2. After Fast!UTIL loads, the display depends on whether there are

 

 

 

 

multiple QLogic HBAs installed:

 

 

 

 

• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options

Leave the server here so the HBA will remain active while you

5. Using EMC ControlCenter Navisphere Management software,
