EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment

Installing and Configuring the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI HBA (TOE)

Using the QLogic iSCSI SANSurfer Application to Configure iSCSI 
Devices

QLogic provides a minimal version of their SANSurfer software that 
is used to configure settings for the QLA4010 iSCSI HBA.  For config-
urations not using Microsoft’s iSCSI Initiator, the SANSurfer iSCSI 
HBA Manager should be used to configure your iSCSI HBAs.
Install the SANSurfer iSCSI HBA Manager on your server using the 
self-extracting executable installation package (available in the EMC 
QLA4010 CD-ROM kit or from the qLogic website 

http://www.qlogic.com

.)  During installation, you may choose 

whether to install both the GUI and Agent, or just the GUI.  If you are 
installing on the system that has the QLA4010 HBA(s) installed, 
install both the GUI and Agent.
After SANSurfer is installed, it can be started from the 

Start

 menu, or 

from the desktop icon if you choose to create one.  Start the software, 
and you will reach the connection dialog shown below:

Click 

Connect

 in the upper left corner of the 

SANsurfer iSCSI HBA 

Manager

 window to get the 

Connect to Host

 dialog.  You are asked
