EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic HBAs in the Windows Environment
Installing and Configuring the HBA Driver
10. Execute the following commands from a command window:
powermt restore
powermt display
At this point, two HBA’s should be present in the display and the
FC HBA’s should be duplexed in the ftSMC. It may be necessary
to repeat steps 9 and 10.

Use of this procedure requires SYMCLI installed on the host system.
Alternatively, EMC ControlCenter can be used to perform the HBA
replacement.
1. Using SYMCLI, run symmask list logins to view the old
WWN/iSCSI HBAs.
2. Remove all cables to the IO slice with the defective HBA, and
remove the IO slice.
3. Replace the defective QLogic HBA with the new HBA of same
Stratus part number (that is, U525 or U526). The HBA should be
inserted into same PCI slot from which the defective HBA was
removed. (Inserting the replacement HBA into another PCI slot
requires a driver to be loaded for the HBA)
4. Re-insert the IO slice with the new HBA, and re-connect all
cables.
5. Let the IO Slice come on-line and duplex, as shown in the Stratus
ftServer Management tool.
6. Change the FC switch zoning to add the WWN of the replaced
HBA to the appropriate zones.
7. Run
symmask list hba or discover to view the new initiator
(for example, WWN).
8. Run
symmask replace to substitute a new WWN for all
occurrences in the database of the old WWN.
9. Run
symmask discover to establish the new names in the history
table, or run
symmask rename to assign a WWN to the new HBA
in both the database and the history table.
1. Symmetrix Arrays without device masking enabled do not require this procedure; Symmetrix Arrays
with device masking enabled only require replacing the HBA WWN used in switch zoning.
