To avoid any of the preceding error messages, you must ensure that there is no
USB flash drive attached until the setup asks for the drivers. When you load the
drivers and see your SAN disks, detach or disconnect the USB flash drive
immediately before selecting the disk for further installation.
Configuring FCoE
By default, DCB is enabled on QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx FCoE-,
DCB-compatible C-NICs. QLogic BCM57xx and BCM57xxx FCoE requires a
DCB-enabled interface. For Windows operating systems, use one of the following
to configure the DCB parameters:
QCC GUI
QCC PowerKit
QLogic Control Suite (QCS) CLI
Server BIOS UEFI HII device configuration page
QLogic Comprehensive Configuration Management (CCM) utility
For more information on QCS, see the User’s Guide, QLogic Control Suite CLI,
part number BC0054511-00, available from Cavium Inc.
For FCoE offload, the BCM57xx and BCM57xxx adapters should have FCoE
offload and DCB enabled.
For all OSs, use QLogic’s pre-boot CCM utility or the server's pre-boot BIOS
UEFI HII device configuration page to configure the DCB parameters.
For FCoE on the VMware OS, see the FCoE Support section in the
User’s Guide, Converged Network Adapters and Intelligent Ethernet
Adapters, QLogic FastLinQ 3400 and 8400 Series (part number
83840-546-00). To locate this document, see “Downloading
Documents” on page xxiii.
For FCoE on the Linux OS, see the Installing Linux Driver Software
section in the User’s Guide, Converged Network Adapters and
Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, QLogic FastLinQ 3400 and 8400 Series.
To locate this document, see “Downloading Documents” on page xxiii.
For FCoE on the Windows OS, use the QCC GUI, QCS CLI, or QCC
PowerKit to enable or disable the FCoE-offload instance per port on
Windows in single function mode.
To configure iSCSI offload in NPAR mode, use the NPAR configuration
page in any of the following applications:
QCC GUI
QCS CLI
QCC PowerKit
Pre-boot server UEFI HII
Pre-boot CCM
