iSCSI Boot Setup Using Fast!UTIL

Fast!UTIL is the QLogic iSCSI BIOS Configuration utility that configures the iSCSI TCP/IP offload engine
(TOE). Use Fast!UTIL to program the QLogic iSCSI adapter to boot from the SAN.

Accessing Fast!UTIL

To access Fast!UTIL for PXE, iSCSI, and FCoE, respectively, press the CTRL+Q keys during the QLogic
8200 and 3200 Series Adapters BIOS initialization when the PXE, iSCSI, or FCoE QLogic banner displays.

It may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear. The Fast!UTIL Options menu for iSCSI
contains the following selections:

• Configuration Settings

• Scan iSCSI Devices

• iSCSI Disk Utility

• Ping Utility

• Loopback Test

• Reinit Adapter

• Select Host Adapter

• Exit Fast!UTIL

Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the adapter you want to configure. After changing the settings, exit and
reboot your system to load the new Fast!UTIL parameters.

Configuring iSCSI Boot Settings

To configure the iSCSI boot settings.

1. Find the QLogic Adapter iSCSI name and IP address. From the Fast!UTIL Options menu for iSCSI,

select Configuration Settings.

2. Select Host Adapter Settings.

3. Write down the iSCSI name and IP address.

Note: If you change the iSCSI name, it is used for new iSCSI sessions. Existing sessions do not

use new settings until you log out and log in again.
