INTRODUCTION ============ The Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility (BootUtil) is a utility that can be used to program the PCI option ROM on the flash memory of supported Intel PCI and PCI-Express-based network adapters, and to update configurations. BootUtil replaces existing utilities and provides the functionality of the older IBAUTIL, ISCSIUTL, LANUTIL, and FLAUTIL. BootUtil supports all the adapters supported by the previous utilities. NOTE: Updating the adapter's flash memory using BootUtil will erase any existing firmware image from the flash memory. Intel provides the following flash firmware in FLB file format for programming to the flash memory: - Intel(R) Boot Agent as PXE Option ROM for legacy BIOS http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/bootagent/ - Intel(R) iSCSI Remote Boot as iSCSI Option ROM for legacy BIOS http://www.intel.com/support/network/iscsi/remoteboot/ - Network Connectivity, UEFI network driver http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-006120.htm OEMs may provide custom flash firmware images for OEM network adapters. Please refer to the instructions given by OEMs. BootUtil allows the user to flash supported firmware to the adapter from the included master FLB file. This option ROM includes PXE, iSCSI, FCoE, and UEFI drivers, and the image is programmed to the flash memory at once. BootUtil will also build the required combo images for supported adapter and program those images to the flash, as well. Since both discrete and combo images are supported, the -BOOTENABLE command ONLY works on combo images. PXE+EFI and iSCSI+EFI image combinations are supported for all OEM generic adapters, however support is limited to devices which support both technologies as discrete images. However, flash size is a limiting factor, as the image size can change without notice. The Master FLB file (BOOTIMG.FLB) is the new container for all the Intel(R) boot Option ROMs. This file replaces the existing FLB files for iSCSI, PXE, FCoE and EFI. NOTE: BootUtil supports older flb files to maintain backwards compatibility with the previous utilities. BootUtil without command-line options will display a list of all supported Intel network ports in the system. BootUtil will also allow the user to enable or disable the flash memory on specific ports by using -FLASHENABLE or -FLASHDISABLE options in order to control access to the firmware from the system. BootUtil allows the user to individually set iSCSI, FCoE, UEFI and PXE boot configurations by -NIC=xx -[OPTION]=[VALUE] options. The -I option is iSCSI specific and will not work for PXE configurations. NOTES: BootUtil displays up to 128 adapter ports. No configuration settings are supported for the UEFI driver. Functionality from the previous utility, IBAutil, is preserved in BootUtil. BootUtil is located on the software installation CD in the \APPS\BootUtil directory. Check the Intel Customer Support (http://support.intel.com) website for the latest information and component updates. RUNNING BootUtil ================ The syntax for issuing BootUtil command-line options is: BOOTUTIL -[OPTION] or -[OPTION]=[VALUE] COMMAND LINE OPTIONS ==================== BootUtil accepts one executable option and its associated non-executable options in an execution. If conflicting executable options (such as -FLASHENABLE and -UPDATE used together) are supplied, BOOTUTIL exits with an error. The options, where applicable, are listed in logical groups. NOTE: If you run BootUtil without any command-line options, the utility displays a list of all supported Intel network ports found in the system. GENERAL OPTIONS: -HELP or -? Displays a list of command-line options. -EXITCODES Displays exit codes returned to the OS environment by BootUtil. -IMAGEVERSION or -IV Displays firmware types and version numbers from a resource image. If used with the -FILE option, the resource image is in the FLB file. If used with the -NIC option, the resource image is in the adapter flash. If used with the -ALL option, each resource image is continuously displayed for all adapters. -E Enumerates all supported network ports in the system. -O=[FILENAME] Must be used with -E or -NIC. If used with the -E option, saves a list of all NICs and their MAC addresses to the specified file. If used with the -NIC option, saves all iSCSI Remote Boot configuration options for the specified NIC to the specified file. -I=[FILENAME] Reads iSCSI boot configuration options from [FILENAME] script file and program settings on the selected port. -FILE=[FILENAME] Specifies the file name for -SAVEIMAGE, -RESTOREIMAGE, -SAVECONFIG, -RESTORECONFIG, -UP or -UPDATE options. -P With this command, BootUtil pauses screen after displaying every 25th line. In pause mode, last line of the screen will contain information that: - screen has been paused, and - user can press Enter to continue POWER MANAGEMENT OPTIONS: -WOLENABLE or -WOLE Enables Wake On Lan (WOL) functionality on the selected port. -WOLDISABLE or -WOLD Disables Wake On Lan (WOL) functionality on the selected port. ADAPTER SELECTION OPTIONS: -ALL Selects all supported network ports found in the system. -NIC=XX Selects a specific network port in the system. If used without any executable option, it prints the iSCSI boot configuration of the selected port, or saves it in the file when the -O option is used. -TARGET=XX This is an FCoE-specific selection option. Legal values are 1,2,3,and 4. This option is required for configuration commands -WWPN, -FCOELUN, FCOEVLAN, and -BOOTORDER. -BLINK Blinks the LED on the selected port for ten seconds. ADAPTER FLASH ENABLE/DISABLE OPTIONS: -FLASHENABLE or -FE Enables the capability to run flash firmware on the selected adapter. NOTE: This parameter is not supported on the following adapters. - Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Mezzanine Card - Intel(R) Ethernet X520 10GbE Dual Portr KX4 Mezz - Intel(R) Ethernet X520 10GbE Dual Portr KX4-KR Mezz -FLASHDISABLE or -FD Disables the capability to run flash firmware on the selected adapter. NOTE: This parameter is not supported on the following adapters. - Intel(R) Gigabit ET Quad Port Mezzanine Card - Intel(R) Ethernet X520 10GbE Dual Portr KX4 Mezz - Intel(R) Ethernet X520 10GbE Dual Portr KX4-KR Mezz -BOOTENABLE=[PXE, ISCSIPRIMARY, ISCSISECONDARY, FCOE, or DISABLED] Selects flash firmware type to enable or disable on the selected port. The combo option ROM could have all capabilities. The monolithic option ROM has either PXE, iSCSI, or FCoE capability but not all. This command will NOT WORK on monolithic Option ROMs. NOTES: This manual command is not applicable to the UEFI network driver. The UEFI network driver is enabled by default and loaded automatically unless network ports are already used by other flash firmware. BOOTENABLE=DISABLED Disables iSCSI, PXE and FCoE functionalities for legacy BIOS. BOOTENABLE=ISCSIPRIMARY Enables port as iSCSI primary and disables PXE/FCoE for legacy BIOS. BOOTENABLE=ISCSISECONDARY Enables port as iSCSI secondary and disables PXE/FCoE for legacy BIOS. BOOTENABLE=PXE Enables PXE and disables iSCSI/FCoE boot for legacy BIOS. BOOTENABLE=FCOE Enables FCoE and disables iSCSI/PXE boot for legacy BIOS. FLASH PROGRAMMING OPTIONS: -UP or -UPDATE=[ROMType] [-FILE=Filename] Updates the flash memory of the adapter specified by the -NIC option with the given FLB flash firmware image file. If -QUIET is not specified, the user is prompted to confirm overwriting the existing firmware image before upgrading. If a Filename is not provided, the utility looks for the default bootimg.FLB file which contains all image types. The following examples use pxe, but could also be efi, efi64, FCoE or iSCSI. eg: Bootutil -Nic=x -up=pxe or Bootutil -Nic=x -up=pxe -file=pxeimg.flb If your adapter supports a combo option rom, the following command option automatically detects the supported combo image and programs the adapter with that image. -up=combo up=pxe+efi and up=iscsi+efi are valid. -SAVEIMAGE or SI Saves the existing firmware image in the flash memory of the adapter specified by the -NIC option to a disk file. The destination file is specified by the -FILE option. -RESTOREIMAGE or RI Restores a previously-saved firmware image to the same network adapter using the -NIC option. The source file is specified by the -FILE option. -QUIET Runs BootUtil without confirmation prompts. This option is used with -IMAGEVERSION, -UP, -UPDATE, -RESTOREIMAGE, or -HELP option. PXE BOOT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS: (Can be used with -NIC or -ALL) -DEFAULTCONFIG or -DEFCFG Sets the PXE configuration of the selected NIC back to default settings. -SETUPENABLE or -STE Enables Setup Menu. -SETUPDISABLE OR -STD Disables Setup Menu. -TITLEENABLE OR -TLE Enables Initial Title Message. -TITLEDISABLE OR -TLD Disables Initial Title Message. -MESSAGEENABLE or -MSE Enables display of the Control-S Setup message when PXE initializes. -MESSAGEDISABLE or -MSD Disables display of the Control-S Setup message when PXE initializes. -SETWAITTIME=X or -SWT=X Set the setup delay time for the NIC to X seconds. Valid delay times are 0, 2, 3, and 5. -MODE This parameter should not be used except as advised by Intel Support personnel. ISCSI BOOT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS: -SAVECONFIG Saves a snapshot of iSCSI boot configurations on the selected port to a binary file. Need to specify the file name by the -FILE option. WARNING: For security reasons it is recommended that CHAP settings are disabled when using this option. -RESTORECONFIG Restores previously-saved iSCSI boot configuration snapshot on the selected port. Need the -FILE option to specify the saved data. WARNING: This feature may create multiple primary or secondary ports if the same command is issued to multiple ports. Review the boot priority setting in the iSCSI setup menu for the next system boot. PORT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS FOR ISCSI INITIATOR: These options can either be used individually with the -NIC=XX option, or in a script file with the -I option. The value is specified in -[OPTION]=[VALUE] format. -INITIATORNAME Specifies the iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) for the initiator. -INITIATORIP Specifies the initiator IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. -INITIATORDHCP Enable or disable to get initiator configuration from DHCP. -NETMASK Specifies the initiator subnet mask in dotted decimal notation. -GATEWAY Specifies the gateway IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. -BOOTPRIORITY Specifies iSCSI boot priority as PRIMARY, SECONDARY or DISABLE.
