Configuring QLA2xxx Adapters
You use mouse clicks in the QLA2xxx adapter grid top heading to activate
QLA2xxx adapters, display QLA2xxx adapter information, and display the
QLA2xxx adapter menu.
❑ Click on a QLA2xxx adapter in the grid heading. QLconfig rearranges the
grid to reflect the new order. The selected QLA2xxx adapter’s devices
always display at the top of the grid.
❑ Double-click on the QLA2xxx adapter to display a dialog with detailed
information about the QLA2xxx adapter.
❑ Right-click on a QLA2xxx adapter to activate it and display a menu. The
menu shows only the valid options. If you are using the QLconfig High
Availability version, the following menu options can be available. If you
are using the QLconfig Standard version, only Adapter Information is
available.
❑ Configure using default. Select this option to restore the QLA2xxx
adapter’s default settings. If you are running the QLconfig High
Availability version, it sets the unconfigured devices on this QLA2xxx
adapter to either primary or failover according to the following rules:
❑ If this device is not accessible by any other QLA2xxx adapter on
this system, it is set to primary.
❑ If this device is accessible by another QLA2xxx adapter and is
unconfigured on that QLA2xxx adapter, it is set to primary.
❑ If this device is accessible by another QLA2xxx adapter and is set
as failover on that QLA2xxx adapter, it is set to primary.
❑ If this device is accessible by another adapter and is already set as
primary on that QLA2xxx adapter, it is set to failover.
❑ Configure using alternate. QLconfig sets the unconfigured devices to
either primary or failover according to the rules defined in the Configure
using default bullet. QLconfig tries to alternate primary and failover
devices. This process attempts to do load balancing between devices
shared by two QLA2xxx adapters in the same system.
❑ Unconfigure all. QLconfig sets all of the configured devices on this
QLA2xxx adapter to unconfigured only if the QLA2xxx adapter
supports device configuration.
