Overview
The QLogic Control Suite (QCS) is a management application for configuring the
8400/3400 Series of converged network adapters and intelligent Ethernet
adapters. QCS software operates on Windows and Linux server and client
operating systems. This chapter describes how to install the QCS management
application. For information about QCS, see the
QLogic Control Suite GUI

and the

.
QCS Components
There are two main components of the QCS application: the provider component
and the client software. A provider is installed on a server, or “managed host”, that
contains one or more converged network adapters. The provider collects
information on the CNAs and makes it available for retrieval from a management
PC on which the client software is installed. The client software enables viewing
information from the providers and configuring the converged network
adapters.The QCS client software includes a graphical user interface (GUI) and a
command line interface (CLI).
