EMC Host Connectivity with QLogic FC and iSCSI HBAs and FCoE CNAs for the Linux Environment
Installing and Configuring the BIOS Settings
Note: For Linux attach, EMC recommends setting the Connection Options
parameter to 1 when attached to a fabric and to 0 when attached to an EMC
storage array directly.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) CNAs
EMC recommends the default settings for the QLogic CNAs. There
are no settings to the BIOS or NVRAM to alter.
iSCSI HBAs
The only settings that are required to complete the installation are
those of the intended iSCSI targets. The iSCSI targets must reside on
the same subnet as the initiator.
The iSCSI targets must be configured after the QLogic v3.x-series or
5.x-series driver has been installed and is operating. Additionally, to
establish these settings, the SANsurfer GUI or the SANsurferCLI
must be downloaded and installed on the host.
