4-14 EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Installing and Configuring the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI HBA (TOE)
Installing and Configuring the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA to boot from
an EMC Storage Array
The procedure below describes how to install and configure the boot
BIOS.
Installing Boot BIOS on the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA from DOS
By default, the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA does not ship with Boot BIOS
installed. Without Boot BIOS, the HBA cannot be configured to boot
from an external storage array. Follow these steps to install Boot
BIOS from DOS.
Note: Boot BIOS also can be installed using the SANSurfer utility.
1. Create a DOS-bootable floppy disk.
2. Copy the Boot BIOS .BIN file and QLogic flash utility onto the
floppy. For the latest version of Boot BIOS refer to the EMC
support matrix. The necessary files are:
ql4010rm.bin ,
iFLASH.exe , and dos4gw.exe .
3. Boot the server with the floppy.
4. At the DOS prompt, type iFLASH /fb (this will program BIOS to
all detected HBAs in the server.)
5. The iFLASH utility will display a message if the update was
successful.
Setting Up the HBA BIOS
After the HBA is installed in the host and the EMC array is connected
to iSCSI network, you can configure an EMC-qualified QLogic iSCSI
HBA for boot support using Fast!UTIL, as described below:
1. Boot the server, and press
CTRL-Q when you see the QLogic
banner.
Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to
select
CTRL-Q for the HBA you wish to configure.
