    In the “Internet & Networking” category, select “I/O Cards and Networking Software”. Select “Fibre Channel”. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage is a high-speed connection for mass storage. It transmits data faster than existing SCSI mass storage interconnects. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage networks are ideal for data-intensive applications, including data mining, atmospheric modeling, multimedia, geographic information systems, and medical imaging.

    Support Matrix at: Determine if the adapter is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix. If the adapter is not a CRU, contact your HP representative for installation assistance. Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) must be installed or replaced by qualified Hewlett-Packard service representatives only.

    All HP Fibre Channel adapters support the HP Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE). ODE is an offline support tools platform for troubleshooting HP/9000 and HP Integrity systems running without an operating system, or systems that cannot be tested using online tools. The offline environment is also useful for testing before a system is booted.

    HP, and have loaded it into an EFI filesystem called fs0. Theefi_cp command can be used to copy files from HP-UX into an EFI partition. It is important to make sure that the EFI filesystem is not attached to the adapter you are about to update. It is often helpful to write down the EFI directory and filename of the firmware file, because you will be required to enter the directory and filename as part of the update.
