Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards

This section describes how to set up the server with the QLogic Converged Network Adapter cards described

er card information may differ from that in the screenshots shown in this manual.

2.2.1

Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards

Install the Converged Network Adapter card to the server, and acquire the physical address and World Wide

Name (WWN) for the Converged Network Adapter card.

The physical address and WWN of a Converged Network Adapter card are required information in the fol-

•

lowing cases: when an error has occurred in the system, when using the ETERNUS DX storage systems (se-

curity function, host affinity function, etc.) to restrict server access, or when connecting the ETERNUS DX

storage systems and the server using a Fibre Channel switch and a CEE/FCoE switch.

Acquire the physical address and WWN when installing the Converged Network Adapter card, because they

•

cannot be determined from BIOS and OS. Physical address and WWN must be assigned to "WWN instance

management table for the server".

The workflow is shown below.

(1) Install the Converged Network Adapter card

(2) Turn on the server

(3) Acquire the physical address and WWN for the Converged Network Adapter card

(4) Add a record for the server in the WWN instance management table for the server

(5) Set the Converged Network Adapter card BIOS

When installing two or more Converged Network Adapter cards in the server, first turn off the server, then

repeat Steps (1) through (5) above for each Converged Network Adapter card to be installed.
