Q
SANsurfer FC HBA 
Manager GUI crashes
Cause: SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI lost communication 
with the qlremote agent, another application caused a conflict 
with SANsurfer FC HBA Manager, or an operating system driver 
lost communication with the HBA or device.
Solution: 
■ Verify that the qlremote agent is installed and running: 
■ For Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003, open the 
Services window and verify that the QLogic Management 
Suite Java agent service is running. 
■ For NetWare, at the server command prompt type the 
following and then press ENTER. Verify that qlremote.nlm 
is loaded. 
modules q*
■ For Red Hat/SuSE Linux and Solaris SPARC, change to 
the following directory:
cd/ usr/local/bin
Type the following command and then press ENTER. 
Verify that the appropriate network protocol is running.
./qlremote -v
■ Verify that no other application is causing SANsurfer FC HBA 
Manager to crash. 
■ Verify that the operating system driver detects the HBA or 
device. 
Host keeps 
disconnecting from and 
connecting to the HBA 
tree
Cause: Fibre Channel protocol activity caused the qlremote 
agent to rescan the configuration.
Solution: If SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is managing several 
hosts and a remote host reboots or there is activity in the SAN, 
the qlremote agent and SANsurfer FC HBA Manager refresh the 
configuration to make certain that no HBA or device was 
disconnected.
Functional
Unable to mask LUNs Cause: The LUN path is unconfigured.
Solution: In the Fibre Channel Port Configuration dialog box, 
set the device path to visible.
Unable to set device 
path as visible, hidden, 
or unconfigured
Cause: The SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI or qlremote agent 
did not detect any devices.
Solution: Verify that the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI 
displays the devices under their HBAs in the HBA tree. Each 
device should display its device port name and its connected 
LUNs.
