the I/O operations.

5 Non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is used to store the per-port adapter config-
uration parameters. These parameters are typically loaded at manufacturing and should
not be modified except by those who have an expert level understanding of the functioning
of QLogic FC adapters. During adapter initialization, the parameters are accessed and
used to configure the adapter. Examples of adapter configuration parameters include FC
connection type (topology), FC data rate, FC tape support, and so on.
Description
Software Components
This section describes the following QLogic FC adapter software components:
Boot Code
OS Driver
Firmware
Management Tools and Utilities
Boot Code
Boot code resides on the Flash memory on the adapter. The primary function of
the boot code is to communicate with an external boot device before the operating
system takes the control over when booting from a storage device attached to the
QLogic adapter. This type of configuration is referred to as boot from SAN.
OS Driver
For all QLogic FC adapters currently supported on VMware ESX/ESXi, the driver
is supported natively with ESX; that is, no separate driver installation is required
for VMware ESX/ESXi to recognize the QLogic FC adapters. QLogic FC adapters
on VMware ESX/ESXi require no additional driver installation steps to run the
QLogic FC adapter.
Firmware
The firmware module performs most of the FC protocol-related functions, thus
freeing the system CPU and memory resources from protocol processing. This
efficiency keeps the QLogic FC driver thin, which saves runtime system resources
such as CPU and memory.
The QLogic FC adapter firmware is bundled with the driver. This unified approach
ensures that the driver and firmware are always in sync on a customer system
and simplifies the manageability of QLogic FC drivers.

Installing the Driver
The QLogic FC driver ships “inbox” with VMware ESX/ESXi. VMware’s patch
process issues all driver updates. For details, refer to the VMware support Web
site.
Installing SANsurfer Management Tools
The QLogic FC management tools include the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager (GUI)
and the SANsurfer FC HBA CLI (command line interface).
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager provides:
A graphical user interface to easily install, configure, and deploy
QLogic FC adapters.
Diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities.
Statistical information required to optimize SAN performance.
Remote management capabilities.
Installation
Installing the Driver
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI provides:
Management of QLogic FC adapters only on the local machine on
which the tool is installed.
A non-interactive mode that can be used for scripting common and
frequent operations.
Menu-driven mode for ease of use.
Installing SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
To run SANsurfer FC HBA Manager on a VMware ESX server requires a two-step
installation process, whereby:
1. You must install the SANsurfer back end, commonly called the qlremote
agent, on the ESX server.
2. You must download the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI from the QLogic
Web site or CD-ROM and install it on a Windows
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager allows you to remotely manage QLogic
adapters.
After SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is installed, you must connect it to the qlremote
agent using the IP address or host name of the ESX host on which the qlremote
agent is installed. When SANsurfer FC HBA Manager is connected to the
qlremote agent, you can use it to view and manage the QLogic adapters.

NOTE:
The qlremote agent requires a service called portmap running on the ESX
host. To turn on the portmap service, execute the following commands on
the ESX Server Console:
# chkconfig firewall off
# chkconfig iptables off
# chkconfig -level 3 portmap on
# service firewall restart
# service iptables restart
# service portmap restart
SANsurfer FC HBA Manager requires that you select the download link to the
package for your operating system, either from an installation CD or the QLogic
