Fabric Configurations
Setup Checklist The following is a step-by-step checklist of the procedures used to
integrate an UnixWare 7 host with the Symmetrix using the Qlogic
QLA2200F-EMC HBA in an FC-SW environment. Each step includes
references to the specific procedures. Follow these steps in order, to
ensure proper HBA setup.
This installation should be performed only by personnel having a basic
knowledge of UnixWare 7 system administration.
Step Done?
1. Before beginning configuration to integrate the SCO UnixWare 7 host with the
Symmetrix, ensure that all hardware and patch configurations are
EMC-qualified. Obtain all EMC-qualified configurations from your EMC
customer representative. Verify the following:
n/a
a. The host server is EMC-qualified.
b. The switch is EMC-qualified.
c. The patch configuration for the UnixWare 7 host is EMC-qualified.
2. Verify that the QLA2200F-EMC HBA is installed in the SCO UnixWare host
system, and that the Symmetrix is connected to the HBA through an
EMC-qualified switch.
a. For information on installing the HBA, refer to the Qlogic Hardware Install
Guide QLA2000/2000F/2100/2100F/ 2200/2200.
3. Verify that the Symmetrix is configured properly for a fabric environment. This is
especially important if you are using Volume Logix. Refer to Verifying Symmetrix
Configuration on page 21.
4. Boot the host and verify the correct HBA BIOS version (1.59) and firmware
settings. Upgrade the HBA BIOS if necessary.
n/a
a. To verify the BIOS version, refer to Verifying the Correct HBA BIOS Version
on page 23.
b. To verify the firmware settings, refer to Setting the HBA BIOS Variables on
page 24.
c. To upgrade the HBA BIOS, refer to Upgrading HBA BIOS on page 25.
