● VMware:

6.1.2 Enabling Failover During Installation
During SANsurfer installation, the system prompts you to specify whether or not to enable failover.
Enabling failover notifies SANsurfer how you want to create and validate the saved configurations.
Selecting “enable failover” does not cause the platform-specific failover driver to load automatically.
NOTE: Failover applies only to Linux hosts running the std driver.
6.1.3 Understanding the Displayed Hard Drive Size Under LUN Information
Two different measurement formats are used when displaying the hard drive size: decimal (GB) and
binary (GB). Both Linux and Windows show the correct number using their numeric format:
● Windows uses binary (numbers that are a power of 2).
● Linux uses decimal (numbers that are a power of 10).
For example:
2^10 is 1,024. The closest decimal number is 10^3 or 1,000.
2^20 is 1,048,576. The closest decimal number is 10^6 or 1,000,000.
2^30 is 1,073,741,824. The closest decimal number is 10^9 or 1,000,000,000.
6.2 Windows
6.2.1 ConfigRequired Parameter
Under Windows, the ConfigRequired parameter in the registry dictates how devices are seen by the
OS.
When ConfigRequired=0, both persistently-bound and new devices appear as enabled. This includes
devices that might have been previously unconfigured using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. You can set
this parameter in the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Driver Setting, “Present
targets that are persistently bound plus any new target(s) found.”
When ConfigRequired=1, only persistently-bound devices appear as configured. New devices or
devices that were previously unconfigured using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager appear as unconfigured.
You can set this parameter in the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Driver Setting, “Present
target(s) that are persistently bound only.”
NOTE: For the new Windows driver (version 8.2.0.10 and later), you must set the ConfigRequired
parameter to 1 to prevent the OS from seeing unconfigured entries.
6.3 Linux
6.3.1 Running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager and Connecting to a Remote Red Hat Linux
Machine
When running SANsurfer FC HBA Manager and connecting to a remote Red Hat Linux machine, you
must modify the /etc/hosts files on the two machines to allow proper operation of asynchronous
notifications from the agent to SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
