About this guide
1 HBA features This chapter describes the features of the FC1143 single-port HBA (product number AB429A) and FC1243 dual-port HBA (product number AE369A). • Performance specifications, page 11 • Environmental specifications, page 12 • Physical specifications, page 12 Performance specifications The FC1143 and FC1243 HBAs are 4Gb PCI-X 2.0 high-performance direct memory access (DMA) bus master HBAs designed for high-end systems.
Environmental specifications Table 2 lists the HBA environmental specifications. Table 2 HBA environmental specifications Environment Minimum Maximum Operating temperature 0 °C/32 °F 55 °C/131 °F Storage temperature -20 °C/-4 °F 70 °C/158 °F Relative humidity (noncondensing) 10% 90% Storage humidity (noncondensing) 5% 95% Physical specifications Table 3 lists the HBA specifications. Table 3 HBA specifications Type Specification Bus interface 64-bit, PCI-X 2.
2 Installing the HBAs This chapter describes the procedure for installing the FC1143 and FC1243 HBAs, including: • Installation prerequisites, page 13 • Installation procedure, page 14 Refer to your host documentation for installing the HBAs. WARNING! Disconnect the host from the power source before installing the HBAs. To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal server or workstation components to cool before touching.
Installation procedure To install the HBA: 1. Check the motherboard and make any necessary configuration changes to accommodate the HBA. 2. Power down the peripherals, and then turn off the computer. 3. Disconnect the power cable. 4. Remove the computer cover and save the screws. 5. Locate the appropriate bus slot. The connector for the slot looks like the connector in Figure 1. Figure 1 PCI-X 2.0 connector 6. Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the HBA. 7.

3 Installing and configuring the Linux driver This chapter provides instructions for installing the Linux qla2xxx (The xxxis the kit date string) driver for an FC1143 or FC1243 HBA on an already installed Red Hat™Enterprise Linux (Red Hat EL) or SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server (SUSE SLES) system. You can obtain the software kit for the driver from the following HP web site: http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure.html.
Using the RPM The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a package management system that lets you easily install Linux software. Using RPM, you can install software in prebuilt bundles called RPM packages. This section is included for reference only. See this section for future separate RPM installations you may need. For example: • To install the RPM, copy the RPM package file to your system and enter the following command: # rpm -ivh package_name.
Using fibreutils This section describes how to install and use fibreutils. Use this utility to manage Fibre-attached storage. The fibreutils utility performs the following: • • • • • Gathers system information Lists information about HBAs in the target server Lists sd and sg device information Loads the latest EFI drivers Rescans for new devices Installing the fibreutils RPM HP recommends installing the fibreutils RPM found in the driver kit. It contains utilities for managing Fibre-attached storage.
Table 5 describes the fibreutils commands. Table 5 fibreutils commands Command Description adapter_info Lists useful information about HBAs in the system. Use the -h option to list other switches. hp_rescan Forces the QLA HBAs and the SCSI midlayer (scsi_mod.o) to rescan for LUNs on all adapters or a particular adapter instance. Use the -h option to list other switches. hp_system_info Gathers information on the current system and packages it into a compressed tar file.
Table 6 FLASUTIL commands Component Option Description Boot Code image /F xxxx Writes BIOS Flash. If the flash contains a valid BIOS, the existing NVRAM defaults do not change. /C xxxx Verifies the BIOS Flash of the specified HBA. /Wxxxx Copies the BIOS Flash to the QL1xROM.SAV file. /FFxxxx Writes FCode flash for the specified HBA address. /CFxxxx Verifies Fcode of the specified HBA. /FRxxxx Writes RISC code to Flash at the specified HBA address. /CRxxxx Verifies the RISC code of the specified HBA.
Table 7 shows FLASUTIL command examples. Table 7 FLASUTIL command examples Purpose Command Description Write flash in all QLogic HBAs in a system without being prompted for I/O address flasutil /f Updates the BIOS while preserving previous NVRAM defaults.
Table 8 Adapter Settings Setting Options Default Host Adapter BIOS Enabled, Disabled Disabled Frame Size 512, 1024, 2048 2048 Loop Reset Delay 0–60 seconds 5 Adapter Hard Loop ID Enabled, Disabled Disabled Hard Loop ID 0–125 0 Spin Up Delay Enabled, Disabled Disabled Connection Options 0, 1, 2 2 Fibre Channel Tape Support Enabled, Disabled Enabled Data Rate 0, 1, 2, 3 2 The following section describes the settings: • Adapter BIOS—When this setting is Disabled, the ROM BIOS on
NOTE: This option applies only to hard disks; it does not apply to tape drives and other nondisk devices. Restore Default Settings This option restores the HBA default settings. Raw NVRAM Data This option displays the HBA’s NVRAM contents in hexadecimal format. This is a troubleshooting tool; you cannot modify the data. Advanced Adapter Settings From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Advanced Adapter Settings.
• Link Down Timeout—Specifies the number of seconds the software waits for a link down to come up. The default is 30. • Operational Mode—Specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO) modes, if supported by the software driver. The RIO modes allow posting multiple command completions in a single interrupt. The default is 0.

4 Installing the Windows drivers This chapter describes how to install the Windows Storport miniport driver, including the following topics: • Prerequisites, page 27 • Installing drivers using the Smart Component, page 27 • Troubleshooting Windows, page 28 Prerequisites Perform the following tasks before you install the drivers: • Prior to installing or updating drivers, obtain the QLogic host bus adapters for x86 and x64 Linux and Windows, and x86 NetWare release notes, which are available from the H
Troubleshooting Windows This section describes how to use the Windows Event Viewer to troubleshoot Windows drivers. Using the Event Viewer The miniport drivers verify the condition of the HBA’s POST LED states. If there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry appears in the Windows Event Log. Use the Event viewer to access the Event log To open the Event Viewer: 1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >Event Viewer, or right-click My Computer and select Manage. 2.
