Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring Targets 11. QLogic recommends restarting the host PC for the operating system to recognize the new targets. 12. The QLA4010/4010C HBA restarts and attempts to connect to the configured targets. 6.5.3 Changing the Target Configuration Parameters NOTE: If you changed the firmware configuration parameters (see section 6.6.1), a subset of those settings appear for the corresponding target configuration parameters.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring Targets ❑ Enable. When the check box is selected in this read-only field, the target is visible and accessible to the QLA4010/4010C. When this check box is not selected, the target is visible, but not accessible, to the QLA4010/4010C. ❑ Dynamic. When the check box is selected in this read-only field, the target has been identified, but is not yet visible or accessible to the QLA4010/4010C. ❑ Default Timeout.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring Targets 4. At the prompt, enter your password. The CHAP tabbed page displays (see figure 6-25). Figure 6-25. CHAP Tabbed Page 5. Select the Enable check box for the targets for which you want to use CHAP. 6. Enter the initiator name and secret you want to use in the Initiator Name and Initiator Secret columns. 7. CHAP is now enabled; the target will use CHAP to authenticate the QLA4010/4010C HBA.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 8. If the enabled targets are configured to use the same initiator name and secret, perform the following steps. Otherwise, skip to step 9. a. Select the Set Default Initiator Name and Secret box. The Initiator Name and Secret part of the page becomes inactive (you cannot specify different names and secrets for each target). b. Type the QLA4010/4010C HBA (initiator) name and secret in the Name and Secret fields in the Initiator portion of the page.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 3. Next to the phrase Configured Firmware Values, click Open. A read-only table displays, listing all of the firmware values and their current settings (see figure 6-26). Figure 6-26. Firmware Parameters Table (Read Only) 4. To change a subset of these values, click Edit. A dialog box displays with the parameters that can be changed (see figure 6-27). Figure 6-27. Firmware Parameters Dialog Box 5.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware parameter column. When you are done changing the parameters, click OK. The following message displays: Figure 6-28. Save Firmware Parameters Message Click OK. ❑ Snack. When this check box is set and the firmware is configured as an initiator, the QLA4010/4010C firmware sends SNACK requests to the target when it detects missing PDUs.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 6-34 ❑ MaxBurstLength. This column indicates the maximum length for data sequences the QLA4010/4010C uses when negotiating with a device during login phase. This parameter indicates how many units (512 bytes/unit) of data the QLA4010/4010C can send/receive. Valid values are in the range 0 to 32767 units (512 to 16 MB–1 bytes); a value of 0 indicates unlimited data units. ❑ FirstBurstLength.
Q IS0053302-00 7 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware ❑ Ethernet Pause. When this check box is selected, the QLA4010/4010C HBA accepts pause frames from a connected device. In addition, the QLA4010 HBA will issue an ethernet pause to momentarily stop incoming traffic when the SDRAM is almost full. ❑ Header Digest. When this check box is selected, iSCSi headers with CRC protection can be transmitted. In addition, incoming iSCSI headers are validated and the CRC protection removed.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 6.6.2 Restoring the Factory Defaults Perform the following steps to reset the firmware parameters to the factory defaults: 1. Click the desired adapter in the HBA tree. By default, the HBA Options tabbed page displays. 2. Click the Firmware tab. 3. Click Restore Factory Defaults. The defaults are displayed in the firmware parameters table (see figure 6-26). 6.6.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 9. The Firmware Download Warnings dialog box displays (see figure 6-29). Click Yes to continue. Figure 6-29. Firmware Download Warnings Dialog Box 10. You are prompted to enter your password. (see figure 6-30). Click OK to continue. Figure 6-30. Security Check Dialog Box 11. The FW Download Delay dialog box displays (see figure 6-31). If you want to proceed, click Yes. Otherwise, click No. Figure 6-31. FW Download Delay Dialog Box 12.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Configuring the Firmware 13. The Open dialog box displays. Select the firmware file (downloaded in step 2), then click Open (see figure 6-32). Figure 6-32. Update Firmware Dialog Boxes 14. The file name displays in the Download Firmware dialog box. Click Save. 15. Follow the instructions to reset the QLA4010/4010C HBA. 16. Restart the host PC for the operating system to recognize the new firmware. 6.6.
Q 6 – SANsurfer Control iX Performing Diagnostics 3. The Save Crash Record dialog box displays (see figure 6-33). Figure 6-33. Save Crash Record Dialog Box 4. Enter a name and location for the crash file. If you do not know the location, click Browse to display a file selection dialog. Select or create the file. The Save Crash Record dialog box re-displays. 5. Click Save. The crash file will be in saved. Send this file to QLogic technical support. 6.7 Performing Diagnostics 6.7.
