1 ATTO Celerity HBA Features & Overview

The ATTO Celerity Fibre Channel family of storage products provides connectivity, intelligence and scalability.

Celerity FC host adapters simplify advanced storage networking needs such as switching, backup and data management. Specifically designed to enhance the functionality of third party fabric hardware and software, Celerity FC products are the industryleading platform for storage connectivity.

Fibre Channel is a serial communications technology designed to transfer large amounts of data among a variety of hardware systems over long distances. It is a key technology for applications that require shared, high bandwidth access to storage.

Getting started

In general, to install the ATTO Celerity FC host adapter, you must:

1 Ensure you have the equipment and software

you need for the installation:

• Celerity FC adapter

• ATTO Celerity CD including drivers, user manuals and utilities (Installation CD)

• A computer with an available expansion slot

• Storage, cables and connectors

2 Install drivers from the Installation CD for your

operating system. Refer to Install Drivers page 12.

Fibre Channel provides a logical, point-to-point, serial channel for the transfer of data between a buffer at a source device and a buffer at a destination device. It moves buffer contents from one port to another, without regard to the format or meaning of the data so different upper level protocols are able to run over Fibre Channel hardware.

The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within these layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial encoding and decoding, error control, frame format and communications protocols.

3 Install the configuration software, the ATTO

Configuration Tool, found on the Installation CD.

4 Install the Celerity adapter. Refer to Hardware

Installation on page 18.

5 Attach storage. 6 If required, configure your Celerity adapter

using the ATTO Configuration Tool.

Note

Default settings are appropriate for most systems but you may change settings using the ATTO Configuration Tool.

2 Install Drivers

Before installing your Celerity adapter, you must configure your system to recognize and use it by installing drivers for your operating system.

Configure your system to recognize and use your Celerity adapter by installing drivers for your operating system.

Note

If you already have one or more Celerity adapters installed and you are installing additional adapter(s), you do not need to perform any of these procedures unless you are updating a previously installed driver.

Windows

Note

Windows 7, Vista and 2008 may utilize a new User Account Control Feature. Because of this there may be additional confirmations that will need to be performed to properly install the driver. These confirmations normally consist of a dialog where the user has to give Windows permission to perform an action. If you do not have the correct priviliges during this, you will be prompted for an actual user name and password. You may need to contact your system administrator if you do not have this information.

ATTO Celerity adapters ship with the latest firmware installed. The Celerity FC Installation CD shipped with your adapter also contains the latest driver.

The Installation CD automatically starts when inserted in the system CD-ROM drive. Navigate the easy-touse HTML-based menu to find the driver for your adapter and operating system.

The Celerity FC Installation CD referred to in these instructions can be the Installation CD shipped with your adapter, a folder containing the latest downloaded and expanded driver, a Celerity FC installation floppy disk, or a USB flash drive.

Installing a fresh copy of OS X onto a disk attached to a Celerity FC adapter (only for 8Gb FC adapters)

Note

Boot support is available on Intel-based systems only.

Note

The EFI boot driver is disabled by default. To enable it, use the ATTO Configuration Tool in an existing OS X installation, or use the EFI Configuration utility built into the EFI driver (see the procedure below for launching the utility).

Note

This is a two step process. First step is to adjust adapter settings with the EFI Configuration utility. Second step is to install the OS X onto a disk attached to the adapter. Please review thoroughly to ensure you are using the second step corresponding to the OS X version available in your system .

Adjusting adapter settings with the EFI Configuration Utility (only for 8Gb FC adapters)

Note

Depending on your configuration, it may be necessary to adjust adapter NVRAM settings prior to performing the OS X installation. For example, you may need to modify the connection mode or data rate. The EFI configuration utility can be launched from the EFI shell.

Note

An EFI shell is not included with Intel Macs. ATTO recommends rEFIt, which is available for free from Once you have downloaded the DMG or rEFIt, follow these steps to open the EFI Configuration Utility.

1 Burn the rEFIt DMG file to a CD. Do not remove

the CD. 2 Shut down the system and install the Celerity

adapter 3 With the rEFIt CD inserted, boot the system

while pressing and holding ‘C’ key. This will

boot the rEFIt CD. 4 The rEFIt boot menu will appear which contains

a series of icons. Release the ‘C’ key and use

the arrows to highlight the “Start EFI Shell” icon.

Press ‘Return’ to enter the EFI Shell. 5 At the prompt, enter the ‘driver-b’ command.

Scroll through the list of installed EFI drivers

and find the ATTO Celerity driver. There may

be more than one entry based on the number

digit hexadecimal driver handle on the far left of

the screen. 6 At the prompt, enter ‘drvcfg -s {handle}’ where

{handle} is the hexadecimal number from the

previous step. This will launch the EFI

Configuration Utility for the associated adapter. 7 Use the on-screen menus to configure your

adapter. Help is available at the bottom of the

screen. 8 When exiting the configuration utility, if you

changed any settings, the system will restart

the adapter so the new settings take effect. 9 At the prompt, enter ‘exit’ to return to the rEFIt

boot menu or ‘reset’ to restart the system.

Installing OS X Leopard or Tiger onto a disk attached to a Celerity adapter (only for 8Gb FC adapters)

Note

Due to limitations of the Mac OS X Installer, two systems are required to complete this procedure. These will be referred to as the “target” and “host” systems. The target system will contain your Celerity adapter and storage. The host system will only be used during the installation and must be an Intelbased system capable of booting the OS X installation CD. However, it does not have to be the same type of system as the target system. For example, you may use a MacBook Pro to install OS X on a Mac Pro containing your Celerity adapter. Both systems must have an available FireWire port.

1 On the target system, install the Celerity

adapter and connect your storage.

2 Connect the target and host systems with a

FireWire cable.

7 On the host system, obtain and install the latest

version of the Celerity OS X driver from the software CD that came with your adapter or the

ATTO Technology website.

8 On the host system, open System Preferences

and restore the Startup Disk to the disk that the host system booted from before performing this procedure. After restarting, you may disconnect the FireWire cable from the target system. The host system is no longer needed.

9 Power off the target system and power it back

on again normally. If you previously had an OS X installation present, it will boot that version of OS X. Otherwise, the new OS X installation will be booted.

10 On the target system, open System

Preferences and set the Startup Disk to the new OS X installation and restart.

Note

These steps assume a basic knowledge of Linux terminal commands. You must also have the correct kernel source files for the appropriate kernel already installed.

Appendix F Safety, Warranty

All ATTO host adapter products have been tested to meet applicable safety standards when operated in proper electrical and thermal environments.

Safety

Please review the specifications for your specific host adapter before installing and operating it in any computer system to ensure compatibility.

Installation

Before installing an ATTO host adapter product into your computer system, unplug the computer from its electrical power source and allow adequate time for electrical discharge and the internal components to cool down before removing the computer system cover. This will decrease the risk of personal injury from electrical shock or touching the hot surface of an electrical component.

Once an ATTO host adapter is installed in a computer system, the computer cover must be reinstalled properly before turning the computer system back on.

Operation

ATTO host adapters require adequate cooling to function properly. If you have any questions as to the airflow provided by your computer system, please refer to your computer system manual or contact your computer system manufacturer.

To facilitate proper air circulation, ATTO host adapters should never be operated in a computer system without the cover installed or with an inoperable fan as this may cause safety or thermal problems which could damage the ATTO host adapter and void the warranty.
