Configuration

A number of configuration changes may result in an invalid configuration. If

you are in doubt about the configuration, restore the bridge to the factory

default configuration, and configure the bridge one step at a time to verify the

functionality of the configuration as changes are made.

Devices

It may be useful to connect the SCSI target devices you are attempting to use to

the native SCSI interface to verify that the devices are functional. SCSI target

devices can be connected to a host SCSI bus to verify they are functional.

Host Configuration

In some cases, it may be that the FC host bus adapter 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 driver provided to see if there

are any specific issues or required configurations. It may also be useful to

ensure that you are using a current version of the HBA driver.

Check the Windows NT System Log using the Event Viewer to verify that the

HBA driver is functioning properly.

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 that

can be used to view or change their configuration.
