Installing additional Fibre Channel host bus adapters If the HBA device driver has already been installed once, and you are adding an additional HBA onto the system, when the system starts, it will detect the device and display the Found New Hardware with QLogic QLA2200 PCI Fibre Channel Adapter message. Use the following procedures to complete the driver installation: 1. When the Digital Signature Not Found screen is displayed, select Yes. 2. When the Insert Disk message appears, browse to your downloaded QLogic driver file and click OK. 3. Click Finish on the Found New Hardware Wizard/Completing the Found New Hardware Wizard screen. You will be prompted by the message: Your hardware settings have changed. You must restart. Do you want to restart your computer now? Click Yes to restart the computer.

Installing additional drive enclosures Additional drive enclosures can be added to a configuration using the following procedure: 1. Install the drive enclosures in a rack cabinet. 2. If there is more than one enclosure, use cable redundancy in the drive configuration. 3. Add additional drive enclosures. Do not power them up. Do not add drives at this time. 4. Make sure Tray IDs are unique for each drive enclosure. 5. Power on the drive enclosures with no drives installed. 6. Run the DisableDriveMigration.scr script under SM7. (If you run scripts, you must reset the controllers. See step 7.) 7. Reset each controller by pressing the white button next to the LEDs on the front panel of the RAID controllers or follow the Fibre Channel solution shutdown and startup procedures on page 23. Note: Resetting the controllers does not reset the configuration. If you reset the configuration, all data will be lost. Resetting the controllers means that you are restarting the controllers for the scripts to take effect. 8. Open the SM7 console to see the additional enclosures and to monitor drive additions. 9. Add drives two at a time. Make sure they are seen in the SM7 console. They should be listed as unconfigured capacity. 10. Continue to add drives two at a time until all drives are inserted and verified. 11. Run the EnableDriveMigration.scr script. 12. Reset each controller again by pressing the white button next to the LEDs on the front panel of the RAID controllers. 13. Use the SM7 configuration console to create additional arrays and to configure any additional storage partitioning. 22 IBM Fibre Channel: Basic SAN Configuration Setup Guide
