Step 4: Install and Run the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager

SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a management utility to view, manage, and diagnose
QLogic HBAs. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager also configures HBAs, target devices
on HBAs, and LUNs on target devices. To use the target masking and LUN masking
features of SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, you must install SANsurfer FC HBA
Manager.
If you do not use any of these features, you can use the miniport driver without
configuring it with SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. In this case, skip to
If you are installing SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on a NetWare 6.x operating system,
you must also install IPX/SPX on the server.
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager runs as a client/server application, with the client
application 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 where HBAs are installed, install the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
(GUI) on the local host. If you are installing on a Solaris SPARC system, also install
the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager agent on the local host.
