Residuals and issues
- Documentation on the 'iscsivlan' option is limited (setting it in the BIOS ROM menu is disabled)
- The CHAP passphrase/secret is limited to a string with 12-16 characters
- Configuration file options:
- should be specified in lower case
- don't need a hypen prefix
- lines with hash seem to be treated as comments

Boot util options
RUNNING BootUtil
================
The syntax for issuing BootUtil command line options is:
BOOTUTIL -[OPTION] or -[OPTION]=[VALUE]
NOTE: Rebooting is required after executing BootUtil to make updated
settings valid.
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.
NOTE: BootUtil displays up to 128 adapter ports.
GENERAL OPTIONS:
-HELP or -?
Displays a list of command line 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
-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 option.
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 a 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.
-FLASHDISABLE or -FD
Disables the capability to run flash firmware on the selected adapter.
-BOOTENABLE=[PXE, ISCSIPRIMARY, ISCSISECONDARY, FCOE, or DISABLE]
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=DISABLE
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 imagetypes.
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
-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."
PXE BOOT CONFIGURATION OPTIONS CONTINUED:
-MODE
Writes the given MODE setting to EEPROM of the given NIC(s).
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
