Introduction 1 Introduction This manual contains information on the Fibre Channel Mass Storage Host Bus Adapter supported on HP e3000 Systems. Each supported adapter is identified along with general installation and troubleshooting instructions. The adapters in this manual are for Fibre Channel Mass Storage only.
Introduction About HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage About HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage is a high-speed connection for mass storage, capable of transmitting data faster than existing SCSI mass storage interconnects. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage networks are ideal for data-intensive applications, including data mining, atmospheric modeling, multimedia, geographic information systems, and medical imaging.
Introduction About HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage This fibre channel adapter card utilizes the Tachyon XL2 chip, the newest member of the Tachyon family product suite of Fibre Channel interface controllers. It operates at 2 Gigabits per second speed in a 4x PCI slot. It can be plugged into any of the system PCI Bus slots and will present one fibre channel port to the outside world.

Installation 2 Installation This chapter describes the installation procedures for the HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage host bus adapter on HP e3000 systems.
Installation Fibre Channel Installation Prerequisites Fibre Channel Installation Prerequisites Before installing the HP Fibre Channel host bus adapter into any system, check that the following hardware and software prerequisites have been met: 1. Verify the following product contents: • Grounding wrist strap • Fibre Channel driver software (included with MPE/iX OS) • Fibre Channel host bus adapter with an optical port protector attached (not included with all adapters). 2.
Installation Fibre Channel Installation Prerequisites Installation Guidelines Be sure that you have installed MPE/iX 7.5 or later version on your HP e3000 system before you install the adapter. If you intend to boot with this adapter, verify that the system is running MPE/iX 7.5 or later operating system and that the PDC firmware is the correct version. Installing the A6795A Adapter Step 1: Install the adapter in an available PCI slot.

Verifying Installation 3 Verifying Installation This chapter describes the procedures for configuring and verifying the installation of HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage host bus adapter on HP e3000 systems.
Verifying Installation Configuring Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter Configuring Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter As with other device adapter cards for HP e3000, fibre channel adapters can also be configured through the MPE/iX utility SYSGEN. Assume a Fibre Channel adapter card at path 0/8/0/0. Start by configuring the first path component System Bus Location equal to zero “0”. Then configure the Local Bus Number equal to eight “8”, PCI Device equal to zero “0”, and PCI Function equal to zero “0”.
Verifying Installation Configuring Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter The last component in the FC path represents an “FC LUN” while in a SCSI device path it would be a “SCSI LUN”. Although the FC LUN is functionally the same as a SCSI LUN, it is termed differently to signify that it can take on much larger values. Determining Fibre Channel Devices Connected to FC Adapter There is no way in the HP e3000 system firmware Main Menu to identify the FC devices connected to an FC adapter card.
Verifying Installation Configuring Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter — Path value for an FC device to be used in the system Boot Command Handler or firmware Main Menu to set that particular device as the primary path. The boot menu path is a detailed long format path unlike the simplified SYSGEN path. It is necessary to use this long path in boot menu because the system firmware can understand only this format to access devices.
Troubleshooting 4 Troubleshooting This chapter describes the troubleshooting tools available to help diagnose any problems you may experience with the adapters. It covers fibre channel adapter LEDs, online and offline diagnostic tools, and explains the diagnostic flowcharts in the latter part of this chapter.
Troubleshooting Introduction Introduction Troubleshooting Fibre Channel problems can be difficult because a variety of hardware and software components may be involved. Also, the problem affecting the system may originate in another part of the Fibre Channel mass storage interconnect. A systematic approach to troubleshooting is helpful. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Troubleshooting Introduction :tdutil 0/8/0/0 Vendor ID is = 0x00103c Device ID is = 0x001029 XL2 Chip Revision No is = 2.
Troubleshooting Introduction Auto Speed Negotiation The A6795A adapter is capable of transferring data at 1 Gb or 2 Gb per second. The adapter will automatically negotiate to find the highest speed that is common to the port and to the infrastructure connecting the port. To display the link speed along with other existing adapter information, use the command: : tdutil The current link speed is displayed as part of the output.
Troubleshooting HP Support Tools Manager (STM) under MPE/iX HP Support Tools Manager (STM) under MPE/iX This section describes how to use STM to gather information about the Fibre Channel adapters and diagnose problems. If you are not familiar with STM, check out the new STM MPE/iX Quick Reference Guide at the following URL: http://docs.hp.com/hpux/diag. Then select MPE/iX Diagnostics. Use the CSTM command to start STM in Command Line Mode. NOTE PUB:CSTM CSTM B8343AA.75.

Troubleshooting Diagnostic Flowcharts Diagnostic Flowcharts The diagnostic flowcharts provide the following tests: • Flowchart 1: Boot Test. Verifies that the system boots correctly over Fibre Channel. • Flowchart 2: Configuration Test. Verifies the configuration of the mass storage interface on a host using the FCSCAN utility. • Flowchart 3: Fibre Channel Connections Test.
Troubleshooting Diagnostic Flowcharts B. Is firmware version adequate? Check the firmware revision on your system for the minimum required date code for your adapter. If Yes, go to step D; if No, go to C. C. Update firmware. Update the firmware to the appropriate level. D. Is the Fibre Channel adapter installed correctly? If yes, go to 4. If no, go to step E. E. Is the Fibre Channel adapter properly seated? Shut down the HP e3000 system by entering: CTRL-A / shutdown.
Troubleshooting Diagnostic Flowcharts B. FC adapter displayed? FCSCAN shows FC adapters configured in the system. If the adapter is not displayed, go to C. If it is displayed, continue with G. C. Run IOCONFIG to verify if the required FC adapter is configured in the system. D. Is FC adapter configured? If not configured, go to E. If configured but FCSCAN still is not able to display it, go to F (Call HP Support Representative). E. Configure Adapter. Using IOCONFIG, configure the FC adapter in your system.
