EMC Fibre Channel and iSCSI with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Planning, Miscellaneous Procedures, and Troubleshooting
Set the HBA FC-AL Loop ID
While configuring a QLA234x HBA for Windows 2000 and
connection to EMC CLARiiON CX200-Series for direct-connect
cluster configurations, you must manually set the HBA FC-AL Loop
ID. Follow these steps to enable loop hard addressing and set the
loop ID on each HBA:
Perform this procedure on all nodes in the cluster connected to the
CX200-Series array.
1. Boot the Windows host; press Ctrl-Q when prompted to Press
<CTRL-Q> for Fast!UTIL
. (This prompt appears with the
QLogic startup banner.)
2. After the Fast!UTIL program loads, the initial display depends on
whether there are multiple QLogic HBAs installed in the server:
• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu
appears.
• If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of memory addresses
occupied by those HBAs appears.
Using the arrow keys, select the desired HBA and press
ENTER.
The Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.
3. Select Configuration Settings from the Fast!UTIL Options menu,
and press Enter.
4. Select Host Adapter Settings from the Configuration Settings
menu.
5. Select Adapter Hard Loop ID from the Host Adapter Settings
menu and press
ENTER until the value is Enabled.
6. Select Hard Loop ID and press Enter.
The loop ID value entered here is the decimal representation of
the FC-AL loop ID. You do not need to perform any FC-AL
AL_PA hexadecimal translation.
HBAs connected to the same SP should all have unique hard loop IDs.
Select 0 for all HBAs on one node, select 1 for all HBAs on the next node,
and so on.
7. Enter a value for the loop ID and press Enter.
