Installing an Emulex adapter and driver for Windows 2000 or 2003

This section describes how you install and configure an Emulex adapter card and driver for a Windows^® 2000 or 2003 host.

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

Note: The Emulex LP9402DC adapter card is a 3.3 volt card only and requires a 3.3 volt PCI slot

Complete the following steps to install and configure an Emulex adapter:

Record the IEEE number that is printed on the adapter card. You can use the IEEE number to determine the WWPN.
Install and configure the adapter and driver on the host. See the installation instructions that are provided by your host adapter vendor for specific adapter and adapter driver instructions. Go to Downloading and installing a host adapter driver or http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/ibm/index.htm .
Table 1 provides the recommended settings for the following Emulex adapters: LP9002L, LP9002DC, LP9402DC, LP9802, LP10000, LP10000DC, LP11000, LP11002, LPE11000, and LPE11002 adapters. Parameters are provided for the Exlcfg and HBAnywhere interfaces.
Connect the cable to the adapter and to the DS6000™ or switch port that you configured for the host adapter. If you have not configured host adapter ports on your DS6000, see Host configuration through the DS Storage Manager.

Notes: These fields are no longer used, but have been retained for possible future use. This parameter cannot be managed directly through the elxcfg interface. The format of this parameter is documented in the readme.txt file and in the following text: If 1, it will issue a bus reset instead of a target reset when receiving an IOCTL_STORAGE_BREAK_RESERVATION IOCTL. The default is 0, which will issue a target reset to a given target ID. All timer-related parameters in the HBAnyware interface are managed in the elxcfg interface under the Tuning/Timers menu. Topology and link speed are managed in the exlcfg interface under the Tuning/Link control menu. In the HBAnyware interface, they are combined into a single parameter: InitLinkFlags. The format of this parameter is documented in the readme.txt file and in the following text: The InitLinkFlags is divided into several fields. Starting from bit 0, bits 0-2 are the initialization type. If bits 0-2 are 000, the link will be initialized as Arbitrated Loop. If bits 0-2 are 010, the link will be initialized as Point to Point. The presence of a fabric is automatically detected in either case. Bit 23, if set, indicates the adapter should attempt the other topology type should the first selection fail to initialize. This option is only available with firmware that supports this option. Bits 24 to 31 are the encoded speed value. If bits 24-31 are 0x00, the link speed is discovered automatically. If bits 24-31 are 0x01, the link speed is forced to 1 Gigabit per second. If bits 24-31 are 0x02, the link speed is forced to 2 Gigabits per second. If bits 24-31 are 0x04, the link speed is forced to 4 Gigabits per second. This option is only available with adapters that support more than one link speed.
