<CTRL-Q> for Fast!UTIL

. (This prompt appears with the

QLogic startup banner.)

whether there are multiple QLogic HBAs installed in the server:

• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu

appears.

• If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of memory addresses

occupied by those HBAs appears.

Using the arrow keys, select the desired HBA and press

ENTER

The Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.

The loop ID value entered here is the decimal representation of
the FC-AL loop ID. You do not need to perform any FC-AL
AL_PA hexadecimal translation.

Select 0 for all HBAs on one node, select 1 for all HBAs on the next node,
and so on.
