The Fiber Channel Card is attached to an EVA 4000 and the HP StorageWorks SAN Switch is only a 2Gb switch. So I get amber lights and limited connectivity. I need to know how to set the Fiber Channel card on HP-UX to auto-negotiate, I cannot find how to do this anywhere.
The output from the fcmsutil /dev/fcd0 also confirms the Link Speed is 4Gb
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: How to set Fiber Channel Card to Auto-Negotiate
FC cards in HP-UX boxes *always* auto-negotiate - there's no way to make them do anything else... are you *sure* your FC switch is 2Gb only?
Can you post the actual model numbers of your FC switch and FC card?

Re: How to set Fiber Channel Card to Auto-Negotiate
I have access to everything on the HP EVA 4000 SAN except the switch. I was told the HP EVA 4000 SAN was setup by HP about 4 years ago. The switch is not network attached and I attempted to get into the switch with a serial cable hanging in the back of the rack. I cannot get a login prompt.
Here is the Fiber Channel Card model -
AB378B HP PCI-X 2.0 1port 4Gb Fibre Channel HBA
Unfortunately I cannot find a reference to the HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN Switch in our service contract.
Would anyone have any suggestions for how I can get into the switch? Also, is it possible this model Fiber Channel card just does not work properly with my four year old SAN Switch? Thanks again guys.

Re: How to set Fiber Channel Card to Auto-Negotiate
Auto-negotiate is the default for these fiber cards. There is nothing to do.

Solutionif you really have a B-Series 4/16 SAN Switch then that *is* a 4Gb switch, whatever your predecessors said (the "4" in "4/16" stands for 4Gb).
The manual for the switch is here:
http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00498167/c00498167.pdf
IIRC you had to have a serial connection attached when the switch boots to get a login there - not something I expect you want to do.
Your best hope is that everything is still set to the defaults. If that's the case get a x-over cable and a laptop... give your laptop a 10.x IP address and try tro connect to the switch at IP 10.77.77.77.
Of course you'll then need the login details - try the username/password combination admin/password
