I’m having problems updating the firmware on fibre channel HBA cards QLE2460, QLE2462 QMH2462.

For example, this server has a single channel 4Gb QLE2460 and dual channel 4Gb QLE2462

root@linux01:~ # cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/model*name
QLE2462
QLE2462
QLE2460

root@linux01:~ # cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host*/model*desc
PCI-Express Dual Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA
PCI-Express Dual Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA
PCI-Express Single Channel 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA

root@linux01:~ # lspci -k | grep -A2 -i fibre

Following the instruction on Updating firmware on an Emulex or QLogic Fibre Channel HBA on HP Proliant and downloaded the file CP022840.scexe

I think the solution will be to update the firmware offline using the HP SPP DVD and selecting Firmware update
