  can someone tell me where to find the drivers to a SAS 5/e HBA, PCI Express card? Thank you.

  
  

• Install the HBA drivers for ESXi hosts

  We currently have a plan to install a new system with our spare essentials vCenter license, Emulex HBA cards in the DELL gear that we will make our ESXi hosts.

  
  How to configure adapters HBAS in ESXi, can we recommend has someone already installed drivers Emulex HBA in an ESXi host?

  
  Defining the ESXi host should not be a problem, but it is just to install the drivers in ESXi I'm stumped.

  What version of ESXi, you install? Check the VMware HCL for IO devices and if you HBA is compatible, try to do a default install and maybe the ESXi will recognize and load the drivers without having to do any additional setup.

• Update firmware HBA Qlogic? Or delivered with the driver?

  I'm about to start resettlement of esxi clusters 5.1 to 5.5. By doing this, I get all the updated firmware. We are System X IBM has a pretty good bundler of everything. The only exception is for 2562 Qlogic which was an optional update. I'm bios 3.2 and 5.1 firmware. BIOS newer is 3.24 and I do not have any fixed revolutionary. I can't find any information on the newest firmware, so I decided to update anyway when I came across this link, which says that there is no need to update the firmware on the Qlogic HBA, the pilots themselves?

  http://blogs.VMware.com/vSphere/2013/02/QLogic-HBA-firmware-versions.html

  Can someone explain is more in detail for me and is it true?

  I can confirm it has packaged, too.

  Before installing ESXi 5.1, I've updated firmware to 7.0 manually. Once ESXi is installed, I found firmware has been downgraded to 5.0 that comes with the driver of stock. Then I updated the driver, firmware has been updated to 7.0 again.

• QLogic QLE4060 HBA appearing is not in the virtual Center

  Hi all

  We seem to have a problem with our new iSCSI HBA. We have installed in our server ESX 3.02 and booted up expecting to see listed as an initiator adapter of storage under the heading 'Material', but the HBA or the 'Initiator material' section appears.

  Is there something else we need to do to get the card to display in esx?

  See you soon

  Hello

  It would seem that your QLogic HBA is not supported in the version of ESX server that you are running.  Your HBA is not listed in the HCL for your version of ESX server-> http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_io_guide.pdf

  It is supported under 3.5 and 3i, however. -> http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi35_io_guide.pdf

  Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

• THE QLOGIC BIOS UPDATE

  Hello

  I need to upgrade the bios of qlogic HBA on my esxi5.

  I would like to know if it is possible (instead of using usb key that boot in dos mode) to upgrade the bios with sunsurfer hba manager installed in the other server (not esx)

  In the old version of ESX, I used the sansurfer cli (console service whitin) but I think that is no possible for the new version.

  You have an idea? Or I have to upgrade the bios with the USB?

  Thank you

  M.

• QLogic WWN issue

  All the Qlogic hba 2464 we have their ports 21 00 and 21 01

  IE: FF 21 00 00 44, 22 B5 2nd port 0 and 21 01 00 44 FF 22 B5 2 port 1

  But we had recently a 2464 where wwn looks like:

  FF 21 00 00 44, 22 2 B5 and FF 21 00 00 44, 22 B5 2F.  Then, instead of the 21 00 and 21 01, only the last hexadecimal value is changed.  I know that it's different wwn. But is that normal or what?

  Hey BeckhamK

  I have an environment with all of QLogic and, sometimes, the last Hex values are changed and sometimes the second series of HEX are different on the same HBA. As long as it is zoned properly I wouldn't worry abou little.

  Take care

• ESXi cannot see FC HBA

  The server worked fine with a Qlogic HBA inside. I decided to try a LSI7104XP - SGI FC HBA on the DL740 HP but now ESXi does not even see the HBA.

  The server sees the card very well at the start, the storage is seen but once ESXi is in place, he does not see the adapter.

  I found

  http://communities.VMware.com/thread/73107

  but I'm not sure that's my answer.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  You could.

  Mentioning the real model of HBA in the title of this thread (or another) could get you visibility, maybe. But the two threads that appeared when I tried did not look too promising.

• AX150 - culture

  Hi all.  I have an AX150 that works very well.  We have 6 x 500 GB drives in there, and they are very good.

  I'm out of space, so I ordered another 6 x 750 GB disks to install in the other 6 slots.

  What I'm looking for is a documentation on what should I do to install these discs correctly - without disrupting my current table.

  I think I need to improve our (failure) Flare operating environment, and am I obliged to upgrade the HBA drivers in all servers attached to the SAN too?

  I've also will modernize our Navisphere - but is there a documented process for it can you help me find?

  Thanks in advance...

• M620 IO CARDS

  Hello

  We have a client and that he wants to buy two new servers M620 blade with the following configuration:
  Fabric A - Broadcom 57810S NDC
  Fabric B - Broadcom 57810S NIC
  Fabric C - Qlogic QME2572

  In the meantime, he has the following configuration of the i/o Modules:
  Fabric A - PowerConnect M6220 x 2
  Fabric B - PowerConnect M6220 x 2
  Fabric C - Brocade M5424 x 2

  Question: New M620 blades are compatible with the current configuration of Modules e/s?

  The following message by DELL - Kevin Ho has been proposed as a response to "Re: M620 i/o CARDS:

  Quick response - YES, the M620 are compatible with your current configuration of the i/o Module.

  Long answer - Broadcom network you have installed are 10GbE, but they will work with 1GbE switches, you have fabric A and B.  The HBA Qlogic that you have will work as long as you have a fabric fiber c/o module.  Your list of configurations of the currently listed I/O module a Qlogic HBA, so assuming that it is actually a fiber I/O module, you should be fine.
