Step 4: Install and Run the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager
SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager is a management application to view, manage, and diagnose QLogic HBAs. SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager also configures HBAs and target devices on the HBAs. See Installing SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager for complete installation instructions.
SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager runs as both an application with standalone (non-agent mode) access to local system QLogic iSCSI HBAs and as a client/server application, with the client application running on a hardware platform that supports Java and agents running on each system that has QLogic HBAs. If you are using SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager on a host system where HBAs are installed, install the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager application (GUI) on the local host. Installing the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager agent on the local host is optional. The agent will be used instead of the non-agent mode if it is installed on the local system.
NOTE: In SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager, remote procedure calls (RPCs) are used. In Windows, the RPC service (ONC/RPC Portmapper) required by SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager is installed automatically. In Linux, the appropriate RPC libraries must be installed by the Linux distribution. See the Linux distribution documentation for information about installing RPC services before installing SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager. In Solaris SPARC, the /usr/sbin/rpcbind process is required for RPC communication of the remote agent.
