Starting QConvergeConsole
Start using QConvergeConsole by opening its main page in your browser window.
You can do this either locally on the server where QConvergeConsole is installed
or remotely from another computer. From the main window, you can connect to
servers that host QLogic adapters and devices you want to manage. The
procedures are the same in Windows and Linux environments.
This section provides information about:
“Opening the QConvergeConsole Main Page” on page 3-1

Opening the QConvergeConsole Main Page
You can open QConvergeConsole locally on the server or from a remote
computer.
NOTE:
Before starting QConvergeConsole, ensure that the management
agents (Ethernet networking [NIC], FCoE, and iSCSI) have been
installed using the Windows or Linux SuperInstallers. QLogic provides
these SuperInstallers on the downloads page for Windows and Linux
operating systems for your specific adapter at
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
. For details, refer to the
SuperInstaller Readme and Release Notes documents on that same
page. The management agents are not included in the
QConvergeConsole package that you obtain from the QLogic
downloads page..
