Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
Installing the HBA Driver
To use EMC storage array disks with a Windows host, you need an
EMC-qualified Fibre Channel HBA driver. The HBA kit includes an
EMC-approved driver, which must be installed and configured prior
to partitioning the storage array disks. You should also check the
QLogic website for the latest EMC-approved version. (Refer to
Downloading QLogic Drivers and Firmware on page 2-2.)
