1.0 Introduction
|
|
................
|
|
|
|
|
|
LsiUtil is a firmware download and diagnostic utility that can be used with
|
|
Windows, Linux, Solaris and DOS environments.
|
|
|
|

|
|
............
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
o All SCSI, SAS and Fiobre Channel Host Adapters from LSI NSPG.
|
|
o Identifies and updates the firmware or BIOS images.
|
|

|
|
|
|
1.2 LSI Logic FC Devices Supported
|
|
...................................
|
|
|
|
o All LSI MPT Fusion (tm) SCSI chips and HBAs
|
|
o All LSI Fibre Channel chips and HBAs
|
|
o All LSI SAS chips and HBAs
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.0 Description
|
|
...............
|
|
|
|
LsiUtil supports updating the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT (TM) based Firmware
|
|
and/or BIOS, for chips and HBAs that use FLASH.
|
|
|
|
The utility is supported with binaries in several OS environments:
|
|
|
|
Windows: lsiutil.exe
|
|
Linux: lsiutil
|
|
Solaris: lsiutil
|
|
DOS: lsiutil.exe
|
|
|
|
The utility requires the LSI host adapter driver to be installed and
|
|
loaded.
|
|
|
|
To run LsiUtil:
|
|
|
|
Copy lsiutil to C:\ or /usr/sbin/ Windows or Linux respectively.
|
|
|
|
Open and command prompt.
|
|
Command prompt C:\>.
|
|
Type lsiutil and press Enter.
|
|
|
|
2.1 Operation
|
|
.............
|
|
|
|
The main window provides a selction of chip/HBA ports. Dual channel cards will
|
|
have two entries (chips) displayed on this screen. Since both channels of a
|
|
dual channel board share a flash part, only one of the paths needs to be
|
|
chosen. However, no harm will be done if separate updates are done through
|
|
both. This screen appears as:

|
|
Main menu, select an option: [1-99 or e for expert or 0 to quit]
|
|
|
|
|
|
- The Identify firmware, BIOS, and/or FCode option displays the version
|
|
number of the current Fusion-MPT Firmware or the Fusion-MPT BIOS residing on
|
|
the adapter. If multiple BIOS images are present (Fusion-MPT BIOS w/EFI BSD
|
|
or Fusion-MPT BIOS w/FCode), this option will all versions.
|
|
|
|
- The Download firmware option prompts for a file name to download.
|
|
|
|
Example: "Enter firmware filename: it_1030.fw"
|
|
|
|
The firmware file to download may be in the same directory as the lsiutil
|
|
executable, or a full pathname can be provided.
|
|
|
|
Example: Enter firmware filename:
|
|
C:\Fusion-MPT_IT_FW10327_BIOS_50703pt_FLASH_10304\it_1030.fw
|
|
|
|
- The Download BIOS and/or FCode option also prompts for a file name to download.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
"Enter x86 BIOS filename: mptbios.rom"
|
|
"Enter FCode filename: lsi1030f.rom"
|
|
"Enter EFI BIOS filename:lsimpt.rom"
|
|
|
|
If no file is entered and there is currently a version on the card, the current
|
|
BIOS version will be displayed.
|
|
|
|
Example: MPTBIOS-x.xx.xx (xxxx.xx.xx)
|
|
Do you want to preserve the current x86 BIOS? [Yes or No, default is Yes]
|
|

3.0 Command Line Operation
|
|
..........................
|
|
|
|
The following command line options are supported by this utility and can be
|
|
used to create an automated process to perform the utility's operations. When no
|
|
command line options are specified, the interactive (menu) is displayed.
|
|
|
|
-e Turn on Expert Mode (more menu options).
|
|
-w, -ww, -www Log internal operations to lsiutil.log, for debug.
|
|
-y Answer yes to yes/no questions whose default is yes.
|
|
-n Answer no to yes/no questions whose default is no.
|
|
-j type[,type] Include just ports of type 'type' (FC, SCSI, SAS).
|
|
-x Concatenate SAS firmware and NVDATA files.
|
|
|
|
Display Options
|
|
|
|
usage: lsiutil [ -p portNumber ] [ -u ][ -s ] [ -d ] [ -i ] [ -b ]
|
|
-p portNumber Specify the port number to operate on.
|
|
If not specified, all ports are used.
|
|
-u Use untagged, rather than tagged, SCSI commands.
|
|
-s Scan for and display all targets.
|
|
-d Dump all config pages.
|
|
-i Display port settings.
|
|
-b Show board manufacturing information.
|
|
-m freq[,time] Monitor port performance, updating the display
|
|
every 'freq' seconds, for 'time' seconds.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. to display the port settings and targets for port 1:
|
|
lsiutil -p 1 -i -s
|
|
2. to display the targets found on all known ports:
|
|
lsiutil -s
|
|
|
|
Operational Options
|
|
|
|
usage: lsiutil -p portNumber [ -l linkSpeed ] [ -t topology ]
|
|
[ -c timeout,depth ] [ -r ]
|
|
-p portNumber Specify the port number to operate on.
|
|
Required parameter for operational options.
|
|
-l linkSpeed Set link speed. Valid options for linkSpeed are:
|
|
'a' Auto link speed negotiation
|
|
'1' Force 1Gb link speed
|
|
'2' Force 2Gb link speed
|
|
'4' Force 4Gb link speed
|
|
-t topology Set topology. Valid options for topology are:
|
|
'a' Auto topology negotiation
|
|
'1' Force NL_Port topology
|
|
'2' Force N_Port topology
|
|
-c timeout,depth Set interrupt coalescing values.
|
|
Timeout is a value in microseconds between
|
|
1 and 1000. Depth is a value between 1 and 128.
|
|
Setting either or both values to zero will
|
|
disable interrupt coalescing for that port.
|
|
-r Perform a chip reset on the given port.
|
|
-z Perform an FC link reset on the given port.
|
|
NOTE: In order for linkSpeed, topology, or interrupt coalescing
|
|
settings to take effect, a chip reset is necessary.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
1. to force linkspeed to 1Gb on port 2:
|
|
lsiutil -p 2 -l 1
|
|
2. to set interrupt coalescing to a timeout of 200ms with
|
|
a depth of 9 and to force N_Port topology on port 1:
|
|
lsiutil -p 1 -c 200,9 -t 2
