EMC Fibre Channel and iSCSI with QLogic Host Bus Adapters in the Windows Environment
Installation and Configuration
7. For QLA236x/QLE236x execute the following additional
command:
flasutil /I /FR
This command writes the Flash with RISC code 2322ipx.bin.
8. To load the EMC-specific NVRAM settings files, execute the
following additional command:
flasutil /L /N <filename.ext>
Example for qla2340:
flasutil /L /N emc2340.dat
9. When the procedure has finished, remove the diskette and reboot
the host.
With the latest BIOS installed, configure and verify the BIOS settings
to use the EMC storage array as the boot disk. Ensure that only a
single I/O path to the LUN exists when installing the OS. A single
HBA should have access to only a single array port at this point.
QLogic QLA23xx-based FibreChannel HBA BIOS/boot LUN settings
This section describes the steps required to configure a QLogic HBA
boot BIOS for allowing an array-attached LUN to be used as a boot
disk for the server.
This section assumes the following steps have been completed:
◆ The QLogic HBA's BIOS and NVRAM settings are updated to the
latest version. Refer to "“Install/upgrade firmware and boot BIOS
from DOS” on page 25" for details.
◆ In direct-attach configurations, an HBA has a physical connection
to the array port.
◆ In fabric-attach configurations, an HBA has a physical connection
to the switch/fabric, and has been zoned to the array, so a single
HBA to be used for boot has one logical I/O path to the array.
Refer to your switch documentation for details.
Before configuring HBA settings to boot from an array-based LUN,
your server's settings should be adjusted to disable booting from an
internal system drive. The procedure for disabling boot from an
internal system drive is largely dependent upon the server platform.
