EMC HBA Settings

 

 

EMC requires configuring the QLogic BIOS settings with the

 

 

EMC-approved NVRAM settings file. This file contains all of the

 

 

BIOS settings for the QLogic adapters that have been tested and

 

 

approved for connection to the EMC storage array.

 

 

The QLogic CD-ROM contains the latest EMC-approved BIOS and

 

 

NVRAM settings files at the time of creation of the CD-ROM. If more

 

 

recent files exist, you can find them on the QLogic website. Refer to

 

 

Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2.
