EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment

Configuring an EMC Boot Device

Soft Zoning

These instructions let you configure the soft zoning as this setup
requires. They are not a complete explanation of zoning. Refer to the
documentation that is available for your switches for a complete
guide.

1. Ensure that the server and storage system are cabled properly

and powered on.

For the HBA’s WWPN to appear in the Name Server database, the
server must be in the boot BIOS menu. If the server is not in the
boot BIOS menu:

a. Reboot the server. When the QLogic BIOS banner (shown

below) appears, press

CTRL–Q

Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to
select CTRL-Q for the HBA you wish to configure.

b. After

Fast!UTIL

loads, the display depends on whether there

are multiple QLogic HBAs installed:

c. Select Configuration Settings from the menu.

d. Select Selectable Boot Settings from the Host Adapter

Settings

menu; then select the first Boot Port Name entry.

The HBA will scan for available target ports. The HBA might
not find any target ports, but this step allows the HBA to
register with the switch database.

e. Leave the server, and continue to step 2.

2. Start a switch web-based or Telnet-based configuration session.

• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the

Fast!UTIL

Options

menu appears.

• If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of

addresses occupies by those HBAs appears. Use the
arrow keys to select the desired HBA; then press

ENTER

. The

Fast!UTIL

Options menu appears.
