3.0 Configuring the FibreBridge To configure the ATTO FibreBridge through FibreBridge Services, use ATTO ExpressNAV (a browserbased graphical user interface) for all models except the FibreBridge 1180. Use ATTO BridgeTools to configure the FibreBridge 1180. Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified. ATTO FibreBridge Services includes the means to display and modify various attributes of FibreBridge operation, as well as to update firmware.
3.0.1 Handling multiple initiators Several Fibre Channel hosts or initiators may initiate commands through the FibreBridge to SCSI devices. The basic mechanism to resolve possible conflicts among initiators is to use SCSI Reserve and Release commands. A Fibre Channel host may need exclusive access to a SCSI device. SCSI Reserve and Release commands allow logical units to be reserved or released under host control.
Multiple Fibre Channel initiators Multiple Fibre Channel initiators share a Fibre Channel connection on the SAN with a Fibre Bridge, and there are no other initiators on the SCSI bus. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Fibre Channel Initiator 1 sends the Reserve command through the SAN to the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge determines that no reservation conflict exists at Tier 1. The FibreBridge records the initiator ID (WWN) in its internal database. The FibreBridge sends the Reserve command to the SCSI target.
3.1 Mapping The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Using ExpressNAV for all models except the FibreBridge 1180 is the easiest way to connect SCSI devices to the Fibre Channel loop or fabric. Use BridgeTools for the FibreBridge 1180. To understand more about mapping, refer to Route addressing on page 69, Static device addressing on page 71, and Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only on page 73.
Exhibit 3.
3.1.1 Route addressing The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Fibre Channel and parallel SCSI use different models to address devices. The FibreBridge translates between these addressing models. The chart below is a simplified overview of data and control flow between the application and the SCSI device through a number of stages. all Fibre Channel devices.
Manual SCSI device route mapping Manual mapping allows you to maximize the efficiency of your SCSI devices while allowing greater flexibility. Using the CLI, you can ask the FibreBridge to find all the SCSI devices on its SCSI bus. With this information you then decide where you want to place these devices. Refer to Command Line Interface use and guidance on page 39.
3.1.2 Static device addressing Static device addressing presents internal devices and external SCSI devices as a Fibre Channel LUN to a host. All ports on the FibreBridge use the same Fibre Channel node name, but each port has a unique Fibre Channel port name. The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Fibre Channel and parallel SCSI use different models to address devices. The FibreBridge translates between these addressing models.
Exhibit 3.1-4 .NN=Node Name, PN=Port Name.
3.1.3 Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only The FibreBridge 2400 may be configured to take advantage of Logical Unit Addressing using the Command Line ASCII-based interface. In standard device mapping and formatting, as described in Static device addressing on page 71, target devices are only visible if you have mapped them specifically to Fibre Channel ports. You may use ATTO ExpressNAV to map devices as described in Mapping on page 67.

3.2 Optional configurations Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified for your needs using ATTO ExpressNAV. It is best practice to change the default username and password to a username and password significant to you. Change the default username, password Use ExpressNAV for all models except the FibreBridge 1180. Change defaults using the instructions in the ATTO BridgeTools manual for the FibreBridge 1180. 1 2 3 If you have not already, open an ExpressNAV session.
Read only password or username for the FB 2400 only You may set a read only password or a read only username. Refer to General use commands on page 37. 1 2 3 4 If you have not already, open an ExpressNAV session. For instructions, refer to Open an ExpressNAV session on page 19. Click Bridge. The Bridge Configuration page is displayed. The username that you are currently logged in with is displayed in the Username text box. Enter the Admin password in the first line of the boxed area.
4.0 Serverless backup support Serverless Backup is an application that allows data to be copied between two storage devices (Fibre Channel disks, SCSI disks and SCSI tapes) with minimal intervention from a server. Serverless backup is not available for the FibreBridge 2400. As the volume of data on a network grows, the resources required to back up this data also grow.
Exhibit 4.0-1 Once the server sends a command to the FibreBridge for extended copy, the FibreBridge manages the backup procedure, by-passing the server.
5.0 Updating firmware The ATTO FibreBridge has several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware to control these processors can be upgraded in the field using the WriteBuffer command over the in-band Fibre Channel connection (not available for the FibreBridge 2400), PUT command from an FTP connection, or ZModem utility over an RS-232 serial connection. Use the RS-232 option for the FibreBridge 1180. Use ATTO ExpressNAV for the FibreBridge 2400.
CAUTION Do not interrupt the flash process. Do not power down the host or the FibreBridge until the display returns the Ready prompt. Interrupting the flash process will make your FibreBridge inoperable and you will have to return it to ATTO Technology for repair. 10 Once the download is complete, cycle power on the FibreBridge to invoke the new firmware. Update firmware on the FibreBridge 2400 CAUTION Before beginning this procedure, ensure that all I/O to the FibreBridge has stopped.
Appendix A Mapping command examples AutoMap, RouteXxxx and AddressMap commands map devices so that they may be recognized by the FibreBridge. These commands are not available as described for the FibreBridge 2400. Refer to Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only on page 73. AutoMap AutoMap Distributes maps across all Fibre Channel ports. AutoMap [fp] Distributes maps across the named Fibre Channel port(s) The AutoMap command is unavailable in AddressMap C mode.
