Operating the Fibre Bridge Powering on the System Powering on the System The HP SureStore Fibre Channel SCSI Bridge 2100 ER is configured for most Fibre Channel installations without intervention. The basic configuration uses one Fibre Bridge connected directly to a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) within a host computer. In expanded configurations (DLT libraries only), the Fibre Bridge may be connected to either a Fibre Channel HBA or a Fibre Channel hub.
Operating the Fibre Bridge Powering on the System Figure 3-1 Fibre Bridge, Back View 3-4 Chapter 3
Operating the Fibre Bridge Changing the Default Settings Changing the Default Settings The basic Fibre Bridge configuration assumes there is only one Fibre Bridge included in the system. If this is a DLT installation and more than one Fibre bridge will be installed, or if there is another Fibre Channel device using the same address, you must change the fibre channel address, using the serial port of the Fibre Bridge. Connecting the Serial Cable • The default configuration must be changed.

Fibre Channel Overview A Fibre Channel Overview A-1
Fibre Channel Overview Overview Overview In this appendix, we will describe the following: • Defining Fibre Channel • Implementing Fibre Channel • Working With Fibre Channel • Problems with Fibre Channel A-2 Appendix A
Fibre Channel Overview Defining Fibre Channel Defining Fibre Channel This overview of Fibre Channel is intended to briefly explain the technology, its potential uses, and possible problems that a user should consider. Individuals requiring more information should consider additional publications, seminars, and Fibre Channel user groups. Fibre Channel is an information transport protocol that can be used to send information between computers and computer sub-systems.
Fibre Channel Overview Defining Fibre Channel A fully implemented Fabric system supports over 16 million device addresses, allowing a user to send data from each device at 100 MB per second. Using fiber optic cable, Fibre Channel devices can be spaced at maximum intervals of 10 km, supporting distributed hosts in a campus environment, with centralized storage systems.
Fibre Channel Overview Implementing Fibre Channel Implementing Fibre Channel Whether designing a new system or enhancing a system that is in place, Fibre Channel offers significant speed and distance and cost advantages. Fibre Channel works with existing systems and software, with the addition of a Fibre Channel HBA; new systems are not required to take advantage of Fibre Channel technology.
Fibre Channel Overview Working With Fibre Channel Working With Fibre Channel Fibre Channel is a transport protocol. Differing from protocols such as SCSI, Fibre Channel does not use data manipulation commands. An addressing scheme with advance handshaking requirements verifies that data was transferred correctly. Fibre Channel specifications are divided into multi-layered, functional levels.
Fibre Channel Overview Working With Fibre Channel The Fibre Channel protocol will work when devices are connected or disconnected while data is being transferred because of this additional information. Error detection and recovery at all levels of the protocol are also provided. A fairness algorithm is built into the FCAL protocol so that all devices have equal access to the system.
Fibre Channel Overview Working With Fibre Channel Fibre Channel devices may use either of two modes: soft or hard addressing. Hard addressing is similar to the existing SCSI approach. Fibre Channel devices can only use the assigned address. If that address is already being used by another device, the Fibre Channel device will not respond to any bus activity. Soft addressing is similar to LAN addressing, where the system determines device addresses.
Fibre Channel Overview Problems with Fibre Channel Problems with Fibre Channel Fibre Channel accommodates many protocols and physical interfaces. Problems result in the attempt to do many things with one solution. Awareness of the potential problems helps users create and maintain reliable systems.
Fibre Channel Overview Problems with Fibre Channel Additional optical cable considerations are as follows: • Cable between two nodes must use the same core size. NOTE The limitation on mixing core sizes applies only to cable between two nodes and is only a concern when splicing or connecting optical cables directly together. Different size optical cable can be used in the same Fabric between different sets of nodes. • Three core sizes supported by Fibre Channel are: 62.5 micron, 50 micron, and 9 micron.
Fibre Channel Overview Problems with Fibre Channel Laser Power Control Systems There are two types of systems approved for use: OFC and non-OFC. These two types of control systems can exist on the same network, but are not optically compatible and cannot be hooked up to the same optical cable. Device Addressing The two modes of addressing used in Fibre Channel, included on page A-7, are hard and soft addressing. In small, controlled environments, hard addressing works well.
