5.2.2.1 Install VMFC2X00 module
Install the VMFC2X00(P) module on your Windows NT/2000 computer or SBC.
Connect the FC cable between the VMFC board and your disk unit.
5.2.2.2 Remove previously installed Fibre Channel driver
Before installing the new QLogic driver, it is essential to remove any installed FC driver
(Fibre Gear driver from Delphi or older version of the QLogic driver).
5.2.2.3 Install the QLogic driver
If the MDR project is not already installed, follow the instructions in
section 4.2:
MDR
Shell and API Installation
to do so.
Go to the directory called
<path>/mdr-host-sw/fibre-channel-drivers/x86-win32
First, uncompress the file
qla2100_<OS>_<VersionNumber>.zip
(if you have a
VMFC2100 board) or the file
qla2200_<OS>_<VersionNumber>.zip
(if you have a
VMFC2200 board) on your Windows NT/2000 workstation.
Then follow the installation instructions provided by the
readme.pdf
file.
When the system comes back, make sure that the driver is running. To verify it, perform
the following actions:
•
Windows NT: go to the Control Panel, SCSI Adapters, Drivers tab. Check that the
driver corresponding to your board (
QLogic QLA2000/2100 PCI Fibre Channel
or
QLogic QLA2200 PCI Fibre Channel
) is marked as
started
.
•
Windows 2000: go to the Control Panel, System, Hardware tab, Device Manager,
SCSI & RAID controllers. Check that the driver corresponding to your board
(
QLogic 2100 PCI Fibre Channel
or
QLogic QLA2200 PCI Fibre Channel
) is indi-
cated as
working properly
.
It is also recommended to check that Windows can locate the FC disks installed on your
system. To verify it, perform the following actions:
•
Windows NT: go to the Control Panel, SCSI Adapters, Devices tab. Check that
the FC disks are present under the adapter.
•
Windows 2000: go to the Control Panel, System, Hardware tab, Device Manager,
Disk drives. Check that the FC disks are present. If the disks are not present then
try the command
Scan for hardware changes
to update the list of disks.
