Updating the Multi-boot Code

To write the multi-boot code to Flash memory:

C:\>update.bat
This script program updates the multi-boot image on the adapter.
4. Reboot the system.
Note: You can also use the QConvergeConsole (QCC) GUI/CLI to flash the multi-boot image. After
the multi-boot code is updated, power cycle the server for the new changes to take effect.

QLflash Command Line Options

The executable file QLflash.exe is used by the UPDATE.BAT file to update your adapter multi-boot
code. The application QLflash.exe may be used to read, write, or verify either the multi-boot image or
the NVRAM on the adapter.
The following paragraphs describe the command line options available with this utility. Use of QLflash will
modify the way your adapter operates, and it must be used with extreme caution.
Certain features (that is, the NVRAM options) may require additional data.
