Verifying the Bootable Firmware Installation
To verify the successful installation of the bootable firmware in the HBA, execute the EFI shell command
“drivers” to show the list of drivers that follow the EFI model. Executing the shell command should
display the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver, Emulex Fibre HBA Driver, and the Emulex Fibre Disk Driver
installed:
Configuring the Boot Devices from the Emulex Bios Utility
To configure a Fibre channel bootable devices that would be assigned a device and driver handle by EFI,
you can either specify a boot device to the boot list or set the firmware to automatically scan a specific
LUN on the fabric.
Emulex has provided a utility called BIOSUTIL.EFI, which is a menu-driven user interface that would
allow a user to view and change the current EFI boot configuration data that is resident on each of the
Emulex HBA’s non-volatile memory. This data is used during the EFI boot process to determine the EFI
driver behavior.
To invoke the utility, the user needs to type “BIOSUTIL” at the EFI shell command line prompt and you
will be on the top level menu which displays all of the Emulex Fibre Channel HBA cards that the utility
found. The user selects one of the cards and all the subsequent lower level menus will apply only to the
selected HBA.
