Microsoft® Windows 2000 Device Driver Microsoft® Windows 2000 Device Driver The Fibre Channel (FC) Interface Controller supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received as FCP commands over the Fibre Channel bus. A requirement for support of these commands is the presence of a controller LUN in the Fibre Channel LUN map.
NetWare Environment Considerations NetWare Environment Considerations NetWare servers utilizing the Compaq Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters, must enable the FC Interface Controller’s Force FCP Response Code setting. This setting is enabled/disabled on a per FC port basis and can be set via the FC Interface Controller’s browser interface, FC Configuration Settings menu.
KGPSA HBA Error Recovery Settings KGPSA HBA Error Recovery Settings The ResetTPRLO (Third Party Process Logout) driver parameter for cpqkgpsa.sys Fibre channel driver versions 4.82 and later, is set to a default value of 1. For Enterprise Backup Solutions (EBS) configurations, HP recommends changing the ResetTPRLO parameter setting to 2.
Creating Maps in OpenVMS and Large Storage Area Network (SAN) Environments Creating Maps in OpenVMS and Large Storage Area Network (SAN) Environments The following instructions describe how to create an indexed map in OpenVMS and large SAN environments using the Visual Manager (VM) user interface. To see VM screen illustrations, and additional information on maps, refer to the HP StorageWorks FC Interface Controller User Guide. 1. Access the VM home page. 2. Select Mapping.
Creating HP-UX Maps Creating HP-UX Maps The following instructions describe how to create an indexed map in an HP-UX environment, using the Visual Manager user interface (VM). To see VM screen illustrations and additional information on maps, refer to the HP StorageWorks FC Interface Controller User Guide. 1. Access the VM home page. 2. Select Mapping.
