Installing and Configuring the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI HBA (TOE)

Installing and Configuring the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA to boot from an EMC Storage Array

The procedure below describes how to install and configure the boot

BIOS.

By default, the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA does not ship with Boot BIOS

installed. Without Boot BIOS, the HBA cannot be configured to boot

from an external storage array. Follow these steps to install Boot

BIOS from DOS.

Note: Boot BIOS also can be installed using the SANSurfer utility.

1. Create a DOS-bootable floppy disk.

2. Copy the Boot BIOS .BIN file and QLogic flash utility onto the

floppy. For the latest version of Boot BIOS refer to the EMC

support matrix. The necessary files are: ql4010rm.bin,

iFLASH.exe, and dos4gw.exe.

3. Boot the server with the floppy.

4. At the DOS prompt, type iFLASH /fb (this will program BIOS to

all detected HBAs in the server.)

5. The iFLASH utility will display a message if the update was

successful.

After the HBA is installed in the host and the EMC array is connected

to iSCSI network, you can configure an EMC-qualified QLogic iSCSI

HBA for boot support using Fast!UTIL, as described below:

1. Boot the server, and press CTRL-Q when you see the QLogic

banner.

Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to

select CTRL-Q for the HBA you wish to configure.
