Symmetrix Fibre Channel with Qlogic HBAs on UnixWare 7
Arbitrated Loop Configurations
Scanning for the
Symmetrix on an
HBA BIOS Level
Setup Checklist step 4
Before running SCO UnixWare 7, it is prudent to verify that
Symmetrix devices are seen on an HBA BIOS level. The QLA2200 has
a built in utility to verify connection to the Symmetrix port, and also
to verify an individual Symmetrix device.
To verify that the HBA can "see" the Symmetrix, use the Fibre Disk
utility to scan and verify disk media.
1. Under the Fast!UTIL Options menu, select FIBRE DISK
UTILITY.
This step assumes that you are already in Fast!Util. If you are not, boot
the host, and as soon as the QLA2200F banner (see Figure 1) appears,
press ALT-Q to display the Fast!Util Options menu.
2. You should see SYMMETRIX in a Fibre Channel device list of all
possible 125 targets, as shown below. (Page down if necessary to
display all targets in the list.)
• If
SYMMETRIX appears in the list, go to step 3.
• If
SYMMETRIX does not appear in the list, verify the following,
then start this procedure again at step 1:
✦ that the correct Symmetrix port is connected to the host
✦ that the Symmetrix is on line
✦ that the cables are not damaged
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight SYMMETRIX from the list of
targets, then press
ENTER.
4. A list of LUNs appears. Select any LUN from the list.
5. A Disk Utility Options menu appears. Select VERIFY DISK
MEDIA.
6. Select CONTINUE WITH VERIFY.
