1 Introduction The HP StorageWorks e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card provides bi-directional connectivity between one Fibre Channel Switched Fabric (FC-SW) or Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL), and two Narrow/Wide Fast/Ultra320 LVD/SE SCSI buses. Supported devices include: • Initiator Devices – Fibre Channel hosts • Target Devices – Tape drives Figure 1 shows the layout of the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card.
Operation indicators The HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card has LED indicators for monitoring overall status as shown in Figure 2.
How the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card works The interface card is a device that translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from the SCSI Protocol—transparently transferring commands, data, and status information—so that both the Fibre Channel (FC) and SCSI devices and hosts can communicate with each other. Interconnection is provided between two SCSI buses and one Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop or Switched Fabric, making use of Fibre Channel’s ability to encapsulate SCSI protocol packets.
External indicators • Fibre Channel link status and activity LEDs • SCSI bus activity LEDs • Ethernet link status and activity LEDs • Power/Fault LED • Beacon LED Operating environment • 0 to 50°C, 32 to 122°F • 5 to 80% relative humidity (non-condensing) Non-operating environment (i.e.
2 Installation, cabling, and setup This chapter describes installing, cabling, and setup for the HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card. NOTE: Read this chapter carefully and completely before working with the interface card. Installing the HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card Before you begin, clear a work surface near the library to unpack the interface card. Keep the card in the static-sensitive bag until you are ready to install it.
Removal and installation NOTE: To avoid damage to the library, ensure cards are installed in the correct option slots. If you are installing one card, place it in the middle slot next to the controller board. If you are installing two cards in a 10U library, place the second card in the center slot on the bottom level of the library. Before removing an existing card or installing a new card, do the following: 1.
4. Remove the cables from the robotics controller (see Figure 5). Figure 5 Removing cables from the robotics controller Removing an existing interface card If you are replacing a card that is already installed in the library, save the configuration settings using the FTP user interface: ftp -> login -> bin -> get *.cfg .cfg. See ”Using the FTP interface” on page 89. To remove the interface card: 1. From the back of the library, locate the card to be removed (see Figure 6). 2.
Installing a new card NOTE: To avoid damage to the library, make sure cards are installed in the correct slots. To install one card, place it in the top level middle slot as shown in Figure 7. To install two cards, place the second card in the bottom level middle slot as also shown in Figure 7. 1. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the center option slot cover plate (see Figure 7). Figure 7 Option slots in a 10U library 2.
3. Using the #1 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the captive screws in both of the black ejector handles as shown in Figure 9.
4. Cable the library as shown in Figure 10 for a 5U library, or Figure 11 for a 10U library.
5. Connect each power cord. Turn on the master power switch for each power supply (see Figure 12). Figure 12 Power supply and power cord 6. Turn the library on by pressing the Power button on the GUI control panel (see Figure 3 on page 14).
Interfaces and connections There are four types of interfaces to the interface card: • Fibre Channel • SCSI • 3-pin serial port • Ethernet The 3-pin serial and Ethernet ports are used for configuration and management of the interface card. For convenience in configuring ports, key information is indicated on a label located on the face of the interface card such as WWN name, WWP name, and Ethernet MAC ID (Physical Address).
To connect the interface card to a SCSI bus: 1. Power off the SCSI devices on this bus. 2. Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the unit. The interface card should always be installed at the end of the SCSI bus. 3. Make sure that the bus is terminated correctly. By default, the interface card is automatically terminated. However, the device at the other end of bus must also be terminated. Ethernet connection A 10/100BaseT Ethernet connection provides management and configuration access.
Setting up serial port communications Before supplying power to the interface card, HP recommends setting up serial port communications with your host computer, unless serial I/O was previously established and is currently running. The interface card is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing a terminal emulator. For example, most Windows® operating systems can use a terminal. Be sure the baud rate, data bits, stop bits, parity, and flow control are set correctly.
3 Device management To provide connectivity between hosts and devices, it is necessary for the interface card to be recognized with an address on the connected Fibre Channel network. SCSI bus configuration The interface card provides the capability to reset SCSI buses during the interface card boot cycle. This allows the devices on a SCSI bus to be set to a known state. Configuration provides for the SCSI bus reset feature to be enabled or disabled.
Discovery Discovery is a feature that makes it easy to display attached FC and SCSI target devices and have them mapped automatically on the host side for the connected bus/port. There are two discovery methods available—Manual Discovery and Auto Discovery. Auto Discovery can be set to occur after either reboot events (when the card reboots) or link-up events (for instance, when cables are attached or a hub is rebooted).
The Auto Assigned map is built dynamically, and contains all the devices found during discovery. This map changes automatically any time the discovery process finds a change in the devices attached to the interface card. This map can be displayed, but cannot be modified directly by the user. The SCC map is only available on the FC port and contains a single entry. LUN 0 is an interface card LUN, and access to devices behind the controller is handled by using SCC logical unit addressing.
Device management
4 Interface card management The HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card can be managed over the following user interfaces: • Over the serial port via a terminal or a terminal emulation utility. • Over Ethernet via a Telnet utility or an HTTP-based interface called Visual Manager. Additionally, FTP support provides additional management functionality. Before attempting to configure the interface card, a basic understanding of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices is recommended.
to always provide the same IP address to the interface card. This setup can be useful for remote management of the interface card via Telnet. Because the method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the DHCP server being used, HP recommends that you contact your Network Administrator for assistance. For more information about enabling DHCP on the interface card, see ”Enabling DHCP on the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card” on page 117.
Other than dynamic mapping changes, any other changes will not take effect until the next time the interface card reboots. You can force the interface card to reboot by selecting the Reboot option. For more information about the Visual Manager interface, refer to ”Visual manager access” on page 31. NOTE: For the VM interface’s dynamic display of the interface card configuration to be presented properly, use version 6.2 or later of Netscape’s browser on non-Solaris platforms, or Netscape version 6.2.
Interface card management
5 Visual manager user interface The HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card allows any standard Internet Web browser to view and change the interface card’s configuration with the Visual Manager interface. Information is dynamically generated in an HTML format by the interface card so that Web browsers can access it. To access Visual Manager, enter the IP address of the interface card into the address field of a Web browser.
5. Enter the authorized user name and password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The default user name is root and the default password is password. Figure 13 Password dialog box NOTE: HP recommends changing the user name and password from the defaults. NOTE: To end the current session of VM, the browser window must be closed. Navigating the browser to another URL does not end the current session.
Home page The Main menu home page is displayed when Visual Manager (VM) is accessed. The home page contains status information, including a physical image of the interface card (see Figure 15). Figure 15 Visual Manager Home page Home page information includes: • The HP logo is located in the upper left corner of the Home page (see Figure 15). If the Internet is accessible to the host, click the HP logo to open the web site. • An illustration of the interface card is located near the top of the home page.
• Main menu options: • Home displays interface card status information. • System configures standard system components. • Ports configures the Fibre Channel port and SCSI buses. • Discovery displays devices and discovers new devices. • Mapping displays and configures maps. • Statistics displays interface card statistics. • Utilities configures utility settings. • Report displays system information. • Reboot restarts the interface card.
Serial configuration The Serial screen is used to change the baud rate for the serial port (see Figure 18). NOTE: If the Autobaud feature is being used, it may not be necessary to set the baud rate. Figure 18 Serial screen The current baud-rate setting is displayed. Baud rate choices are: • 9600 • 19200 • 38400 • 57600 • 115200 NOTE: HP recommends setting the baud rate to 115200.
Network configuration The Network screen is used to enter Ethernet configuration settings (see Figure 19). Figure 19 Network screen CAUTION: If this configuration is incorrectly set, processing difficulties may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the interface card configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.
NOTE: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network. If the DHCP feature is used when there is not DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires the interface card wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out. Some DHCP servers allow an extended lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server always provides the same IP address to the interface card.
User The User screen is used to set up interface card security (see Figure 21). Figure 21 User screen: security settings User settings: • User Name (default: root) is any alphanumeric combination. Passwords must be 8 to 11 characters in length. • Password (default: password) is any alphanumeric combination. • Confirm Password The user name and password should be unique and kept confidential. HP recommends using a combination of letters and numbers when creating the user name and password.
Real-Time Clock configuration The Real-Time Clock screen is used to set the system time and date (see Figure 22). Figure 22 Real-Time Clock screen Date/time settings: • Date Settings sets the month, day, and year (use a four-digit number to represent the year) • Day of Week sets the day of the week. • Time Settings sets the hours, minutes, and seconds. The system clock is a 24-hour clock. There is no a.m. or p.m. designation. Example 1:00 p.m. is 13 hours, 00 minutes.
Reset menu The Reset menu is used to reset the interface card to factory default settings (see Figure 23). Figure 23 Reset to Factory Default screen Current interface card activities are disrupted while the unit resets the configuration to the factory defaults and saves those options to FLASH memory. CAUTION: changes. Resetting the interface card configuration to the factory defaults deletes custom maps or map NOTE: Resetting to factory defaults through VM does not affect Ethernet connectivity.
Ports menu Accessed from the Main menu, the Ports menu is used to view and to modify configuration settings of the Fibre Channel port and SCSI buses (see Figure 24). Figure 24 Ports menu The initial screen display of the Ports menu includes summary information about each Fibre Channel port and SCSI bus in the interface card. Ports menu tasks: • Fibre Channel Port 0 configuration changes the Fibre Channel port settings. • SCSI Bus 0, 1 configuration changes SCSI bus settings.
Fibre Channel port configuration When the Fibre Channel port is selected in Ports menu, the Fibre Channel Configuration screen is displayed (see Figure 25). Figure 25 Fibre Channel port 0 configuration settings screen Fibre Channel port settings: • Link Status indicates the port link status. • Port Mode (default: N_Port) sets the port mode. Port Mode settings: • Auto Sense: In this mode, the Fibre Channel port tries to negotiate as a loop.
• Both the ports and the devices behind the ports are discovered for the first link-up event. Subsequent link-up events only discover the ports and not the devices behind the ports. • Manual Discovery Only (default) sets discovery of new devices to occur only after the user selects the Discovery option from the Main menu or when a Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) is received from a fabric. • Buffered Tape Writes (default: enabled) enables or disables the Buffered Tape Write option.
SCSI bus configuration settings: • Primary Initiator ID (default: 7) must be a unique ID. • Discovery toggles between Enabled and Disabled, Enabled by default. • Bus Reset on Boot toggles between Enabled and Disabled. When enabled, the interface card automatically resets SCSI buses during a power-up or reboot of the library. • Discovery Delay is the wait time after a power-up or reboot before discovering SCSI devices.
2. Select Go.
Mapping menu Accessed from the Main menu, the Mapping menu is used to create or edit LUN maps and assign them to hosts. (see Figure 30). Figure 30 Fibre Channel port 0 map settings NOTE: Indexed, Auto Assigned, and SCC maps cannot be deleted or renamed. NOTE: SCC and Auto-Assigned maps cannot be cloned.
Viewing and changing Fibre Channel map information NOTE: Port 0 Device Map is the HP recommended map to be used for editing and assigning oncoming hosts. The Indexed (default) map should not be used for editing, even though the user is able to edit this map. To view or change current Fibre Channel map information: 1. In the Mapping menu screen, select the desired map. 2. Select Edit/View in the Map section of the screen. The Fibre Channel Map dialog box is displayed.
Statistics menu Accessed from the Main menu, the Statistics menu is used to display Fibre Channel port and SCSI bus information (see Figure 31).

FTP utility access The FTP utility screen is used to open an FTP session (see Figure 33). Figure 33 FTP Utility screen The FTP utility requires the use of a JAVA applet and prompts for permission to install the applet, if needed. If the prompt is displayed, follow the on screen instructions to complete the installation. The FTP utility then prompts for permission to run the applet.
NOTE: If a valid firmware or configuration file is uploaded to the interface card, an automatic reboot occurs once the file has been received. The interface card cannot be accessed from the Visual Manager UI during the time that the reboot is in process, which is approximately 30 seconds. Trace settings configuration This menu allows the configuration of Trace Settings (see Figure 34).
Table 6 Trace Settings Setting Description INBAND Controller management functionality is monitored and recorded Queue Element Debugging capability for specific interface card resources Current, previous, and last assert trace displays These three Utilities menu screens show trace information. • The Current Traces screen shows data since the interface card was last booted. • The Previous Traces screen shows data from the last boot cycle.
• Warning Events • Notify Events • Info Events • Debug Events • Log All Events Event logging captures the last 215 events and then starts overwriting the log. NOTE: To correlate event logging, correctly set the clock and date in the Real-Time Clock configuration menu. Event log display The Event Log screen is used to view the Event Log (see Figure 36).
Clear event log The Clear Event Log screen is used to clear the Event Log (see Figure 37). Current interface card activities are not disrupted. Figure 37 Clear event log screen SCSI command tracking This menu provides options for setting up and logging SCSI commands that are received or transmitted by the interface card. Results are displayed in the Host/Device ID Table (see Figure 38).
While the interface card’s current, previous, and last assert trace data does provide a complete summary of events in a chronological fashion, SCSI Command Tracking adds the ability to filter the trace data to show only the information related to the processing of specific SCSI commands. • SCSI Command Tracking can be toggled to ON or OFF. When toggled ON and submitted, all SCSI commands received or transmitted to or from the interface card are then logged in the SCSI Commands section shown on this screen.
Reboot option CAUTION: Confirm there is no activity, such as a backup in progress, before initiating a reboot because interface card activities will be disrupted. Interface card reboots are executed using this Main menu option (see Figure 39). When the library is rebooted, current interface card activities are disrupted. All submitted configuration changes are activated during the boot-up process. Figure 39 Reboot screen The system automatically returns to the home page after the reboot has completed.

• Select 7 to toggle the DHCP setting. This setting enables/disables support for Dynamic Configuration Protocol. The default setting is enabled. When enabled, the interface card retrieves a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server located on the Ethernet network that the interface card is connected to. If DHCP is disabled and then enabled, it is necessary to save the current configuration and reboot the interface card before an IP address can be requested from the DHCP server. Use the following four steps: a.
Fibre Channel configuration This menu allows for setting the Fibre Channel Address method, Hard Address value, discovery mode, WWN overrides, tape backup settings, default map value, and FC port mode. Figure 44 Fibre Channel configuration menu Fibre Channel Configuration Menu X.XX.
• Select 3 to change the Toggle Port Mode between Auto Sense - Soft AL_PA, N_Port, and Auto Sense Hard AL_PA. The default setting is N_Port mode. In this mode, the FC port tries coming up as a fabric port. If the interface card is on a loop and N_Port mode is selected, an error in communication may occur. In Autosense - Soft AL_PA mode, the interface card FC port tries to come up as a loop, and if not successful, then tries to come up as a fabric.
Following are descriptions for each of the override settings: NOTE: Normally, override settings should not be changed except when directed to do so by an authorized HP technician. • Select 1 to toggle the Hi-Sup Bit between SET and CLEAR. The default setting is CLEAR. This option should be toggled to SET when the server uses the Hi-Sup bit to scan for FC LUNs greater than eight. NOTE: Hi-Sup Bit is only set in an Active Fabric LUN which needs to be mapped as the first device (FC LUN 00).
Parallel SCSI configuration This menu allows for setting up SCSI attributes. Figure 45 Parallel SCSI configuration menu Parallel SCSI Configuration Menu X.XX.
SCSI initiator menu This option allows for setting up the SCSI Initiator.

8 Troubleshooting Various problems can arise when configuring and using the HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card. This section is provided to help guide the user through some of the basic methods of identifying faults in the setup and configuration of the unit. Most problems are found in the initial installation. In general, it is wise to check all connections and review the configuration before proceeding with further trouble analysis.
• Ethernet (10/100)—When lit, these green indicators signify Ethernet link status and activity. If either of these indicators fail to flicker, or stay continuously lit, there may be a problem with the network connection or configuration. Verify the network connection and configuration. The port must be connected to a Ethernet network to function properly.
3. Select the Wizard’s Search for Better Driver option and specify the folder containing the interface card INF file. The Hardware Wizard will scan the specified folder for all INF files and will select the first INF file it finds with a device entry containing a matching hardware ID string. NOTE: The Hardware Wizard will copy the selected INF file, renaming it to OEM<#>.inf, where the # is some integer, and it will place the copied file into the C:\WINNT\inf folder.
If devices are listed, verify FC HBA mapping mode or AL_PA addresses on the interface card. Verify configuration A number of configuration changes may result in an invalid configuration. If you are in doubt about the configuration, restore the interface card to the factory default configuration and proceed to configure the unit a step at a time, verifying the functionality of the configuration as changes are made. Verify mapping Verify that all desired devices have been discovered and mapped.
Read XFER_RDY Disabled 0x1 Write XFER_RDY Disabled 0x0 Verify HBA device driver information Check the HBA device driver Readme.txt file for configuration specifics. An HBA may require a different configuration, depending on whether it is connected to a loop or a switch. HBAs typically come with utility programs to view or change their configurations.

C Inband SCSI-3 commands The HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received inband over iSCSI/NDMP. When received by the interface card, these commands are then executed by the interface card itself. When using SCSI-3 commands to access general management features, the commands can be sent to device LUNs that are mapped through the interface card. The following is a list of the SCSI-3 commands that are supported by the interface card.
The interface card returns the LUN Parameters as defined in Table 13. Table 13 Report LUNs Parameter List Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Byte 0 (MSB) 1 LUN list length 2 3 (LSB) 4 Reserved 5 Reserved 6 Reserved 7 Reserved LUN list 0-7 First LUN : 0-7 Last LUN NOTE: The LUN list length is the number of LUNs times 8. All LUNs are reported and will appear in the host’s map. Inquiry command The format of the Inquiry command is shown in Table 14.
EVPD Page 0x80 If the EVPD bit is set and the Page Code is 0x80 the unit serial number page is returned. The format of this page is shown in Table 15. Table 15 Format of EVPD Page 0x80 Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Byte 0 Device Type (0ch) 1 Page Code (80h) 3 Reserved 4 Page Length 5...20 Serial Number The serial number field is a 16-byte left-justified ASCII string.
NOTE: The Revision Level comes from the last four characters of the build string, which appears in the headings for most menu screens.
D Addressing, structures, and operations Fibre Channel and SCSI systems employ different methods of addressing devices. The inclusion of a interface card requires that a method of translating device IDs be implemented so that each SCSI device is mapped to the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN. The SCSI buses establish bus connections between devices. Targets on a SCSI bus may internally address logical units. The addressing of a specific SCSI device is represented by the BUS:TARGET:LUN triplet.
The interface card supports the Peripheral Device Addressing Method and the Logical Unit Addressing Method, depending on the configuration.
Indexed addressing option Indexed Addressing allows for host bus adapter (HBA) drivers that only use Peripheral Device addressing to access SCSI devices attached to the interface card. This is done by use of a table, which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. It is not possible in this mode to address the interface card as an interface card unit directly. The table has the structure as shown in Table 22.
attached devices. The host can then perform actions on these interface card attached devices directly without having to perform discovery by issuing commands through all possible combinations.
E Enabling DHCP on the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is an open industry standard that simplifies administering networks based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). DHCP allows network resources to go farther by enabling a unique IP address to be assigned to a specific device (interface card, client host, etc.) on a non-permanent, dynamic basis. DHCP makes network administration easier—the larger the network, the greater the benefit.
Setting up DHCP over interface card interfaces Interface cards use three different interfaces which can be used to enable DHCP: Serial, Telnet, and VM. The following will describe how to enable and disable DHCP for each interface. NOTE: Located on the interface card is a label that displays the unit’s Ethernet MAC Address. A network administrator can then use this MAC Address to set up a lease reservation on the DHCP server for the IP address of the interface card.
• Select 2. The following menu appears: Figure 82 Ethernet configuration menu Ethernet Configuration Menu X.X.XX XXXXXX XXXXXX-XXX_XXXXXXXXXXXXXX 07/7/2005 08:56:22 IP Address : 1.1.1.1 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 IP Gateway : 0.0.0.
NOTE: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet network used by the interface card. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, the standard for DHCP requires that the interface card wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing out. During this period, the interface card menus and functions will not be accessible.
Visual Manager To access the interface card using the Visual Manager interface: 1. Look up the current IP address within the Ethernet Configuration menu using the serial interface. 2. Type the IP address in the Web browser without using “www” or “/” or any other characters or symbols. 3. After entering the IP address, the user should see the Configuration Main menu. Click on the Configuration link. This will access the Configuration Menu containing CURRENT/NEW readings for DHCP (“Use DHCP”).

This is also known as an HBA, or Host Bus Adapter. FC device A device that uses Fibre Channel communications. FC port An opening at the back of the interface card that provides a fiber optic connection between the FC adapter and the FC host.
indexed addressing A menu name. It allows for generic Fibre Channel host bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the interface card using a table which is indexed by sequential LUN values. initiator A device (usually a host system) that requests an operation to be performed by another device known as a target (usually a peripheral). initiator mode Configuration mode of the interface card in which a Fibre Channel initiator requests operations to be performed by a SCSI target device.
offline Taking the interface card offline indicates that all SCSI and FC adapters in the interface card are offline. Taking a SCSI adapter offline means ending inputs/outputs and suspending all transactions going from the interface card to the specified SCSI devices. The SCSI adapter is no longer active or available for access. Taking a FC adapter offline means ending inputs/outputs and suspending all transactions going from the interface card to the specified FC device.
SCSI addressing A SCSI adapter supports up to 16 devices, including itself. Each device has its own unique SCSI address. The SCSI address of a device dictates the device’s priority when arbitrating for the SCSI bus. SCSI address “7” has the highest priority. The next highest priority address is “6” followed by 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, with “8” being the lowest priority address. The narrow SCSI adapter is factory set to address 7.
