How to Use this Guide

The SANblade QLogic host bus adapters (HBAs) supported in this document are described in the following paragraphs; they are collectively referred to as the QLA40xx HBA unless otherwise noted.
■ QLA4000 (single channel, full-height bracket, optical media)
■ QLA4000C (single channel, full-height bracket, copper media)
The QLA4000 HBA is 32/64-bit, 33/66-MHz iSCSI to Fibre Channel to optical media. The QLA4000C HBA is 32/64-bit, 33/66-MHz iSCSI to Fibre Channel to copper media.
This guide contains installation instructions for the hardware (QLA40xx HBA), supported software drivers, and the SANblade Control iX GUI. Install these components in the following order:
1. Install the QLA40xx HBA in your PC.
Section 1
Introduction
2. Install the software driver according to the directions in the appropriate section.
3. Install the SANblade Control iX GUI.
NOTE: If you are installing the QLA40xx HBA in Solaris SPARC system, install
the Solaris driver before installing the QLA40xx HBA.
1.2

General Description

The QLA40xx is an iSCSI HBA that provides PCI connectivity to SCSI using iSCSI protocol. This release of the QLA40xx HBA implements draft 0.20 of the IETF iSCSI standard, which creates a new industry standard SAN technology based on internet protocols: TCP/IP. Updates to later iSCSI drafts will be available for downloads to the HBA. iSCSI enables new IP-based SANs, which are similar to Fibre Channel SANs, as well as a new set of storage applications, for example, remote storage.
The QLA40xx HBA implements the complete protocol stack, including TCP/IP, on the HBA and off-loads the host of any I/O protocol processing. Off-loading the host frees the system to perform other tasks and deliver optimum total system performance. The QLA40xx HBA handles complete SCSI transactions, iSCSI, TCP/IP, and Ethernet.

Installation in the Computer

Before you install the QLA40xx HBA in your computer, you need the following:
■ A screwdriver (usually a Phillips #1)
■ An optical mutimode cable with an LC-style duplex connector for the QLA4000
HBA.
■ A Cat5e or Cat6 straight-through cable (not cross-over cable) with an RJ45
connector for the QLA4000C HBA.
NOTE: If you are installing the QLA40xx HBA in Solaris SPARC system, install
the Solaris driver before installing the QLA40xx HBA (see section 6).

Installation in the Computer
CAUTION!
Perform the following steps to install the QLA40xx HBA in your PC:
1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to accommodate the QLA40xx HBA.
The QLA40xx HBA is self-configuring; however, some motherboards require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels. If the motherboard supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA40xx HBA. See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.
2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.
3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.
4. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports bus mastering. Most motherboards automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line; if your motherboard does not, you must assign the IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this slot.
The QLA40xx HBA contains parts that can be damaged by ESD. Before handling the QLA40xx HBA, use standard methods to discharge static electricity. Keep the QLA40xx HBA in the antistatic bag until you are ready to install it. Place the HBA on the bag when you examine or configure it. Retain the bag for future use.
NOTE:
■ Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and
slave. The QLA40xx HBA must be in a PCI bus master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots that are shared with onboard devices. QLA40xx HBAs do not work in shared slots.)

5. Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the QLA40xx HBA.
6. Place the QLA40xx HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into the slot until
7. Secure the QLA40xx HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC manufacturer’s
Q
■ PCI connectors vary among system HBA manufacturers. The
QLA40xx HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification (the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the QLA40xx HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA40xx HBA.
■ PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI and
PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to determine the slot type.
■ The QLA40xx HBAs are designed and tested to operate at PCI bus
speeds of up to 66 MHz.

Installing the Driver

This section is divided into the following three sections:
■ Initial OS Installation with the QLA40xx HBA as an Add-on Device
■ Adding the QLA40xx HBA to the Existing OS
■ Updating the Existing Driver
NOTE: The system cannot boot from the device attached to the QLA40xx HBA.
3.4.1
Initial OS Installation with the QLA40xx HBA as an Add-On Device
NOTE:
■ The system cannot boot from a device attached to the QLA40xx HBA;
consequently, the operating system (OS) cannot be installed on the device attached to the QLA40xx HBA.
■ You must create a driver disk (see section 3.3) when installing the OS and
the QL4000.SYS driver. You cannot install the QL4000.SYS driver directly.
Perform the following steps to install Windows 2000 and the QL4000.SYS driver when the QLA40xx HBA is attached to a nonbootable device:
1. Start the Windows 2000 installation procedure using the Setup disks or CD.
2. If you are booting from the CD and the following message displays, press F6:
Press F6 if you want to install a third party SCSI or RAID Driver...
After all the standard devices have been loaded, press S to Specify Additional Device. Go to step 5.
3. If you are booting from the floppy disk, after the standard devices have been detected and configured, press S to Specify Additional Device.
4. Select Other and press ENTER.
5. Insert the QLogic driver disk created in section 3.3 and press ENTER.
6. Select the QLogic QLA4000 PCI iSCSI Adapter, then press ENTER.
7. Continue with standard installation procedure.

System Registry Parameters

The following system registry parameters are available with the QLA40xx HBA:
■ MaximumSGList
■ NumberofRequests
3.6.1
MaximumSGList
Windows 2000 includes enhanced scatter/gather list support for doing large SCSI I/O transfers. Windows 2000 supports up to 256 scatter/gather segments of 4096 bytes each, allowing transfers up to 1,048,576 bytes.
3 – Windows 2000 Driver Installation
System Registry Parameters
NOTE: The OEMSETUP.INF file automatically updates the registry to support
33 scatter/gather segments. This setting provides the best overall performance.
To change this value, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Run, and open the REGEDT32 program.
2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure to the QLogic driver:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Services Ql4000 Parameters Device
3. Double-click MaximumSGList:REG_DWORD:0x41.
4. Enter a value from 16 to 255 (10h to FFh). A value of 255 (FFh) enables the maximum 1-MB transfer size. Any value above 255 enables 64K transfers. The default value is 33 (21h).
5. Click OK.
6. Exit the REGEDT32 program, then restart the system.
