NOTE:
If you used an FC RAID target in a cluster environment, you should enable the Enable Target Reset = Enabled (Advanced Adapter Settings).
Use the /I option if the update utility, QLflash, does not detect your adapter.
QLogic recommends disabling the internal disk before installing the OS or booting to the FCoE disk.
Adapter Configuration (CNA/IEA Function Configuration
Utility)
NOTE:
The CNA Function Configuration utility does not run on SUN™ SPARC® systems.
This section provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who want to customize the configuration of the 10Gb adapter and the connected devices. You can configure the adapter using the CNA Function Configuration utility.
To access the CNA Function Configuration utility, press ALT+ Q during the adapter initialization (it may take a few seconds for the menu to appear). If you have more than one adapter, the utility will ask you to select the adapter you want to configure. After changing the settings, the utility reboots your system to load the new parameters.
CAUTION!
If the configuration settings are incorrect, your adapter may not function properly.
Upon entering the CNA Function Configuration utility, the following selections are available from the Setup Menu/Function Configuration menu:
