About this manual

The Combined Boot User Manual explains the two boot code options provided by Emulex: x86 BootBIOS for standard x86 systems and OpenBoot for SPARC PCI and AIX platforms. It describes how the software detects the host platform, loads the appropriate boot image to the HBA flash ROM, and enables the selected boot code.

The guide includes step‑by‑step procedures for loading and enabling the boot code using Emulex utilities (Iputilnt, elxcfg, Iputil, Ip6dutil), lists the files included in the release, details compatible HBAs, and provides troubleshooting tips for both x86 BootBIOS and OpenBoot environments.
