Configuring Emulex Fibre Card in Winpe

Do you use Emulex Fibre Cards? Would you like to configure them in Winpe? Then the program you need is WinLpCfg from Emulex.

WinLpCfg is for use with 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the Microsoft WinPE operating system. (Although not the intended use, you can use WinLpCfg with Windows Server 2003)

You can use the utility to do the following:

• View information on an Emulex HBA
• Reset the HBA
• Download firmware and boot code files
• Select a boot device
• Read and update World Wide Names (WWNs)
• Enable BootBIOS
• Update configuration regions
• Set the HBA to use soft jumpers
• Run diagnostic tests
• Read and process script files

To get help on using the tool run:

C:\winlpfc\x86>winlpcfg help

Here is the help on setting the bootdevice using winlpcfg:

C:\winlpfc\x86>winlpcfg help setbootdevice
Command: help setbootdevice
Syntax: setbootdevice n=adapter w0=WWPN 0 w1=WWPN 1 l=LUN t=topology
Command completed, NO Error!

Also you can create a list of tasks in a text file and then run them e.g.:

reset n=all
enableboot n=1 i=1
setbootdevice n=1 w0=00000000 w1=00000000 l=00 t=1

The command line to run this is:

C:\winlpfc\x86>winlpcfg @textfile.txt
