NAME

       oce — Device driver for Emulex OneConnect 10Gb network adapters

SYNOPSIS

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

             device pci
             device oce

       Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

             if_oce_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

       Emulex  OneConnect  adapters come in various skews and with different combinations of NIC, FCoE and iSCSI
       functions.  The oce driver claims the NIC functions in all these adapters.

       The oce driver supports VLAN Hardware offload, TCP checksum  offload,  TCP  segmentation  offload  (TSO),
       Large  receive  offload (LRO), Bonding, Jumbo frames (from 1500 - 9000), Multiple TX queues, Receive-Side
       Scaling (RSS) and MSI-X interrupts.

HARDWARE

       The oce driver supports the following network adapters:

       •   Emulex BladeEngine 2
       •   Emulex BladeEngine 3
       •   Emulex Lancer

UPDATING FIRMWARE

       Adapter firmware updates are persistent.

       Firmware can be updated by following the steps below:

       1.   Copy the below code to a Makefile:

                  KMOD=elxflash
                  FIRMWS=imagename.ufi:elxflash
                  .include <bsd.kmod.mk>

       2.   Replace imagename in above with UFI file name

       3.   Copy Makefile and UFI file to a directory

       4.   Execute make & copy generated elxflash.ko to /lib/modules

       5.   sysctl dev.oce.<if_id>.fw_upgrade=elxflash

       6.   Reboot the machine

       In case of issues with supplied UFI, flashing fails with one of the following errors.

       1.   "Invalid BE3 firmware image"
       2.   "Invalid Cookie. Firmware image corrupted ?"
       3.   "cmd to write to flash rom failed."
