Configuration Management Tools

Depending on your operating environment and preferred system management techniques, you can use

any of the following tools to set up NIC partitions (NPARs) on 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters’ ports to

meet your system’s networking requirements:

• “QLogic OptionROM at POST” on page 49

• “QConvergeConsole (QCC) GUI” on page 49

• “QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI” on page 49

• “QLogic Device Windows Properties Page” on page 50

QLogic OptionROM at POST The QLogic OptionROM is flashed on the 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters

at the factory. When you first start the server that contains 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters, the power-on

self test (POST) starts. Running the POST test gives you access to the OptionROM utility.

For procedures on setting up NPAR and eSwitch parameters using the OptionROM while powering up the

host server, see “QLogic OptionROM at POST” on page 51.

QConvergeConsole (QCC) GUI The QConvergeConsole unified adapter Web management interface is

a web-based client/server application that allows for centralized management and configuration of QLogic

adapters within the entire network (LAN and SAN).

On the server side, the QConvergeConsole runs as an Apache Tomcat Server web application. After the

application is launched on the web server, you can connect to the QConvergeConsole's GUI through a

browser, either locally on the server or remotely from another computer. Your browser window becomes

the client used to connect to servers that host the 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters and connected storage

devices within the network.

In addition to the configuration and management tools available through the QConvergeConsole GUI, the

QCC enables you to partition and configure NIC ports and eSwitch parameters on 8200 and 3200 Series

Adapters.

Follow the procedures in the QConvergeConsole User’s Guide to install the application on a Windows or

Linux server. Before using the QCC GUI to configure NPAR on your 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters, you

must also install the drivers on the server where the 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters reside.

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 server where the adapters reside:

— 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 57.

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.
