Step 5: Install and Run SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is a management tool used to view, manage, and
diagnose QLogic adapters. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager also configures
adapters, target devices on the adapters, 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 “Installing
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager” on page 4-1 for complete installation instructions.
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 tool, with the client running on
a hardware platform that supports Java and agents running on each system that
has QLogic adapters. When using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on a host system
with installed adapters, install the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (user interface) on
the local host. When installing on a Red Hat/SUSE Linux (IA64) or Solaris
SPARC/x86 system, you must also install the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager agent
on the local host.
Verification: When using SANsurfer FC HBA Manager to configure any alternate
paths to devices, it treats these paths as unconfigured paths until it installs the
Failover driver.
NOTE:
Macintosh systems do not use failover.
NOTE:
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager uses remote procedure calls (RPCs) as
follows:
For Windows, SANsurfer FC HBA Manager automatically installs the
required RPC service (ONC/RPC portmapper).
For Linux, the Linux distribution must install the appropriate RPC
libraries. See the Linux distribution documentation for information about
installing RPC services before installing SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
For NetWare, RPC support requires loading tirpc.nlm and associated
files. The SANsurfer FC HBA Manager installation adds these files
automatically to the autoexec.ncf file.
