Finish the operating system installation of the IBM Blade Server. Shutdown the
the blade and install the QLogic iSCSI Expansion Card for IBM ^
BladeCenter adapter in the blade.
After finishing the hardware installation of the iSCSI adapter, power on the blade
and start the operating system. After logon you will be presented with a few
Found New Hardware wizards. Before you start with updating the drivers for the
iSCSI adapter, have a look at the Device Manager. In the Device Manager, four
devices are listed in the Other devices section. These four devices are the iSCSI
adapters.
In the Device Manager under Unknown Devices are listed two ethernet
controllers and two network controllers. The four devices are 4 functions of the
same PCI device. First ethernet controller is function 0 and second ethernet
controller is function 2. Network controllers have the function 1 and 3 assigned.
To use the iSCSI adapter like a regular network adapter this device can be used
to access the iSCSI adapter from the operating system as a NIC. The network
controller are used as SCSI devices and used for the iSCSI traffic.
There are different drivers available for this adapter:
SCSI Miniport driver for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
SCSI Storport driver for Windows Server 2003
An NDIS driver for Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003
You should use the storport driver for Windows Server 2003 and the miniport
driver for Windows 2000.
An infrastructure service host is used to provide the iSCSI simple naming
services. This host is a multihomed host, connected to the iSCSI networks and to
