1 Adapter Overview HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Overview NOTE: For the latest copy of this document and related HP Fibre Channel documentation: 1. Go to http://www.docs.hp.com 2. In the “Internet & Networking” category, select “I/O Cards and Networking Software”. 3. Select “Fibre Channel”. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage is a high-speed connection for mass storage. It transmits data faster than existing SCSI mass storage interconnects.
2 Fibre Channel Adapter Installation Prerequisites Before installing the adapter, follow these steps: 1. 2. Verify compliance with supported configurations using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Fibre%20Channel Determine if the adapter is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix. If the adapter is not a CRU, contact your HP representative for installation assistance.

When the Status field indicates Ready, the Confirmation window opens. 10. 11. 12. 13. Click OK. A second Confirmation window opens. Click OK again. The Install window opens. Click Done. The Note window opens. Click OK in the Note window to reboot. The user interface disappears and the system reboots.
OnlineDiag is also available from the HP Support PLUS CD for HP 9000 systems or the IPFxxxx CD for Itanium systems. Installation instructions are available at: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/ onlinedocs/diag/st/st_inst.htm Install all driver software and dependent patches before you install the adapter. For more information, see FibrChanl-01 (fcd) Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver for HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes available at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.
Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation To verify that your Fibre Channel Adapter has been correctly installed, follow these steps: 1. Enter the following command: ioscan -f 2. Verify that the correct drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the next section, “Verifying Connectivity” (page 15).
Interpreting Hardware Paths Example 2-1, Example 2-2 and Example 2-3 illustrate the Fibre Channel hardware path format: Example 2-1 Hardware Path for a Public Loop Device Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN 0/1/2/0.1.19.255.15.4.0 Example 2-2 Hardware Path for a Direct Fabric Attach Device Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN 0/1/2/0.1.19.255.0.0.0 Example 2-3 Hardware Path for a Private Loop Device Adapter Domain Area Port Bus Target LUN 0/1/2/0.8.0.255.0.1.
Table 2-4 Hardware Path Field Descriptions (continued) Fibre Channel Topology of HBA Field Bus Target Value Fabric Topologies Private Loop Depends on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA and the target device, and on the LUN addressing method used. For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the upper 4 bits of the least significant byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
3 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Introduction Troubleshooting Fibre Channel problems can involve a variety of hardware and software components. A problem affecting the system may originate in another part of the Fibre Channel Mass Storage interconnect. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your HP representative.

fcmsutil with dual port adapters, each port is accessed and configured independently through the appropriate device driver. CAUTION: The fcmsutil command is a powerful diagnostic tool that can cause problems if used incorrectly. Read and understand the manpage carefully before using fcmsutil. The primary fcmsutil options for system administrators are: • • • • echo test reset get For detailed information on this utility and its options, see the fcmsutil manpage.
You cannot use all fcmsutil options with all the adapters. In the manpage for fcmsutil, (QL) follows the options that can be used with the FibreChannel port of the A6826A, A9782A, A9784A, AB378A, AB379A, and AB465A adapters. Options without the (QL) indicator can be used with all adapters. You can use the echo, test, reset, and get options with fcmsutil. Use other fcmsutil options only at the request of your HP support representative.

When the fcd driver discovers a new target device, it creates a hardware path for that device based on the N_Port ID. The N_Port ID is the Fibre Channel address for a device, and a way of identifying the device in a Storage Area Network (SAN). The fcd driver will also associate a device’s World Wide Name (WWN) with its N_Port ID.

NOTE: STM also includes a Firmware Update tool. This tool cannot be used to update the firmware on Fibre Channel adapters. The rom_fw_update option within the fcmsutil command can be used to update the firmware on A6826A, A9782A, A9784A, AB465A, AB378A, AB378B, AB379A, AB379B, and AD300A adapters. Event Monitoring Service Event Monitoring Service (EMS) notifies you when an event occurs on the system.
• • Support Plus Media CD If you are using ServiceGuard (optional), check for the correct version you must have for HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2 or later HP-UX operating system versions Procedure 1. Install the Support Tools Manager (STM) from the latest Support Plus Media CD. The EMS hardware monitors automatically install when you install STM. a.

Flowchart 1: Configuration Test Procedures The sections below provide additional detail on the procedures listed in Flowchart 1. A. Enter the ioscan command to display information about attached peripherals that are successfully bound to the system; for example, enter /etc/ioscan-f. For more information, see the ioscan manpage. B. HP adapter displayed? The ioscan output displays information about every peripheral adapter in the system backplane. C.
Fibre Channel Connections Test Figure 3-2 Flowchart 2: Fibre Channel Connections Test Diagnostic Flowcharts 31
Flowchart 2 Connections Test Procedures The sections below provide additional detail on the procedures listed in Flowchart 2. A. Verify that the Fibre Channel adapter is properly seated. Shut down the system by entering /usr/sbin/shutdown -h. Power off the system and disconnect the cables. Check that the adapter is properly seated in the backplane. To verify that it is seated correctly, power on the system. B. Adapter problem, call HP. Contact your HP service representative for assistance. C.
Flowchart 3: Boot Test Procedures The sections below provide additional detail on the procedures listed in Flowchart 3. A. Is the system bootable over the Fibre Channel adapter? Only certain systems can boot over the Fibre Channel adapter. If your system cannot do this, you must boot from a SCSI device. B. Is the system firmware version adequate? Check the system firmware version on your system for the minimum required date code for your adapter. If Yes, go to step D; if No, go to step C. C.
Mfd. Date Check Sum EFI version ROM Firmware verision Asset Tag : : : : : "4306" 0x52 "001.00" "03.02.07" "NA" This operation may take upto 30 secs to complete... ROM has been updated successfully. The new firmware and the VPD updation will take effect only after the the system has been rebooted.
NOTE: When the setboot command is invoked on a device, that device is added implicitly to the boot order list as a primary or alternate boot path. When HP-UX is cold installed on a device, that device is automatically set as the primary path by the implicit invocation of setboot during the installation process. For more information on using the drvcfg utility, enter help drvcfg at the EFI shell prompt.
