target devices on the HBAs, and LUNs on target devices. To use target masking,
LUN masking, or device hot replacement features of SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager, you must install SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. See

system, you must also install IPX/SPX on the server.
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager runs as a client/server tool, with the client running on
a hardware platform that supports Java and agents running on each system that
has QLogic HBAs. If you are using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on a host system
