EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic FC and iSCSI HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
• If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu
appears.
• If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of addresses occupied
by those HBAs appears. Since the EMC storage array is
attached to the lowest-numbered PCI slot, select the first
adapter from the list; then press ENTER. The Fast!UTIL
Options menu appears.
4. From the Fast!UTIL Options menu, select Configuration
Settings and press ENTER.
5. From the Configuration Settings menu, select Adapter Settings
and press ENTER.
6. From the Host Adapter Settings menu, select Host Adapter
BIOS and press ENTER to enable it if it is not already enabled.
7. Press ESC to exit the Configuration Settings menu.
8. From the Configuration Settings menu, select iSCSI Boot
Settings and press ENTER.
9. From the iSCSI Boot Settings menu, select Primary and press
ENTER to enable this option if it is not already enabled.
The adapter will scan for attached storage devices which will be
displayed on the screen.
Note: Depending upon the VNX series or CLARiiON system model, the
HBA may not yet detect any LUNs or it may detect a LUNZ labeled
device. This behavior is acceptable and to be expected.
10. Skip from the BIOS configuration to a separate host that has
Unisphere/Navisphere Management software installed and is
attached to the VNX series or CLARiiON storage system.
Since the operating system is not yet installed, the Naviagent/CLI
is not running on the Linux host. Therefore, the HBA may need to
be registered manually.
From the management host, manually register the host's HBA
and add the host to the newly created storage group using
Unisphere/Navisphere Management software.
11. Return to the BIOS configuration and reboot the host.
When the QLogic banner is displayed (in Step 2), press CTRL-Q.
