2 Install Drivers Before installing your Celerity adapter, you must configure your system to recognize and use it by installing drivers for your operating system. Configure your system to recognize and use your Celerity adapter by installing drivers for your operating system. Note If you already have one or more Celerity adapters installed and you are installing additional adapter(s), you do not need to perform any of these procedures unless you are updating a previously installed driver.
Creating Windows installation media Note Installation media is required when performing an installation of Windows to a hard drive that is controlled by a Celerity FC host adapter. A floppy is required for Windows 2000, XP or 2003. Windows 7, Vista and 2008 can utilize other media such as removable USB stick. This procedure does not apply to Itanium systems as the Celerity FC driver does not support boot functionality on these systems.
a. Note An EFI shell is not included with Intel Macs. ATTO recommends rEFIt, which is available for free from http://refit.sourceforge.net. Once you have downloaded the DMG or rEFIt, follow these steps to open the EFI Configuration Utility. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Burn the rEFIt DMG file to a CD. Do not remove the CD. Shut down the system and install the Celerity adapter With the rEFIt CD inserted, boot the system while pressing and holding ‘C’ key. This will boot the rEFIt CD.
3 4 5 6 Power on the target system while pressing and holding ‘T’, this will boot the target system in target disk mode. You may release the key when the FireWire symbol appears. On the host system, insert the OS X installation disc and begin installation. Proceed through the installation wizard until you reach the destination volume selection window. Select a volume on the storage attached to the Celerity adapter.
2 3 Extract the offline_bundle.zip from the ISO image. Use the Data Browser in the vSphere Client to upload the ZIP file that was extracted from the ISO to your ESX host. Note Alternatively, you can use a program like WinSCP to upload the file directly to your ESX host. However, it requires root privileges to the host to perform the upload. 4 5 Place the ESX host in Maintenance Mode from the vSphere Client.
5 Run the esxupdate update command. Note If the hardware is not already installed on the system, run the esxupdate command with the --noreboot option, shut down the host machine manually, install the hardware, and then boot the host machine. This allows you to install in a single boot. The server reboots after the driver update. 6 7 Remove the driver CD from the CD-ROM drive before the system reboots. After the system reboots, log in to ESX Server. 8 Verify that the driver is installed successfully: a.
3 Hardware Installation You need a basic understanding of Fibre Channel before installing the Celerity FC host adapter. Please refer to Appendix A for a list of related websites. WWN 4: 44ES, 84EN CAUTION Back up your system data before changing or installing any hardware. Installation CAUTION System requirements The Celerity FC host adapter package contains the host adapter, the ATTO Utilities CD and a warranty and registration card.
