The QLogic vCenter Plug-in supports Tomcat 5, 6, and 7. The installer dynamically detects the Tomcat
version and installs accordingly.

• “Starting and Stopping Tomcat on Linux” on page 14
• “Installing Tomcat on Windows” on page 14
• “Starting and Stopping Tomcat on Windows” on page 14

Note: For ESX systems, before you perform a Flash update on a QLogic Adapter using the vCenter
Plug-in, ensure that the QLflash utility is also installed. Follow the instructions in the Installing
the Flash Utility section.
Caution: The Flash update may take up to 10 minutes to complete. Do not cancel the task or
reboot the server during this time. Doing so may corrupt the firmware on the
adapter.
