depending on your system and configuration. Use the corresponding entries on your system, not those given here. If these devices are not listed, check that the adapter is correctly installed, and reseat the adapter if necessary. ************************* Identifying the FC Disks ***************************** The probe-scsi-all command is used to identify the FC disk devices on your LSI 7202XP host adapter, as shown below. ok probe-scsi-all /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk IBM DNES-309170W SA30 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,fc@7 MPT Firmware Version 1.00 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6615 WWN 220000203710d063 ID 111d2 Target 1 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6258 WWN 220000203710c09b ID 111d6 Target 2 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6258 WWN 220000203710b066 ID 111d5 Target 3 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6258 WWN 220000203710b063 ID 111d3 Target 4 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6258 WWN 220000203710b04f ID 111d4 Target 5 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6615 WWN 2200002037104f73 ID 111d9 Target 6 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6615 WWN 2200002037102d0f ID 111d1 If the FC disks on your LSI Logic adapter are not identified by your system, check the following: 1. Are all the FC cables correctly connected to the disk enclosure? 2. Is the disk enclosure powered up? 3. If the external disk enclosure required a loopback connector, is the loopback connector correctly installed?Download Driver Pack
