1 Fibre Channel is a key technology for storage Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology designed to transfer large amounts of data between a variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is a key technology for applications that require shared, high bandwidth access to storage. Fibre Channel provides a logical point-to point serial channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a source device and a buffer at a destination device.
Term Definition LED Light-emitting diode, a type of diode that emits light when current passes through it. Visible LEDs are used as indicator lights on all sorts of electronic devices. LUN Logical Unit Number: a Fibre Channel identifier of a device N_port A port that connects a node to a fabric or to another node as in a point-to-point configuration.
2 ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D characteristics The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D is a 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel hub configured with eight (8) Fibre Channel ports and an ethernet management port. The FibreCenter 3400R/D is designed to integrate industry leading performance and Storage Area Network (SAN) capabilities into mid-range applications by providing a high-speed, central connection point for Fibre Channel connections.
Rack System provides a maximum port density of 16 SFP ports and redundant power and cooling in a full width 1U rack. The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R can be installed into the ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System with the FibreCenter facing the front or the back using the “L”-brackets and mounting holes provided on either end. The mounting holes on the “L”bracket fit a standard 19” rack, using a centered 1.25” (31.7 mm) hole pattern.
3 ATTO FibreCenter installation options The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D provides a 2-gigabit Fibre Channel rackmount or desktop hub with eight Fibre Channel ports configured via an Ethernet port. The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D hub integrates industry-leading performance and Storage Area Network capabilities into mid-range applications.
hub is 192.168.1.1. You can use a crossover Ethernet cable to direct connect a PC to the FibreCenter 3400D or a standard Ethernet cable to attach to a network device. 7 Change the IP address of the host computer to 192.168.1.X (where X does not equal 1). 8 Launch a Hyperterminal session. 9 From the menu bar at the top, select File New Connection 10 Enter a name for the connection. 11 Select TCP/IP as the connection method. 12 Enter the IP address of the FibreCenter (default is 192.168.1.
3.1 Setting up the Fibre Channel Rack System The ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System is a configurable 19” rack system with two bays to house the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R and two bays to house power modules. The 1U rackmount enclosure provides the flexibility to integrate the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R in pairs.
Output voltage: +12 Volts @ 5 Amps (60 watts) continuous, 5.8 amps (70 watts) peak. Power draw: The maximum power draw is 2 Amps @ 110 Volts for the entire ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System. The ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System with two power modules draws only 2 Amps @ 110 Volts. LED indicator The green LED indicator on the power module will light when the module is correctly installed, the switch is turned on, power is being drawn from this module and that power is available on the backplane.
3.2 Installing the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R fits into a standard rack mount module enclosure such as the ATTO FibreChannel Rack System. While configuration changes can be made “on the fly,” data transmission will be interrupted. To make changes without impacting data, make changes before activating the data transmission. To install the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R into the ATTO Fibre Channel Rack System: 6 Connect a host computer to the FibreCenter.
Cabling Fibre Channel ports The FibreCenter 3400R uses a Small Formfactor Pluggable (SFP) Fibre Channel interface. The type of cable to use varies depending upon the application, environment and distance. The Cable length following table illustrates the different cable options available. Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both ends with the proper connectors. Cable type Cable size Connector up to 175 meters multimode fiber optic 62.
3.3 Installing the ATTO FibreCenter 3400D The ATTO FibreCenter 3400D is a stand alone desktop model which may be mounted into a standard rack. While configuration changes can be made “on the fly,” data transmission will be interrupted. To make changes without impacting data, make changes before activating the data transmission. •Be aware of the cable limitations as listed in the chart on the next page.

3.4 Configuring the ATTO FibreCenter The ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D may be configured into 48 combinations of zones. If configured into more than two zones, each Fibre Channel bus can run at different speeds. Configuration is managed through the Ethernet port. The ATTO Fibre Center 3400R/D Fibre Channel ports connect into an Arbitrated Loop. When devices connected to the hub are powered up, each NL_Port must sign in with the other ports on the loop. Each port first attempts to find an FL_Port within the loop.
3 the last mapping designated by the Set zone and Commit Zone commands. Example: set up one zone 1 2 3 At the Command Line Interface prompt, type set zone map 1:all to configure all the ports on the hub to one zone with default settings. Type get zone info. The screen will display the current parameters and the parameters which will take effect at the next Commit Zone command (new parameters). Type Commit Zone for the mapping to take effect.
4 Command Line Interface use and guidance You will be able to perform all configuration via the telnet interface through the Ethernet port using Command Line Interface (CLI) commands. To configure the ATTO FibreCenter you will access the Command Line Interface (CLI), a set of ASCII commands, through a telnet session. Ports are labeled 1 through 8. Zones are listed as 1 through 4. CLI command conventions ❈CLI commands are case insensitive: you may type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Exhibit 4-5 Command conventions. Do not type symbols when entering commands.
4.1 General use commands Several commands may be invoked at any time. Commit Zone Commit all previous zone configuration commands since the most recent Commit Zone command. The Commit Zone command first turns off all ports within the configured zone, waits for the amount time designed in Switch Delay command (default is 20 microseconds), then implements the command. Actions: Commit Zone Information: none Help Displays a list of available commands.
4.2 Ethernet and Telnet configuration commands Configure the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D using a telnet session over the Ethernet port. The commands in this section configure or provide information about the Ethernet port and the Telnet session. Default Router Sets a new default router address for the telnet server. Set the default router within the subnet as defined by the subnet mask and IP Address. Limit: 0-255 Default: 0.0.0.0 Action: set Default Router[n.n.n.
4.3 Configuration commands Configure the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D using a telnet session over the Ethernet port. The commands in this section configure or provide information about the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D. Exhibit shows a typical command sequence. Commit Zone Commits all previous Set zone commands since the most recent Commit Zone command.
Zone Restore Sets the new parameters for each port in the zonelist to the current setting Actions: set Zone Restore Information: none Zone Speed Sets (fixes) the data rate for each zone in the hub. Auto negotiation, the default, means the devices attached to the zone determine the rate, with the slowest device controlling the rate. You may use this command to fix the rate at 1Gb or 2Gb.
4.4 Diagnostic commands The commands in this section only provide information about the ATTO FibreCenter 3400R/D. Access this information using these command line interface commands in a telnet session over the Ethernet port. Status Displays the status of the power supplies and the cooling fans.
5 Troubleshooting The fault LED indicates that a signal is being received, but the signal contains enough faults to make the port fail and go into bypass mode. Port LEDs on the ATTO FibreCenter are generally lighted if the port is enabled and an active device is connected to the port.
6 Updating firmware The Linux Kernel and the Flash File System may be updated by accessing the FibreCenter 3400R/D through an Ethernet network using Telnet or an additional graphical user interface program. A graphical user interface may be installed on a host computer to update the FibreCenter 3400R/D firmware. You must have Java™ installed on the host computer which you can download from java.sun.com/getjava. 1 Attach the FibreCenter 3400R/D to an Ethernet network.
