encountered with the discovery, resolve them and repeat the process.
6. Once the server object is created, create and map at least one SC Series volume to the server.

4.2 Manual server configuration with FC
Use the Configure this host to access a Storage Center option in the Dell Storage Manager client to
automatically configure a new FC server object on the SC Series array, as shown in section 4.1. In cases
where this is not possible, create the server object manually using the following steps. The steps are the
same for SC Series arrays configured for virtual port or legacy port mode.
1. Power on the Windows Server host.
2. Verify that the BIOS for each FC HBA is enabled. For QLogic HBAs, press [Ctrl + Q] at boot to enter
the Fast!UTIL configuration utility.
3. Configure the settings and advanced settings for each HBA. For guidance with QLogic HBAs, see the
Dell EMC SC Series Storage and Microsoft Windows Server 2016 best practices guide.
