Installation and Configuration of Network AdaptersN20-AQ0002 Cisco 2 Ports Fiber Channel Network Adapter is a hardware component that enables a server to connect to a Fiber Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). The installation and configuration process of N20-AQ0002 consists of the following steps:
- Physical installation: Install the N20-AQ0002 into a server according to the hardware installation guide provided by Cisco. Ensure that the server has sufficient power, cooling, and firmware updates.
- Software installation: Install the appropriate drivers and software for the N20-AQ0002 on the server operating system. This is typically done using the server's operating system's package manager.
- SAN configuration: Configure the Fiber Channel switch or director that the N20-AQ0002 will be connected to. This typically involves assigning the WWNs (World Wide Names) of the N20-AQ0002 ports to a zone in the switch or director's configuration.
- Server configuration: Configure the server's operating system to recognize the N20-AQ0002 and its attached SAN. This typically involves creating a new HBA (Host Bus Adapter) in the operating system, and configuring the HBA to use the appropriate driver for the N20-AQ0002.
- LUN (Logical Unit Number) masking: Configure LUN masking on the SAN so that the server only has access to the LUNs (logical drives) it needs to access. This is important for security and performance reasons.
