Installing Supported Fibre Channel HBAs

The storage array supports a specific set of Fibre Channel HBAs, each

requiring a unique driver and firmware level. See the Support Matrix at

support.dell.com/manuals for a list of supported HBAs with the software

patches, knowledge bases, drivers, firmware, and BIOS versions.

If an HBA is already installed on your host server, verify that it is supported in

the Support Matrix and is operating at the driver and/or firmware level

specified. If the HBA is not listed in the Support Matrix, it should not be used

to connect to the storage array.

CAUTION:

Connecting the storage array to a non-supported host server HBA or

installing non-qualified HBA drivers or firmware can cause instability or loss of

access to your data.

For instructions about physically installing an HBA in your host server and

loading supported drivers and firmware, see the documentation supplied with

your HBA hardware.

In most cases, the default manufacturer HBA driver and firmware settings are

sufficient to support Fibre Channel communication with the storage array.

However, in the case of certain HBA manufacturers, the Support Matrix may

contain information about specific driver and firmware settings necessary to

optimize storage array. Review the Support Matrix to ensure that you are aware

of any customized settings that may affect the performance of your HBA.

NOTE:

Most Fibre Channel HBAs require a link timeout and node timeout value of

10 seconds. This value can be set using the HBA manufacturer's management

utilities, such as Emulex's OneCommand Manager and QLogic's Enterprise

Fabric Suite.
