This part of the SANblade 2300 User’s Guide describes the Fast!UTIL BIOS utility,
which allows advanced users to customize the configuration of the QLA23xx HBA
and the connected devices (see section 14). Also described in the part of the
SANblade 2200 User’s Guide is the SANblade Control GUI, a stand-alone
application for configuring your QLA23xx HBAs, referred to as HBAs or adapters.
The SANblade Control FX GUI has separate programs for the following operating
systems:
n Solaris SPARC (see sections 15 and 16)
n Windows NT/Windows 2000 (see sections 17 and 18)
n Windows 2000 with virtual interface (VI) support (see section 19)
These programs have the different GUIs. Please refer to the sections that
correspond to your operating system.
The SANblade Control GUI for Solaris SPARC and Windows 2000 (no VI support)
has two parts, jointly referred to as SANblade Control FX:
n SANblade Control FX Wizard. This part of the GUI directs you through a
standard, minimal configuration of the HBAs and the target devices to which they
are attached.
n SANblade Control FX Application. This is the standard GUI, which lets you
customize the configuration of the HBAs. The SANblade Control FX Application
contains the same minimal configuration features of SANblade Control FX
Wizard as well as advanced features such as flashing the NVRAM, performing
diagnostics, etc.
The SANblade Control GUI for Windows 2000 (with VI support) is referred to as
SANblade Control VIX. This GUI is only supported with QLA2350/2352 HBAs.
