Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Interpreting Hardware Paths If all attached devices are not listed or appear as UNCLAIMED, see the Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapter of the HP Fibre Channel Adapters Support Guide. Verify that the link speed at both ends of any cable are auto-negotiated to the highest common speed. Run the fcmsutil /dev/fcd# command to check the link speed. • If the AB378A is connected to a switch port that is set in ASN mode or set at 4Gb, Link Speed should display 4Gb.
Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Interpreting Hardware Paths Table 1-4 describes each field in the hardware path. Table 1-4 Hardware Path Field Descriptions Fibre Channel Topology of HBA Field Value Fabric Topologies Private Loop Adapter The hardware path of the Fibre Channel adapter through which the Logical Unit Number (LUN) is seen. For multiport adapters, this field describes a specific port on the adapter. Domain Dependent on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA.
Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Interpreting Hardware Paths Table 1-4 Hardware Path Field Descriptions (Continued) Fibre Channel Topology of HBA Field Target Value Depends on the Fibre Channel topology and the LUN addressing method used. Fabric Topologies Private Loop For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the lower 4-bits of the third byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
