Special instructions for CLARiiON CX200-Series
This section contains special instructions to set the adapter FC-AL
Loop ID for the CLARiiON CX200-Series.
Set the adapter FC-AL Loop ID
While configuring an Emulex LPx adapter for Windows and
connection to EMC CLARiiON CX200-Series for direct-connect
cluster configurations, you must manually set the adapter AL_PA
(FC-AL Loop ID). Once set, this value will be honored by the adapter
and driver throughout the boot process.
In the following steps, you do not need to enable the Boot BIOS or
change the default topology settings, since the adapter will not be
used as a boot device.
To manually set the AL_PA on each adapter:
Note: This procedure requires a minimum adapter BIOS revision of 1.60a7. If
you are not at this minimum revision, update to the latest supported adapter
BIOS revision as described under “Updating the flash firmware/BIOS” on
page 30.
Note: Perform this procedure on all nodes in the cluster connected to the
CX200-Series array.
Note: Future firmware upgrades will not overwrite changes made using this
procedure.
1. Reboot the server; when the Emulex BIOS banner (shown below)
appears, press Alt–E to start the BIOS utility:
If you miss the banner, reboot and try again.
