1 SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Overview QLogic SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a collection of device drivers and GUI-based device management tools for configuring and managing QLogic Fibre Channel (FC) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapters. NOTE: Throughout this guide, the term Windows refers to all supported versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system, including Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, unless otherwise specified.
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Overview Features S NOTE: For specific OS service packs (SP) and updates, refer to the descriptions where this software version is posted on the QLogic website http://support.qlogic.com/support/drivers_software.aspx. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a client/server tool. The networking capability of the tool allows for centralized management and configuration of QLogic Fibre Channel adapters and converged network adapters within the entire SAN.
A SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Overview Features Persistently bind targets—The adapter driver binds a target ID using a target's world wide port name (WWPN) or port ID, enabling the target ID to always connect to the WWPN or port ID across reboots regardless of SAN reconfigurations Update the adapter parameters, Flash, and adapter driver. NOTE: You can install the adapter driver before you install the adapter hardware. Statistics.
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Overview Advanced Features S Wizards. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager provides several easy-to-use configuration wizards. Each wizard provides a set of dialog boxes that walk you through the steps required to configure and update Fibre Channel devices. Advanced Features SANsurfer FC HBA Manager adds the following advanced features to its toolset: N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV). NPIV (N_Port ID Virtualization) allows you to make the most of your server and Fibre Channel fabric.
2 System Overview SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a collection of device drivers and management tools for configuring and managing QLogic FC and FCoE adapters in a SAN. This section provides the following information: “Configurations” on page 2-1 shows examples of several different configurations. “Installation Checklist” on page 2-6 contains a checklist to help you properly install all hardware and software in the correct order.
S System Overview Configurations Single-Ported (Non-failover) Configuration Figure 2-1 shows a simple single-ported (non-failover) configuration consisting of one host (X), two adapters (A and B), and ten target devices (0–9). This configuration assumes that the host has access to all connected devices; therefore, it requires an adapter operating system driver, but does not require the rest of SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. Other SANsurfer FC HBA Manager components help manage devices more easily.
A System Overview Configurations Simple Failover Configuration Figure 2-2 shows a simple failover configuration consisting of one host (X), two adapters (A and B), three dual-ported devices (0–2), and two single-ported devices (3 and 4).
S System Overview Configurations SAN or Cluster Configuration Figure 2-3 shows a simple storage area network (SAN) configuration consisting of two hosts (X and Y). Each host has an adapter that connects to a common set of five target devices (0–4). Host X Adapter A 0 1 2 3 4 Target Devices Adapter B Host Y Figure 2-3 SAN or Cluster Configuration If Figure 2-3 represents a SAN of unrelated hosts, then each host is configured to recognize a different set of devices.
A System Overview Configurations RAID Configuration and LUN Masking Figure 2-4 illustrates the interaction of an adapter alternate with a LUN alternate in a RAID subsystem. Two hosts (X and Y) connect to a fabric, which is simplified for this diagram. Also on the fabric is a RAID subsystem with dual controllers (left and right) containing eight LUNs.
S System Overview Installation Checklist Host Z (not shown) can be added to this configuration. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager supports up to 30 hosts. The only limiting factor is that the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Agent must be run on each host in turn. The RAID system offers eight LUNs, numbered 0–7. The RAID system typically has its left and right controllers operating in an active/active manner, with half the LUNs available on each controller.
A System Overview Installation Checklist Step 1: Collect the Hardware and Software Collect the required hardware and software as listed in these sections. Required Hardware. Collect the required hardware (see also “Hardware Requirements” on page 3-1). In all cases, some combination of the following is required: QLogic Fibre Channel adapters and converged network adpters. Target devices such as disks and RAID subsystems.

A System Overview Installation Checklist Step 2: Install the Hardware Refer to hardware installation guides to install adapters in host systems (see “Related Documents” on page 1-4). Cable target devices through the combination of local loops, hubs, and switches in your configuration. Verification: On Windows/Linux (IA32, x64) systems, before installing the device driver, verify the presence of adapters at power-up using the QLogic Fast!UTIL FC adapter BIOS utility.
S System Overview Installation Checklist Verification: Verify that adapters recognize target devices by using operating system device configuration utilities, or use the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager to display target devices found on an adapter. To mask devices or LUNs—or if devices appear twice because you plan to configure them later as preferred and alternate paths—do not format devices, assign drive letters, or save this disk configuration.
A System Overview Installation Checklist Step 5: Install and Run SANsurfer FC HBA Manager SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a management tool used to view, manage, and diagnose QLogic adapters. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager also configures adapters, target devices on the adapters, and LUNs on target devices. To use target masking, LUN masking, or device hot replacement features of SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, you must install SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
S System Overview Non-Windows Configuration Parameters Step 6: Configure the Disks in the Operating System After completing all hardware and configuration for FC subsystems, use the appropriate operating system utilities to enable devices, assign drive letters or logical names, and initialize file systems for each device or LUN on the system. Step 7: Install the IP Communications Driver As an option, you can install the IP communications driver.
A System Overview Non-Windows Configuration Parameters NetWare Enhanced Driver Configuration Parameters NetWare stores QLogic configuration parameters in the QL2x00.cfg file in the default DOS directory, C:\Nwserver. The NetWare agent creates and saves parameter values in the file; this file is not intended for modification nor editing.

6 Performing Diagnostics SANsurfer FC HBA Manager provides end-to-end diagnostics that allow you to test adapters and the devices to which they are connected. Diagnostic tests include the following: The external loopback test, which evaluates the ports (transmit and receive transceivers) on the adapter and the error rate. 10-bit internal or 1-bit serial internal loopback test (available on 8Gb adapters, such as the QLE256x).
S Performing Diagnostics Running Loopback and Read/Write Buffer Diagnostic Tests CAUTION! Although SANsurfer FC HBA Manager protects against normal operation interruption and testing disruption, it is your responsibility to ensure that the diagnostics are run without causing interruptions to other processes and disruptions to the actual testing process.
A Performing Diagnostics Running Loopback and Read/Write Buffer Diagnostic Tests To flash the adapter port’s LED: 1. In the FC/CNA HBA tree, right-click an adapter port. NOTE: If you are using a Macintosh mouse (one button), press CTRL while clicking on the tree. 2. On the shortcut menu, click Flash Beacon. The 2xxx adapter port's LED begins to flash. To stop the LED from flashing: 1. In the FC/CNA HBA tree, right-click the adapter port. 2. On the shortcut menu, click Flash Beacon.

Performing Diagnostics Running Loopback and Read/Write Buffer Diagnostic Tests S Running the Loopback Test The loopback test is external to the adapter. If the adapter port is in loop mode, you can run the loopback test with a loopback connector. If the adapter port is in point-to-point mode and attached to a switch, an echo test is run instead (no loopback connector is used). In addition, some driver versions do not require a loopback connector.
