QLogic SANSurfer SANBlade Manager v2.0.21

Stratus ftServers are not supported using the qLogic SANSurfer SANBlade

Manager Software or Agents.

EMC has approved the use of a specialized version of the QLogic SANSurfer SANBlade Manager for use with attached EMC Symmetrix and CLARiiON storage arrays. Only version 2.0.21 should be used; this version is posted in the EMC section on the QLogic website.

This Windows utility provides information on the installed QLogic HBAs, driver versions, mapped targets, statistics, and configuration settings. It also has a feature to update the HBA firmware/BIOS and NVRAM. (You should obtain the latest EMC-approved firmware/BIOS and NVRAM files from the QLogic website. Refer to Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2 for instructions.)

For information on the use and features of the QLogic SANSurfer SANBlade Manager utility, refer to the documentation posted with this utility.

The SANSurfer software is not multipath-aware, and as such may misreport HBA targets that are configured in multipath. This does not affect the use of the tool; however, it will accurately report targets only on ports that own an active LUN0.
