This section describes the steps the router uses to convert Fibre Channel host
protocol to SCSI device protocol. Figure 3 and Table 3 illustrate and define this
process.

Figure 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI process

Table 3: Converting Fibre Channel to SCSI


Item Description
1 A Fibre Channel host issues an encapsulated FCP protocol command
packet to the router.
2 The router Fibre Channel controller interprets the Fibre Channel
information, and places the packet in buffer memory.
3 The router interprets the Fibre Channel information packet and programs
the router SCSI controller to process the transaction.
4 The router SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI device
(target).
5 The SCSI target interprets the command and executes it.

Introduction

SCSI to Fibre Channel Protocol Process


In this example, a SCSI host (initiator) on the SCSI bus issues commands and the
information is passed through the router to a target on the Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (FC-SAN). Figure 4 is an illustration of the process and Table 4
defines each step.

Channel standards, refer to publications from the X3T11 committee of ANSI. For those who are
interested in purchasing approved American National Standards and Technical Reports, contact
ANSI at (212) 642-4900.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 25


Configuration Overview

Router Default Ethernet Settings


Some of the basic factory default values are:
■ IP address: http://1.1.1.1/
■ Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
■ Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
■ User name: root
■ Password: password
HP recommends that you change these values from the defaults.
All settings within the router configuration are preset with default values. These
values are set to allow the router to be installed into most HP environments with
little or no configuration changes.
After changing the basic default values listed above, carefully consider any
additional configuration changes.
After the initial configuration of the router is established, HP recommends
backing up the configuration to an external file. If needed, during a recovery
process, this file can then be restored back onto the router.

26 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Configuration Overview

UI Overview
The router supports the following user interfaces:
■ Visual Manager
■ Serial
■ Telnet
■ FTP

Visual Manager
Visual Manager lets you view and change router configuration from any standard
Web browser. Information is dynamically generated in an HTML format so that
any Web browser can access it.
Unless the default values are used, the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port must be
configured using the serial port with an appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway prior to use.
For complete information on accessing and using Visual Manager, see Chapter 3,
"Visual Manager User Interface."

Serial
The serial port allows for configuration of device characteristics from a terminal
or terminal emulator. Multiple serial connections cannot be run at the same time.
For complete information on accessing and using the Serial UI, see Chapter 4,
"Serial/Telnet User Interface."

Network Storage Router e1200-160 27


Configuration Overview

Telnet
From most Microsoft® Windows® 9x, Windows NT®, and Windows 2000®
systems, users can start a Telnet session from the DOS (command) shell after the
IP address has been set.
For complete information on accessing and using the Telnet UI, see Chapter 4,
"Serial/Telnet User Interface."

FTP
The router supports the use of the FTP UI to perform several copy procedures
using the put and the get commands.
For more information, see Chapter 5, "FTP User Interface."

28 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Configuration Overview

Common Configuration Settings


To provide connectivity between hosts and devices, the router must establish an
address on each connected Fibre Channel network and SCSI bus. The following
paragraphs discuss configuration settings that are commonly modified and are
available in the Visual Manager UI and the Serial/Telnet UI.
For procedural information on accessing and changing these settings, see Chapter
3, "Visual Manager User Interface," and Chapter 4, "Serial/Telnet User Interface."

Controller LUN Commands


The router supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received as FCP
commands over the Fibre Channel port. These commands provide support for
value added features such as Extended Copy (a future value added option). When
using these commands, they must be sent to the Controller LUN.
For more information, see Appendix B, "Controller LUN Commands."

SCSI Bus Configuration


The router can appear on a SCSI bus as a pair of initiators. The primary Initiator
ID can be set to any valid SCSI address (0-15) and is used for most traffic. The
alternate Initiator ID can also be set to any valid SCSI address (0-15) and is for
use with high priority traffic. The Initiator IDs (primary and alternate) should not
be set to the same SCSI address and no other devices on the SCSI bus may use
either of these SCSI addresses.
The router can also appear as one or more Target ID on a SCSI bus. By default, no
Target IDs are set up.
The router provides the capability to reset SCSI buses during the router boot
cycle. This allows devices on a SCSI bus to be in a known state. The reset option
can be enabled/disabled during configuration of the router. The SCSI bus reset
feature is enabled in the default configuration, but should be disabled for
configurations using multiple initiators, tape changers or other devices that have
long reset cycles, or for environments that are adversely affected by bus resets.
The router negotiates the maximum values for transfer rates and bandwidth on a
SCSI bus. If an attached SCSI device does not allow the full rates, the router will
use the best rates it can negotiate for that device. Because negotiation is on a
device-specific basis, the router can support a mix of SCSI device types on the
same SCSI bus.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 29


Configuration Overview

Fibre Channel Port Configuration


By default, the configuration of the Fibre Channel ports is set to N_Port, forcing
the router to negotiate a fabric only mode.

Note: By default, the Fibre Channel port speed is set to 2 Gb/s. Changes to the Fibre
Channel port speed must be manually set, such as for 1 Gb/s. If set incorrectly and the
router is plugged into a Loop or Fabric, the unit may receive framing errors, which can be
found in the trace logs, and the fiber link light will be off because of the incorrect Fibre
Channel link speed. For more information on manually setting the Fibre Channel port
speed, see Chapter 3, "Fibre Channel Port Configuration."

Fibre Channel Switched Fabric Configuration


When connected to a Fibre Channel switch, the router is identified to the switch as
a unique device by the factory programmed World Wide Name (WWN).

Discovery Mode
This feature makes it easy to discover attached Fibre Channel and SCSI target
devices and automatically map them on the host side for the bus/port in question.
There are two discovery methods available:
■ Manual discovery
■ Auto discovery
Auto Discovery can be set to occur after reboot events (when the router reboots)
or link-up events (for instance, when cables are attached or a hub is rebooted).
Auto Discovery can be disabled by setting the router to Manual Discovery.
For more information on setting the Discovery Mode, see Chapter 3, "Fibre
Channel Port Configuration," when using the Visual Manager User Interface or
Chapter 4, "Fibre Channel Configuration," when using Serial/Telnet.

Host Device Configuration


A host system using a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) will typically map
devices into the existing device-mapping scheme used by that operating system.
Refer to the HBA manual for the mapping table.

30 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Configuration Overview

Mapping involves pairing FC_AL_PA to SCSI target address. The HBA will
claim enough SCSI bus entries to allow up to 125 Fibre Channel targets to be
mapped to SCSI Bus: Target entries. This is usually done by a fixed mapping of
AL_PA to Bus: Target. In such a configuration, the router corresponds to a
Bus: Target identifier, with the attached SCSI devices appearing as logical units
(LUNs). Operating systems can extend the available SCSI limit of 15 targets per
bus. Although this is not an issue for the operating system or most applications,
there are cases where older applications can have expectations about what
constitutes a valid SCSI ID, and thus may not correctly handle certain mappings.
In particular, some applications may exhibit difficulties addressing target IDs
greater than 15 (for example, 16 and up). This situation can be resolved by
configuring the router to use hard addressing and setting the AL_PA to a value
less then 16 that the HBA will be able to map.
For example, depending on the Fibre Channel HBA, if the hard AL_PA selection
is 1, then the address is 1. If the selection is 125, the AL_PA address is 0xEF.
Some Fibre Channel HBAs will map devices differently, so verify the AL_PA by
reviewing the documentation for the HBA.
For more information on AL_PA configuration, see Chapter 3, "Fibre Channel
Port Configuration," when using the Visual Manager User Interface or Chapter 4,
"Fibre Channel Configuration," when using Serial/Telnet.

Logical Unit Management


Because SAN resources can be shared, it is possible for multiple hosts to have
access to the same devices on the SAN. To prevent conflicts, the router provides
LUN management as a means to restrict device access to certain hosts. LUN
management goes beyond simple LUN masking, to prevent gaps in the list of
LUNs presented to a host.
LUN management maps can be created for different views of the devices attached
to the router. Each Fibre Channel host is assigned a specific map configuration.
Not only can the administrator control which devices a host may access, but also
which LUNs are used to access these devices.
For a Fibre Channel host, a map is a table of LUNs, where each entry is either
empty or contains device address information needed for host/device
communication.
For a SCSI host, a map contains a list of target IDs, each of which has its own
table of LUNs with address information needed for host/device communication.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 31


Configuration Overview

Note: The router can respond to multiple Target IDs on a SCSI bus.

Both Fibre Channel ports and SCSI buses have predefined maps.
There are four predefined maps:
■ Indexed Map
■ Port 0 Device Map
■ Auto Assigned Maps
■ SCC Map
When a host sends a command, the router will select which map to use, based on
the port receiving the command and the ID of the host sending the command. For
Fibre Channel ports, the host ID is the World Wide Name; for SCSI buses, the
host ID is the Initiator ID (0 - 15). When a host is unknown or is not assigned a
specific map, the router will use the default map.

Indexed Map
An indexed map is initially empty.

Port 0 Device Map


The Port 0 Device Map should be used when editing and assigning oncoming
hosts.

Auto Assigned Map


An auto assigned map is built dynamically and contains all of the devices found
during discovery. This map will change automatically any time the discovery
process finds a change in the devices attached. This map cannot be modified by
the user.

SCC Map
An SCC map is only available on Fibre Channel ports and contains only a single
entry for LUN 0. This LUN is a router controller LUN. Access to attached devices
is managed using SCC logical unit addressing.

32 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Configuration Overview

Buffered Tape Writes


This option is designed to enhance system performance by returning status on
consecutive write commands prior to the tape device receiving data. If data does
not transfer correctly, the router returns a check condition on a subsequent
command.
Commands other than Write are not issued until status is received for any pending
Write, and status is not returned until the device completes the command. This
sequence is appropriate for tasks such as file backup or restore.
Some applications require confirmation of individual blocks being written to the
medium, such as for audit trail tapes or log tapes. In these instances, the Buffer
Tape Writes option must be disabled.

Visual Manager User Interface

Visual Manager Access


Visual Manager (VM) can be accessed from any standard Web browser:
1. Connect a 10/100BaseT Ethernet cable to the back of the router.
2. Apply power to the connected SCSI and/or Fibre Channel devices.
3. Apply power to the host computer.
4. Enter the router IP address in the address field of the Web browser of the host
computer.

Note: To access VM, the router must be assigned a valid IP address. The factory default
setting for the IP address allows access on a local area network only. If the factory default
for the IP address is already used by another device on the local network, the IP address
must be changed.

The factory default for the IP address is http://1.1.1.1/

Note: If the IP address of the router is not known or needs to be changed, connect to the
router using a serial connection. The current router IP address is displayed and can be
changed in the serial Ethernet Configuration Menu.

The Visual Manager home page is displayed, showing router status


information. The home page is accessible to anyone who knows the router IP
address.
5. Select the desired menu option to access menus and screens.
The Password dialog box is displayed. See Figure 7 for an example of the
Password Dialog box.

6. Enter the authorized user name and password. The username and password
are case-sensitive.
The default user name is root and the default password is password.

Figure 7: Password Dialog Box

Note: HP recommends changing the user name and password from the defaults.

Note: To end the current session of VM, the browser window must be closed.
Navigating the browser to another URL does not end the current session.

Visual Manager User Interface

Visual Manager Best Practices


The following recommendations should be observed:
■ A standard keyboard and mouse must be used to navigate in the VM.
■ The router is shipped with a configuration of default settings that is acceptable
for most system environments. Few changes to the configuration should be
necessary.
■ After any configuration changes are made, depending on the menu option,
select Submit or Configure to send changes from the Web browser to the
router.
Changes will take effect during the next router reboot cycle.
■ If the configuration has been modified to meet specific needs, back up the
configuration to an external file. If necessary, these settings can later be
restored to the router.
■ Except for the user name, password, and override access, fields are not
case sensitive.
■ HP recommends that you not bookmark VM pages with the Web browser.
Because configuration information is transmitted via URLs, it is possible that
the router could be configured with information present at the time a page was
bookmarked.
■ HP recommends navigating using only the Web page links contained in VM
itself.
Depending on the Web browser used, these links will often appear as
highlighted text. By selecting these links, VM can be safely navigated.

Port Configuration - Ethernet Settings (Service Mode - Restricted Access)


To change the Ethernet configuration settings, select the Ethernet port icon. The
Ethernet Configuration dialog box is displayed.
See Figure 14 for an example of the Ethernet Configuration dialog box.

Figure 14: Ethernet Configuration dialog box

Ethernet configuration settings:


■ Ethernet Mode can be set to one of the following options:
— 10Mps Only
— 100Mps (half duplex) Only
— 100Mps (full duplex) Only
— 10/100Mps (Auto-Neg.)
■ MAC address is the Ethernet physical address of the router.

Caution: If this configuration is incorrectly set, processing difficulties may occur.


Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change and verify the
desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router configuration to an
external file before making changes to this setting.

48 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Visual Manager User Interface

The Ethernet physical address is always assigned by the manufacturer.


■ IP address (default: 1.1.1.1) is the IP address of the router.
■ Subnet Mask (default: 255.255.255.0) is the IP subnet mask for the router.
■ IP Gateway (default: 0.0.0.0) is the IP address of the gateway for the Ethernet
network connected to the router.
■ DHCP enables or disables support for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP).
When DHCP is enabled, the router requests a dynamic IP address from a
DHCP server on the Ethernet network. The router must be rebooted before an
IP address will be requested from the DHCP server. After the router is
rebooted, the HTTP session must be restarted. The IP address will be different
from the former non-DHCP IP address.

Note: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
network. If the DHCP feature is used when there is not DHCP server, the standard for
DHCP requires the router wait thee minutes for a response from a DHCP server before
timing out.

Some DHCP servers allow a lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by


providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server
always provides the same IP address to the router. This setup can be useful for
remote management of the router via Telnet or VM. Because the method of
setting up a lease reservation varies, depending on the DHCP server being
used contact the Network Administrator for assistance.

SNMP Configuration
SNMP configuration is not supported.

Figure 20: Fibre Channel Configuration screen

Fibre Channel port settings:


■ Link Status indicates the port link status.
■ Port Name High sets a new value for the World Wide Port Name High.
(Service Mode - Restricted Access)

56 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Visual Manager User Interface

Caution: If the following configuration settings are incorrectly set, processing


difficulties may occur. Before changing these settings, evaluate the need for
the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the
router configuration to an external file before making changes to these
settings.

■ Port Name Low sets a new value for the World Wide Port Name High.
(Service Mode - Restricted Access)
■ Port Mode (default: N_Port) sets the port mode.
Port Mode settings:
— Auto Sense: In this mode, the Fibre Channel port tries to negotiate as a
loop. If it is not successful, then the Fibre Channel port negotiates as a
fabric. If the port comes up as a loop, it then determines whether it is on a
private or public loop.
— N_Port: (default) This mode allows the router to bypass the loop
negotiation and come up as a fabric only. If the router is on a loop, and
N_Port mode is selected, an error in communication may occur.
■ Use Hard AL_PA enables or disables Hard AL_PA usage.
■ Hard AL_PA Settings displays the AL_PA Lookup Table.
Use the table to find the node number. This unique one-byte valid value
(derived from an Arbitrated Loop Topology defined in ANSI specification
FC_AL version 4.5) is used for the Fibre Channel configuration.
■ Discovery Mode (default: Manual Discovery Only) determines how the
router will discover new Fibre Channel devices.
Discovery mode settings:
— Auto Discovery on Reboot Events allows the router to automatically
discover all Fibre Channel devices when rebooted or when link-up events
occur, such as connecting cables or rebooting network hubs.
— Both the ports and the devices behind the ports are discovered on all
subsequent link-up events.
— Auto Discovery on Link Up Events allows the router to automatically
discover all Fibre Channel devices when rebooted or when link-up events
occur, such as connecting cables or rebooting network hubs.
— Both the ports and the devices behind the ports are discovered for the first
link-up event. Subsequent link-up events will only discover the ports and
not the devices behind the ports.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 57


Visual Manager User Interface

— Manual Discovery Only (default) sets discovery of new devices to occur


only after the user selects the Discovery option from the Main Menu or
when a Registered State Change Notification (RSCN) is received from a
fabric.

Note: SCSI devices attached to a Fibre Channel must be mapped as sequential Fibre
Channel LUNs starting at LUN number 00. Skipping LUN numbers is not
recommended when mapping Fibre Channel LUNs because Fibre Channel Discovery
stops the discovery process whenever an empty LUN position is found.

■ Buffered Tape Writes (default: enabled) enables or disables the Buffered


Tape Write option.

Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties


may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change
and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.

When enabled, to enhance performance, Buffered Tape Writes return status


on consecutive write commands prior to the tape device receiving data.
■ Buffered Tape Queue Depth sets the Buffered Tape Queue Depth.
Select a setting of 0 through 10 from the drop-down list.
■ Default Map (default: indexed) sets the current mapping mode for the
selected port.
The current map can be set to:
— Port 0 Device Map (HP recommends that this map be used to edit and
assign oncoming hosts.)
— Indexed (default) (HP recommends that this map NOT be edited, even
though the user is able to edit the Indexed map.)
— Auto-assigned contains all the SCSI devices that are attached to the
router.
— SCC
For more information about mapping modes, see Appendix C, "Addressing
Methods and Table Structures."
For information on changing map settings, see “Mapping Menu, page 65,”
later in this chapter.

Visual Manager User Interface

■ Performance Mode (default: 2 Gb/s) toggles between 1 Gb/s and 2 Gb/s.

Note: If Performance Mode is set incorrectly and the router is plugged into a Loop or
Fabric, the unit may receive Framing errors due to the incorrect Fibre Channel link
speed.

■ Override Settings (service mode-restricted access) enhances interoperability


with some storage devices that require special consideration during setup of
the router configuration menus.
— Hi-Sup Bit toggles between Set and Clear.
— Force FCP Response Code toggles between Off and On for support of
HP-specific HBA #223180-B21 and #120186-001.
— Initiator Bit toggles between Set and Clear.
When using the router in a router-to-router configuration, this option
should be configured to Set. A router-to-router configuration is a type of
configuration where one router appears as a target to another initiator
router.
— Link Garbage Deletion toggles between Enabled and Disabled.

■ Target ID(s) adds or removes Target IDs.

60 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Visual Manager User Interface

Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties


may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change
and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.

Note: Target IDs must be setup before mapping devices on the SCSI bus.

Note: Do not enable Target IDs unless there is a SCSI initiator on the bus that wants to
use Fibre Channel devices. This type of configuration is known as a Target Mode
configuration.

■ Discovery toggles between Enabled and Disabled.


■ Discovery Delay is the wait time after a power-up or reboot before
discovering SCSI devices.

Note: HP recommends setting the value to at least 30 seconds to ensure all SCSI
devices complete their individual power-ups.

■ Bus Reset on Boot toggles between Enabled and Disabled.


When enabled, the router will automatically reset SCSI buses during a power
up or reboot of the router.
■ Internal Termination toggles between Enabled and Disabled.

Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties


may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change
and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.

When enabled, internal termination of the selected SCSI bus is allowed.


When disabled, the SCSI Bus, not the router handles SCSI termination.
■ Buffered Tape Writes (default: Enabled) toggles between Enabled and
Disabled.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 61


Visual Manager User Interface

When enabled, Buffered Tape Writes enhance system performance. Buffered


Tape Writes return status on consecutive write commands prior to the tape
device receiving data.
■ Default Map (default: auto-assigned) sets the current mapping mode for the
selected bus.

Caution: If this configuration setting is incorrectly set, processing difficulties


may occur. Before changing this setting, evaluate the need for the change
and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the router
configuration to an external file before making changes to this setting.

■ Override Settings (Service mode-restricted access) To override the settings
of a SCSI target, select a Target ID icon with the appropriate Target ID
number.
After a specific Target is selected, the SCSI Override sub-screen is displayed
and is used to enter the Override settings.
SCSI bus override settings:
— CDB Length Override enables or disables the override of default CDB
lengths.
— CDB Group 6 Length Default (default: 0) can be set to 0, 6, 10, or 12.
— CDB Group 7 Length Default (default: 0) can be set to 0, 6, 10, or 12.
— Wide Negotiation enables or disables negotiation on a wide SCSI bus.
— Synchronous Negotiation enables or disables synchronous negotiation
on the SCSI bus.

62 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Visual Manager User Interface

— Synchronous Parameter Override enables or disables parameters for


synchronous negotiation.
— Synchronous Period (default: 40) sets the maximum number of seconds
allowed for negotiation.
— Synchronous Offset (default: 16) sets the maximum variation in transfer
rate that can be negotiated in megabytes per seconds (MB/s).
— Ultra SCSI-3 Negotiation enables or disables Ultra SCSI-3 support for
the selected Target ID.
When enabled, Ultra SCSI-3 Negotiation helps solve certain
compatibility issues in mixed vendor environments where there may be a

Serial/Telnet User Interface

Telnet UI Access
To open a Telnet session, the IP address of the router and a Telnet client utility are
required.

Note: After each reboot, a new Telnet session must be started. If the router is reset to
factory settings, the Ethernet port will have to be re-configured using the serial
interface.

From most Windows 9x, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 systems, a Telnet
session can be started from the Command (DOS) shell using the following steps:
1. From the Windows Start Menu, open the Command Prompt (DOS) window.
2. At the ‘>’ prompt, enter:
> TELNET <IP ADDRESS>
where <IP ADDRESS> is the IP address of the router
3. Enter the user name and password.
The default user name is root and the default password is password.
HP recommends that the user name and password be changed from the default
values. The Configuration Menu is displayed.

Serial UI Access
To open a serial session, a terminal emulator utility is required.
From most Windows 9x, Windows NT, and Windows 2000 systems, a
HyperTerminal session can be started using the following steps:
1. From the Windows Start Menu, open HyperTerminal.
2. Name the new terminal session.
3. Indicate the appropriate COM port.

The name can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, up to eight
characters.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 99


Serial/Telnet User Interface

■ 7) Toggle DHCP Configuration enables or disables support for Dynamic


Configuration Protocol.
When DHCP is enabled, the router will request a dynamic IP address from the
DHCP server on the Ethernet network.
Some DHCP servers allow a lease reservation to be set up for an IP address by
providing the server with the Ethernet MAC address. The DHCP server will
then always provide the same IP address to the router. This setup can be
useful for remote management of the router such as Telnet or Visual Manager
Because the method of setting up a lease reservation varies depending on the
DHCP server being used, contact your Network Administrator for assistance.

Note: To use the DHCP feature, a DHCP server must be operational on the Ethernet
network. If the DHCP feature is used when there is no DHCP server, DHCP standards
require the router wait three minutes for a response from a DHCP server before timing
out.

■ 8) Change SNMP Settings is not supported.


■ 9) Change Security Settings changes security settings, including the user
name and password.
The default user name is root and the default password is password.

Caution: To ensure security, change the user name and password from the
default settings.

Note: The security settings entered here affect all user interfaces.

User names and passwords should be unique and kept confidential. HP


recommends using a combination of letters and numbers when creating user
names and passwords.

changes the World Wide Port Name High.
■ 2) Change World Wide Name Low (service mode-restricted access)
changes the World Wide Port Name Low.
■ 3) Toggle Hard AL_PA Usage changes the Hard AL_PA usage to either Yes
or No.
— If set to Yes, a unique one-byte valid value (derived from an Arbitrated
Loop Topology as defined in ANSI specification FC_AL version 4.5) is
used for the Fibre Channel configuration.
— When configuring the Fibre Channel AL_PA, the router presents a list of
loop addresses along with the corresponding AL_PA. The user can select
a loop address.
■ 4) Change AL_PA Value changes the AL_PA value. The AL_PA lookup
table is displayed. Enter a node number from the table.
■ 5) Toggle Discovery Mode (default: Manual Discovery Only) determines
how the router will discover new Fibre Channel devices.
Options include:
— Auto Discovery on Reboot Events allows the router to automatically
discover all Fibre Channel devices during reboots, including both the
ports and the devices.
— Auto Discovery on Link-up Events allows the router to automatically
discover all Fibre Channel devices during reboots, including both the
ports and the devices for the first link-up event. Subsequent link-up
events will only discover the ports and not attached devices.

102 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Serial/Telnet User Interface

Note: SCSI devices attached to a Fibre Channel port must be mapped as sequential
Fibre Channel LUNs starting at LUN number 00. Skipping LUN numbers is not
recommended when mapping Fibre Channel LUNs because Fibre Channel Discovery
stops the discovery process whenever an empty LUN position is found.

Caution: If these configuration settings are incorrectly set, processing


difficulties may occur. Before changing these settings, evaluate the need for
the change and verify the desired setting. HP recommends backing up the
router configuration to an external file before making changes to these
settings.

— Manual Discovery Only (default) sets discovery of new devices to only


occur after the user selects the Refresh Device Display option. The
Refresh Device Display option is accessed from the System Utilities
Menu.
■ 6) Toggle Buffered Tape Writes (default: Enabled) changes the tape backup
mode to either Enabled or Disabled.
■ 7) Change Buffered Tape Queue Depth changes the tape backup queue
depth. Select a value from 0 through 10.
■ 8) Toggle Port Mode (default: N_Port) changes the port mode to either Auto
Sense or N_Port:
— Auto Sense: In this mode, the Fibre Channel port tries to negotiate as a
loop. If it is not successful, then the Fibre Channel port negotiates as a
fabric. If the port comes up as a loop, it then determines whether it is on a
private or public loop.
— N_Port (default): This mode allows the router to bypass the loop
negotiation and come up as a fabric only. Use this setting if a HP switch is
being used. If the router is on a loop and N_Port mode is selected, an error
in communication may occur.
■ 9) Change Default Map Value (default: Indexed) changes and displays the
default current map for the port.
Mapping modes can be Auto-Assigned, Indexed (default), or SCC.

1. Connect the router to the Ethernet network used by the host computer.
2. Start an FTP session using the router IP address:
ftp <IP address>
where IP address is the address of the router.
The default router IP address is 1.1.1.1.

Note: You will need to specify the directory location where your FTP utility will store
the trace file.

3. Enter the user name and password.


The default user name is root and the default password is password.
HP recommends that the user name and password be changed from the default
values.
4. Specify binary mode:

Basic Troubleshooting

LED Indicators
The LED indicators on the router are useful for diagnosing various problems:
■ The Fibre Channel port LEDs indicates Fibre Channel activity and link
status. If one of these indicators does not light or stays continually lit without
any corresponding SCSI bus activity, it may indicate a problem with the Fibre
Channel link. Verify the Fibre Channel configuration.
■ The SCSI bus LEDs indicates SCSI activity. These indicators are lit during
power up, configuration, and when the unit is transferring data. If the SCSI
indicator stays continually lit without any corresponding Fibre Channel LED
activity, it may indicate a problem with the SCSI bus configuration. Verify
the SCSI bus configuration.
■ The Ethernet LEDs indicates activity and link status. If one of these indicators
does not light or stays continuously lit, it may indicate a problem with the
network connection. Verify the network connection. The port must be
connected to a 10/100BaseT Ethernet network to function properly.
Additional information on the specific LEDs is available in Chapter 1, "External
Features Overview."
For an illustration of the router components and LED locations, see Figure 80.

Basic Troubleshooting

Basic Troubleshooting
If possible, simplify the installation by reducing it to the most basic configuration.
Then, add elements one at a time, verifying the operation after each step.
Basic troubleshooting includes verifying the setup and the connections, including:
■ Verifying SCSI bus configuration
■ Verifying Fibre Channel port connection
■ Verifying SCSI devices in Windows NT
■ Verifying the router configuration
■ Verifying mapping
■ Verifying devices
■ Verifying host configuration
■ Verifying HBS device driver information
■ Verifying serial port configuration
■ Verifying PRLI data
Each of these topics is discussed in the following sections.

Verifying SCSI Bus Configuration


Items to check include:
■ Termination — Problems with termination can cause intermittent or hard
failures. A SCSI bus must be terminated on both ends. Termination problems
are common when both narrow and wide devices are on the same bus.
■ Bus Type — On an LVD SCSI bus, SE and LVD devices can be connected to
the same bus. However, if one SE device is detected during power up,
communication to all devices will convert to SE mode.
■ Device ID — Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique ID. Verify
configured IDs are not in use by other devices on the same SCSI bus.
■ Cabling — Check SCSI cables to verify they are functional. SCSI rules for
total length, distance between devices, and stub length must be followed.
Connections should also be checked and reseated if necessary.
■ SCSI Devices — Verify that the SCSI devices on a particular SCSI bus can
be seen in the Configuration Menu of the router. If the router cannot see the
devices, verify SCSI configuration, cabling, and termination.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 155


Basic Troubleshooting

Verifying Fibre Channel Port Connection


If SCSI devices are recognized on the SCSI buses, but do not appear to the Fibre
Channel host, it may be that the Fibre Channel link is not properly established.
Most hubs and switches have link indicators showing link status. When the router
is connected and powered on, this link indicator should be solid. If it is not, check
the cabling or connections.
One method of verifying link integrity when connected to a functional host,
involves disconnecting and then reconnecting the Fibre Channel cable. This
procedure should cause momentary activity of this indicator as the link
reinitializes.
Additionally, verify that the cable type of the router and the attached hub, HBA,
or switch is of corresponding types. When using optical media, verify that the
attached device is using non-OFC type optical devices.

Note: By default, the Fibre Channel port speed is set to 2 Gb/s. Changes to the Fibre
Channel port speed must be manually set, such as for 1 Gb/s. If set incorrectly and the
router is plugged into a Loop or Fabric, the unit may receive framing errors, which can be
found in the trace logs, and the fiber link light will be off because of the incorrect Fibre
Channel link speed. For more information on manually setting the Fibre Channel port
speed, see Chapter 3, "Fibre Channel Port Configuration."

156 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Basic Troubleshooting

Verifying SCSI Devices in Windows NT


If running Fibre Channel-to-SCSI mapping mode, verify the Fibre Channel and
the SCSI devices are recognized by the router.
Sometimes Windows NT may need to be rebooted with all SCSI devices and the
router powered up before recognizing the devices.
To verify the Fibre Channel and SCSI devices:
1. Navigate to the Windows NT Control Panel, and select SCSI Adapters.
2. Double click the Fibre Channel HBA.
The SCSI devices should be listed.
If no devices are listed, verify the router configuration, Fibre Channel HBA
configuration, and cabling.
If devices are listed, verify the Fibre Channel HBA mapping mode or the
AL_PA addresses.

Verifying the Router Configuration


If you are in doubt about the configuration or about the location of the error,
restore the router to the factory default configuration and proceed to configure the
unit one step at a time, verifying the functionality of the configuration after each
change is made.

Caution: Restoring factory defaults overwrites user configurations. In the


Serial/Telnet interface, use the save configuration option before resetting
factory defaults to allow recovery of user configuration.

Verifying Mapping
If the router is working in Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Initiator mode and is using
Indexed or SCC mapping, try changing to Auto-assigned mapping.

Verifying Devices
It may be useful to connect the SCSI target devices directly to a SCSI interface
(for example, a host SCSI bus) to verify that the devices are functional.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 157


Basic Troubleshooting

Verifying the Host Configuration


In some cases, the Fibre Channel HBA or host device driver may not be working
properly. Check the configuration of these elements.
It may be useful to check the release notes for the device driver to see if there are
any specific issues or a required configuration. It may also be useful to ensure that
the current version of the HBA driver is being used.
There are cases where older applications can have expectations about what
constitutes a valid SCSI ID, and thus may not correctly handle certain mappings.
This is not an issue for the operating system or most applications. However, some
applications may exhibit difficulties addressing target IDs greater than 15 (16 and
higher.) To resolve this situation, configure the router to use hard addressing and
set the AL_PA to a value that the HBA will be able to map with an ID less than
16.

Verifying HBA Device Driver Information


Review the HBA device driver Readme.txt file for configuration specifics. An
HBA may require a different configuration. HBAs typically come with utility
programs to view or change their configurations.

Verifying Serial Port Configuration


If you are having problems connecting via the serial interface, verify the
configuration of the terminal or terminal emulation program.
Table 11: Terminal Configuration Settings
BAUD Rate Autobaud, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200
Data Bits 8
Stop Bit 1
Parity None
Flow Control XON/XOFF

If problems persist, verify the cabling.


If a valid Ethernet IP address is configured, serial configuration settings can also
be set via Telnet.

158 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Basic Troubleshooting

Verifying PRLI Data


The router returns the PRLI (preliminary login) response data as specified in
Table 12.
In the default configuration, the router returns PRLI Data (PRLI Accept Payload)
with the Target bit SET and the Initiator bit CLEAR. However, some
configurations require the Initiator bit be SET, such as in router-to-router
configurations. See the Fibre Channel Overrides Menu for more information
about changing the initiator bit.

Controller LUN Commands B
BF
The HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router supports and executes the set of
SCSI-3 commands listed in this Appendix. These commands can be received as
FCP commands over the Fibre Channel bus and are supported by the Controller
LUNs. This document refers to these commands as Controller LUN commands.
Complete definitions of SCSI-3 commands can be found in the SCSI-3 standard
available from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
This Appendix explains general Controller LUN commands.
To first determine which router LUNs are controller LUNs and which are device
LUNs, the host software must use the Inquiry general command.
Controller LUNs are addressable in all addressing modes. In SCC mode, there is
one controller LUN. In Auto-Assigned and Indexed modes, there can be up to four
configurable controller LUNs.

Note: Controller LUNs are numbered in sequence following the last device LUN,
without any gaps. A controller LUN may be placed anywhere in custom tables.

Addressing Methods and
Table Structures
C
CF
Fibre Channel and SCSI systems use different methods of addressing devices. The
router has a method of translating device IDs so each SCSI device is mapped to
the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN. The SCSI buses establish the bus connections
between devices. Targets on a SCSI bus may internally address LUNs. The
addressing of a specific SCSI device is represented by the BUS:TARGET:LUN
triplet.
When a Fibre Channel Initiator initializes on a loop, the host must first determine
what devices exist on the loop. Device discovery is performed and an FCP target
device list is built. Each device is queried for FCP LUNs (the LUNs are the actual
devices that the operating system will address.) The addressing used is the SCC
Logical Unit Addressing and Peripheral Device Addressing method, shown in
Table 20 through Table 23. First level addressing is supported, so only the first
two bits of the 8-bit FCP LUN are used.

Addressing Methods and Table Structures

SCC (SCSI Controller Command) Addressing Method


When a router is configured to use SCSI Controller Command addressing (SCC)
and a command is received, the router either will respond as a controller device to
the FCP Initiator or will route the FCP request to a specified BUS:TARGET:LUN.
If a request using the Peripheral Device Addressing method is received (an FCP
command with the LUN field bits 7 and 6 of byte 0 set to 0), the router routes the
request to the internal processor, which acts on the command directly. If a request
using the Logical Unit Addressing method is received (bits 7 and 6 set to 00x10),
the request is routed to the BUS:TARGET:LUN as specified in the defined field
Host systems using SCC addressing will typically do initial device discovery
using the Peripheral Device Addressing method. On issuing an Inquiry command
to the router, the host will receive the router Inquiry data, indicating the device
type as a controller device (Inquiry data indicates device type is 0xC). The host
will then know that subsequent commands to router-attached devices will use the
Logical Unit Addressing method.
The host can perform discovery by either progressing through the
BUS:TARGET:LUN values, as would a standard SCSI driver, or by issuing a
Report LUNs command. This command is sent to the router (using the Peripheral
Device Addressing method). The router returns a table indicating the attached
devices. The host can then perform actions on these devices directly without
performing further discovery processing.

Auto Assigned Addressing Method


The Auto Assigned addressing method is created through SCSI device discovery
on power up or reset. As the router performs device discovery on the SCSI bus,
the index table FCP LUN values are filled with adjacent FCP LUN referencing
each subsequent SCSI device. The index table generated by the Auto Assigned
option cannot be manually edited.
When the Auto Assigned option is used, the host system will detect every attached
SCSI device without voids, allowing full device access to the host. This method
allows easy configuration in environments where SCSI device ordering is not
important and where hot plugging of SCSI devices will not occur. For example,
tape libraries are excellent candidates for using Auto Assigned Addressing.
Configuration options provide for the SCSI discovery to be performed in order of
bus, target, or LUN as desired for the specific environment.

176 Network Storage Router e1200-160


Addressing Methods and Table Structures

Indexed Addressing Method


Indexed addressing allows for host bus adapter (HBA) drivers that use only
Peripheral Device Addressing to access SCSI devices attached to the router. This
addressing is done by use of a table, which is indexed by sequential LUN values,
indicating the selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. In this mode, it is not
possible to address the router as a controller unit directly.
The maximum size of the table is equal to the number of buses multiplied by the
number of targets per bus less one Initiator ID per bus, multiplied by the number
of LUNs per target. The index table can be manually edited. A method is also
provided to perform SCSI device discovery and fill the index table.
See Table 25 for the Indexed addressing table.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and
Regulations has established Radio Frequency (RF) emission limits to provide an
interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including
computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are,
therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related
peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended
installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be
installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that
may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for
example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a
label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional
operating instructions for the user.
The rating label on the device shows the classification (A or B) of the equipment.
Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not
have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. After the Class of the device is
determined, refer to the corresponding statement in the following sections.

Electrostatic Discharge E
EF
To avoid damaging equipment, be aware of the precautions you need to follow
when setting up the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from
a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static-sensitive
devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:
■ Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe
containers.
■ Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at
static-free workstations.
■ Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their
containers.
■ Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
■ Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or
assembly.

Network Storage Router e1200-160 187


Electrostatic Discharge

Grounding Methods
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following
methods when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
■ Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or
computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of
1 megohm ± 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide proper
ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
■ Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the
straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor
mats.
■ Use conductive field service tools.
■ Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have a
HP authorized reseller install the part.

Note: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation,
contact your HP authorized reseller.
