QConvergeConsole (QCC) CLI
QConvergeConsole (QCC)Â CLI is a management utility that centralizesÂ
management and configuration of QLogic adapters within the entire network (LANÂ
and SAN).
QCC manages iSCSI, Ethernet, and FCoE functions on 8200 and 3200 SeriesÂ
Adapters installed in a Linux or Windows environment.
In addition to the configuration and management capabilities available through theÂ
QConvergeConsole CLI, the QCC CLI enables you to partition and configure NICÂ
ports and eSwitch parameters on 8200 and 3200 Series Adapters.Â
Follow the procedures for your operating system in theÂ
QConvergeConsole CLIÂ
Userâs GuideÂ
to install the application on the host server.Â
For command references needed while using QCC CLI, refer to theÂ
QConvergeConsole CLI Userâs Guide.
Before using QCC CLI to configure NPAR on your 8200 and 3200 SeriesÂ
Adapters, you must install the OS-specific drivers on the server where the 8200Â
and 3200 Series Adapters reside. You can use the QLogic SuperInstaller for yourÂ
host serverâs operating system (Windows or Linux) to install the FibreÂ
Channel/FCoE, NIC, and iSCSI drivers. To download the drivers, go toÂ
http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com
