Description
============
This package contains the utilities and binaries for upgrading
firmware (boot code, PXE, UEFI, NCSI and CCM code) on HPE Ethernet 
networking adapters (Broadcom NX1 controller based) connected to 
supporting Proliant servers running supported Linux x86_64 OS distros.

This component contains combo image version v17.4.41. The combo image includes: 
Boot Code: 5717B0 - v1.65, 5717C0 - v2.10, 5719 - v1.46 & 5720 - v1.39; NCSI: v1.3.16;
PXE(wherever applicable): v17.2.1; UEFI(wherever applicable): v17.4.1; CCM: 17.2.0. 
The users will only see the combo image versions in the interactive mode firmware update 
or while using HPSUM/SPP to update the firmware on the supported adapters.


Enhancements/Fixes
===================
- Enhancements Description:
  - N/A

- Fixes Description:
  - Fixes an issue where the server makes high speed fan noise once PXE firmware on the adapter 
    is updated to v17.0.2.
  - Fix an issue where incorrect FW version may be reported when updating firmware on 332i LOM. 
  - Fixes an issue where the older smart components may report incorrect Bootcode version after the 
    firmware on the adapter was originally updated using the component v2.16.4 or later.
  - Fixes an issue where an error code 7 is reported when updating firmware on the 
    HP Ethernet 1Gb 4-port 331i-SPI Adapter.

Introduction
============
This file describes the procedure to use for upgrading firmware on 
HPE Ethernet networking adapters mentioned in the 'PRODUCTS AFFECTED'
section of this document.

User guides and additional HPE network adapter information can be found at:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/networking/index-nic.html


Performing the Firmware Upgrade
===============================
1. This utility requires all the associated ethernet interfaces to be up. 
You can  bring up an ethernet interface by using the following command:

	# ifup ethx

	or

	# ifconfig ethx up
2. Firmware can be upgraded interactively using following command:

	# ./CP028671.scexe

3. The help menu lists all available command line options.

	# ./CP028671.scexe -h


Firmware Upgrade Log
====================
The results of the firmware upgrade are saved to the CP028671.log file
which is located at the /var/cpq/ directory. 


Important Information
======================
1) The adapter's ethernet interfaces may be down temporarily during the update process.
So any remote sessions via these interfaces will be disconnected temporarily.
