If later you wish to return the jumper(s) to the default factory position, repeat step 2, returning the jumper to pins 2–3.

Set the HBA FC-AL Loop ID

While configuring a QLA234x HBA for Windows NT or Windows 2000 and connection to EMC CLARiiON CX200-Series for direct-connect cluster configurations, you must manually set the HBA FC-AL Loop ID. Follow these steps to enable loop hard addressing and set the loop ID on each HBA:

Perform this procedure on all nodes in the cluster connected to the CX200-Series array.

1.Boot the Windows host; press CTRL-Qwhen prompted to Press <CTRL-Q> for Fast!UTIL. (This prompt appears with the QLogic startup banner.)

2.After the Fast!UTIL program loads, the initial display depends on whether there are multiple QLogic HBAs installed in the server:

•If there is only one QLogic HBA, the Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.

•If there are multiple QLogic HBAs, a list of memory addresses occupied by those HBAs appears.

Using the arrow keys, select the desired HBA and press ENTER. The Fast!UTIL Options menu appears.

3.Select Configuration Settings from the Fast!UTIL Options menu, and press ENTER.

4.Select Host Adapter Settings from the Configuration Settings menu.

5.Select Adapter Hard Loop ID from the Host Adapter Settings menu and press ENTER until the value is Enabled.

6.Select Hard Loop ID and press ENTER.

The loop ID value entered here is the decimal representation of the FC-AL loop ID. You do not need to perform any FC-AL AL_PA hexadecimal translation.

HBAs connected to the same SP should all have unique hard loop IDs. Select 0 for all HBAs on one node, select 1 for all HBAs on the next node, and so on.
