Qla2340 Driver For Mac
Hello,
LEXMARK C935 PRINTER DRIVER FOR WINDOWS 7 - Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. The foam packing around the photoconductor units, click here for image. This will require a service action to the printer.

Setup: CX300, SPA and SPB on fabric via FC switch. Single QLA2340=
HBA on a linux host. No PowerPath.
I am trying to setup a CX300 on a linux (fedora) host with the=
2.4.x kernel. HBA driver is installed (lsmod, /proc/scsi/, etc=
appear good), and i can get to the point where the first LUN is=
bound to the host. However, the host is not able to sense the=
LUN, and dmesg shows following -
dmesg grep sdc
Attached scsi disk sdc at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
sdc: Unit Not Ready, sense:
sdc : READ CAPACITY failed.
sdc : status =3D 1, message =3D 00, host =3D 0, driver =3D 08
sdc : block size assumed to be 512 bytes, disk size 1GB.
sdc: I/O error: dev 08:20, sector 0
When i try to update the host data in Navisphere UI, i get the=
message saying 'unable to retrieve host data.' It also says=
'invalid server' and 'unknown IP,' in Host properties, although=
the full hostname is detected properly, and is registered.
Storage and host are both in the same subnet.
Appreciate any clues! I can be more specific, if needed, just=
didn't want to make this a very long email..
Thanks,
Anjan
Abstract
The documents titled Supported Hardware List and Recommended Software Levels provide the operating systems, host adapters, SAN fabric elements, RAID controllers and selected other hardware that have been tested or qualified by IBM.
For operating systems, we show the latest tested release levels and service packs. Only the listed operating systems are supported. For host adapters, SAN fabric elements and RAID controllers, we list our currently recommended firmware and/or BIOS levels and formally support only the hardware listed.
While these levels are not mandatory levels for a customer to be supported by IBM, they are the recommended levels. There may be known operational issues with older firmware and BIOS levels and, in these cases, a customer working with the IBM Support Centre may be directed to upgrade a component to a recommended level.
Content
IMPORTANT NOTICE: SAN Volume Controller V3.1.0 is no longer supported. Refer to the SAN Volume Controller Support Statement for further information.
Whilst IBM recommends these levels based upon the most recent testing, the following levels were tested against previous versions of SVC and IBM will support the use of these levels with SVC V3.1.0.

Optical PassThrough Module | Brocade McDATA CNT Cisco | The BladeCenter Optical Pass Through Module is essentially a connection between Fibre Channel HBAs in the BladeCenter and the external SAN. As the BladeCenter HBAs are functionally equivalent to a QLogic 231x type adapter, this optical pass through mode of attachment may be used with all SVC SAN configurations that support QLogic HBA attachment to the SVC | Some configurations will require the use of interop mode.

Guidelines for zoning iSCSI hosts and SVC
In a conventional Fibre Channel SAN, there will normally be a number of SAN paths between a particular SVC IO group and the server HBA ports that use the vdisks supplied by that IO group. A multipathing device driver is run on the server to resolve these multiple paths into a single logical device that the server can perform I/O to. The multipathing device driver also provides failover and path recovery functions that deal with scenarios where the SAN fabric paths change or fail. The present iSCSI solution however only supports a single path between the iSCSI host NIC and the SVC vdisk and there is no multipathing driver in the iSCSI host. This means that there is no recovery from errors and is not possible to concurrently upgrade the SVC firmware while maintaining connectivity from an iSCSI host system. As such it is inappropriate for the SVC to present the vdisk at multiple ports in the Fibre Channel SAN, and to prevent this, the user must select a single SVC port in each SVC IO group that is to be associated with each iSCSI host. Zoning is then applied in the MDS switch so that each iSCSI host can see only one SVC port in each SVC IO group. If multiple iSCSI hosts are in use, the hosts should be evenly spread across the ports in each SVC IO group. The SVC svctask mkvdiskhostmap command should then used to ensure that each SVC vdisk is mapped to a single NIC in the server.

RAID Controllers
An SVC configuration must include at least one storage controller which supports SVC quorum disks.
Please refer to the Configuration Guide which details the recommended customer configurable settings that should be applied for each storage controller type.

Other Hardware
Technologies for extending the distance between two SVC clusters can be broadly divided into the following two categories. These extenders are only supported as inter cluster links and not intra cluster links, i.e. they should not be used between SVC nodes that are part of the same cluster.
Inter Cluster Fibre Channel Extenders
Fibre channel extenders simply extend a fibre channel link by transmitting fibre channel packets across long links without changing the contents of those packets. IBM has tested a number of such fibre channel extender technologies with SVC up to a maximum one way latency of 34ms and will support any fibre channel extender technology provided that it is planned, installed and tested meeting the requirements as detailed on the Software Restrictions document.
Inter Cluster SAN Routers
SAN routers extend the scope of a SAN by providing 'virtual nPorts' on two or more SANs. The router arranges that traffic at one virtual nPort is propagated to the other virtual nPort but the two fibre channel fabrics are independent of one another. Thus nPorts on each of the fabrics cannot directly log into each other.
Due to the more complex interactions involved, IBM explicitly tests products of this class for interoperability with SAN Volume Controller.
Distance limitations are defined below as latency measured in milliseconds (ms). Please visit the Software Restrictions document for more information.
