Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
4.Label each cable to identify the HBA and the storage/switch/hub port to which it connects.
5.After connecting all HBAs in the server, power up the server.
Special Installation Sequence for Stratus ftServers and EMC CLARiiON Arrays
A specific installation sequence is required when installing QLogic HBAs with the Stratus ftServers and EMC CLARiiON® storage. Failure to follow this sequence may result in a STOP: 0X0000007B bugcheck error when booting the Stratus server for the first time when connected to EMC CLARiiON storage.
With the Stratus ftServer, if the HBA detects EMC CLARiiON array targets but no accessible LUNS, it prevents the Stratus server from booting. In this configuration, the Stratus ftServer attempts to boot from the array, instead of booting from the internal boot drive.
To avoid this issue before storage is correctly assigned, either boot the Stratus ftServer before connecting the fibre cables to the HBAs or, if connected to a fabric, disable the HBA ports on the switch before booting the ftServer.
After the system has booted, connect the cables or reenable the switch ports. Verify that the HBAs are logged in to the EMC CLARiiON array; then stop and restart the Navisphere agent on the ftServer host. This will register the HBAs with the CLARiiON array and allow the HBA to properly detect the available LUNS.
