Re: Problem attaching IBM 3590 tape drive to a rx7620 server running 11i v2
The activity/power LED should lit up either steady or blinking depending on if the connection is done and any FC communication.
Check if the card is seated correctly in the PCI-X slot and should lit the power LED.
Assuming you have installed latest FCMS patch, td driver, EFI firmware for A6795A, you should see this card in
# ioscan -fn
Check specifically the "ioscan" entries from the HBA card downwards like
fc 0 1/1/0/0 td CLAIMED HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
Note HBA device file from ioscan and run
# fcmsutil
Refer the A6795A installation guide at
http://docs.hp.com/en/A6795-90006/index.html
Check the FC I/O addressing scheme used by the tape drive in its manual.
By the way, which "IBM Drivers" you have installed? How you are connecting the drive to the server ( direct or through switch )?

Re: Problem attaching IBM 3590 tape drive to a rx7620 server running 11i v2
There are two LEDS on the HBA, the power LED is always on, even if there is no fibre plugged in. The other LED is for activity and it has never turned green even when I plug in the fibre.
When I do a ioscan -fn it returns the following..
fc 0 0/0/6/1/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
So it appears that the card is installed and working.
I am using the drivers from this IBM ftp site..
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/devdrvr/HPUX/11i_PCI/
Specifically the atdd.5.5.0.29.bin one, I have also installed tapeutil, IBM's tape utility application.
Thanks for your help,
KeTenn57

One more thing, I am attaching the tape drive directly to the HBA, No Switch...

Otherwise, you could try flipping the fiber connectors around...
