4 Troubleshooting Introduction The Power-On Self Test (POST) and the Windows Event Viewer are troubleshooting utilities you can use for the FCA2355 Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This chapter explains the use of these utilities in the event of an HBA problem. POST Conditions and Results Table 4–1 lists the HBA LED states with descriptions of each.The position of the POST LED indicators is defined in Figure 1–1 and Table 1–1 of this guide. If the LEDs indicate a failure during POST: 1.
Troubleshooting Using The Event Viewer The Windows NT and Windows 2000 SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows Event log. Following is the procedure for viewing the event log. From the Main menu: 3. Double click or select the Administrative Tools program group. 4. Double click or select the Event Viewer.

Troubleshooting Private Loop Device Mapping In a private loop environment (FC-AL, no switch), devices are initially created based on a fixed address ordering. Once created (at boot), the devices continue to be tracked based on: –WWPN:HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0 –NodeName:HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1 –D_ID:HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=don’t care) This section identifies the initial fixed mapping between the Windows NT bus/target/lun and a Fibre Channel native address (AL_PA/SEL_ID).

5 Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities This chapter contains instructions for installing and using the following Windows NT and Windows 2000 utilities: • DOS Diagnostic utility, x86DNLD, a DOS-based diagnostic and firmware download utility. This utility is used exclusively in standalone environments. • LightPulse Utility/NT, LP6DUTIL, a Windows-based graphical user interface for updating firmware and Boot code. This utility is used in Software Solution kits.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Installing the DOS Diagnostic Utility You must load the software and start the diagnostic utility from the DOS command line. You can run the program directly from the supplied software kit or you can load onto your hard drive and run it from there. NOTE: The diagnostic utility does not operate in the DOS shell under Windows. To install the utility onto the hard drive: 1. Insert the supplied diskette into your system’s diskette drive. 2.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Using the DOS Diagnostic Utility for Preliminary Testing The diagnostic program performs preliminary analysis of the HBA before displaying the main menu. If no HBA is found, the program exits. Error messages are displayed on failure conditions. During startup, the diagnostic and firmware download utility program: 1. Looks for installed PCI HBAs. 2. Executes preliminary testing on all installed HBAs. Tests include: a. SLIM memory test b. BIU register test c.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Adapter 1 PASSED PRELIMINARY TESTS Resetting Host Adapter 1 Host Adapter 1: POST Done. Host Adapter 1 is READY. Functional Firmware Loaded. Diagnostic Firmware Version x.x Functional Firmware Version x.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities DOS Diagnostic Utility Main Menu After the diagnostic and firmware download utility goes through its start-up procedure, the Main menu displays and handles user requests. If the program detects two or more HBAs in the system, you are prompted to select which HBAs is to be tested. Table 5–1 lists the function of each option on the Main menu.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities You can run the utility from the CD or copy and run it from your local hard drive. NOTE: You must install and connect the SCSI Miniport driver to at least one drive before lputilnt can operate properly. You can alternately set the registry parameter Simulate Device= to 1. View HBA Parameters From the LightPulse Utility/NT Main menu screen: 1. Select an HBA. 2. On the menu bar, click on an HBA or pull down the category list. 3. Select an option to view HBA parameters.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Modify Diagnostic Driver Parameters in the Windows Registry This screen provides information about device driver parameters that are maintained in the Windows registry and allows you to modify those values. CAUTION: Do not modify the registry parameters unless specifically instructed to do so by support personnel. Modifying registry parameters can result in an unstable SAN.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 5–3 lists the current parameters that you can set. Table 5–3: Drive Parameters Parameter 5–8 Description AbortStatus = 0xn Values from 0x00 – 0xFF. Controls NT SRB error status for general Abort conditions. Default = SRB_STATUS_BUS_RESET (0x0E) which will not cause the current NT class driver to throttle down I/O performance after four of these errors have been received (on a per-LUN basis) ALTOV = n Values are in milliseconds from 1 to 15. Default = 15.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 5–3: Drive Parameters (Continued) QueueTarget = n Vaules 0 or 1 (decimal). Default = 0. 0 = QueueDepth applies on a per LUN basis: 1 = QueueDepth applies on a Target basis. RATOV = n Values are in seconds from 2 to 120. Default = 2. This value is the ELS request time-out. ReadCheck = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. 0 = do not enable byte counting for read operations. 1 = enable byte counting.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Table 5–3: Drive Parameters (Continued) SnsALL = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 1. Controls which N_Ports are queried from the NameServer. 0 = SCSI FCP only. 1 = All N_Ports. Topology = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 0. 0 = FC_AL (loop), 1 = PT-PT Fabric. When set to 1, FLOGI, SCR/RSCN and NameServer queries are employed. TrafficCop = n Values 0 or 1. Default = 0.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Test Host Bus Adapters Select this option to run host-based internal and external loopback tests on the HBAs. From the LightPulse Utility/NT Main menu screen: 1. Select Test Host Bus Adapters. 2. Enable or disable the external loopback tests: a. Enable the external loopback tests by selecting 1=Y. The default is disabled, 0=No. Internal BIU PCI loopback and other loopback tests are run automatically. b. Select 0=No if you do not have an external loopback connector.
Diagnostic and Configuration Utilities Input/Output Select this option to open or close input and output files. The contents of the Input file are interpreted and executed by the program. The output file contains a log of all messages. Note that nesting of input files is not supported. Maintenance Select this option to update firmware or non-volatile parameters in the flash ROM. This option also displays program images (load list) stored in the HBA memory.

Glossary This glossary defines terms used in this guide or related to this product and is not a comprehensive glossary of computer terms. AL-PA Arbitrated Loop Physical Address. The address of a Fibre Channel node in an arbitrated loop. Arbitration The process of selecting one respondent from a collection of several candidates that request service at the same time. b/s (or bps) Bits per second.
Glossary Boot BIOS Software coded into the chips on the HBA. A special program used to boot and control the computer. Broadband In data transmission, it denotes transmission facilities capable of handling frequencies greater than those required for high-grade voice communications. The higher frequency allows the carrying of several simultaneous channels. Cladding The dielectric material surrounding the core of an electrical fiber or material surrounding the core of a fiber optic cable.
Glossary Duplex Transmission Transmission in both directions, either one direction at a time (half duplex) or both directions simultaneously (full duplex). Fabric A Fibre Channel interconnection method that allows multiple simultaneous and concurrent data transfers between multiple hosts and/or storage devices connected with a multi-port hub. FC-AL Abbreviation for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, an interconnection scheme that supports from 1 to 126 ports on a loop in a shared medium topology.
Glossary GB/s Gigabytes per second or 1,073,741,824 bytes per second. A reference to processing speed. GLM Gigabit Link Module. A transmitter and receiver that provides high-speed serial links, enabling continuous throughput in each direction simultaneously. Host Adapter Module (HAM) A HAM is the driver component used to drive specific HBA hardware in the NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NPA).
Glossary Light Emitting Diode (LED) A device used in a transmitter to convert information from electrical to optical form. It typically has a large spectral width. Lightwaves Electromagnetic waves in the region of optical frequencies. The term “light” was originally restricted to radiation visible to the human eye, with wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometers (nm).
