Upgrade HCA Firmware and Option ROM

Language:

If you are upgrading both the HCA firmware and option ROM, you must upgrade the option ROM first.

Based on whether you are upgrading the HCA firmware, Option ROM or both, consider your next step.
- If you are upgrading both the HCA firmware and option ROM, go to Step 2.
- If you are upgrading only the HCA firmware, go to Step 4.
- If you are upgrading only the option ROM, go to Step 2.
On the Oracle Fabric Interconnect, upgrade the option ROM.
```
set physical-server hostname upgrade-hca lid optionrom
```
where:

hostname

Name of the ESXi host

lid

LID of the HCA

Note - You do not specify the option ROM file names because the highest version option ROM files are automatically selected for you.

For example:
```
set physical-server kingston upgrade-hca 7 optionrom
Upgrading HCA 2c903000459eb optionrom may interrupt I/O and will require a manual 
server reboot in order to take effect. Do you wish to continue (y/n)? y
