The procedures in this manual for replacing a Virtualized Multi-Fabric 10GbE NEM requires the use of a program called lsiutil. This appendix provides information how to use the application.
To use lsiutil for the procedure in this appendix, you must have version 1.60 at minimum.
To obtain the latest lsiutil software, go to the disk blade download site:
Download LSIUtilKit_1.60.zip and unzip it in your root directory. It will create a main directory (LSIUtilKit1.60) with subdirectories for DOS, Linux, Solaris, Solaris x86, and Windows. If you are running lsiutil on a SPARC blade, use the Solaris subdirectory. Otherwise, use the Solaris x86 subdirectory.
There is an OS-specific version of lsiutil in each subdirectory.
The procedure for clearing your LSI host bus adapter’s non-present persistence mappings requires using the interactive menus of lsiutil.
Change to the directory that contains the appropriate version of lsiutil for your application. For example:
Enter the application name in the appropriate context. For example:
You cannot see all the commands in the menu because they are too numerous, but you can enter any option number if you know what it is. In our case we want to open the Persistence menu. This is done with option 15.
Type 11 (Clear all non-present persistence mappings) and press Enter.
This clears any entries in the host bus adapter‘s persistence map that refer to target objects that are no longer present.
Type and enter 0 three times to exit the lsiutil application.
To Save a Snapshot of Your Host Bus Adapter Persistence Mappings |
Change to the directory that contains the appropriate version of lsiutil for your OS. For example:
Enter the application name in the appropriate context. For example:
You cannot see all the commands in the menu, but you can enter any command number if you know what it is. In our case we want to open the Persistence menu. This is done with command 15.
You are prompted for the name of the file where you want to store the host bus adapter’s persistent mappings snapshot.
Enter a file name. For example, HBA33_persistence_file.
The file is saved to the current directory. You get confirmation of this with a statement of the number of persistent entries saved.
Type and Enter 0 three times to exit the lsiutil application.
Caution - You must save the persistence mappings snapshot to external media as you will not be able to reinstall it from a local disk. |
