1.2
General Description
Thank you for selecting the QLA23xx Fibre Channel (FC) HBA. The QLA23xx HBA
is an intelligent, high-performance, DMA bus master host adapter designed for
high-end systems. The intelligence and performance are derived from the ISP23xx
chips, making the QLA23xx HBA a leading-edge host adapter. The ISP23xx
combines a powerful RISC processor, a Fibre Channel protocol manager (FPM)
with one 2-Gb Fibre Channel transceiver, and a peripheral component
interconnect-extended (PCI-X) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The
QLA23xx HBA supports all FC peripherals that support private loop direct attach
(PLDA) and fabric loop attach (FLA). Installation of the QLA23xx HBA is quick and
easy.
1.3
What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol
(SCSI-FCP) standard. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology
used for mass storage and networking. It connects mainframes, super computers,
workstations, storage devices, and servers.
Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates up to 200 MBps half-duplex and
400 MBps full-duplex on copper and optical interfaces. The QLA23xx HBAs use a
multimode optical interface for intermediate distances (less than 500 meters at the
data rate of 1 Gbps; less than 300 meters at the data rate of 2 Gbps).

Installation in the Computer
ꢀ
Perform the following steps to install the QLA2340/2340L HBA in your PC:
1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to
accommodate the QLA2340/2340L HBA.
TheQLA2340/2340LHBAisself-configuring;however,somemotherboards
require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI
Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you
must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels. If the motherboard
supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA2340/2340L HBA. See
the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer
dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.
2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.
3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.
4. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports bus mastering. Most motherboards
automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line; if your motherboard
does not, you must assign the IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this slot.
NOTE:
I Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master
and slave. The QLA2340/2340L HBA must be in a PCI bus
master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots
that are shared with onboard devices. QLA2340/2340L HBAs
do not work in shared slots.)
I PCI connectors vary among system HBA manufacturers. The
QLA2340/2340L HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function
in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification
(the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the
QLA2340/2340L HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to
the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA2340/2340L
HBA.
I PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI
and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the slot type.
I The QLA2340/2340L HBAs are designed and tested to operate
at PCI bus speeds of up to 133 MHz.
5. Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the
QLA2340/2340L HBA.
6. Place the QLA2340/2340L HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into
the slot until it seats firmly.
7. Secure the QLA2340/2340L HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC
manufacturer’s instructions.

If your system has an IDE hard disk, it may be assigned device number 80, which
is the boot device. If your system does not have an IDE hard disk, a parallel SCSI
host bus adapter (HBA), or a RAID adapter, the first bootable FC hard disk
configured (the one with the lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes
the boot device. The QLA2340/2340L HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device
is connected to the QLA2340/2340L HBA.

2.4.6
Building the Bootable Disk
This procedure assumes that the system is already booted from an existing system
hard disk, and that you have already performed a full system backup.
The device path on each system differs, depending on the PCI bus slot, target ID,
LUN, etc. The device name shown in this example is for a device on the third PCI
bus slot, target ID 130, LUN 0, slice 0.
You must have already completed the steps in the previous sections before
attempting to create a bootable disk.
To build a bootable disk, perform the following steps:
1. Determine the amount of disk space used/available on your current boot
disk. Use the df command for a listing. For example:
/usr/bin/df -k -l

/home
This df example shows that the current boot disk is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s(x).
There are two partitions of interest, slice 0 (/) and slice 7 (/home). Slice 0
uses 1.65 GB and has 875 MB free. Slice 7 uses 114 MB and has 5 GB
free. Therefore, slice 7 (/home) contains enough disk space to store the
temporary saveset files.

ꢀ
If there were not at least 1.7 GB free on this disk, you would need to create
a partition on the new bootable disk large enough to hold the largest
temporary saveset files plus the largest used space on a partition. In this
example, it would be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition.
2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new
bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your
temporary saveset files. If you are not familiar with the format command,
refer to the Solaris documentation.
WARNING!! Misusing the format command can destroy the data on your
current disk drives.
a. At the root prompt, type format.
b. A list of available hard disks displays. Specify the disk.
c. At the format prompt, type partition.

6. Use the ufsdump utility to copy the root partition to the new book disk. For
example:
ufsdump 0f - / | ufsrestore rf -
7. Use the rm command to delete the restoresymtable file:
rm restoresymtable
8. Install the boot block on the new boot disk. For example:
installboot /usr/platform/’uname -i’
/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c3t130d0s0
NOTE: Platform-specific information (’uname -i’) varies depending on
the hardware platform.
9. Edit the new vfstab file to properly mount the new partitions during boot. In
this case, each reference to c0t0d0s0 is changed to c3t130d0s0. For
example:
vi /mnt/etc/vfstab
10. Shut down the system. Type the following:
/sbin/init 0
11. Boot from the newly created boot disk. For example:
boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4/sd@82,0
NOTE: The target device ID (sd@82) is in hexadecimal. The decimal value
is used in step 3.
12. View the current dump device setting. For example:
# dumpadm
Dump content: kernel pages
Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 (swap)
Savecore directory: /var/crash/saturn
Savecore enabled: yes
13. Change the dump device to the swap area of the new boot drive. For
example:
# dumpadm -d /dev/dsk/c3t130d0s1
NOTE: Steps 14 and 15 set the newly created boot disk as the default boot
disk. These steps are performed at the system OBP (ok) prompt.

Installation in the Computer
ꢀ
Perform the following steps to install the QLA2342/2342L HBA in your PC:
1. Check the motherboard and make any configuration changes necessary to
accommodate the QLA2342/2342L HBA.
TheQLA2342/2342LHBAisself-configuring;however,somemotherboards
require manual configuration. For example, some systems have a PCI
Device Configuration menu in the motherboard setup BIOS where you
must enable HBAs, bus master slots, and IRQ levels. If the motherboard
supports triggering, use level triggering for the QLA2342/2342L HBA. See
the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer
dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.
2. Power down the peripherals, then the computer.
3. Remove the computer cover and save the screws.
4. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports bus mastering. Most motherboards
automatically assign an IRQ level and interrupt line; if your motherboard
does not, you must assign the IRQ level and use interrupt line A for this slot.
NOTE:
I Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master
and slave. The QLA2342/2342L HBA must be in a PCI bus
master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots
that are shared with onboard devices. QLA2342/2342L HBAs
do not work in shared slots.)
I PCI connectors vary among system HBA manufacturers. The
QLA2342/2342L HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function
in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification
(the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched). If you try to install the
QLA2342/2342L HBA into a PCI slot that does not conform to
the PCI specification, you may damage the QLA2342/2342L
HBA.
I PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI
and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to
determine the slot type.
I The QLA2342/2342L HBAs are designed and tested to operate
at PCI bus speeds of up to 133 MHz.
5. Remove the slot cover for the slot in which you will install the
QLA2342/2342L HBA.
6. Place the QLA2342/2342L HBA into the slot. Carefully press the HBA into
the slot until it seats firmly.
7. Secure the QLA2342/2342L HBA to the chassis. Follow the PC
manufacturer’s instructions.

3.4.6
Building the Bootable Disk
This procedure assumes that the system is already booted from an existing system
hard disk, and that you have already performed a full system backup.
The device path on each system differs, depending on the PCI bus slot, target ID,
LUN, etc. The device name shown in this example is for a device on the third PCI
bus slot, target ID 130, LUN 0, slice 0.
You must have already completed the steps in the previous sections before
attempting to create a bootable disk.
To build a bootable disk, perform the following steps:
1. Determine the amount of disk space used/available on your current boot
disk. Use the df command for a listing. For example:
/usr/bin/df -k -l

/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s7 5135326
/home
This df example shows that the current boot disk is /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s(x).
There are two partitions of interest, slice 0 (/) and slice 7 (/home). Slice 0
uses 1.65 GB and has 875 MB free. Slice 7 uses 114 MB and has 5 GB
free. Therefore, slice 7 (/home) contains enough disk space to store the
temporary saveset files.

FCode
ꢀ
If there were not at least 1.7 GB free on this disk, you would need to create
a partition on the new bootable disk large enough to hold the largest
temporary saveset files plus the largest used space on a partition. In this
example, it would be a 3.2 GB (1.6 GB+1.6 GB) partition.
2. Use the format command to create, label, and format partitions on the new
bootable disk. These partitions must be able to contain the contents of your
temporary saveset files. If you are not familiar with the format command,
refer to the Solaris documentation.
WARNING!! Misusing the format command can destroy the data on your
current disk drives.
a. At the root prompt, type format.
b. A list of available hard disks displays. Specify the disk.

6. Use the ufsdump utility to copy the root partition to the new book disk. For
example:
ufsdump 0f - / | ufsrestore rf -
7. Use the rm command to delete the restoresymtable file:
rm restoresymtable
8. Install the boot block on the new boot disk. For example:
installboot /usr/platform/’uname -i’
/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c3t130d0s0
NOTE: Platform-specific information (’uname -i’) varies depending on
the hardware platform.
9. Edit the new vfstab file to properly mount the new partitions during boot. In
this case, each reference to c0t0d0s0 is changed to c3t130d0s0. For
example:
vi /mnt/etc/vfstab
10. Shut down the system. Type the following:
/sbin/init 0
11. Boot from the newly created boot disk. For example:
boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/QLGC,qla@4/sd@82,0
NOTE: The target device ID (sd@82) is in hexadecimal. The decimal value
is used in step 3.
12. View the current dump device setting. For example:
# dumpadm
Dump content: kernel pages
Dump device: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 (swap)
Savecore directory: /var/crash/saturn
Savecore enabled: yes
13. Change the dump device to the swap area of the new boot drive. For
example:
# dumpadm -d /dev/dsk/c3t130d0s1
NOTE: Steps 14 and 15 set the newly created boot disk as the default boot
disk. These steps are performed at the system OBP (ok) prompt.

Building a Driver from the Sources
If your Linux kernel version does not match the one built by QLogic prebuilt driver
binaries, you need to build the driver in your configuration locally. To build a
single-processor or uniprocessor (UP) version of the qla2x00 or qla2300 driver, see
section 9.5.1. To build a symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) version of the qla2x00 or
qla2300 driver, see section 9.5.2.
9.5.1
Building a Uniprocessor Version of the Driver
Perform the following steps to build a uniprocessor version of the qla2x00 driver:
1. Extract the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files from the first Red
Hat CD-ROM.
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -iv kernel-headers*.rpm
# rpm -iv kernel-source*.rpm
2. Using the source code driver floppy disk you created in section 9.2.3, copy
the qla2x00src-x.xx.tgz file to the /home/qla2x00 directory.
# cd /home
# mkdir qla2x00
# cd /home/qla2x00
# mcopy a:*.tgz . (The period [.] at the end is required.)

it must be compiled with the same version number that was assigned to the
original SMP kernel built by Red Hat. This step is not required for Red Hat
Linux 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2.
For Red Hat Linux 6.2, in the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h file,
change the following line:
# define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.14-5.0"
to
# define UTS_RELEASE "2.2.14-5.0smp"
2. Extract the kernel-header and kernel-source RPM files from the first Red
Hat CD-ROM.
# cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
# rpm -iv kernel-headers*.rpm
# rpm -iv kernel-source*.rpm
3. Change to the Linux source directory.
