FCSCAN — Fibre Channel Device Scan Utility

FCSCAN is a new utility introduced in MPE/iX Release 7.5 to scan and print Fibre Channel Devices

connected to the HPe3000 system. This utility can be used by MPE/iX System Administrators to know what

FC devices are available in the system for configuring through SYSGEN.

FCSCAN utility is present in the system as FCSCAN.PUB.SYS and can be invoked from the MPE/iX CI prompt

as:

:fcscan

The complete usage format of the utility with its allowed options is shown below.

Usage:

:fcscan [ - n h ]

default: Show FC devices available for configuration

-n: Show only FC N-Ports

-h: Do a hardware scan and show configurable FC devices

The utility can be invoked by default without any options. It can also be invoked with “-n” option or with “-h”

option or specifying both options together as “-nh”. Depending on the option used, the output format of the

utility varies. These are covered in detail in the following sections.

FCSCAN Default Output

The default output format of FCSCAN when invoked without any options is to print the list of FC adapter

cards and devices present in the system, which can be configured in SYSGEN. The hardware path formats

printed can be directly used in SYSGEN to configure the corresponding device.

:fcscan

FCSCAN has found the following Fibre Channel I/O Adapter Cards and Devices on this system.
