Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards

This section describes how to set up the VMware ESX server for use with the Emulex Converged Network

Adapter cards described in the "Server Support Matrix".

Depending on the Converged Network Adapter card used, the actual on-screen Converged Network Adapt-

er card information may differ from that in the screenshots shown in this manual.

1.2.1

Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards

Install the Converged Network Adapter card to the server, and acquire the physical address and World Wide

Name (WWN) for the Converged Network Adapter card.

The physical address and WWN of a Converged Network Adapter card are required information in the fol-

•

lowing cases: when an error has occurred in the system, when using the ETERNUS DX storage systems (host

affinity function, etc.) to restrict server access, or when connecting the ETERNUS DX storage systems and

the server using a Fibre Channel switch and a CEE/FCoE switch.

The relationship between a physical address and WWN cannot be determined from the BIOS. The physical

•

address and WWN must be recorded as a pair when each Converged Network Adapter card is installed.

Physical address and WWN must be assigned to "WWN instance management table for the server".

The workflow is shown below.

(1) Install the Converged Network Adapter card

(2) Turn on the server

(3) Acquire the physical address and WWN for the Converged Network Adapter card

(4) Add a record for the server in the WWN instance management table for the server

The procedure is as follows:

Install the Converged Network Adapter card in the server.

For the installation method, slot positions, activation of the installed slot, and notes regarding the Con-

verged Network Adapter card, refer to the manual provided with the Converged Network Adapter card

or the user guide of the server.

Turn on the server, and press the [Alt] + [E] keys or [Ctrl] + [E] keys while the following message is

displayed.
