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.
Combination Cards
The Fibre Channel component of the HP AD193A, AD194A, A9782A, A9784A, and AB465A Fibre
Channel-Ethernet combination cards use the same driver (FibrChanl-01) as the HP A6826A Fibre
Channel adapter. The information that pertains to the A6826A Fibre Channel adapter also applies
to the Fibre Channel component of the A9782A and A9784A Fibre Channel-Ethernet combination
cards.
For additional information on HP Fibre Channel-Ethernet combination cards, see the Combination
Card documentation at: http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html#Combination%20Cards
