2–Configuring NIC
NIC Partitioning (NPAR)
SN0054671-00 B 2-45
Before configuring NPAR, do the following:
Use the QLogic SuperInstaller for your host server’s operating system
(Windows or Linux) to install the Fibre Channel/FCoE, NIC, and iSCSI
drivers on the server where the adapters reside. To download the installers
and drivers, go to http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
.
Make sure the remote agents are running on the Tomcat Server where the
QCC GUI application resides:
Fibre Channel/FCoE (
qlremote)
NIC (
netqlremote)
iSCSI (
iqlremote)
For help using the QCC GUI, use the help system, available through the QCC GUI
browser-based menu option Help > Browse Contents.
For procedures on setting up NPAR and eSwitch parameters using the QCC GUI,
see “QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI” on page 3-21.
QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI
QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI is a management utility that centralizes
management and configuration of QLogic adapters within the entire network (LAN
and SAN).
QCC manages iSCSI, Ethernet, and FCoE functions on 8200 and 3200 Series
Adapters installed in a Linux or Windows environment.
In addition to the configuration and management capabilities available through the
QConvergeConsole CLI, the QCC CLI enables you to partition and configure NIC
ports and eSwitch parameters on 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters.
Follow the procedures for your operating system in the QConvergeConsole CLI
User’s Guide to install the application on the host server.
For command references needed while using QCC CLI, refer to the
QConvergeConsole CLI User’s Guide.
Before using QCC CLI to configure NPAR on your 8200 and 3200 Series
Adapters, you must install the OS-specific drivers on the server where the 8200
and 3200 Series Adapters reside. You can use the QLogic SuperInstaller for your
host server’s operating system (Windows or Linux) to install the Fibre
Channel/FCoE, NIC, and iSCSI drivers. To download the drivers, go to
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
.
