1. Introduction:
================
QCS is a GUI application that allows user to manage QLogic 10Gb Network Adapters. It has 
the ability to show information and statistics, configure the driver properties
and manage the storage devices.

QCS requires the appropriate QLMAPI module, CIM Provider and device driver in
order to work correctly. QCS can be used to manage adapters
on both local as well as remote computer systems.


2. Requirements:
================
    
    1. CIM provider is installed properly on the system that is to 
       be managed by this utility.
    2. Appropriate device driver for the QLogic NIC is installed on the 
       system that is to be managed by this utility.
    3. For managing iscsi on Linux hosts, open-iscsi and sg utilities
       are required to be installed on the Linux host.


3. Scope:
=========
Supported Operating Systems
    - Windows Server 2008
    - Windows Server 2008 R2
    - Windows 7
    - Windows 8
    - Windows 8.1
    - Windows Server 2012
    - Windows Server 2012 R2


4. Limitation:
==============
    1. All WindowsPE systems are not supported.
    2. For WMI connection, starting with Windows Vista, QCS4 can connect with
       IPv6 setup, for windows Server 2003 and windows XP, only IPv4 is supported.
       http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa391769(v=vs.85).aspx.


5. Installation:
================
    1. On the system with QLogic adapters, install
       the appropriate driver package using the driver installer.
       
    2. On the system with QLogic adapters, install
       the CIM provider and its dependent components. 

    3. QCS and all the required files can be installed by the QCS
       installer.


7. Special notes on WMI setup:
==============================
    1. In order to run QCS, user need to set up WMI correctly, please refer 
       Microsoft document how to setup WMI correctly.
    2. User need administrator privilege to modify the configurations and
       perform any actions, such as create a team.
    3. In Windows Vista and later (with UAC enabled), a process must be elevated 
       and be running as a user in the Administrators group to be able  to 
       change configuration and perform actions. To do this, create the following 
       DWORD registry value (if it does not exist already):
       HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
       \LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
       Set the value data to 1 to disable remote UAC processing.
    4. For Windows XP Pro or Windows 2003 Server computer, make sure Sharing and 
       security model is not set to "Guest only". To do this, open the Local 
       Security Policy editor (e.g. by typing 'secpol.msc' into the Run box, 
       without quotes). Expand the "Local Policies" node and select "Security 
       Options". Now scroll down to the setting titled "Network access: Sharing 
       and security model for local accounts". If this is set to "Guest only", 
       change it to "Classic" and restart the computer.
