Installation and Configuration

How this guide works

In an effort to simp lify the installation and configuration of QLogic

Fibre Chann el HBAs, this guide follows a simp le flow chart, as

shown in Figure 1 on page 17, that gu ides you through the necessary

procedu res to connect your Wind ows server to EMC storage arrays.

Tips on p lanning, miscellaneous p rocedures, and troubleshooting

information are located in Chap ter 2, Miscellaneou s Planning and

Procedures, an d Chap ter 3, Troubleshooting.

1. Installing the H BA on p age 18

2. Booting from the external storage array on page 24:

a. If notinstalling an IA-64 or EFI-based server:

Create a floppy d isk with the EMC-approved dr iver and

BIOS on p age 24. Install/ up grad e firmw are and boot BIOS from DOS on

page 25.

QLogic QLA23xx-based FibreChannel HBA BIOS/ boot

LUN settings on page 26.

Verifying array/ LUN visibility for boot on page 50

b. If installing an IA-64 or EFI-based server:

Installing a RAMDISK und er the EFI shell on p age 50

3. Installing the Wind ows operating system on p age 52.

4. Installing H BA driver and software utilities on page 60.

5. Verifying connectivity to the storage array on page 72.

Downloading latest QLogic drivers/ firmwa re/ BIOS filesThroughou t this docum ent, there are references to up dated files from

QLogic. All of the versions includ ed on the QLogic CD packaged

with your H BA are current as of this documen ts release. However,

there may be up dates to these files that m ay be necessary to

dow nload. For these, use the QLogic website,

http:///www.qlogic.com. From the main page on the QLogic

website, clickDownloads link on the left side of the p age. On the

resulting supp ort page, click the EMC link un der the OEM Modelssection. On the resu lting page, click the EMC Array category for your

of the HBA. Insert ing a 3.3v HBA into a 5v slot would cau se severe

dam age to both the HBA and the server. Therefore, the slot keys

denote the typ e of voltage provided by the slot and effectivelyprevent a voltage incomp atible HBA from being inserted.

Figure 2 shows how PCI slots will app ear with their keys and w hat

type of voltage is provided for each slot type.

Installing the HBA 23


QLogic offers HBAs for each bus/ slot type ava ilable. Table 1 shows

each of the EMC-sup ported QLogic HBAs, and their respective slot

requirements. Be sure to consult both your server user guide andQLogic to insure that th e HBA you want to u se is compat ible with

your server s bus.

Remember that som e of the older H BAs are tall (also referred to as

full-height) and may not fit into a server w ith a low -profile chassis.

These factors must be considered before imp lementing you r

configuration to avoid unnecessary delays and possible equipm entswaps or returns.

Note: NVRAM is short for N on-volatile RAM. This is a special portion of

mem ory on the HBA wh ere HBA settings are stored.

Note: Driver and BIOS files may not fit on the same flopp y. If you run out of

disk space, use a single flopp y d isk for the d river files, and another d isk for

the BIOS files.

Install/ upgrade firmwa re and boot BIOS from DOSTo u pd ate using a DOS boot d iskette, follow these steps:

1. Format a 3.5-inch d iskette and extract the BIOS and NVRAM files

from the archive file (.zip or self-extracting .exe) onto the

diskette. Make sure flasutil.exe and the sou rce files

ql23rom.bin/ql2322rm.bib/2322ipx.bin are in the same

directory. EMC-specific settings are contain ed in files nam ed

emcXXXX.def an d emcXXXX.dat where XXXX is the model num berof the HBA. These settings files (also referred to as NVRAM

setting files) shou ld also be in th e same directory with the flash

utility and source files. Note that som e versions of BIOS may use

different filenam es for dep end ing on the version and H BA mod el.

Be sure to check the readme includ ed with the BIOS files to make

sure you have all of the app ropriate files before proceeding to

step 2.

2. Reboot your Windows host system u sing a DOS diskette.

3. At theA:\> prom pt, insert the diskette that contains the QLogic

BIOS files (created in step 1).

4. Run FlasUtil program by typing flasutil at the comm and

prompt.

5. If the QLX23XX controller is detected, the following is displayed :

QL23XX Adapter found at I/O address: xxxx

Note: If the QL23XX controller is not detected , run flasutil again withthe /I (Ignore Subsystem ID) option.

6. Select F to w rite Flash. FlasUtil wr ites Flash to ad apter using

ql23rom.bin or ql2322rm.bin found in the same d irectory.

Verifying array/ LUN visibility for boot

Verification of the H BA ability to access the boot LUN, and boot BIOSsettings is recomm ended before installing the OS. Care mu st be taken

to ensure that only a single I/ O p ath to the LUN exists when

installing th e OS, a single H BA should have access to only a single

array p ort at th is point. Selecting BIOS and Boot LUN configuration

settings vary with H BA vend or.

Refer to your arr ay d ocumen tation for details on verifying H BA

connectivity.

Installing a RAMDISK under the EFI shell

Intel provides an EFI toolkit on th e Intel website

http:/ / ww w.intel.com/ technology/ efi. Included in the EFI toolkit is

the RAMDISK driver. To install the RAMDISK dr iver on your system ,

copy the RAMDISK.EFI file to you r USB flash d rive.

Insert the USB flash dr ive in you r EFI-based server s USB port and

boot the server to the EFI shell. At the shell promp t, locate your USB

flash d rive in the device mapping tab le. A line similar to the

following shou ld be listed in the mapp ing table:

Fs0: Acpi (PNPOA03,0)/Pci (1D|1)Usb(1,0)/HD(Part1,Sig0D0C0B0A)

Switch to th e USB flash d rive by typ ing in th e corresponding FS

nu mber, followed by a colon (i.e., Fs0:) and press Enter.

At the FS prom pt, type Load RAMDISK.EFI and p ress Enter. You

should see the message noting that the d river has loaded successfully.

To locate the new RAMDISK, type Exit and p ress Enter. From the

system Boot Manager m enu , select EFI Shell to go back to th e EFI

Shell. The device map shou ld now show a new FS device as well as

the previous USB device.

Note: The order of the devices may h ave shifted with the discovery of the

RAMDISK.

Fs0: VenMsg(06ED4DD0-FF78-11D3-BDC4-00A0C94053D1)Fs1: Acpi (PNP0A03,0)/Pci (1D|1)/Usb(1,0)/HD(Part1,Sig0D0C0B0A)

In the above example, the RAMDISK is now Fs0. Now you can copy

your driver files for you r HBA to the RAMDISK. Sw itch to your USBflash d rive with the dr iver files and copy the files to the RAMDISK by


using the copy comm and. As w ith DOS, the copy command can u se

Installing the Windows operating system

This section is a step-by-step p rocedu re for installing Wind ows

2000/ 2003 Operating System to either an internal or external boot

device.

After you have your HBA(s) installed in you r server, and configured

for external boot if necessary, the next step is to install the Windows

operating system. If you intend to boot to an external device please

refer to Booting from the external storage array on p age 24 for

setting the boot BIOS for external boot and selecting the external bootlun . If your system is EFI-based refer to Installing a RAMDISK

und er the EFI shell on p age 50. Also refer to your servers

docum entation for preparing you r server for external boot.

Note: If you intend to boot to an external disk, only present the LUN that you

intend to boot from. All add itional lun s can be add ed after the installation.

This will eliminate any confusion on selecting the correct part ition for

installation and eliminates any problems that the Operating System couldencounter on reboot du ring the installation. Also confirm th ere is only one

path to the storage array. Having m ore than one p ath can cause the operating

system to fail du ring the installation.

You n eed th e following m aterials to install Wind ows:

A Wind ows CD-ROM for the Window s version you w ish to

install

AN EMC-app roved H BA driver diskette for Window s, or an EFI

RAMDisk if it is an EFI based install

To install Windows:

1. Insert a bootable Window s CD-ROM in the drive and reboot the

system. If your system h as a bootable disk already configured

from a previous installation, the software will promp t you to

press any key to boot from CD-ROM.2. If you are installing Window s to boot from an external array disk,

you w ill need to su pp ly setup w ith the H BA driver. To do th is,

imm ediately after the Windows installation begins, press F6

wh en d irected or w hen the blue screen ap pears. Otherwise,

proceed to step 6.

Pressing F6 tells the Wind ows installer you want to load a

third-par ty driver before proceeding w ith the installation.

imp lement TCP/ IP protocol on the H BA and relieves the host of any

I/ O protocol processing. This type of adap ter also is called a TCP/ IP

Offload Engine (TOE) ad ap ter. Off-load ing frees the system to

perform other tasks and optimizes system performance.

Installation of the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA is similar to installation of

Booting from SAN with QLogic QLA40xx and Microsoft Initiator

The following procedu re for booting from SAN with a QLogic iSCSIHBA with Microsoft Initiator Service is illust rated using a CLARiiON

CX series storage arr ay. Booting with a QLogic iSCSI HBA with


87/128

Boo ting from SAN w ith QLog ic Q LA40xx and Mic rosoft Initia to r 87

g y g g

Microsoft Initiator Service can also be done on a Symmetrix storage

array. For m ore information, refer to Symm etrix LUN Masking

documentation.

The importan t concept is understan ding the HBAs iqn name, its

relationship to persistant binding in a SAN env ironmen t, and how

the Microsoft Initiator Service chan ges the iqn n ame.

IMPORTANT!Failing to change the iqn name before installing the Windows

operating system w ill cause the hos t to blue screen for an

inaccessible boot device when the Microsof t Initiator Service

changes the iqn name after being installed.

Note: Booting from SAN w ith QLA40xx and Microsoft Initiator follows the

same setu p configur ation as boot from SAN with the QLogic QLA40xx iSCSI

HBA.

IMPORTANT!At this point, only connect the HBA that will be used to boot.

Remaining HBA(s) can be connected after the Window s operating

system is installed. Failing to do so could result in a blue screen

during the installation process. Best practice recommends having

only the LUN you will be booting from presented to the host. This

will ease the process of se lecting the correct boot LUN during the

HBA configuration and during the O/S installation. Remaining

LUN S can be added after the ins tallation.

1. The first step is to know what you are going to name your server

and how that tran slates into an iqn nam e. Microsoft Initiator uses

the followin g naming conven tion: iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft

:servername.domainn ame. Therefore, if the server nam e is to be

test, and the domain nam e is workgroup, then the name the

Initiator w ill use to renam e the H BA w ill be

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:test.workgroup.


2. On the host, go into the QLogic BIOS and change the iqn nam e to

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:servernam e. (If netw orking is

configured d uring installation, set the iqn name to

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft :servername.domainname).

This can be accomplished by the following procedu re:


88/128


a. On POST when the QLogic HBA displays, press < Ctrl Q>

for Fast!Util.

b. Go to Configuration Settings > Host Adapter Settings.

c. Toggle down to Initiator iSCSI Name.

d . Press Enter on the name and type in thenew name.

e. Press ESC twice to get to Save Settings.

f. Save the settings. This will force a login to the storage device.

3. Register the new iqn name and add it to your storage group on

the CLARiiON storage array.

Note: Only register one p ath. Ensure that the p ath is from the SP that thelun belongs to. Failing to do so could result in a blue screen du ring the

installation process. You can also refer to CLARiiON docum entation for a

more d etailed p rocedure for setting u p Storage Groups and Registering

host names.

4. On the host in the QLogic Fast!Util, go to the iSCSI Boot

Settings.

5. In Primary Boot Device press < Enter>.

This will bring you to the d evice list page.

6. Select the DGC device that displays the RAID level.

Ensure that the iSCSI Boot field on that p age is set to Enabled .

7. Save all settings and reboot the host and load the Operating

System. Refer to Installing the Window s operating system onpage 52.

8. After the operating system is loaded and before the initiator

service is loaded , register the remaining p aths on the CX storage

array.

9. Install the Initiator Service.


10. During the Microsoft Initiator installation, deselect th e Software

Initiator. ON LY ins tall the Initiator Service. This will attemp t to

change the iqn na me to fit the Microsoft nam ing convention.

Since this was d one in step 2, it w ill not blue screen th e host for aninaccessible boot d evice.

Where to find the driver

You can find the Fibre Chann el HBA driver:

On th e QLogic CD-ROM that accomp anied th e HBA. Copy th e

dr iver from the OS-specific directory: \ Wind ows2000 or

\ Wind ows2003

On the QLogic website. Refer to Download ing latest QLogic

drivers/ firmw are/ BIOS files on page 16

To ease installation of the d river, unzip the d river file onto a blank

diskette.

Windows 2003 STORPort upda tes

Currently th e shipp ing version of Window s 2003 requires post-RTM

hot fixes to resolve some known issues. For all Wind ows 2003STORPort installations, you should obtain the current Microsoft QFE

hotfix listed in theEMC Support M atrix with the H BA driver

revisions.

Install this patch before installing the HBA driver. Window s 2003

Service Pack 1 (x86 and IA64) and Window s 2003 x64 contain the

latest STORPort hot fix and does not require a p ost-RTM QFE.


IMPORTANT!EMC recommends that users planning to upgrade to Service Pack 1

for Windows 2003 should upgrade the ir HBA drivers to the latestsupported version prior to installing the service pack.


95/128


Migrating Windows 2003 drivers from SCSI to STOR

As of April 2006, STORPort has been fully ad opted by th ird-party

software and tap e vendor s and EMC is proceeding towards sole

STORPort sup port u nd er Wind ows 2003. Add ing to the technicalbenefits of STORPort, phasing-out SCSI miniport on Wind ow s 2003

will provid e better coordination of driver version support from

OEMs. STORPort will be the comm on d river platform for all server

and storage vendors to p rovide the customer w ith compatible

solutions.

In the April 2006EMC Support M atrix (ESM), EMC will make SCSI

driver releases for Windows 2003 x86 from QLogic frozen as the last

sup ported Window s 2003 SCSI versions. Once this end -of-life (EOL)

is in effect, new installs will still be permitted with the SCSI drivers

for three mon ths, but EMC encourages customers to u se STORPort

instead. Three months after the EOSL (after th e Jun eESM) EMC will

make th ese Window s 2003 SCSI versions EOL. Upon EOSL, start ing

with the JulyESM, the Windows 2003 SCSI versions w ill no longer be

listed and w ill not be sup ported for new installations. Existing

customers w ho h ave Window s 2003 SCSI already installed w ill besup ported , and any fix or MS HCL sup port w ill likely require an

up grad e to STORPort. Windows 2000 will continu e to use SCSI

drivers as the only option.

What to expect when moving from SCSI miniport/ Full Port drivers to

STORPort drivers

In STORPort drivers, functions or settings that u sers may have set

may no longer be available or may be accessed differently than in the

past. These are now controlled by the OS. EMC has always p rovided

stand ard settings wh ich w ere accessible via dr iver configuration

utilities. For STORPort drivers, EMC will require that the default

settings for STORPort drivers be used u nless otherwise instructed.

Configuration utilities for STORPort that ru n u nd er Wind ows

(SAN Sur fer as well as the Qlogic Ease of Use installation k it), will

allow access to settings for the driver that m ay be changed via the

ut ility if necessary.
