Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

Chapter 1

Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation

1. To verify the adapter installation, enter the command:

# ioscan -f

2. Verify that the following drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the

next section, Verifying Connectivity.

The ioscan output might look like the following. The third column represents the hardware path of the

slot in which the adapter is installed. This path will be different for each installed adapter port.

3. If the ioscan output is similar to the following:

fc 1/10/0/0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN

HP-UX detected the adapter, but the drivers are not properly loaded.

4. If the correct driver is installed and the adapter is not listed in the ioscan output, contact HP for

assistance.

Verifying Connectivity

Once your HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage software and hardware is installed and running, enter the

following commands to verify mass storage hardware and software installation.

1. Check the state of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces. Enter the ioscan command and verify that

the S/W State of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces is CLAIMED.

If the Fibre Channel device file has not been created, enter the following commands:

ioscan -f

insf -e

2. Verify that all devices you attached to the Fibre Channel adapter are listed in the ioscan output. For

example, if you have a direct attach Fibre Channel device attached to the system, the ioscan output

might look like the following:

8/12.8.0.255.0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE DGC C3400WDR5

The example above is the hardware path of LUN0 of a directly attached Fibre Channel Mass Storage

device with Loop ID of 1. For details on interpreting hardware paths for Fibre Channel devices, see

Interpreting Legacy Hardware Paths (HP-UX 11i v1 and 11i v2) or Interpreting Lunpath Hardware Paths

(HP-UX 11i v3).
