Step 2: Install the Hardware
Refer to hardware installation guides to install HBAs in host systems (see
section 1.1). Cable target devices through the combination of hubs and switches in
your configuration.
Verification Before installing the device driver, verify the presence of HBAs at
power up using the QLogic Fast!UTIL utility. Type ALT+Q or CTRL+Q
during power up to enter Fast!UTIL. Fast!UTIL allows you to perform
basic HBA configuration. Fast!UTIL can verify device connectivity.

Step 3: Install the Driver
Refer to the appropriate software installation guide (see section 1.1) and readme.txt
file to install a device driver on host systems.
NOTE:
■ Some operating systems come from the operating system manufacturer
with a QLogic miniport device driver. To ensure support for the latest
QLogic HBA and SANsurfer application features, install the most current
device driver. The most current device driver versions can be found at the
QLogic web site (www.qlogic.com
).
■ Connections to iSCSI targets must be configured with SANsurfer iSCSI
HBA Manager or QLogic Fast!UTIL in order for them to be visible to the
operating system.
Verification Verify that HBAs recognize target devices by using operating system
device configuration utilities, or use SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager
to display target devices found on an HBA.
In Windows® 2000/Windows Server® 2003, use the computer management utility
to view which target devices are configured on which HBAs, and to view and format
devices and LUNs that are found.
In Red Hat®/SuSE Linux®, open /var/log/messages to view which target devices
are configured on which HBAs. Entries are also created for each HBA recognized
by the driver. Each entry contains information about target devices and LUNs that
are found.
In Solaris® SPARC®, open /var/adm/messages to view which target devices are
configured on which HBAs.
