Confirming driver installation with Windows tools
You can use two methods to determine driver installation, depending on your Windows installation:
the Driver Verifier and Device Manager.
Driver Verifier Manager
Verify that the adapter storage driver (bfa) is loaded for HBAs, CNAs, Fabric Adapters and that the
storage driver and network driver (bna) are loaded for CNAs and Fabric Adapters with ports
configured in CNA or NIC mode using the Driver Verifier Manager tool (Verifier.exe). The verifier.exe
command is located in the Windows\System32 folder in Windows Server 2003 systems.
Select the option to display the following information about currently installed drivers:
• Loaded: The driver is currently loaded and verified.
• Unloaded: The driver is not currently loaded, but it was loaded at least once since you restarted
the system.
• Never Loaded: The driver was never loaded. This status can indicate that the driver's image file
is corrupted or that you specified a driver name that is missing from the system.
Device Manager
Verify if the driver is installed and Windows is recognizing the adapter using the following steps.
1. Open the Device Manager.
• For CNAs, HBAs, and Fabric Adapters, when you expand the list of SCSI and RAID
controllers or Storage controllers an instance of the adapter model should display for
adapter port installed.
• For CNAs and Fabric Adapter ports configured in CNA or NIC mode, when you expand
Network adapters, an instance of Brocade 10G Ethernet Adapter should also display for
each port installed.
For example, if two two-port CNAs (total of four ports) are installed, four instances of the
adapter model display (two under SCSI and RAID controllers and two under Network adapters).
As another example, if only one port on a Fabric Adapter is configured in CNA or NIC mode, two
instances of the adapter model display (one under SCSI and RAID controllers and one under
Network adapters).
2. Right-click an instance of your adapter displayed under Device Manager.
3. Select Properties to display the Properties dialog box.
