EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic Fibre Channel HBAs and CNAs in the Windows Environment
Installation and Configuration
Note: Driver version 9.1.7.16 and later requires a minimum of Windows 2003
with Service Pack 2 and STORPort hotfix Q950903. Since these required
patches/QFEs do not come pre-installed on the Windows 2003 installation
CD-ROM, you must install Windows 2003 using an installation CD with
Service Pack 2 included in the installation kit. If you do not have an
installation CD that includes Service Pack 2, install the Windows OS using
QLogic driver v9.1.4.15 and then upgrade to v9.1.7.16 or later after installing
the correct Service Pack and QFE.
To install Windows:
1. Insert a bootable Windows CD-ROM in the drive and reboot the
system. If your system has a bootable disk already configured
from a previous installation, the software will prompt you to
press any key to boot from CD-ROM.
If you are booting from your server's internal hard disk, you may
skip to Step 6 on page 60 when the Windows Setup screen
displays.
2. If you are installing Windows to boot from an external array disk,
you will need to supply setup with the adapter driver. To do this,
immediately after the Windows installation begins, press F6
when directed or when the blue screen appears. Otherwise,
proceed to step 6.
Pressing F6 tells the Windows installer you want to load a
third-party driver before proceeding with the installation.
