MPTUTIL Utility
The
mptutil
utility enables you to update the adapter flash memory with the EFI driver and
HBA firmware. New versions of these images are released periodically.
IMPORTANT:
Do not store the files in this package on a SAS device. If you store these files
on a SAS device and the update fails, these files will not be accessible.
To update firmware, follow these steps:
1.
Insert the HPE IPF Offline Diagnostics and Utilities CD in the drive and boot to the EFI Shell.
NOTE:
You can also download the firmware image file and update utility from the Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Support Centre website:
http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc
.
IMPORTANT:
When you boot the EFI enabled systems, the CD containing the utility must
be in the drive to allow device mapping. The EFI utility and firmware image files are located
in the root directory or in a subdirectory on the CD.
2.
The CD drive displays in the list of mapped devices as
fs0
. To change to this device, enter
fs0:
shell>fs0:\>
fs0:\>
