EMC P/N 300-002-803 manual Fibre Channel over Ethernet FCoE CNAs, ISCSI HBAs

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.
