Windows Host Setup
To set up a Windows host:
1. Install the Windows FC driver from the Dell update package.
 Driver v9.3.3.20 or greater
 QConvergeConsole CLI v2.3.00-36 or greater
Windows Host NQN
The driver automatically generates a host NVMe qualified name (NQN). To view
the host NQN, issue the qaucli -i command.
The following shows an example Host NQN output:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Host Name : WIN-4KHVTBVO147
Host NQN : nqn.2018-08.com.marvell:nvme.host.sys.wwpn:21000024ff784720
HBA Instance : 2
HBA Model : QLE2772
Verifying the Adapter Firmware
The following sections describe how to verify and update adapter firmware.
Verifying Adapter Firmware
Confirm that the adapter is running the minimum required firmware version,
9.02.05 or later.
To verify adapter firmware:
1. In QConvergeConsole CLI, issue the following command:
# qaucli -g
HBA Model QLE2772 (SN AFD1517Y01945):
Port 1 WWPN 21-00-00-24-FF-7B-97-60 (HBA instance 0) Online
Port 2 WWPN 21-00-00-24-FF-7B-97-61 (HBA instance 1) Online
2. Choose the HBA instance for the adapter that you want to connect to
FC-NVMe devices (0 in this example), and then issue the following
command:
# qaucli -i 0
Running Firmware Version : 9.02.05 (d0d5)
NOTE
These procedures apply only to the FC-NVMe driver. For the Fibre Channel
driver, follow the instructions in the corresponding Readme.txt file.
