About this Guide 16 Network Storage Router e1200-160
1 Introduction 1F The HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router provides bidirectional connectivity for Narrow/Wide Fast/Ultra-3 SCSI buses in a Fibre Channel Switched Fabric (FC-SW) environment.
Introduction External Features Overview Figure 1 illustrates the I/O panel of the router.
Introduction Power Indicator The router has one power LED. Power indicator LED definition: Green - Power has been applied to this module Yellow - Power-On-Self-Test (POST) in process or processor problems Serial Port The router is equipped with one serial port. See Figure 1 for the location of the serial port. The serial port can be used to access the Serial/Telnet user interface, which is used to locally manage and configure the router.
Introduction Functional Overview The router translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from the SCSI Protocol. It transfers commands, data, and status information to and from Fibre Channel controllers and SCSI devices.
Introduction Fibre Channel to SCSI Protocol Process This section describes the steps the router uses to convert Fibre Channel host protocol to SCSI device protocol. Figure 3 and Table 3 illustrate and define this process. Figure 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI process Table 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI Item Description 1 A Fibre Channel host issues an encapsulated FCP protocol command packet to the router.
Introduction SCSI to Fibre Channel Protocol Process In this example, a SCSI host (initiator) on the SCSI bus issues commands and the information is passed through the router to a target on the Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (FC-SAN). Figure 4 is an illustration of the process and Table 4 defines each step.
Introduction LAN-free Backup and Restore The router can enable LAN-free backup/restore to allow the bulk of data traffic to be moved from the LAN to the storage area network (SAN). See Figure 5 for an illustration of this process. Fibre Channel ETHERNET SCSI TAPE UNIT SCSI DATA MOVEMENT SCSI TAPE UNIT StorageWorks Router Link/ Act Fibre Channel Pwr. Fibre Channel Pwr.

Configuration Overview 2 2F The HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router can be configured and managed using several user interfaces (UI). Each UI is introduced in this chapter, along with information about common configuration settings.
Configuration Overview Router Default Ethernet Settings Some of the basic factory default values are: ■ IP address: http://1.1.1.1/ ■ Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 ■ Gateway address: 0.0.0.0 ■ User name: root ■ Password: password HP recommends that you change these values from the defaults. All settings within the router configuration are preset with default values. These values are set to allow the router to be installed into most HP environments with little or no configuration changes.
Configuration Overview UI Overview The router supports the following user interfaces: ■ Visual Manager ■ Serial ■ Telnet ■ FTP Visual Manager Visual Manager lets you view and change router configuration from any standard Web browser. Information is dynamically generated in an HTML format so that any Web browser can access it.
Configuration Overview Telnet From most Microsoft® Windows® 9x, Windows NT®, and Windows 2000® systems, users can start a Telnet session from the DOS (command) shell after the IP address has been set. For complete information on accessing and using the Telnet UI, see Chapter 4, "Serial/Telnet User Interface." FTP The router supports the use of the FTP UI to perform several copy procedures using the put and the get commands. For more information, see Chapter 5, "FTP User Interface.
Configuration Overview Common Configuration Settings To provide connectivity between hosts and devices, the router must establish an address on each connected Fibre Channel network and SCSI bus. The following paragraphs discuss configuration settings that are commonly modified and are available in the Visual Manager UI and the Serial/Telnet UI. For procedural information on accessing and changing these settings, see Chapter 3, "Visual Manager User Interface," and Chapter 4, "Serial/Telnet User Interface.
Configuration Overview Fibre Channel Port Configuration By default, the configuration of the Fibre Channel ports is set to N_Port, forcing the router to negotiate a fabric only mode. Note: By default, the Fibre Channel port speed is set to 2 Gb/s. Changes to the Fibre Channel port speed must be manually set, such as for 1 Gb/s.
Configuration Overview Mapping involves pairing FC_AL_PA to SCSI target address. The HBA will claim enough SCSI bus entries to allow up to 125 Fibre Channel targets to be mapped to SCSI Bus: Target entries. This is usually done by a fixed mapping of AL_PA to Bus: Target. In such a configuration, the router corresponds to a Bus: Target identifier, with the attached SCSI devices appearing as logical units (LUNs). Operating systems can extend the available SCSI limit of 15 targets per bus.
Configuration Overview Note: The router can respond to multiple Target IDs on a SCSI bus. Both Fibre Channel ports and SCSI buses have predefined maps. There are four predefined maps: ■ Indexed Map ■ Port 0 Device Map ■ Auto Assigned Maps ■ SCC Map When a host sends a command, the router will select which map to use, based on the port receiving the command and the ID of the host sending the command.
Configuration Overview Buffered Tape Writes This option is designed to enhance system performance by returning status on consecutive write commands prior to the tape device receiving data. If data does not transfer correctly, the router returns a check condition on a subsequent command. Commands other than Write are not issued until status is received for any pending Write, and status is not returned until the device completes the command.

Basic Troubleshooting 6 6F This chapter discusses some basic methods of identifying problems in the setup and configuration of the HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router. Most problems occur during the initial installation of the router. Before proceeding with advanced troubleshooting techniques, verify all connections and review the configuration.
Basic Troubleshooting ■ Introducing HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools, page 160 — Software Features — Finding Additional Information — Getting Support 152 Network Storage Router e1200-160
Basic Troubleshooting LED Indicators The LED indicators on the router are useful for diagnosing various problems: ■ The Fibre Channel port LEDs indicates Fibre Channel activity and link status. If one of these indicators does not light or stays continually lit without any corresponding SCSI bus activity, it may indicate a problem with the Fibre Channel link. Verify the Fibre Channel configuration. ■ The SCSI bus LEDs indicates SCSI activity.
Basic Troubleshooting Table 10: Router illustration components Item 154 Description 7 8 SCSI bus activity LED (on corresponding port) 9 SCSI VHDCI connector (2) SCSI bus activity LED (on corresponding port) Network Storage Router e1200-160
Basic Troubleshooting Basic Troubleshooting If possible, simplify the installation by reducing it to the most basic configuration. Then, add elements one at a time, verifying the operation after each step.
Basic Troubleshooting Verifying Fibre Channel Port Connection If SCSI devices are recognized on the SCSI buses, but do not appear to the Fibre Channel host, it may be that the Fibre Channel link is not properly established. Most hubs and switches have link indicators showing link status. When the router is connected and powered on, this link indicator should be solid. If it is not, check the cabling or connections.
Basic Troubleshooting Verifying SCSI Devices in Windows NT If running Fibre Channel-to-SCSI mapping mode, verify the Fibre Channel and the SCSI devices are recognized by the router. Sometimes Windows NT may need to be rebooted with all SCSI devices and the router powered up before recognizing the devices. To verify the Fibre Channel and SCSI devices: 1. Navigate to the Windows NT Control Panel, and select SCSI Adapters. 2. Double click the Fibre Channel HBA. The SCSI devices should be listed.
Basic Troubleshooting Verifying the Host Configuration In some cases, the Fibre Channel HBA or host device driver may not be working properly. Check the configuration of these elements. It may be useful to check the release notes for the device driver to see if there are any specific issues or a required configuration. It may also be useful to ensure that the current version of the HBA driver is being used.
Basic Troubleshooting Verifying PRLI Data The router returns the PRLI (preliminary login) response data as specified in Table 12. In the default configuration, the router returns PRLI Data (PRLI Accept Payload) with the Target bit SET and the Initiator bit CLEAR. However, some configurations require the Initiator bit be SET, such as in router-to-router configurations. See the Fibre Channel Overrides Menu for more information about changing the initiator bit.
Basic Troubleshooting Introducing HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools To provide continued service to our customers, HP provides the HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools (L&TT) software application. L&TT is a diagnostic tool that is designed to aid in the installation and maintenance of both HP tape devices and tape libraries.

Controller LUN Commands B BF The HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router supports and executes the set of SCSI-3 commands listed in this Appendix. These commands can be received as FCP commands over the Fibre Channel bus and are supported by the Controller LUNs. This document refers to these commands as Controller LUN commands. Complete definitions of SCSI-3 commands can be found in the SCSI-3 standard available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Controller LUN Commands General Commands ■ Report LUNs ■ Inquiry Each of these commands is discussed in the following paragraphs. Report LUNs Command The Report LUNs command returns a list of LUNs that can receive commands. The format of the Report LUNs command is shown in Table 15.
Controller LUN Commands The router returns the LUN Parameters as defined in Table 16. Table 16: Report LUNs Data Bit/ Byte 7 6 5 4 3 2 0 Most Significant Byte (MSB) 1 LUNs Length List 1 0 2 3 Least Significant Byte (LSB) 4 Reserved 5 Reserved 6 Reserved 7 Reserved All LUNs are reported and will appear in the host map. Note: In addition to the device LUNs, controller LUNs are also included in the report. Controller LUN values are displayed at the end of the list.
Controller LUN Commands EVPD Page 0x80 If the EVPD bit (bit 0 of byte 1) is set and the Page Code is 0x80, the unit serial number page is returned. The format of this page is shown in Figure 18.
Controller LUN Commands Table 19: LUN Inquiry Data Item Value Vendor ID “HP” Product ID “router” Revision Level “XXXXXX” The router will only reply to a SCSI Inquiry using 8-byte LUN field of 0x00. Note: The Revision Level comes from the last four characters of the build string, which appears in the headings for most menu screens.
Controller LUN Commands 172 Network Storage Router e1200-160
Addressing Methods and Table Structures C CF Fibre Channel and SCSI systems use different methods of addressing devices. The router has a method of translating device IDs so each SCSI device is mapped to the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN. The SCSI buses establish the bus connections between devices. Targets on a SCSI bus may internally address LUNs. The addressing of a specific SCSI device is represented by the BUS:TARGET:LUN triplet.
Addressing Methods and Table Structures Table 20: Addressing Sequence Bit/Byte 7 6 5 4 Address Method N 3 2 1 0 Address Method Specific Address Method Specific N+1 Table 21: Address Method Definitions Code Description 00 Peripheral Device Addressing Method 01 Volume Set Addressing Method 10 Logical Unit Addressing Method 11 Reserved Table 22: SCSI Logical Unit Addressing Bit/Byte N 7 1 6 0 5 4 3 2 1 0 4 3 2 1 0 Target Table 23: Peripheral Device Addressing Bit/Byte N
Addressing Methods and Table Structures Depending on the configuration, the router supports the Peripheral Device Addressing method and the Logical Unit Addressing method. The data shown in Table 24 comes from the Fibre Channel Configuration Menu. The administrator enters the node number (number to the left of the colon in Table 24) and the router translates the node number into the corresponding AL_PA value (number to the right of the colon in Table 24).
Addressing Methods and Table Structures SCC (SCSI Controller Command) Addressing Method When a router is configured to use SCSI Controller Command addressing (SCC) and a command is received, the router either will respond as a controller device to the FCP Initiator or will route the FCP request to a specified BUS:TARGET:LUN.
Addressing Methods and Table Structures Indexed Addressing Method Indexed addressing allows for host bus adapter (HBA) drivers that use only Peripheral Device Addressing to access SCSI devices attached to the router. This addressing is done by use of a table, which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating the selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. In this mode, it is not possible to address the router as a controller unit directly.
