Installing additional Fibre Channel host bus adapters
If the HBA device driver has already been installed once, and you are adding an
additional HBA onto the system, when the system starts, it will detect the device
and display the
Found New Hardware with QLogic QLA2200 PCI Fibre Channel
Adapter
message. Use the following procedures to complete the driver installation:
1. When the Digital Signature Not Found screen is displayed, select
Yes
.
2. When the Insert Disk message appears, browse to your downloaded QLogic
driver file and click
OK
.
3. Click
Finish
on the Found New Hardware Wizard/Completing the Found New
Hardware Wizard screen. You will be prompted by the message:

Installing additional drive enclosures
Additional drive enclosures can be added to a configuration using the following
procedure:
1. Install the drive enclosures in a rack cabinet.
2. If there is more than one enclosure, use cable redundancy in the drive
configuration.
3. Add additional drive enclosures.
Do not
power them up.
Do not
add drives at
this time.
4. Make sure Tray IDs are unique for each drive enclosure.
5. Power on the drive enclosures with
no
drives installed.
6. Run the DisableDriveMigration.scr script under SM7. (If you run scripts, you
must
reset the controllers. See step 7.)
7. Reset each controller by pressing the white button next to the LEDs on the front
panel of the RAID controllers or follow the Fibre Channel solution shutdown and
startup procedures on page 23.
Note:
Resetting the controllers does
not
reset the configuration. If you reset the
configuration, all data will be lost. Resetting the controllers means that
you are restarting the controllers for the scripts to take effect.
8. Open the SM7 console to see the additional enclosures and to monitor drive
additions.
9. Add drives two at a time. Make sure they are seen in the SM7 console. They
should be listed as unconfigured capacity.
10. Continue to add drives two at a time until all drives are inserted and verified.
11. Run the EnableDriveMigration.scr script.
12. Reset each controller again by pressing the white button next to the LEDs on
the front panel of the RAID controllers.
13. Use the SM7 configuration console to create additional arrays and to configure
any additional storage partitioning.
