Broadcom NetXtreme Ethernet Adapter • Diagnostic User's Guide
The feature outputs the following information: PCI DID, VID, SDID & SVID; MAC
address, Firmware revision, PXE, PXESpd, WOL, ASF, MBA, Bond Rev. This
information can be used to verify the setup of a chip after a firmware upgrade.
-elog <filename>
The feature is used to log the failure information of the diagnostics run. When an error
occurs if the file <filename> exists it is appended to and if it does not exist it is created. If
there are no diagnostics failures then the file in not appended or created. A user abort of the
diagnostics testing is log to the error log file <filename>.
-firm <filename> used for field upgrade of bootcode firmware
The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of bootcode firmware. The bootcode
firmware is programmed into a/the device/s of a system if there is a match of the PCI DID,
VID, SDID & SVID of firmware and device. For legacy bootcode, only VPD data block
and Phase 1 and Phase 2 bootcode will be updated by default. For Selfboot firmware and
Hardware Selfboot firmware, only patches will be updated.
-firmall <filename>
The feature is used to execute a field upgrade of entire NVRAM image. The new NVRAM
image is programmed into a/the device/s of a system if there is a match of the PCI DID,
VID, SDID & SVID of firmware and device. Media Manufact Region and Media VPD
Block in NVRAM will be preserved. If the Advance Firmware, such as ASF and IPMI, is
present, the Configuration Block of the firmware will also be preserved. Three addition
command line parameters, "-updateasfcfg", "-updatesecfg", "-updateiscsicfg" and "-sil",
can be used along with "-firmall" command.
-updateasfcfg
that of the NVRAM image provided by "-firmall" command
When "-updateasfcfg" command line parameter is entered before "-firmall" command, the
Advance Firmware Configuration Block of the NVRAM will not be preserved. It will get
updated by the input file of "-firmall" command. The "-firmall" command is described
above.
-updatesecfg
NVRAM with that of the NVRAM image provided by "-firmall" command
When "-updatesecfg" command line parameter is entered before "-firmall" command, the
Meida Manufact Region and Media VPD Block of the NVRAM will not be preserved.
They will get updated by the input file of "-firmall" command. The "-firmall" command is
described above.
-updateiscsicfg
that of the NVRAM image provided by "-firmall" command
an error log file <filename> used to log diagnostics failures
used for field upgrade for entire NVRAM image
update the advance firmware configuration block of NVRAM with
update the Media Manufact Region and Media VPD Block, of
update the ISCSI firmware configuration block of NVRAM with
