 Configuration management – QConvergeConsole allows you to configure
local and remote systems. With QConvergeConsole you can configure
QLogic adapters and connected devices. It also lets you update adapter
parameters, firmware, boot code, and drivers.
 Statistics – QConvergeConsole provides statistics for each host and adapter
port. These statistics can be collected automatically or on request. They can
be reset at any time. In addition, you can export the statistics to a comma
separated values (CSV) file that can be imported into other applications, for
example, Microsoft
®
Excel.
 Reports – QConvergeConsole provides a report facility that lets you
generate reports, which you can use to view lists of all SAN assets:
adapters, devices, and LUNs. After generating reports, you can view them
and save them to a variety of file formats.
 E-mail notifications – QConvergeConsole can automatically send
notifications with a copy of the current host configuration to an e-mail
distribution list, thus enabling the information to be opened and analyzed
from other locations.
 Wizards – QConvergeConsole provides some easy-to-use wizards that walk
you through Flash and driver parameter file updates on Fibre Channel and
Converged Network Adapters.
For information about obtaining, installing, configuring, and using the
QConvergeConsole, refer to

QConvergeConsole Management Agents
(qlremote/netqlremote)
The QConvergeConsole agents provide remote management for QLogic adapters
through the QConvergeConsole web management interface.
The SuperInstaller utilities install the FC-FCoE management agent (qlremote)
and the Ethernet networking management agent (netqlremote) that enable
you to manage 8100 Series Adapters connected to the QConvergeConsole
server where the agents reside.
NOTE:
You can install the adapter driver before you install the adapter
hardware.
