Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

To verify that your Fibre Channel Adapter has been correctly installed, follow these steps:

Step 1. Enter the following command:

ioscan -f

Step 2. Verify that the correct drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the

next section, “Verifying Connectivity” on page 29.

Sample ioscan output:

fc 0 0/0/2/1/0 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60001 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre

Channel Adapter (FC Port 1)

/dev/fcd0

fc 1 0/0/2/1/1 fcd CLAIMED INTERFACE HP AB379-60001 4Gb Dual Port PCI/PCI-X Fibre

Channel Adapter (FC Port 2)

/dev/fcd1

/dev/dsk/c2t0d3 /dev/rdsk/c2t0d3

NOTE The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is

installed. The hardware path is different for each installed adapter.

If an installed Fibre Channel adapter requires the fcd driver and the appropriate driver does not

appear as shown above, the driver is not installed.

If the ioscan output is similar to the following:

fc 0/0/2/1/0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN

HP-UX detected the adapter, but the drivers are not properly loaded.

If the correct driver is installed, but the adapter does not show in the ioscan output, the driver is

not recognizing the adapter.

Step 3. If the ioscan output indicates a problem, contact HP for assistance.
