For ESX, before you perform a Flash update on QLogic Adapters using the 
QLogic Adapter vCenter Plug-in, ensure that the QLflash utility is also installed on 
the ESX system.

To install the QLflash utility on ESX:

1.

Unzip the esx_qlflash.zip file, which contains the qlflash 
userworld executable. 

2.

Copy the QLflash binary file to the /usr/lib/vmware/bin/ directory. 

3.

Add executable permission for QLflash by issuing the following command:

4.

If it does not already exist, edit and append the 
/usr/lib/vmware/bin/qlflash entry in the 
/etc/vmware/UserWorldBinaries.txt file. 

For ESXi, the QLflash utility is not required, so no additional steps are necessary. 

To update the Flash from the QLogic Adapter vCenter Plug-in:

1.

Follow the instructions in the 

 

section to start the vCenter plug-in. 

2.

In the left pane of the QLogic Adapter page, select the adapter, and then 
click the Update Adapter Flash Image link. 

3.

In the Select Flash File for Update dialog box, click Browse. 

4.

In the Choose File to Upload dialog box, select the .bin Flash file from the 

extracted Flash kit package that is compatible with your adapter, and then 
click Open. 

5.

In the Select Flash File for Update dialog box, click Send. 

6.

Verify the current Flash version and file version, and then click OK to 
continue the update. 

For ESX systems, before you perform a Flash update on QLogic Adapters 
using the QLogic Adapter vCenter Plug-in, ensure that the QLflash utility is 
also installed. Follow the instructions in the 

 

section.
