For an Emulex Dual 16Gb Fibre Channel or Dual 10 GbE controller card with the following conditions:
In NIC mode or CNA mode,
FCoE SFP transceiver is attached,
Running under Linux unbreakable kernel mode
The following behavior applies to both automatic and manual fwupdate mode:
When multiple Emulex Dual 16Gb Fibre Channel or Dual 10 GbE cards are present on the system in NIC mode, all the cards are updated when fwupdate is used to update firmware, even if you run the command to update one card.
Place the firmware image to be used for the update to be in a firmware directory. For example, if firmware image xyz is being used for an update, this firmware image should be under /firmware/xyz.
If multiple images exist under the firmware directory, fwupdate will use the latest version from the images in the firmware directory.
