EMC Fibre Channel and iSCSI with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Installation and Configuration
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 <filename.ext>
Example for qla2340:
flasutil /L /N emc2340.dat
9. When the procedure has finished, remove the diskette and reboot
the host.
With the latest BIOS installed, configure and verify the BIOS settings
to use the EMC Storage Array as the boot disk. Care must be taken to
ensure that only a single I/O path to the LUN exists when installing
the OS. A single HBA should have access to only a single array port
at this point.
Verifying Array/LUN Visibility for Boot
Verification of the HBA ability to access the boot LUN, and boot BIOS
settings is recommended before installing the OS. Care must be taken
to ensure that only a single I/O path to the LUN exists when
installing the OS, a single HBA should have access to only a single
array port at this point. Selecting BIOS and Boot LUN configuration
settings vary with HBA vendor. Refer to your array documentation
for details on verifying HBA connectivity.
QLogic QLA23xx-based FibreChannel HBA BIOS/Boot LUN settings
This section describes the steps required to configure a QLogic HBA
boot BIOS for allowing an array-attached LUN to be used as a boot
disk for the server.
This section assumes the following steps have already been
completed:
◆ The QLogic HBA's BIOS and non-volatile RAM settings have
been updated to the latest version; see section
"Installing/Upgrading firmware and boot BIOS" for details.
