10. Self Test

To invoke a minimal self test, enter test at the ok prompt followed by the adapter device path as in the following

example.

ok test /pci@1f,0/pci@5/QLGC,qla@0

11. Flashing Adapter with FCode

To update the FCode, use the QLogic qla2x00flash utility. A QLogic Solaris HBA driver revision 3.13 or later must be

installed before this flash utility can be run.

To run the utility perform the following steps:

1. Copy the qla2x00flash file and ifp2300.prom file to desired directory.

2. Enter the command line with the appropriate path as in the example below.

qla2x00flash -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4:devctl ifp2300.prom

qla2x00flash -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4:devctl ifp2312.prom

WARNING: EXTREME CARE MUST TO BE TAKEN WHEN CHANGING FLASH CONTENTS, INCORRECT DATA MAY

RENDER THE ADAPTER UNUSABLE TO THE POINT THAT THE OPERATING SYSTEM MAY NO LONGER FUNCTION.

12. Building a Bootable Disk

This procedure assumes the system is already booted from an existing system disk, and that you have already

performed a full system backup.

The device name shown in this example is for a device on the third PCI bus slot, target Id 130, Lun 0, slice 0. The

device path is different on each system depending on which PCI bus slot, target Id, Lun, etc.

You must have already completed the steps listed above before attempting to create a bootable disk.

This procedure involves using the Solaris command, ufsdump to create temporary saveset files for each partition on

your current boot disk. In order for this method to be successful, you must have enough extra disk space to create

the saveset files or your Solaris machine must have a high capacity tape drive attached.

1. Determine the amount of disk space used/available on your current boot disk.

Use the /usr/bin/df -k -l command for a listing.
