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.
See section 5
for complete installation instructions.
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
section 2.2.5
.
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.
NOTE:
In SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, remote procedure calls (RPCs) are used.
In Windows, the RPC service (ONC/RPC Portmapper) required by
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is installed automatically. In Linux, the
appropriate RPC libraries must be installed by the Linux distribution. See
the Linux distribution documentation for information about installing RPC
services before installing SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. In NetWare,
tirpc.nlm and associated files must be loaded for RPC support. These
files are added to the autoexec.ncf file automatically by SANsurfer FC
HBA Manager installation.

Step 5: Configure the Disks in the Operating System
When all hardware and configuration is complete for Fibre Channel subsystems,
use the appropriate operating system utilities to enable devices, assign drive letters
or logical names, initialize file systems, etc., for each device or LUN on the system.
2.2.6
Step 6: Install the IP Communications Driver
Optionally, install the IP communications driver. To use the NDIS driver to enable
IP traffic over the Fibre Channel, install that device driver and its configuration utility.
