EMC Fibre Channel and iSCSI with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Planning, Miscellaneous Procedures, and Troubleshooting
Installing and Configuring the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI HBA (TOE)
The QLA4010/4010C is an iSCSI HBA that provides PCI connectivity
to SCSI using the iSCSI protocol. iSCSI enables IP-based SANs, which
are similar to Fibre Channel SANs. The QLA4010/4010C HBAs
implement TCP/IP protocol on the HBA and relieves the host of any
I/O protocol processing. This type of adapter also is called a TCP/IP
Offload Engine (TOE) adapter. Off-loading frees the system to
perform other tasks and optimizes system performance.
Installation of the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA is very similar to installation
of other QLogic HBAs. Refer to the sections for installing the HBA
into your server and the advanced driver installation section for
configurations that are booting from the EMC storage array.
Using the QLogic iSCSI SANsurfer Application to Configure iSCSI Devices
QLogic provides a minimal version of their SANsurfer software that
is used to configure settings for the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA. For config-
urations not using Microsoft’s iSCSI Initiator, the SANsurfer iSCSI
HBA Manager should be used to configure your iSCSI HBAs.
Install the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager on your server using the
self-extracting executable installation package (available in the EMC
QLA4010 CD-ROM kit or from the QLogic website
http://www.qlogic.com.) During installation, you may choose
whether to install both the GUI and Agent, or just the GUI. If you are
installing on the system that has the QLA4010 HBA(s) installed,
install both the GUI and Agent.
After SANsurfer is installed, it can be started from the Start menu, or
from the desktop icon if you choose to create one.
