This section applies to hosts that are running the Windows® Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 operating
system.
After you install the Brocade host bus adapter (HBA) and
the driver, you must configure the HBA. See the following Web site
for more information about supported Brocade models:
www.ibm.com/storage/support/2145
To
configure the HBA BIOS, either use the Brocade Host Connectivity Manager
(HCM) software or reboot into the Brocade configuration tool. Configure
the following settings:
- Host Adapter BIOS: Disabled (unless the machine is configured
for SAN Boot)
- Queue depth: 4
You can disable the BIOS by using the command-line configuration
tool:
- bcu bios —disable 1/0
- bcu bios —disable 1/0
You can set the queue depth by using the command-line
configuration tool:
- bcu fcpim —qdepth 1/04
- bcu fcpim —qdepth 1/14
You can query the settings by using the command-line configuration tool:
- bcu port —query 1/0
- bcu port —query 1/1
