Installing the Emulex adapter for an Intel host running VMware ESX Server

This section provides instructions for installing the Emulex adapter for an Intel™ host running VMware ESX Server.

Note: The LP9402DC adapter card is a 3.3 volt card only and requires a 3.3 volt PCI slot.
Single and dual-port fibre-channel interfaces with an Emulex adapter card support the following public and private loop modes:
  • Target
  • Public initiator
  • Private initiator
  • Target and public initiator
  • Target and private initiator
  1. Record the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) number that is printed on the card. You can use the IEEE number to determine the WWPN.
    Note: You can find the WWPN in your /proc/scsi/<adapter_type>/<n> directory, where <adapter_type> is the host adapter type and <n> the host adapter number for your card. Your host adapter type can be either qlaxxxx for QLogic adapters or lpfccd for Emulex adapters.
  2. Refer to the installation instructions provided by your host adapter vendor for their specific installation instructions. See http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/ibm/index.htm for the latest documentation.
