Availability With two units, dual loop attachment

provides redundancy and no single point
of failure.

Connectivity SCSI devices may be attached to Fibre

Channel storage networks to share data
and increase address space.

Distance SCSI cable length from hosts to devices is

increased from 25m to 10,000m, facilitating
remote or disaster tolerant sites.

Performance 100 Mbytes/sec Fibre Channel (200

Mbytes/sec bi-directional) offers increased
bandwidth when distributing data across
multiple SCSI devices.

Reliability Low error rates, robust error recovery and

flow control provide an enterprise with
reliable data delivery.

Scalability Point-to-point links can be expanded to

multi-initiator links supporting
interconnected servers, tape drives, tape
libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.

Flexibility Allows Fibre Channel initiators to

communicate with SCSI targets, as well as
SCSI initiators to communicate with Fibre
Channel targets, simultaneously.

FCR200 Benefits 2-7

Consolidation Allows multiple servers to share storage

resources, including tape drives, tape
libraries, disk drives and disk arrays.

Centralization Enables existing storage to be moved to a

central location to simplify management
and maintenance, and to improve security.

Lower TCO Improving storage management,

maintenance and security can lower Total
Cost of Ownership (TCO) for enterprise
storage.

How the FCR200 Works

The FCR200 is a storage router that translates Fibre Channel
Protocol (FCP) to and from two SCSI buses so devices on these
two types of media can communicate with each other. It
attaches to either a Fibre Channel or SCSI host, and transfers
the command, data, and status information to SCSI or Fibre
Channel targets. The host passes packets to SCSI or Fibre
Channel targets as if the FCR200 were just another device
along the path.

The FCR200 provides connections for two SCSI buses and a
Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop or Switched Fabric. It takes
advantage of Fibre Channel’s ability to encapsulate SCSI
protocol packets to allow a host with a FC or SCSI adapter to
access SCSI or FC peripheral devices transparently over a FC
connection.

Figure 2-6 on page 2-9 shows a Fibre Channel-to-SCSI
configuration. Through the FCR200 router, any host on the
Fibre Channel loop can access the tape drive and library on
each SCSI bus.

2-8 Description

62-9301-01

Figure 2-6 Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Configuration

Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre
Channel Device

The router is both a SCSI and Fibre Channel device operating
on a SCSI bus and Fibre Channel network simultaneously.

The SCSI Side

On a SCSI bus, the FCR200 acts as a SCSI initiator passing
requests from hosts on the Fibre Channel network to target
devices on the SCSI bus. Each FCR200 SCSI bus uses a single
SCSI ID. The default ID is 7 and can be changed when
configuring the FCR200.

The Fibre Channel Side

In a Fibre Channel loop, the FCR200 is identified by a single
Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) or a fabric
assigned Source ID. Once the address is acquired, any host on
the Fibre Channel loop can access the devices on a SCSI bus
transparently over a FC connection.

Operating as Both a SCSI and Fibre Channel Device 2-9

Mapping Devices

To allow Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to address each
other, the FCR200 creates a table that maps device identifiers
between Fibre Channel and SCSI. During FCR200
configuration, you can choose the mapping method and, in
certain cases, customize the device mappings. See
for more information about address modes and their
configurations.

Processing SCSI Information

The following describes how the router processes SCSI
information. Refer to Figure 2-7 on page 2-11.

1 A FC host issues a command. The FC host

encapsulates the command in the FCP protocol and
sends the packet to the FCR200.

2 The FC port in the FCR200 receives the packet,

interprets the FC information, and places the
packet in buffer memory.

Chapter 5

3 The FCR200’s processor interprets the information

and programs a SCSI controller to process the
transaction.

4 The SCSI controller sends the command to the SCSI

device (target).

5 The target interprets the command and prepares to

either read or write data.

2-10 Description

62-9301-01

Figure 2-7 Information processing

6 Data flows between the host and target through

DirectFlow payload buffers.

7 Response information flows from the SCSI target

back to the FC host.

Processing Fibre Channel Information

The FCR200 processes information from the SCSI bus host by
requesting operations of targets on a Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (SAN). The information is processed using the
same method as described in the previous section, except it
begins with the SCSI host bus issuing commands and the
information passing through the FCR200 to the FC SAN.

This chapter describes how to setup and install the FCR200.
This includes unpacking the FCR200 for the first time, factors
to consider when installing the FCR200, either desktop or rack
installation instructions, and connecting to different types of
devices. Read this chapter carefully and completely before
working with the FCR200.

A number of factors need to be considered in planning the
installation of the FCR200. These factors include the location
of the unit, the use of the unit, and the type of devices to which
the unit will be attached.

The FCR200 Router can be placed on a desktop or mounted in
a standard 19-inch rack depending on the specific
requirements of the installation. The operating environment
should meet the requirements found in Chapter 2. If you plan
to use the router on a tabletop, attach the stick-on feet to the
bottom of the router to protect the surface.

Interfaces and Connections

There are four types of physical interfaces to the FCR200:

• Fibre Channel

•SCSI

• RS-232 (Serial port)

•Ethernet
The RS-232 and Ethernet ports are used primarily for FCR200

configuration and management. MIB information for each
interface is discussed later in this chapter.

Figure 4-9 Port Locations

Interfaces and Connections 4-11

Fibre Channel Connection

Before connecting the FCR200 to other Fibre Channel devices,
it is important to understand the configuration requirements
of the environment to which it will be connected. Failure to
correctly configure a Fibre Channel device may impair the
operation of the storage area network to which it is attached.

Typical installations will have the FCR200 connected to either
an Arbitrated Loop or Switched Fabric environment. For an
arbitrated loop, the unit can be directly attached to the Fibre
Channel host bus adapter or target device, in a point to point
fashion. Arbitrated loops also allow for the use of Fibre
Channel hubs, to which the unit can be directly attached. In
Fibre Channel switched environments, the switch is directly
attached to the FCR200.

Figure 4-10 Configuration with Tape library

4-12 Installation

Both switches and hubs may allow for individual ports to be
configured for different media types. The FCR200 must be
connected to the hub or switch port with the appropriate
cabling for the media type in use on both the FCR200 and the
port to which it is connected.

The FCR200 supports various Fibre Channel media types
through the use of an external Gigabaud Interface Converter
(GBIC).

Available media types include:
Copper Support 1.0625 Gbaud HSSDC connector

or 1.0625 Gbaud DB9 connector

62-9301-01

qualified may cause the FCR200 to operate
improperly or to void approval and certifica­tions

3 With the FCR200 powered off, connect the FCR200

into your Fibre Channel environment using the
appropriate cabling. The connectors on the FCR200
are keyed. Be sure to insert the cable connectors in
the proper orientation.

4-14 Installation

62-9301-01

SCSI Connection

The FCR200 supports Fast/Ultra Wide SCSI. The FCR200 is
factory configured to support either a Single-Ended or
Differential SCSI bus. Four 68-pin D-shell connectors are
located on the rear panel of the unit, allowing the unit to be
attached in the middle or at the end of a SCSI bus. If the
FCR200 is located at one end of the SCSI bus, an external
terminator should be installed. Two terminators are provided
with the FCR200.

Single-Ended SCSI support is indicated by
this symbol on the rear of the FCR200.

Differential SCSI support is indicated by
this symbol on the rear of the FCR200.

The FCR200 supplies termination power (TERMPWR) on each
SCSI bus. A self-resetting fuse is used that will reset after the
fault is cleared.

To connect the FCR200 to a SCSI bus:

1 Power off your SCSI devices.

2 Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors

on the back of the router. If necessary, use a narrow­to-wide adapter.

3 Connect the other end of the SCSI cable to the next

SCSI device on the bus.

4 If the FCR200 is at the end of the SCSI bus, place the

terminator provided with the router on the
FCR200’s other SCSI connector on the same bus. If
the router is not at the end of the bus, attach a
second SCSI cable to the other SCSI connector. Use
a narrow-to-wide adapter, if necessary. Connect
this cable to the next device on the bus.

SCSI Connection 4-15

Figure 4-13 FCR200 SCSI Connection

Ethernet Connection

Note

The FCR200
contains a unique
Ethernet MAC
address that is
assigned during
the
manufacturing
process.

10BaseT Ethernet connectivity is used to provide enhanced
management and configuration capabilities. The RJ-45
connector on the unit can be directly connected to a standard
10BaseT Ethernet network.

Configuration is required to set the IP network address to
allow for use of the configuration capabilities of this port.
Refer to

Chapter 6

Ethernet capabilities include Telnet for configuration, FTP
and TFTP for firmware upgrades, and SNMP for
configuration and management.

for details on setting the IP network address.

Figure 4-15 FCR200 Ethernet Port

Ethernet Connection 4-17

Serial Port Connection

The RJ11 connector on the rear panel of the FCR200 provides
an RS-232 connection that can be used to configure the
FCR200, monitor diagnostic status, or to update the program
stored in the FCR200’s Flash memory. A cable is provided
with the unit to connect to a DB-9 serial connection. Further
information on the operations allowed via the RS-232 port is
provided in

The RS-232 port operates with the following settings:
Baud Rate: Autobaud (9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or

Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None
Flow Control: None

Autobaud Feature

Note

Hitting the Enter
key before the
POST has
completed has no
effect on the
autobaud feature.
Wait until both
the POST and the
Firmware
Initialization
processes have
completed before
hitting the
ENTER key. This
may take up to 90
seconds.

The autobaud feature automatically configures the baud rate
on the FCR200. Once you set the baud rate in the terminal
emulation program, wait until the FCR200 completes the
Power On Self Test (POST) and then the Firmware
Initialization process. This can take up to 90 seconds. Then
press the Enter key five or six times and the FCR200 will
automatically detect the baud rate and configure the router.
The baud rate is then saved in the FCR200’s configuration and
will be retained through future power cycles.

The baud rate in the terminal emulation program must be set
at 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200 for the autobaud
feature to recognize it. The FCR200 will not function properly
at any other baud rate.

Autobaud Feature 4-19

Connecting the Power Cord

The power cord shipped with the FCR200 is a 120 VAC three­conductor power cord for use in the United States or Canada.
If you are planning to use another input voltage or if you plan
to use the FCR200 outside of the U.S. or Canada, you must
supply your own power cord.

To connect the power cord to the FCR200:

1 Make sure the FCR200’s power is switched off. See

Figure 4-17 for the location of the power switch on
the back of the router.

2 Connect the female end of the power cord to the

power connector on the back of the FCR200.

3 Plug the male end of the power cord into the power

source.

Management Information Base (MIB)

A MIB (Management Information Base) is an element used in
network management with SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) and a management station running a
management application, such as Hewlett Packard’s Open
View. The management application uses GETs and SETs to
get system information and set system environment variables.

The ADIC private MIB can be accessed via Ethernet and is
both a diagnostic and a configuration tool for the FCR200.

The following sections outline what MIB information is
available for each interface type on the ADIC MIB. For more
information on accessing the ADIC MIB, contact a support
representative.

MIB Fibre Channel Interface Information

Fibre Channel data reported includes frame and packet
information, upper layer protocol (ULP) type (FCP or IP), and
other Fibre Channel specific information. Draft MIBs for Fibre
Channel N_Ports and F_Ports are in the public domain.

The ADIC private MIB includes:

• Groups for Fibre Channel configuration

• Fibre Channel port physical table

• Fibre Channel port statistics

• SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mapping

• Fibre Channel-to-SCSI mapping

MIB SCSI Interface Information

The MIB gathers SCSI information for management purposes.
This specific MIB provides information about the following:

• Number of I/O operations per bus

• Number of disconnects

• Abort count

• Number of bus resets

• Vital Product Data (VPD) from Inquiry command for each
SCSI device

• SCSI configuration information

This information can be found in the SCSI Statistics Table,
SCSI Config Group, and the SCSI Product Data Groups of the
ADIC private MIB.

Management Information Base (MIB) 4-21

MIB Ethernet and Serial Interfaces
Information

The Ethernet interface is used for configuration and
management, so total traffic flow is relatively low. The basic
Ethernet configuration items are found in the Management
Interfaces (MI) Table.

The serial port is provided for user configuration. The serial
port baud rate will be kept in the MI Table.

Of primary importance in configuring the FCR200 is
determining the mode of operation required. The unit can be
configured to support Fibre Channel hosts communicating
with SCSI targets, or SCSI hosts communicating with Fibre
Channel targets. The default configuration of the unit allows
for Fibre Channel hosts to connect to SCSI targets.
Configuration is needed in some cases to modify the method
in which this occurs, as well as to support SCSI hosts
communicating with Fibre Channel targets. Other functions
and features can be configured as well, and are discussed
further in this chapter.

A typical configuration would have a Fibre Channel host
connecting via an arbitrated loop to the FCR200, with SCSI
target devices attached to the FCR200. This configuration,
using a tape library and drives, is represented in Figure 5-1.

The factory default configuration of the unit allows such a
configuration to work without further configuration in most
cases. It should, however, be recognized that more complex
installations or specific application requirements may require
one or more configuration elements to be changed from the
default settings.

Understanding the FCR200 Configuration 5-3

An understanding of the basic characteristics of Fibre
Channel and SCSI devices is recommended before
configuring the FCR200.

General Fibre Channel Configuration

On a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop, the FCR200 appears at a
single Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA). Fibre
Channel devices support two methods for obtaining an
AL_PA, these being soft or hard addressing. The FCR200 can
be configured to use soft addressing (default) or hard
addressing with a selected value.

Soft Addressing

When acquiring a soft address, the FCR200 acquires the first
available loop address starting from address 0. In this mode,
the FCR200 automatically obtains an available address and
participates on the loop, as long as there is at least one address
available on the loop that is connected to the FCR200. Fibre
Channel supports up to 126 devices on an arbitrated loop.

Hard Addressing

When acquiring a hard address, the FCR200 attempts to
acquire the AL_PA value that was specified by user
configuration. If the desired address is not available at loop
initialization time, the FCR200 comes up on the loop in non­participating mode. This allows the loop to continue to
operate, although the unit will not be accessible via the Fibre
Channel interface. This would occur when another device on
the arbitrated loop has acquired the same address as that
configured on the FCR200.

Hard addressing is recommended for environments where it
is important that the device addresses do not change. Device
address changes can affect the mapping represented by the
host operating system to the application, and have adverse
effects. An example of such an environment would be a tape
library installation, where the application configuration
requires fixed device identification for proper operation.
Hard addressing will insure that the device identification to
the application will remain constant.

5-4 Understanding the Configuration

62-9301-01

When connected to a Fibre Channel Switch, the FCR200 is
identified to the switch as a unique device by the factory
programmed World Wide Name (WWN). No further
configuration is needed, although the WWN can be
configured to a user-defined value through the configuration
interface.

General SCSI Configuration

The FCR200 appears on each SCSI bus as a single initiator. The
default initiator ID is 7, and can be set via configuration to any
valid SCSI address. No other devices on the SCSI bus may use
this address.

The FCR200 provides the capability to reset the SCSI buses
during the boot cycle. This allows the devices on a SCSI bus to
be in a known state. Configuration allows this feature to be
enabled or disabled. This feature is enabled in the default
configuration.

The FCR200 negotiates for the maximum values for transfer
rates and data width on a SCSI bus. If an attached device does
not allow the full rates, the unit will use the rates negotiated
for that device. Negotiation is on a device specific basis, so the
unit can support a mix of device types on the same bus.

Fibre Channel Host to SCSI Target
Configuration

This section describes the configuration of the FCR200 when
acting as a target to a Fibre Channel Initiator, passing FCP
requests through to SCSI target devices.

This is configured as the default, using soft addressing on the
Fibre Channel loop and auto addressing for the target device
mapping. Auto addressing is described further in this section.

The FCR200 automatically detects if it is connected to a loop
or a switch, and will use the appropriate type without further
configuration.

Address Mapping

The FCR200 supports three addressing methods for mapping
SCSI targets to Fibre Channel Hosts:

Indexed Addressing Allows you to edit and maintain a

static address mapping table.

General SCSI Configuration 5-5

Auto Addressing Automatically creates a new address

mapping table every time the
FCR200 is power cycled.

SCC Addressing Implements the SCSI-3 Controller

Commands SCSI storage array
addressing to address SCSI devices
attached to the FCR200.

Note

The SCSI bus
number
corresponds to
the physical SCSI
port on the back
of the FCR200.

Indexed Addressing

SCSI Targets are selected by mapping the appropriate values
into the FCP LUN field, and correlating a Fibre Channel LUN
value to a SCSI Bus:Target:LUN value. The FCR200 acts as a
single initiator on each SCSI bus, defaulting to ID 7. All
commands passed through to a SCSI bus originate from this
SCSI ID.

As an example, SCSI bus 0 corresponds to SCSI port 0 on the
rear of the FCR200. SCSI bus 1 corresponds to SCSI port 1.

Indexed Addressing allows for generic Fibre Channel host
bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the FCR200.
This is done by use of a table which is indexed by sequential
FCP LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN
devices.

(…) (…)

The Indexed Addressing table has the structure shown in
Table 5-1. The FCR200 will allow up to 80 device entries to be
mapped. The index table can be manually edited, and is then
saved to FLASH memory. Configuration assists allow for the
table to be filled in order of increasing target, or LUN, as may
be desired for the specific requirements needed. An assist is
also provided to perform device discovery, and fill the table in
the order that devices are discovered on a SCSI bus.

Indexed Addressing mode is recommended for environments
where device configuration may change, and a fixed mapping
from the application to the target devices is required. An
example of such an environment is where hot plug devices
may be used, thereby changing the order of devices on a SCSI
bus.

Auto Addressing

The Auto Addressing option is similar to Indexed
Addressing, but with the distinction that the table used is
created through SCSI device discovery upon power up or
reset, and not otherwise retained. As the unit performs device
discovery on a SCSI bus, the Index table is filled with adjacent
FCP LUNs referencing each subsequent SCSI device. The host
system will then detect every attached device without voids,
allowing full device discovery to the host. This allows easy
configuration in environments where device ordering is not
important, and hot plugging of SCSI devices will not occur.
Configuration allows for discovery to be performed in order
of target or LUN, as desired for the specific environment.

Auto Addressing, target mode is configured as the default
mode of the FCR200.

Auto Addressing 5-7

SCC Addressing

The FCR200 implements the SCSI-3 Controller Commands
(SCC) (X3T10 Project 1047D Revision 6b 01-July-96) SCSI
storage array addressing to address SCSI devices attached to
the FCR200. The Access Method used is the SCC Logical Unit
Addressing method.

In SCC Addressing mode, the FCR200 will respond to FCP
commands, as in a SCC controller device. A subset of the SCC
behavior is implemented. LUN mappings corresponding to
the SCC Peripheral Device Addressing are interpreted as
controller commands, and are acted on by the FCR200
directly. LUN mappings using SCC Logical Unit addressing
are routed to the appropriate SCSI BUS:TARGET:LUN and
processed accordingly.

Further description of the FCR200 implementation of SCC
addressing is in

Appendix D

.

SCSI Host to Fibre Channel Target
Configuration

This section describes the configuration of the FCR200 when
acting as a target to a SCSI Initiator, passing requests through
to Fibre Channel targets.

SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mapping is implemented in a fashion
similar to Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Indexed Addressing mode.
The FCR200 responds to commands issued to a set of
configured SCSI IDs, and maps these to Fibre Channel
AL_PA/LUN values. The following table indicates a possible
mapping for SCSI LUN to Fibre Channel AL_PA:LUN.

The Index Table is edited to represent the desired mapping,
and saved to FLASH memory.

In addition to configuring the address mapping, SCSI-to-Fibre
Channel mode requires that a SCSI interface on the FCR200 be
configured to respond to specified SCSI IDs. This is done
through the SCSI configuration menu. Target ID’s enabled for
the FCR200 must be unique on the SCSI bus, with the
exception that the initiator ID used on the FCR200 should also
be used as a single target ID. For example, in SCSI-to-Fibre
Channel mode, one of the targets must have the same ID as the
FCR200.

6-4 Configuration

62-9301-01

Host Device Configuration

The host system using a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter
(HBA) will typically map Fibre Channel devices into the
existing device mapping scheme used by that operating
system. This usually results in the Fibre Channel HBA
mapping Fibre Channel AL_PA’s to SCSI target addresses.
The HBA will claim enough SCSI bus entries to allow for 125
Fibre Channel targets to map to SCSI Bus:Target entries. This
is usually done by a fixed mapping of AL_PA to Bus:Target.
In such a configuration, the FCR200 corresponds to a
Bus:Target identifier, with the SCSI devices attached to the
FCR200 appearing as logical units (LUNs). In addition,
operating systems can extend the available SCSI limit of 15 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 are valid SCSI ID’s, and not deal
correctly with certain mappings. In particular, applications
have been seen to have difficulties addressing target ID’s
greater than 15 (e.g. 16 and up). This problem can be resolved
by configuring the FCR200 to use hard addressing, and setting
the AL_PA used by the unit to a value that the HBA will map
to an ID with a value less than 16.

For example, depending on the FC HBA, if the hard AL_PA
selection is 1, the address is 1. If the selection is 125, the
AL_PA address is 0xEF. Some FC HBA’s will configure
differently, so verify the AL_PA by toggling to hard
addressing and selecting an address.

Device Management

The FCR200 can be managed through the RS-232 port, over
Ethernet via Telnet, or via SNMP. FTP and TFTP are also
supported for firmware downloads.

Serial

The serial port allows for configuration of all device
characteristics.

Host Device Configuration 6-5

Ethernet

The 10BaseT Ethernet port must first be configured via the
serial port with an appropriate IP address and subnet mask
prior to use unless the default values are to be used. Default
values are IP address 1.1.1.1, and a subnet mask of

255.255.255.0.

SNMP

The FCR200 includes SNMP management support. SNMP is
transported via the Ethernet connection (10BaseT port).
SNMP support allows configuration and management using
any standard SNMP management tool. SNMP data is defined
in the SNMP MIB. ADIC provides a private MIB for
configuration of the FCR200. The ADIC private MIB includes
all objects configurable from the terminal user interface. The
ADIC private MIB also includes some Fibre Channel and SCSI
statistics which are not accessible via the serial interface.
SNMP support also includes Traps, which are used to notify
a SNMP management console of various conditions.

The objects defined in the ADIC private MIB are specific to the
ADIC products.

For a copy of the ADIC private MIB, contact a service
representative.

Communicating with the FCR200

The FCR200 is designed to function directly out of the
shipping container with no special configuration required.
However, you have the ability to monitor various aspects of
the FCR200’s performance by connecting a terminal or
terminal emulator to the serial port on the rear of the router.

The FCR200 is designed to communicate with any operating
system that utilizes a terminal emulator. For example, you can
use Hyperterminal on Windows NT 4.0. If your computer
uses another operating system, be sure the baud rate, data
bits, stop bits, parity, and terminal emulation are set as
specified in Table 6-1 on page 6-7.

When configuring Indexed addressing, the user is presented
a table with the current mappings. The user can then select a
table entry by FCP LUN and specify the associated
BUS:TARGET:LUN. Alternately, the user can fill with one of
multiple preset patterns, or with the list of currently attached
SCSI devices. The user then saves these values in FLASH
memory, where they are retained across future device resets
or power cycles.

Changing the Fibre Channel-to-SCSI
Mapping Mode

This option allows the user to select the appropriate Fibre
Channel-to-SCSI mapping mode on the FCR200. The options
are SCC addressing, Indexed addressing, and Auto

Download Firmware

The FCR200 uses a serial connection using the XMODEM
protocol to update the firmware. In order to update the
firmware the FCR200 must be connected to a terminal
emulation program supporting XMODEM transfers. This
menu item does not appear when accessing the configuration
menus through telnet.

From the main menu, the user must select the “Download a
new revision of the Firmware” command to start the
download procedure.

To Download Firmware

Once the message “Downloading” appears in the emulator
utility:

1 Use the Transfer→Send File option in the terminal

emulator utility.

2 Select the location of the firmware. Use the

“Browse” button, if you need help finding it.

3 Make sure you select XMODEM as the protocol.

4 Press the “Send” button.

5 The firmware will begin to download.

When the download is complete, the system verifies that the
firmware image was successfully written to the FLASH
memory and then reboots the FCR200. Upon reboot, the
FCR200 detects that there is a newly downloaded firmware
image and copies that image to the boot sector of the FLASH
and then boots with that image. At that point the FCR200 is
using the new firmware image.

The following figure shows what you might see on your
terminal when you download a new revision of the firmware:

Configuring the FCR200’s Ethernet Port

If you plan to use Ethernet to configure the FCR200, you must
first set up serial communications with the FCR200 to
configure the Ethernet port’s address.

The FCR200 provides an Ethernet port for connection to a
standard 10BaseT Ethernet network. You can use Ethernet to
perform the following activities:

• Configure the FCR200 through Telnet. The configuration
menus accessed via the serial port will be disabled when
a telnet session is connected. When logging in for a telnet
session, use “root” as the user name and “password” as
the password.

• Upgrading the FCR200’s firmware. You can use FTP or
TFTP to send a new firmware image to the FCR200.

If you plan to use the Ethernet port, you must first configure
its address. You can set the physical address, IP address, and
IP subnet mask. The physical address is assigned to an
Ethernet adapter by ADIC. The IP address is used to route
information in a TCP/IP network. The IP subnet mask is used
to establish a path to a default TCP/IP gateway.

To change the Ethernet physical address, IP address, or IP
subnet mask, select 4) Ethernet Configuration from the
Configuration menu.

SET community names as the FCR200.

IP Address for Traps

The Trap Manager IP address is the address used for sending
Traps. Typically, this is the IP address of the machine using
the Network Management Program and/or a MIB browser.

Trap Priority

The SNMP Trap Priority determines which traps will be sent
to the specified Trap IP Address. Events having a priority
equal to or higher than the configured priority will be sent
first.

7-2 Troubleshooting

62-9301-01

Troubleshooting

Various problems can arise when configuring and using the
FCR200. This section is provided to help guide the user
through some of the basic methods of identifying faults in the
setup and configuration of the unit.

Most problems are found in the initial installation. In general,
it is wise to check all connections and review the configuration
before proceeding with further trouble analysis. Simplify the
installation if possible, reducing it to the most basic
configuration then adding elements one at a time and
verifying the operation at each step.

Indicators

The LED indicators on the FCR200 are useful for diagnosing
various problems.

7-

•The Power indicator turns on when power is applied to the
router. Lack of power indication suggests the unit being
turned off, a problem with the power supplied to the unit,
or an internal problem with the unit.

•The Fault indicator is lit when the FCR200 detects a fault
condition. Faults can occur as a result of Power On Self
Test (POST) failure or operational failures. It is normal for
this indicator to flash on when the unit is powered up or
reset. If the fault indicator stays lit, contact customer
support.

•The SCSI 1 indicator shows SCSI 1 activity when lit. This
should only occur briefly during power up or
configuration, and relatively often when the unit is
transferring data. If the SCSI indicator stays continually lit
without corresponding target device activity, it may
indicate a problem with the SCSI bus configuration.
Verify the SCSI bus configuration.

•The SCSI 0 indicator shows SCSI 0 activity when lit. This
should only occur briefly during power up or
configuration, and relatively often when the unit is
transferring data. If the SCSI indicator stays continually lit
without corresponding target device activity, it may
indicate a problem with the SCSI bus configuration.
Verify the SCSI bus configuration.

Troubleshooting 7-3

•The

•The

Fibre Channel

when lit. If this indicator fails to light at all, or stays
continually lit without corresponding SCSI bus activity, it
may indicate a problem with the Fibre Channel link.
Verify the Fibre Channel Configuration.

Ethernet

If the light fails to flicker, or if it stays continually lit, it
may indicate a problem with the network connection.
Verify the network connection. The port must be
connected to a 10BaseT Ethernet network to function
properly.

Basic Verification

Verify SCSI Bus Configuration

Problems with SCSI bus configuration are common. Basic
operation of a SCSI bus can be checked by using the
configuration menu to view attached SCSI devices. See

Chapter 6

include:

for more information. Other conditions to look for

indicator shows Fibre Channel activity

indicator signifies Ethernet activity when lit.

• Termination – Problems with termination can cause
intermittent or hard failure. A SCSI bus must be
terminated on both ends, and only both ends.
Termination issues when both narrow and wide devices
are on the same bus are common.

• Bus Type – Single-Ended devices cannot be mixed with
Differential devices on the same bus. Similarly, Single­Ended terminators cannot be used on Differential buses,
and Differential terminators cannot be used on a Single­Ended bus.

• Device ID – Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique
ID. Also check the configured ID’s for the FCR200 to
verify these 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 adhered to. Connections should also
be checked and reseated if necessary.

7-4 Troubleshooting

62-9301-01

• SCSI Devices – Verify SCSI devices can be seen in the
configuration menu of the FCR200. Select “Perform
Configuration” from the first menu. Then select “Fibre
Channel to SCSI Mapping Configuration.” You must then
enter a “1” for LUN priority, “2” for Bus priority, or a “3”
for Target, in order to view the list of SCSI devices. If the
FCR200 can not see the devices, verify SCSI configuration
and cabling.

Verify Fibre Channel 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 established. Most hubs and switches have
link indicators, showing link status. When the FCR200 is
connected and powered on, this link indicator should show a
good link. If it does not, check the cabling or connections. As
a means of verifying link integrity when connected to a
functional host, disconnecting then reconnecting the Fibre
Channel cable should cause momentary activity of this
indicator as the link re-initializes. Also verify that the media
type of the FCR200 and attached hub, HBA, or switch are of
corresponding types. When using optical media, verify that
the attached device is using non-OFC type optical devices.

Verify SCSI Devices in NT

If running FC-to-SCSI mapping mode, open the NT Control
Panel, select “SCSI Adapters,” and double click on the FC
HBA. The SCSI devices should be listed.

If no devices are listed, verify the FCR200 configuration, FC
HBA configuration, and cabling.

If devices are listed, verify FC HBA mapping mode or ALPA
addresses on the FCR200.

If running SCSI-to-FC mapping mode, open the NT Control
Panel, select “SCSI adapters,” and double click on the SCSI
controller.

If no devices are listed, verify the FCR200 configuration, SCSI
Controller configuration, and cabling.

Sometimes NT may need to be rebooted with all SCSI devices
and the FCR200 left on before it will recognize the devices.

Basic Verification 7-5

Verify Configuration

A number of configuration changes may result in an invalid
configuration. If you are in doubt about the configuration,
restore the FCR200 to the factory default configuration and
proceed to configure the unit a step at a time, verifying the
functionality of the configuration as changes are made.

Verify Addressing

If working in FC-to-SCSI target mode and using Indexed or
SCC Addressing, try swapping to Auto Addressing to see if
this solves the problem.

Verify Devices

It may be useful to connect the target devices you are
attempting to use to the native interface to verify that the
devices are functional. SCSI target devices can be connected to
a host SCSI bus to verify they are functional.

Verify Host Configuration

In some cases, it may be that the host bus adapter or driver
may not be working properly. Check the configuration of
these elements. It may be useful to check the release notes for
the driver provided to see if there are any specific issues or
required configuration. It may also be useful to ensure that
you are using a current version of the host bus adapter driver.

Verify HBA Device Driver Information

Check the HBA device driver Readme file for configuration
specifics. An HBA may require a different configuration,
depending on whether it is connected to a loop or a switch.
