Installing SANsurfer Switch Manager software

Use the SANsurfer Switch Manager application to configure the QLogic Fibre Channel Switch.
Install the software on the Control Point PC.

1. Close all programs currently running and insert the SANsurfer Switch Manager Installation Disk

into CD-ROM drive.

2. Open the CD with Windows Explorer. Locate and run the following installation program file:

Windows_5.00.xx.xx.exe

3. Follow on-screen instructions to install the software. Click Next to accept defaults.

Uninstalling SANsurfer Switch Manager software

When uninstalling the software, use the QLogic uninstall program in Program Files.

NOTE: Do not attempt to use Windows Control Panel Add/Remove Programs to uninstall
SANsurfer Switch Manager.

The

UninstallerData

folder in the Install directory contains the uninstall program. Also, a

shortcut/link to the uninstall program was installed in the installation directory during the SANsurfer
Switch Manager installation process. The default installation directory is:

C:\Program Files\QLogic_Corporation\SANsurfer

1. Browse for the uninstall program file or the shortcut/link that points to the uninstall program

file.

The uninstall program shortcut is in the same folder as the program shortcut (Start menu, program
group, on desktop, or user specified) that is used to start the SANsurfer Switch Manager
application.

2. Double-click the uninstall program file or shortcut/link, and follow the instructions to uninstall

the SANsurfer Switch Manager application.

Fibre Channel switch domains

If a system has more than one SCSI Fibre Channel switch, such as in a redundant system, it is
required that each switch have a unique domain number. This is a requirement for switches with
ISLs AND for switches without ISLs. The Fibre Channel switch zoning procedure provides
instructions for assigning domain numbers.

Fibre Channel switch zoning

The following procedure applies to a fabric with two QLogic SANbox 5600 Fibre Channel switches.
On each switch there are two hard zones. All four zones are discrete—there are no ISLs connecting
switches.

With this procedure you do the following on each switch:

Assign a domain number to the switch

Create a zone set

Create two zones in the zone set

Change the zone types from soft to hard (ACL)
