3.1.6 Setup “Fibre Channel” Menu Functions
When a Fibre channel HBA / controller is detected you will find utilities and options to manage that
specific hardware .
Function: QLOGIC administration fig 3.1.6a
If you have a QLA23xx or QLA24xx series controller installed, you can use the command line tool in the
console tools (press F1 in the console to list keyboard shortcuts).
QLA23xx controller enables remote administration. To access the configuration daemon download the
client application SANsurfer from the QLOGIC homepage. Install it on your system and configure it to
access the server. Follow the online instructions to configure correctly. If in doubt consult the
documentation manual. Make sure you have the essential information handy (IP address of your server,
username and password).
Note: Using controllers from two different families (2Gb and 4Gb family) at the same time is not
permitted.
Function: QLOGIC Target/Initiator fig 3.1.6a

Note: If your QLOGIC HBA does not belong to the QLA22XX or QLA23XX product family then
the target option (I/T) will be unavailable.
