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).
Troubleshooting and Maintenance HP Support Tools Manager HP Support Tools Manager This section describes how to use HP Support Tools Manager (STM) to gather information about the Fibre Channel adapters, diagnose problems, and update firmware. STM runs in three modes: • Menu Mode Use the mstm command to start STM in Menu Mode. • X Windows environment Use the xstm & command to start STM in X Windows. • Command Line Mode Use the cstm command to start STM in Command Line Mode.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance HP Support Tools Manager ----------------------------------------------------------Severity Level: Error 1Bolt Value: 88417 Error 17: The Fibre Channel Driver received a LINK DOWN interrupt.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Event Monitoring Service Event Monitoring Service Event Monitoring Service (EMS) notifies you when an event occurs on the system. A hardware event monitor monitors the hardware for unusual behavior (known as an event) and sends a message to the EMS, which notifies you of the event and provides suggestions for correcting the problem. This service is available for all of the Fibre Channel host bus adapters.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Event Monitoring Service Procedure Step 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. Enter the following command to see if STM is installed on your system: /usr/sbin/cstm The message --Information-- Support Tools Manager should appear on your screen, indicating that STM is installed on your system. b. If this does not appear, STM needs to be installed.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE) Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE) All HP Fibre Channel adapters support the HP Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE). ODE is an offline support tools platform for troubleshooting HP/9000 and HP Integrity systems running without an operating system, or systems that cannot be tested using online tools. The offline environment is also useful for testing before a system is booted.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Diagnostic Flowcharts Diagnostic Flowcharts The diagnostic flowcharts illustrate the following tests: Flowchart 1: Configuration Test Verifies the configuration of the mass storage interface on a host using the ioscan (1M) command.

Is the system firmware version adequate? Check the system firmware version on your system for the minimum required date code for your adapter.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Firmware Updates Firmware Updates This section explains the process for updating the firmware of your Fibre Channel host bus adapter. Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Online Firmware Updates The Fibre Channel host bus adapters that use the FCD driver can be updated while the system is online by using the rom_fw_update option of the fcmsutil command.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Firmware Updates Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters Offline Driver and Firmware Updates The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is an Itanium-based preboot environment used to update the EFI driver and firmware on the adapter. EFI can be used in either command-line interface mode or batch mode. The following example demonstrates the use of the efiutil command-line interface stored on a CD to update an EFI driver: 1. From the EFI prompt, enter the map -r command. 2.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance Fibre Channel Device Scanning Policy Configuration for HP Integrity Systems Fibre Channel Device Scanning Policy Configuration for HP Integrity Systems The drvcfg utility is an EFI shell command that can be used to set the Device Scanning Policy in the Fibre Channel EFI driver. The -s option for the drvcfg utility provides two enumeration policy options for Fibre Channel: 0 and 1.
