1.9.12 Downloading the current Fibre Channel adapter driver
Perform the following steps to load the current driver onto the QLogic adapter
card.
1. Go to the following Web site:
www.qlogic.com
Note: The Enable LIP reset, Enable LIP full logon, and Enable target reset
parameters control the behavior of the adapter when Windows NT tries to do a
SCSI bus reset. You must perform a target reset to make cluster failovers
work.Use the SCSI bus device reset option to clear SCSI reservations.
Note: If you connect the ESS directly to the host system, the option you select
must match the port connections on the ESS. However, if you connect through
a switch, the options do not need to match the port connections because the
ESS is point-to-point. The appropriate HBA on the server must also support
point-to-point connection on a direct connection. Currently, disparate vendors
do not function properly in a direct point-to-point connection. This statement is
not true if you connect through a switch because the ESS is point-to-point.
