To Determine and Change the
Operating Protocol Mode Using the QConvergeConsole GUI
The QLogic QConvergeConsole GUI utility is a
browser-based client/server application that allows centralized
management and configuration of QLogic adapters within the SAN.
For QLogic QConvergeConsole GUI installation and management instructions,
see the ReadMe file included in the QCC GUI installation package.
Additionally, a QLogic QConverge Console GUI User's Guide is available at
the Oracle support area of the QLogic web site.
Follow these instructions to determine and change the operating
protocol mode of the universal HBA:
- Open
a web browser.
- In the address bar of the browser,
specify the server where QConvergeConsole is installed:
The QConvergeConsole main window is displayed, the following figure shows an example of the
QConvergeConsole main screen and identifies the main parts of the
screen.
- Connect to the host containing
the universal HBA as follows:
- Locate the Input hostname/address
field in the upper-left corner of the QConvergeConsole screen.
- In the Input hostname/address field, enter the name or IP address of the host, as shown in the
following figure.
- Click Connect to initiate the
connection.
When the connection is complete, the host and its HBAs are displayed in the system
tree.
Note - To allow Oracle Solaris 10 hosts to connect to an Oracle
Solaris 11 host, the netservices open command
must be issued on the Oracle Solaris 11 host after each reboot of
the Oracle Solaris 11 host. However, connections can be made to Oracle
Solaris 10 hosts from either Oracle Solaris 10 or Oracle Solaris
11 without needing to issue the netservices open command
on either host.
- In the system tree, select the universal HBA on the host, and then select the Personality
(operating protocol mode) tab, as shown in the following
figure.
- Set the personality (operating
protocol mode) of the universal HBA by selecting FC Only for Fibre
Channel, or CNA for converged network adapter.
- Click Save to save the new settings.
- Close the QConvergeConsole and
reboot the system that has the universal HBA installed for the change
to take effect.
Note - For systems that have hot-plug/hot swap capability,
instead of initiating a full power reboot of the system, you can
perform a hot-plug out and hot-plug in of the card.
