EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
Introduction
The procedure described here was written specifically for the
QLA22xx and QLA23xx families of Fibre Channel HBAs; however,
the procedures for installing the adapter BIOS and Windows drivers
are identical for QLA21xx, QLA22xx, and QLA23xx.
When installing or upgrading the BIOS and drivers, be sure to use the
latest versions supported by EMC. Review the
EMC Support Matrix
