Preface xiv EMC Fibre Channel and iSCSI with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
1 Invisible Body Tag Installation and Configuration This document describes the procedures for installing an EMC-approved QLogic host bus adapter (HBA) into a Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 host environment and configuring the Windows host for connection to an EMC storage array over Fibre Channel. Review the EMC Support Matrix for the latest information on approved HBAs and drivers. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ How this Guide Works......................................................................
Installation and Configuration 1 How this Guide Works In an effort to simplify the installation and configuration of QLogic fibre channel HBAs, this guide follows a simple flow chart, as shown in Figure 1-1 on page 1-3, that guides you through the necessary procedures to connect your Windows server to EMC storage arrays. Tips on planning, miscellaneous procedures, and troubleshooting information are located in Chapter 2, Planning, Miscellaneous Procedures, and Troubleshooting.
Installation and Configuration Start Installing the HBA(s) into the server Booting from the external storage arrays? Booting from the External Storage Array YES Create a floppy disk with EMC-Approved driver, firmware, and boot BIOS N Are you Installing an IA-64 or EFI-based server? Y NO Copy the EMC-Approved driver and firmware, and the Intel EFI Ramdisk driver to a USB pen drive or floppy disk to be used in a USB floppy drive Install/Firmware and Boot BIOS from DOS Install/Firmware and EFIBoot
Installation and Configuration 1 Installing the HBA into Your Server Follow the instructions included with your HBA. The HBA installs into a single slot. Follow these steps to connect the cable to the HBA: 1. (Optical cable only) Remove the protective covers on each fiber-optic cable. 2. Plug one end of the cable into the connector on the HBA as shown in the appropriate figure. (The hardware might be rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the orientation shown.
Installation and Configuration 4. Label each cable to identify the HBA and the storage/switch/hub port to which it connects. 5. After connecting all HBAs in the server, power up the server. Special Installation Sequence for Stratus ftServers and EMC CLARiiON Arrays A specific installation sequence is required when installing QLogic HBAs with the Stratus ftServers and EMC CLARiiON® storage.
Installation and Configuration 1 denote the type of voltage is provided by the slot and effectively prevent a voltage incompatible HBA from being inserted. Figure 1-2 shows how PCI slots will appear with their keys and what type of voltage is provided for each slot type. Figure 1-2 PCI Slot types and voltage key locations Figure 1-3 on page 1-7 shows the HBA edge connecters compatible with the PCI slots shown in Figure 1. Note HBA #5 which shows a universal HBA edge connecter.
Installation and Configuration Figure 1-3 Figure 2- HBA edge connecters PCI-X (or PCI Extended) slots increase the speed that data travels over the bus. PCI-X slots appear identical to a 64-Bit PCI slot keyed for 3.3v (see number 3 in Figure 1-2 on page 1-6 and Figure 1-3 on page 1-7.) PCI-X slots are backwards compatible with 3.3v PCI HBAs and universal HBAs. Inserting standard PCI HBAs into PCI-X slots will lower the bus speed, however, as they cannot take advantage of the improved performance.
Installation and Configuration 1 Figure 1-4 PCI Express slots Figure 1-5 shows x1, x4, and x16 lane slots aligned on a mainboard. You can see how the slots are keyed so that low-lane HBAs can fit into larger slots.
Installation and Configuration QLogic offers HBAs for each bus/slot type available. Table 1-1 shows each of the EMC-supported QLogic HBAs, and their respective slot requirements. Be sure to consult both your server user guide and QLogic to insure that the HBA you want to use is compatible with your server’s bus. Table 1-1 EMC-supported QLogic HBAs HBA PCI Spec BUS Length Power Slot Key QLA2200F PCI 2.1 64-bit 3.3V, 5V Universal QLA200 PCI-X 1.0a & PCI 2.2 32-bit 3.3V, 5V 3.
Installation and Configuration 1 Booting from the External Storage Array If you are setting up your server to boot Windows from the external array, it is necessary to have most recent BIOS installed on the HBA from which you plan to boot. BIOS is software that runs on the HBA. When configured, it presents a disk to the operating system to boot from. During boot, the HBA driver is loaded and assumes control of the disk from the BIOS.
Installation and Configuration Note: NVRAM is short for Non-Volatile RAM. This is a special portion of memory on the HBA where HBA settings are stored. Note: Driver and BIOS files may not fit on the same floppy. If you run out of disk space, use a single floppy disk for the driver files, and another disk for the BIOS files. Install/Upgrade Firmware and Boot BIOS from DOS To update using a DOS boot diskette, follow these steps: 1. Format a 3.
Installation and Configuration 1 7. For QLA236x/QLE236x execute the following additional command: flasutil /I /FR This command writes the Flash with RISC code 2322ipx.bin. 8. To load the EMC-specific NVRAM settings files, execute the following additional command: flasutil /L /N Example for qla2340: flasutil /L /N emc2340.dat 9. When the procedure has finished, remove the diskette and reboot the host.
Installation and Configuration ◆ In direct-attach configurations, an HBA has a physical connection to the array port. ◆ In fabric-attach configurations, an HBA has a physical connection to the switch/fabric, and has been zoned to the array, such that a single HBA to be used for boot has one logical I/O path to the array; refer to your switch documentation for details.
Installation and Configuration 1 Legacy (x86 and most EM64T-based servers) boot BIOS configuration During Power-On Self Test (POST), the QLogic banner will be displayed. Press CTRL+Q to enter the Configuration utility: Figure 1-6 QLogic Banner Select the HBA (enumerated by its I/O address) which will be used for boot. If multiple HBAs are installed, there will be multiple HBA entries.
