After you install the Brocade host bus
adapter (HBA) and the driver on a Microsoft Windows Server operating
system host, you must configure the HBA.
For more information about supported Brocade
models, see the following website:
To configure the HBA BIOS, either use the Brocade Host
Connectivity Manager (HCM) software or reboot into the Brocade configuration
tool. Configure the following settings:
- Host Adapter BIOS: Disabled (unless the machine is configured
for SAN Boot)
- Queue depth: 4
You can disable the BIOS by using the
command-line configuration tool:
- bcu bios disable 1/0
- bcu bios disable 1/0
You can set the queue depth by using the command-line
configuration tool:
- bcu fcpim qdepth 1/04
- bcu fcpim qdepth 1/14
You can query the settings by using the command-line configuration
tool:
- bcu port query 1/0
- bcu port query 1/1
