Configuring iSCSI Boot Settings
Perform the following steps to configure the iSCSI boot settings.
Find the QLogic Adapter iSCSI name and IP address:
1. From the Fast!UTIL Options menu for iSCSI, select Configuration
Settings.
2. Select Host Adapter Settings.
3. Write down the iSCSI name and IP address.
Configure the QLogic Adapter to boot from the SAN:
1. Have the QLogic Adapter directly connected, or through a switch, to the
storage device. Be sure the storage device and the switch (if used) are both
powered up and completely initialized before proceeding. Be sure all
devices are visible to all other devices on the switch. If VLANs are enabled,
the QLogic Adapter and storage device must be on the same VLAN. Refer
to the switch vendor documentation on switch configuration.
2. Ensure that the storage device allows access to the QLogic Adapter. Refer
to the vendor-specific documentation to determine how to enable this
access.
3. If you have not already done so, download and install the BIOS on the
QLogic Adapter.
The latest BIOS is available on the QLogic Web site,
