Section 1 Introduction 1.1 How to Use this Guide The SANblade QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs) supported in this document are described in the following paragraphs; they are collectively referred to as the QLA23xx HBA unless otherwise noted.
1 – Introduction What is Fibre Channel? Q 1.3 What is Fibre Channel? Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (SCSI-FCP) standard. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology used for mass storage and networking. It connects mainframes, super computers, workstations, storage devices, and servers. Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates up to 200 MBps half-duplex and 400 MBps full-duplex on copper and optical interfaces.
Q 1 – Introduction Features is kept at the FC switch and viewed through the switch's management application or third party SAN management applications.

Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL Installation in the Computer 2.2 Installation in the Computer Perform the following steps to install the QLA23xx HBA in your PC: 1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA23xx HBA. The QLA23xx HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL Installation in the Computer 8. Connect the appropriate cable from the devices to the corresponding connector. 9. Carefully reinstall the computer cover. Insert and tighten the computer cover screws. 10. Power up all external FC devices, then power up the PC and observe the monitor. The BIOS is disabled by default. Consequently, the devices attached to the QLA23xx HBA are not identified. For example: QLogic Corporation QLA23xx PCI Fibre Channel ROM BIOS Version x.
2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode Q If you have a selectable boot BIOS and want to boot to an FC hard disk, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the QLA23xx HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals. Some new system BIOSs support selectable boot, which supersedes the QLA23xx HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the QLA23xx HBA FC hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from an FC hard disk attached to the QLA23xx HBA. 2.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode 2.3.1 Updating FCode on the QLA23xx HBA If you need to update the FCode on the QLA23xx HBA, use the QLogic qla2x00 flash utility. A QLogic Solaris SPARC driver revision 3.06 or later must be installed before the flash utility can be run. WARNING!! The following information does not apply if you are configuring a new system.
2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode Q 2.3.2 Setting the QLA23xx HBA Connection Mode Perform the following steps to view the current QLA23xx HBA connection mode and change it if necessary: 1. If you haven’t already, select the QLA23xx HBA attached to the Fibre Channel device from which you want to boot. For example, type the following at the ok prompt: " /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4" select-dev 2.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode 2.3.3 Setting the QLA23xx HBA Loop ID When the QLA23xx HBA is currently operating in loop mode (through connection mode 0 or connection mode 2), perform the following steps to view its loop ID and change it if necessary: 1. Select the QLA23xx HBA attached to the Fibre Channel device from which you want to boot. For example, type the following at the ok prompt: " /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4" select-dev 2. To view the loop ID, type the show-adapter-loopid command.
2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode Q The new data rate displays. For example: Calculating NVRAM checksum, please wait... Current HBA data rate: Two Gigabit rate Possible data rate choices: 0 - One Gigabit rate 1 - Two Gigabit rate 2 - Auto-negotiated rate QLogic recommends the Auto-negotiated rate (2), which works for most devices. 2.3.5 Selecting the Boot Device Perform the following steps to select a Fibre Channel device that is attached to the QLA23xx HBA as the boot device: 1.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode The following displays: Calculating NVRAM checksum, please wait.... done Boot device login successful Boot WWN - 20000020 37009eeb WWPN - 22000020 37009eeb Id - 82 Lun - 0 ok 6. To boot the QLA23xx HBA, type the complete boot path, including the loop ID and LUN. The loop ID and LUN must match those entered in step 5.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode If there were not at least 1.7 GB free on this disk, you would need to create a partition on the new bootable disk large enough to hold the largest temporary saveset files plus the largest used space on a partition. In this example, it would be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition. 2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your temporary saveset files.
Q 2 – QLA2310/2310F/2310FL FCode 5. Change to the root partition mount point directory. For example: cd /mnt 6. Use the ufsdump utility to copy the root partition to the new book disk. For example: ufsdump 0f - / | ufsrestore rf - 7. Use the rm command to delete the restoresymtable file: rm restoresymtable 8. Install the boot block on the new boot disk. For example: installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i` /lib/fs/ufs/bootblk/dev/rdsk/c3t130d0s0 9.

Q 11 – NetWare Driver Installation Driver Parameters Table 11-1. QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters (Continued) 11-6 Parameter Type Description /LUNS Instance This parameter tells NetWare to scan for all LUNs when this driver is loaded. Otherwise, NetWare scans only for LUN zero devices. The scanned LUN number range is 0 to (n –1), where n is specified by the /MAXLUNS=n option. /LUNS parameter example: LOAD QL2300.
Q 11 – NetWare Driver Installation Driver Parameters Table 11-1. QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters (Continued) FC2354601-00 J Parameter Type Description /FAILBACK=n Global This parameter sets the failback delay time period to n seconds. This is the time period that elapses when a port update event has occurred before any attempt is made to failback paths/ports. /FAILBACK parameter example: LOAD QL2x00.
Q 11 – NetWare Driver Installation Driver Parameters Table 11-1. QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters (Continued) 11-8 Parameter Type Description /SKIPREPORT Instance This parameter avoids executing the SCSI Report LUNs command during LUN scanning. Omitting this parameter allows the driver to use the response from the SCSI Report LUNS command to optimize the LUN scan by performing SCSI Inquiry commands only to LUNs listed in the response. /SKIPREPORT parameter example: LOAD QL2x00.
Q 11 – NetWare Driver Installation Driver Parameters Table 11-1. QL2300.HAM Driver Parameters (Continued) Parameter Type Description /QUALIFIED Instance This parameter extends the inquiry data LUN present test to allow RAID subsystem LUNs to be filtered as follows: LUNs returning 20 XX (where XX is nonzero) are reported; LUNs returning 20 00 are ignored. /QUALIFIED parameter example: LOAD QL2x00.
