1 Adapter Overview HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Overview NOTE: For the latest copy of this document and related HP Fibre Channel documentation: 1. Go tohttp://www.hp.com/go/hpux-iocards-docs 2. Select “ HP-UX 11i v1 I/O Cards”, “HP-UX 11i v2 I/O Cards”, or “HP-UX 11i v3 I/O Cards”, depending upon your version of HP-UX. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage is a high-speed connection for mass storage. It transmits data faster than existing SCSI mass storage interconnects.
2 Fibre Channel Adapter Installation Prerequisites Before installing the adapter, follow these steps: 1. 2. Verify compliance with supported configurations using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-iocards-docs Determine if the adapter is a Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) using the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix. If the adapter is not a CRU, contact your HP representative for installation assistance.

3 Troubleshooting and Maintenance Introduction Troubleshooting Fibre Channel problems can involve a variety of hardware and software components. A problem affecting the system may originate in another part of the Fibre Channel Mass Storage interconnect. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, contact your HP representative.

with dual port adapters, each port is accessed and configured independently through the appropriate device driver. CAUTION: The fcmsutil command is a powerful diagnostic tool that can cause problems if used incorrectly. Read and understand the manpage carefully before using fcmsutil. The primary fcmsutil options for system administrators are: • echo • test • reset • get For detailed information on this utility and its options, see the fcmsutil manpage.
Check to see that the driver state is ONLINE. You cannot use all fcmsutil options with all the adapters. In the manpage for fcmsutil, (QL) follows the options that can be used with the FibreChannel port of the A6826A, A9782A, A9784A, AB378A, AB379A, and AB465A adapters. Options without the (QL) indicator can be used with all adapters. You can use the echo, test, reset, and get options with fcmsutil. Use other fcmsutil options only at the request of your HP support representative.

When the fcd driver discovers a new target device, it creates a hardware path for that device based on the N_Port ID. The N_Port ID is the Fibre Channel address for a device, and a way of identifying the device in a Storage Area Network (SAN).
This command has three options: • Validate device replacement for a specific lunpath (for example, run the command: # scsimgr -f replace_wwid -C lunpath -I 0). The advantage of using this option is that it allows you to directly specify a single lunpath class and instance, and it is sufficient when the replaced device only has one lunpath, or if only a few lunpaths are affected by the SAN reconfiguration.
STM runs in three modes: • Menu Mode Use the mstm command to start STM in Menu Mode. • X Windows environment Use the xstm & command to start STM in X Windows. • Command Line Mode Use the cstm command to start STM in Command Line Mode. Three tools are available in STM for Fibre Channel Mass Storage adapters: • Information Tool The Information Tool provides information about a Fibre Channel adapter without resetting the adapter.
Generated EOF Count = 8 Bad CRC Count = 9 Protocol Error Count = 10 Possible Causes/Recommended Actions: It is possible for link down errors to occur under normal operation. No action is required. The system will recover. • Diagnose Tool The Diagnose Tool runs a loopback test on a Fibre Channel adapter. This test is destructive and must only be run by qualified personnel or on instruction from an HP Support Representative. NOTE: STM also includes a Firmware Update tool.

ODE consists of the following: Test Controller Acts as the user interface and launches the execution of the Test Modules. Test Modules Diagnostic or utility programs designed to execute within ODE. These modules exercise or diagnose user-specified hardware units. System Library (SysLib) A set of common routines for use by both the Test Controller and the Test Modules. These routines perform I/O, string parsing, and system control.
See the Support Matrix for the Fibre Channel adapter you are troubleshooting for current system and adapter firmware requirements and other information. Support Matrixes for HP Fibre Channel adapters are available at: http://www.hp.com/go/hpux-iocards-docs.
E. F. If the system firmware meets or exceeds the minimum required version, go to E. If not, go to G. Enter the swlist command to see if the Fibre Channel Mass Storage filesets have been installed. For example, enter swlist -l fileset. Does FC FILESET display? The file sets displayed depend on the Fibre Channel adapter product you are using.
Fibre Channel Connections Test Figure 2 Flowchart 2: Fibre Channel Connections Test Flowchart 2 Connections Test Procedures The sections below provide additional detail on the procedures listed in Flowchart 2. A. B. C. D. Verify that the Fibre Channel adapter is properly seated. Shut down the system by entering /usr/sbin/shutdown -h. Power off the system and disconnect the cables. Check that the adapter is properly seated in the backplane. To verify that it is seated correctly, power on the system.
E. F. Verify that the Fibre Channel Mass Storage device is powered on. If not, power on the device. Run Fibre Channel Mass Storage device-specific diagnostics. If diagnostics are available to troubleshoot the Fibre Channel Mass Storage device, follow the steps to verify that the device is functioning properly. After verification, go to Flowchart 3.
Firmware Updates This section explains the process for updating the firmware of your Fibre Channel host bus adapter. Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Online Firmware Updates The Fibre Channel host bus adapters that use the FCD driver can be updated while the system is online by using the rom_fw_update option of the fcmsutil command. CAUTION: Do not attempt to use the following procedure if the adapter is attached to a boot disk, swap, or dump device; this will result in a system hang.
1. 2. 3. 4. From the EFI prompt, enter the map -r command. Enter the cd command to change to the directory containing efiutil. Enter the efiutil command to get to the command line interface for efiutil. Choose the adapter you want to update as shown below: efiutil>adapter Adapter Index number [0]? Where: represents the adapter index you want to update. NOTE: Please note that the index number is the digit (0, 1, etc.) displayed by efiutil.
