output control (IOCTL) module. After installing but before starting SANsurfer, execute the following
command:
# modprobe -a qioctlmod
If qlremote is not running, you might need to start it. To check to see if qlremote is running, execute
the following command:
# ps -C qlremote
If there is no output from the preceding command, then qlremote is not running. To start qlremote if it
is not running, execute the following command:
# /usr/local/bin/qlremote
6.4 Solaris
6.4.1 Target Persistent Binding
On Solaris, the qla_mp_config_required parameter in the configuration file dictates how the OS sees
devices. The qla_mp_config_required flag in the QLogic configuration file (qla2x00.conf) controls
persistent binding of targets. The default configuration file that comes with the
QLogic driver does not have an entry for this flag. An entry for this flag appears in the configuration file
only after saving the target configuration data with SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
By default, SANsurfer FC HBA Manager sets the qla_mp_config_required flag to 1. When this flag is
set to 1, only target devices that are persistently bound in the configuration file are reported to the
OS. The driver does not report any new or unconfigured targets to the OS. In other words, the default
behavior for this flag is “persistent targets only.”
When the qla_mp_config_required flag is set to 0, the driver reports both persistently bound and new
targets to the OS. This is equivalent to “persistent plus new.”
NOTE: After saving the qla_mp_config_required parameter to the configuration file, the driver
ignores the old, English-style persistent binding entries. For example:
hba<#>-SCSI-target-id-<#>-fibre-channel-port-name="<device WWPN>";
6.5 NetWare
6.5.1 Operating SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on NetWare 5.x/6.x Servers
Operating SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on NetWare 5.x/6.x servers requires the Internetwork Packet
Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange (IPX/SPX) network protocol.
6.5.2 Operating SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on NetWare
To run SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on NetWare, you must modify the FILES and BUFFERS parameters in
the CONFIG.SYS file (located on the NetWare server boot drive) as shown in the following example:
FILES = 100
BUFFERS = 50
