GUID(s)
MAC(s)
To burn a firmware image:
1.
Update the firmware on the device, keeping the current GUIDs and VSD. (Note: This is the
common way to use the tool.
# mstflint -d
41:00.0
2.
Update the firmware on the device, specifying the GUIDs to burn.
# mstflint -d
41:00.0
3.
Update the firmware on the device, specifying the MACs to burn.
# mstflint -d
41:00.0
4.
Burn the image on a blank Flash device. This means that no GUIDs are currently burnt on the
device, therefore they must be supplied (with -guid/-guids) by the burning command.
Moreover, the burn process cannot be failsafe when burning a blank Flash, therefore the -nofs
flag must be specified.
burn# mstflint -d
5.
Read FW from the device and save it as an image file.
# mstflint -d
41:00.0
6.
MT58100 SwitchX switch:
Burn the image on a blank Flash device. Meaning, no GUIDs/MACs are currently burnt on
the device, therefore they must be supplied (with -guid/-guids and -mac/-macs) by the
Optional, for InfiniBand adapters and 4th generation (Group I) switches. One
or four GUIDs.
•
If 4 GUIDS are provided (-guids flag), they will be assigned as node,
Port 1, Port 2 and sys- tem image GUIDs, respectively.
•
If only one GUID is provided (-guid flag), it will be assigned as node
GUID. Its values +1, +2 and +3 will be assigned as Port 1, Port 2 and
system image GUID, respectively.
•
If no -guid/-guids flag is provided, the current GUIDs will be preserved
on the device.
NOTE: For 4th generation (Group I), four GUIDs must be specified but Ports 1
and 2 GUIDs are ignored and should be set to 0.
NOTE: A GUID is a 16-digit hexadecimal number. If less than 16 digits are
provided, leading zeros will be inserted.
Optional, for Ethernet and VPI adapters and switches.
•
If 2 MACs are provided (-macs flag), they will be assigned to Port 1
and Port 2, respectively.
•
If only one MAC is provided (-mac flag), it will be assigned to Port 1;
MAC+1 will be assigned to Port 2.
•
If no -mac/-macs flag is provided, the current LIDs will be preserved
on the device.
NOTE: A MAC is a 12-digit hexadecimal number. If less than 12 digits are
provided, leading zeros will be inserted.
