fibre Channel Card

Javier Ortiz Guajardo — Fri, 05 Dec 2003 10:24:50 GMT

i install a Fibre Channel card a3404a in a K370 unix system hpux-11.0.

but when i check the Fibre Channel with command
/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/fcms0

Local N_Port_ID is = 0x000000
N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x10000060B0F982E8
N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x10000060B0F982E8
Topology = UNKNOWN
Speed = 1062500000 (bps)
HPA of card = 0xFFB08000
EIM of card = 0xFFFA000A
Driver state = OFFLINE
Number of EDB's in use = 0
Number of OIB's in use = 0
Number of Active Outbound Exchanges = 0
Number of Active Login Sessions = 0

What i need to do, to put the car ONLINE an topology IN_LOOP.

IÂ´ve configured the drivers fcT1_fcp fcT1_cntl
fcT1 fcp and the Kernel Parameter num_tachyon_adapters is set to 5 but i only have 1 Fchannel card.

the ioscan show me the card
fc 0 10/8 fcT1 CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Fibre Channel Mas
s Storage Adapter
lan 0 10/8.5 fcT1_cntl CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Fibre Channel Mas
s Storage Cntl
/dev/fcms0
fcp 0 10/8.8 fcp CLAIMED INTERFACE FCP Protocol Adapter

iÂ´ve already check the light in Fibre Channel Card and itÂ´s ok. It is receiving and transmit but i still not can see the disk array.

i will appreciate your help.
Thanks so

I believe you need to do:

fcmsutil fcms0 reset

It may need a kick in the pants to get going...

Caution: this is a destructive command so be sure you dont have anything connected along this FC

You need to assign disk to the card by its world wide name. That should bring it online.

Hi,

I think you need to configure the interface on the fc switch in loop mode.

Sorry forgot one more thing. Is this direct connected or thru a switch...

IF direct connected this should fix it. IF it is thru a switch, I would telnet to the switch and make sure the port it is plugged into is ON or you may try another port.

when i reset de FC the Driver STATE is DEAD.

How can i configure the fc interface to IN_LOOP topology and the Worl Wide Name?

The FC is direct connected to the Disk Array XP256.

Thanks?

3404 is an HSC card that only supports 1 Gb FC-AL or direct connect . I see you have all the drivees there .

I also see you have a PCI tachyon TL/TS driver installed . Since this one only supports switched fabric , I would start by removing this driver and see ehat happens .
May be the two drivers are conflicting .
