1.2
For Fujitsu Emulex Fibre Channel Cards

This section describes how to set up the server for use with the Fujitsu Emulex Fibre Channel cards.
When using the Fujitsu QLogic Fibre Channel cards, follow the procedure in "1.3 For Fujitsu QLogic Fibre
Channel Cards" (page 20).
Depending on the Fibre Channel card used, the actual on-screen Fibre Channel card information may differ from that in the screenshots shown in this manual.
1.2.1

Install the Fibre Channel cards in the server, acquire the relevant physical addresses and World Wide Names
(WWNs), and perform Topology and LinkSpeed settings.
The physical address and WWN of a Fibre Channel card are required information in the following cases:
when an error has occurred in the system, when using the ETERNUS DX storage systems (security function,
host affinity function, etc.) to restrict server access, or when connecting the ETERNUS DX storage systems
and the server using a Fibre Channel switch.
The relationship between a physical address and WWN cannot be determined from BIOS and OS. The physical address and WWN must be recorded as a pair when each Fibre Channel card is installed. Physical address and WWN must be assigned to "WWN instance management table for the server".
The workflow is shown below.
(1) Install the Fibre Channel card
(2) Turn on the server
(3) Acquire the physical address and WWN for the Fibre Channel card
(4) Add a record for the server in the WWN instance management table for the server
(5) Set the Topology and LinkSpeed
When installing two or more Fibre Channel cards in the server, first turn off the server, then repeat Steps (1)
through (5) above for each Fibre Channel card to be installed.
The procedure is as follows:
Install the Fibre Channel card in the server.

1.3 For Fujitsu QLogic Fibre Channel Cards
1.2.7
Setting Fixed Target IDs

Each device connected to a Fibre Channel card is allocated a Target ID. By default, these Target IDs are automatically allocated by the driver. Under this default, the device Target IDs may be reallocated as devices are
added and removed, or depending on how the devices are recognized. If the Target IDs have changed when
the server reboots, devices may end up off-line, and unavailable depending on the OS or application being
used. To avoid this, it is recommended that a fixed Target ID be allocated to each device and automatic Target ID allocation be disabled.
Contact your supplier for more details.
1.2.8

Install the driver for ETERNUS DX storage systems as required.
Refer to the "Driver Notes" section in "FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX Configuration Guide -Server Connection(Fibre Channel) for Windows" for notes on each driver in cases such as when connecting the server to the
ETERNUS DX in multipath configuration and using the path redundancy control (path fail-over) function,
and for when single-path connection is used between the ETERNUS DX and server.
For the procedure about how to install (or uninstall), set up, and use the drivers for ETERNUS DX storage
systems, refer to the software manuals.
1.3

The following procedures describe the steps when using 16Gbit/s or 8Gbit/s Fujitsu QLogic Fibre Channel
cards.

Channel card connected devices, and that automatic Target ID allocation be disabled. For details of the Target ID settings, refer to the "Fibre Channel Controller User's Guide".
By default, Target IDs are automatically allocated. However, when a device is added, automatic Target ID
allocation can result in a different distribution of Target IDs, which can cause the devices to not be recognized.

Setting Fixed Target IDs

Each device connected to a Fibre Channel card is allocated a Target ID. By default, these Target IDs are automatically allocated by the driver. Under this default, the device Target IDs may be reallocated as devices are
added and removed, or depending on how the devices are recognized. If the Target IDs have changed when
the server reboots, devices may end up off-line, and unavailable depending on the OS or application being
used. To avoid this, it is recommended that a fixed Target ID be allocated to each device and automatic Target ID allocation be disabled.
