Installation and Configuration
The installation and configuration of the Dell Sanblade 16GBPS PCI-E Dual Port Fiber Channel HBA (1KK8W) is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few steps. Here are the steps for installing and configuring the HBA:
- Install the HBA into an available PCIe slot in your server. Make sure that the full height and low profile bracket is securely attached to the HBA.
- Connect the Fiber Channel cables to the HBA ports. Make sure that the connectors are properly seated and locked.
- Power on the server and boot into the operating system.
- Install the Emulex OneCommand Manager and OneConnect Universal (UCNA) driver, which can be downloaded from the Dell website.
- Configure the HBA in the operating system. The HBA should be recognized as a Fibre Channel adapter and can be configured using the Emulex OneCommand Manager or the operating system's device manager.
- Assign World Wide Names (WWNs) to the HBA ports. WWNs are unique identifiers that are used to identify the HBA in the storage network.
- Configure the Fibre Channel zoning on the storage switch. Zoning is the process of creating logical groups of Fibre Channel devices that are allowed to communicate with each other.
- Configure the LUN masking on the storage array. LUN masking is the process of defining which LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) are visible to the server.
- Verify that the HBA is working properly by accessing the storage array from the server.
These steps will help you install and configure the Dell Sanblade 16GBPS PCI-E Dual Port Fiber Channel HBA, allowing you to take advantage of its high-speed connectivity and low-latency data transfer. If you encounter any issues during the installation or configuration process, please consult the user manual or contact Dell technical support for assistance.
