Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Installing Adapter Hardware IMPORTANT Superdome systems are not intended to be maintained by customers. HP recommends that Superdome systems only be opened by a qualified HP service engineer. Failure to observe this recommendation can invalidate any support agreement or warranty to which you may be entitled. Installing the Fibre Channel Adapter CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure.
Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Installing Adapter Hardware • • • Ensure that the system is grounded. Open the system to gain access to the PCI backplane. Insert the card into the highest-performance PCI-X slot available. NOTE With HP-UX 11i v2, be sure to check that you are installing the card in a non-switched slot.
Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Attaching the Adapter to Other Fibre Channel Devices Attaching the Adapter to Other Fibre Channel Devices To attach the adapter to other Fibre Channel devices, follow these steps: 1. Remove the Fibre Channel host bus adapter’s optical port protector (if included). 2. Attach a connector cable to the Fibre Channel host bus adapter. a. Align the slotted plug with the keyed connector. b. Push the connector in until you hear it click. 3.
Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX LED Interpretation The ioscan output might look like the following. The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is installed. This path will be different for each installed adapter port.

Fibre Channel Adapter Installation for HP-UX Interpreting Hardware Paths Step 2. Verify that all devices you attached to the Fibre Channel adapter are listed in the ioscan output. For example, if you have a direct attach Fibre Channel device attached to the system, the ioscan output may look like the following: 8/12.8.0.255.0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE DGC C3400WDR5 The example above is the hardware path of LUN0 of a directly attached Fibre Channel Mass Storage device with Loop ID of 1.
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.
