To avoid any of the preceding error messages, you must ensure that there is no
USB flash drive attached until the setup asks for the drivers. When you load the
drivers and see your SAN disks, detach or disconnect the USB flash drive
immediately before selecting the disk for further installation.
Configuring FCoE
By default, DCB is enabled on 57712/578xx FCoE-, DCB-compatible C-NICs. The
57712/578xx FCoE requires a DCB-enabled interface. For Windows operating
systems, use one of the following to configure the DCB parameters:
QCC GUI
QCC PowerKit
QLogic Control Suite (QCS) CLI
Server BIOS UEFI HII device configuration page
Marvell Comprehensive Configuration Management (CCM) utility
For more information on QCS CLI, see the User’s Guide, QLogic Control Suite
CLI, part number BC0054511-00, available from Marvell.
For FCoE offload, the 57712/578xx adapters should have FCoE offload and DCB
enabled.
For all OSs, use Marvell’s pre-boot CCM utility or the server's pre-boot BIOS
UEFI HII device configuration page to configure the DCB parameters.
For FCoE on the VMware OS, see the FCoE Support section in the
User’s Guide, Converged Network Adapters and Intelligent Ethernet
Adapters, QLogic FastLinQ 3400 and 8400 Series (part number
83840-546-00). To locate this document, see “Laser Safety
Information” on page xxiii.
For FCoE on the Linux OS, see the Installing Linux Driver Software
section in the User’s Guide, Converged Network Adapters and
Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, QLogic FastLinQ 3400 and 8400 Series.
To locate this document, see “Laser Safety Information” on page xxiii.
For FCoE on the Windows OS, use the QCC GUI, QCS CLI, or QCC
PowerKit to enable or disable the FCoE-offload instance per port on
Windows in single function mode.
To configure iSCSI offload in NPAR mode, use the NPAR configuration
page in any of the following applications:
QCC GUI
QCS CLI
QCC PowerKit
Pre-boot server UEFI HII
Pre-boot CCM
