Verifying the Fibre Channel Adapter Installation
1. Boot OpenVMS and log in to a privileged account.
2. Confirm that all of the AB378B Fibre Channel Adapter ports have been configured. A fibre channel port is
represented by devices named FGA0:, FGB0:, etc. There is one port per adapter, and there should be one
device per port. The device type should be QLogic ISP24xx FibreChannel, as shown below.
3. To verify that the device is present, use the SHOW DEVICE /FULL DCL command. The SHOW DEVICE/FULL
output might look like the following:
$ SHOW DEVICE FG /FULL
Device FGA0:, device type QLogic ISP24xx FibreChannel, is online, shareable,
error logging is enabled.
Error count 0 Operations completed 2934

Current Interrupt CPU Id 2
FC Port Name 5006-0B00-003B-48F4 FC Node Name 5006-0B00-003B-48F54.
4. Start the System Dump Analyzer and confirm that the Fibre Channel ports are usable by performing the
following commands for each device. A Link State value of 00000001 means the Fibre Channel port is
properly configured.

5. Use the System Dump Analyzer to confirm the connectivity to the SCSI/FCP Targets which are visible
through the Fibre Channel ports. An STDT Stat value of 0001 means that the SCSI/FCP Target is
available to OpenVMS:
