EFFECTIVE DATE: 6/21/2007

SUPERSEDES:  hpnicfwupg-1.7.0-1

DESCRIPTION:    This is a self contained executable (scexe) which replaces the previous 
                hpnicfwupg rpm format.  The scexe contains the utilities and binaries for 
                upgrading HP ProLiant Gigabit Ethernet NICs boot code, PXE, IPMI, UMP, CLP, 
                and iSCSI code running under Linux x86_64 platform.

ENHANCEMENTS/FIXES:
                1. Changed format from rpm to scexe so that the utility can be
                   executed either stand alone or as a component on the
                   Firmware Maintenance CD.
                2. Updated firmware images.

Introduction
============
This file describes the firmware upgrade of the HP Gigabit Server 
Adapters mentioned in the PRODUCTS AFFECTED section of this
document.   

User guides and additional HP Network Adapter information can be
found at:
	http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html

 
Packaging
=========
The firmware upgrade utility is released in scexe format.  The file is a single
self-extracting executable that unpacks the component, runs it, and cleans
up the component.  This one-step process replaces the rpm format which would 
require three steps to install, execute, then remove.  The file name for
the package is CP007743.scexe.


Performing the Firmware Upgrade
===============================

1. The utility requires the adapter interface to be up.  You can bring up 
   a network adapter interface by using the following command:

        # ifup ethx 
        
        or 

        # ifconfig ethx up

2. The firmware can be upgraded interactively using the following command:

	#./CP007743.scexe 
	
3. Before the upgrade is attempted, a copy of the firmware image is saved.
   If the firmware upgrade fails due to an unrecoverable error, you can
   restore your original firmware interactively using the following command:
   
   	#./CP007743.scexe -p

   Note:  Restoring an image is currently supported on non-multifunction NICs.


4. Check the help menu for more information regarding command line options.

	#./CP007743.scexe -h


Firmware Upgrade Log
====================

The results to the firmware upgrade are in the nicfwupg.log which 
will be written to current working directory.  

	
Configure IPMI: Disable/Enable
==============================

1. The utility requires the adapter interface to be up.  You can bring up 
   a network adapter interface by using the following command:

        # ifup ethx 
        
        or 

        # ifconfig ethx up

2. Verify the configuration status of the network adapter by sending the 
   following command:

	# ./CP007743.scexe -c

3. Configure IPMI by sending the following command:

	# ./CP007743.scexe [ interface ] ipmi [ options ]

          options:
          0 - Disable IPMI
          1 - Enable IPMI

   example:  The following command disables IPMI

	# ./CP007743.scexe eth0 ipmi 0
