1.0 Installing the ATTO FibreBridge

The ATTO FibreBridge family of products provides Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges as standard PCI boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rack mount integration, or desktop units, depending on the model and your needs.

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

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.

All ATTO FibreBridge

models can be used in a SAN (Storage Area Network) to connect a variety of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to meet your needs.

A SAN is a shared storage architecture connecting computers and storage devices for online data access. Each connected system can directly access any attached storage device. Storage devices

could include RAID, tape backup, tape library, CD-ROM library or JBOD.

SANs maintain greater fault tolerance and load balancing by supporting server clustering and failover (the ability for one server to take over for another in the event of a failure).

The ATTO FibreBridge provides the interface between SCSI and Fibre Channel resources in SANs. Possible configurations depend upon your current hardware and what you need to do.

The ATTO FibreBridge family of products shares common configuration options and functions to provide the most versatile connectivity options available. Each product has been engineered to address specific customer needs. New capabilities are integrated into products throughout the FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them into your SAN (see Updating firmware on page

79). To make sure you have the most up-to-date

version of the firmware, visit the ATTO Technology website,

www.attotech.com

All ATTO FibreBridge models are operating system independent and include full duplex mode, Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect capabilities.

1.1 Cabling

ATTO FibreBridge SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN). Use an Ethernet connection to use the ATTO ExpressNAV interface (not available for the FibreBridge 1180).

Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both ends with the proper connectors.

SCSI port connections

The FibreBridge supports a wide variety of SCSI storage devices including stand-alone drives, removable drives, JBODs, tape, CD and DVD drives, changers, libraries and magneto optical drives.

Each SCSI port is totally independent from the other SCSI port. Each bus may support up to 15 devices and each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the appropriate sync rates with the connected devices. If slower devices are mixed with faster devices, the bus will communicate at the rate of the slowest device.

Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and faster devices to the other port.

Connect a SCSI connector from the SCSI device to a SCSI port on the FibreBridge.

Serial port connections

The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote service operations over the RS-232 serial port using standard terminal emulation software available with most systems.

Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial port and one of the computer's serial COM ports.

A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter may be needed depending on the cables being used.

Ethernet connections

This section does not apply to the ATTO FibreBridge 1180.

The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides remote monitoring and management using the ATTO ExpressNAV interface.

When you connect an Ethernet cable between the FibreBridge and a 10/100Base-T connection, you may need a crossover cable connecting directly to a computer. The ATTO FibreBridge will auto detect the Ethernet speed by default.

Installation: Fibre Channel ports

Page 16

1.1.1 Using the Ethernet port

The easiest way to communicate with the ATTO FibreBridge is to use the browser-based interface, ATTO ExpressNAV. Your FibreBridge must be recognized by the network by finding or assigning it an IP address. ATTO ExpressNAV is not available for the ATTO FibreBridge 1180.

FibreBridge 2400

The FibreBridge 2400 is set up by default to request an IP address from a DHCP server. If you do not have a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to devices, get an IP address from your network administrator and continue with the section Other

models (except FB 1180, 2400)

When using DHCP, the QuickNAV utility, from the CD included with your FibreBridge, finds your FibreBridge on your network.

2.0 Interfaces

FibreBridge Services interfaces include ATTO ExpressNAV, a menu system, Command Line Interface (CLI) or ATTO BridgeTools. ATTO ExpressNAV is not available for the ATTO FibreBridge 1180 which uses the graphical interface ATTO BridgeTools.

ATTO FibreBridge Services includes displaying and modifying various attributes of FibreBridge operation, as well as the update of firmware.

The best interface is ATTO ExpressNAV, a browser-based graphical interface for all FibreBridge models except the FibreBridge 1180. Use ATTO BridgeTools for the FibreBridge 1180.

You might use the command line interface (CLI) or menu system, depending on your operating system, what you want to accomplish, the method you are using to access FibreBridge Services, and your FibreBridge model. The menu system is not available for the ATTO FibreBridge 2400.

Access FibreBridge Services through the Ethernet port, the RS-232 serial port or the Fibre Channel port (see Configuring the FibreBridge

on page

64).

ATTO ExpressNAV interface

ATTO ExpressNAV is a monitoring and configuration tool accessible through the Ethernet port and a web browser. Platform independent, ExpressNAV contains all the current capabilities of the CLI in a user-friendly GUI interface.

A diagram showing each port in the product faceplate is clickable and takes you to the appropriate page. A menu also provides access to various pages for information and configuration operations.Refer to ATTO ExpressNAV interface on page 31 for more information on the program.

2.4 In-band CLI: SCSI over Fibre Channel

In-band Command Line Interface (CLI) configures and manages the ATTO FibreBridge using SCSIbased CLI commands over a Fibre Channel port connection. This feature is not available for the FibreBridge 2400.

Note

The recommended management tool for the all models of the FibreBridge except the FB 1180 is the ATTO ExpressNAV interface. Refer to

ATTO ExpressNAV interface

31.The recommended management tool for the FibreBridge 1180 is ATTO BridgeTools. Refer to on page 35

ATTO BridgeTools for FB1180 only

on page

In-band CLI allows you to configure the FibreBridge while it is moving data. Using a programmer’s interface, ATTO FibreBridge Services CLI commands, as described previously in this manual, may be implemented. The only command not available is

menu.

In-band CLI is implemented as a device separate from the FibreBridge itself. It uses a different LUN than the FibreBridge, and reports as a Storage Enclosure Services (SES) device (device type 0x0D). This LUN is referred to as the ServicesLUN.

The ServicesLUN is visible on all Fibre ports but is actually a single unit. The default Fibre LUN for each Fibre port’s ServicesLUN is 0x08.

The ServicesLUN must be reserved for each Write Buffer/Read Buffer pair, using the SCSI

Reserve

command to insure integrity of the in-

band CLI session.

Process X has the configuration reserved. ID of this session = Y Ready.

2 The initiator issues a SCSI WriteBuffer (buffer

ID = 0) command to the ServicesLUN. A WriteBuffer command must be accompanied by an ASCII buffer representing the CLI command string such as

set FibreBridgeName FB2300

3 The ServicesLUN will execute the command

line and create feedback in the form of ASCII characters into a buffer. This buffer is 8KB and circular. Retrieve the results by issuing a

ReadBuffer command before issuing another WriteBuffer command.

4 A subsequent WriteBuffer command will

execute the new command line and overwrite the previous results in the buffer with new results.

5 The ServicesLUN can be released by issuing a

SCSI Release command to the Services LUN after each Write/Read Buffer pair, or multiple Write/Read Buffer pairs.

Initiator (Host) FibreBridge

Reserve ServicesLUN return: “ok”

Write Buffer

ServicesLUN

bid 0

executes the CLI command, stores output in buffer

1 An initiator (host) sends a SCSI Reserve

command to the ServicesLUN.

• If the ServicesLUN is not reserved by another initiator, the ServicesLUN is now reserved and ready to begin a new CLI session.

• If the FibreBridge configuration is reserved by a different CLI session (i.e. serial or Telnet), the in-band session will not be allowed to modify the FibreBridge configuration. If you try, the results buffer of the ServicesLUN will return

bid 0

Release ServicesLUN return: “ok”

return: “SerialPortBaudRate=960 0\W\

Page 49

I/O details

The buffer sent to the Services LUN during the data out phase of a

Write Buffe

r command must

• ASCII data

• maximum 80 bytes length

• terminated with either a carriage return character (0x0D), line feed character (0x0A) or NULL character (0x00)

• Characters following the first carriage return character, line feed character or NULL character are ignored.

The buffer retrieved from the Services LUN during the data-in phase of a Read Buffer command will be

• ASCII data

• maximum 8 KBytes (8192 bytes) in length

• terminated with a NULL character (0x00)

• Characters following the NULL character are meaningless.

A CHECK_CONDITION, INVALID_PARAMETER

_IN_CDB

will be returned to an initiator that specifies an incorrect Buffer ID, Mode, Length or Buffer Offset. The Mode is always Data (0x2), the Buffer ID is always 0 and the Buffer Offset is always 0.

2.5 Command Line Interface use and guidance

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO FibreBridge Services through a set of ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

FibreBridge Services provide configuration and monitoring for the FibreBridge. The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based commands which perform these tasks. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

• CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a standard format

[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]

followed by the return or enter key

• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may type all upper or all lower case or a mixture. Upper and lower case in this manual and the help screen are for clarification only.

• Commands generally have three types of operation: get, set and immediate.

• The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is an informational command.

• Responses to get commands are followed by Ready.

Exhibit 2.5-1 Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to indicate functions and elements of the command line interface used in this manual.

Command conventions

• The set form is an action that changes the value of a parameter or configuration setting. It may require a SaveConfiguration command and a restart of the system before it is implemented. The restart can be accomplished as part of the SaveConfiguration command or by using a separate FirmwareRestart command. A number of set commands may be issued before the SaveConfiguration command.

• Responses to set commands are either an error message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates you must use a SaveConfiguration command to finalize the set command. SaveConfiguration will ask if you want to restart the system or not.

• Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command, defined as immediate commands, are immediately executed.

• Responses to Immediate commands are either an error message or data results followed by

Ready.

When enabled, a designated FC port is marked as reserved and becomes active only if a port fails. If a failure occurs, the failover port takes on the identity of the failed port. If enabled, all device maps on the designated failover port will be deleted.

FcWWName

Reports the Word Wide Name (WWN) of the FC interface. Each FC port has an individual and unique WWN. The least significant 6 bits of the WWN are used as the Ethernet MAC address. Fabric and loop operations are unpredictable if duplicate WWNs are assigned.

3.0 Configuring the FibreBridge

To configure the ATTO FibreBridge through FibreBridge Services, use ATTO ExpressNAV (a browserbased graphical user interface) for all models except the FibreBridge 1180. Use ATTO BridgeTools to configure the FibreBridge 1180. Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be modified.

ATTO FibreBridge Services includes the means to display and modify various attributes of FibreBridge operation, as well as to update firmware. The best way to access FibreBridge Services for all models except the FibreBridge 1180 is to use ATTO ExpressNAV, a browserbased graphical interface. Refer to AT T O

ExpressNAV interface on page 31. ATTO

BridgeTools provides a graphical interface for the FibreBridge 1180. Refer to ATTO BridgeTools

for FB1180 only on page 35.

Other methods are also available depending on your FibreBridge model, your operating system, what you want to accomplish, and the method you are using to access FibreBridge Services. Refer to

Using the serial port on page 7.

To use ATTO ExpressNAV you must know the IP address for the FibreBridge. Refer to Using the

Ethernet port on page 5.

After getting an IP address and entering ATTO ExpressNAV, or using ATTO BridgeTools for the FibreBridge 1180 model, you must map devices so that the FibreBridge can access the devices in your network. (Refer to Mapping

Additionally, it is best practice to change the default username and password. Refer to Optional

configurations on page 75.

Several Fibre Channel hosts or initiators may initiate commands through the FibreBridge to SCSI devices. The basic mechanism to resolve possible conflicts among initiators is to use SCSI Reserve and Release commands. For details, refer to Handling multiple initiators on page 65.

3.0.1 Handling multiple initiators

Several Fibre Channel hosts or initiators may initiate commands through the FibreBridge to SCSI devices. The basic mechanism to resolve possible conflicts among initiators is to use SCSI

Release

commands.

Reserve

and

A Fibre Channel host may need exclusive access to a SCSI device. SCSI

Reserve

and

Release

commands allow logical units to be reserved or released under host control.

The FibreBridge intercepts any Reserve or Release command from a Fibre Channel host, performs initial processing and, if appropriate, relays the Reserve command to the SCSI device.

In a FibreBridge environment, the identity of the initiator (WWN) is not relayed to the SCSI device. A two-step process addresses initiator identity in the FibreBridge, and reserves the SCSI device on behalf of the FibreBridge.

Initiators on both the Fibre Channel (via the FibreBridge) and on the SCSI bus may initiate reserve and release commands to the SCSI devices.

The FibreBridge processing of reserve and release commands involves two tiers of verification. The first tier is within the FibreBridge; the second tier is within the SCSI device.

General verification procedure

1 The FibreBridge receives a SCSI Reserve

command.

Tier 1

2 The FibreBridge determines, via its internal

database, whether there are conflicting concurrent reservations from Fibre Channel hosts for the target SCSI device.

3 If there is a conflict, the FibreBridge returns a

check condition with reservation conflict to the initiator.

4 If there is no conflict, the FibreBridge marks the

SCSI device as reserved in its internal database.

Tier 2

5 The FibreBridge relays the Reserve command

to the SCSI device.

6 The SCSI device determines whether it is

already reserved.

7 If the SCSI device is already reserved, it returns

a reservation conflict to the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge removes its reserved indicator in its internal database, and returns reservation conflict to the initiator.

8 If the SCSI device was not previously reserved,

the SCSI device is reserved and returns success to the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge then returns success to the initiator.

The FibreBridge does not implement extent reservation.

Single initiator

A single initiator presents no conflicts.

1 A single Fibre Channel initiator sends the

Reserve command through the SAN to the FibreBridge

2 The FibreBridge determines that no reservation

conflict exists at Tier 1.

3 The FibreBridge sends the Reserve command

to the SCSI target.

4 The SCSI target is reserved until a Release

command is sent by the Fibre Channel initiator.

Multiple Fibre Channel initiators

Multiple Fibre Channel initiators share a Fibre Channel connection on the SAN with a Fibre Bridge, and there are no other initiators on the SCSI bus.

1 Fibre Channel Initiator 1 sends the Reserve

command through the SAN to the FibreBridge.

2 The FibreBridge determines that no reservation

conflict exists at Tier 1.

3 The FibreBridge records the initiator ID (WWN)

in its internal database.

4 The FibreBridge sends the Reserve command

to the SCSI target.

5 The initiator is notified of reservation success:

the SCSI target is reserved.

6 Fibre Channel Initiator 2 sends the Reserve

command through the SAN to the FibreBridge.

7 The FibreBridge determines the SCSI device is

already reserved.

8 The FibreBridge rejects Fibre Channel Initiator

2’s command and returns reservation conflict.

9 The SCSI target remains reserved until a

Release command is sent by Fibre Channel Initiator 1.

3 The FibreBridge records the initiator ID (WWN)

in its internal database.

4 Fibre Bridge 1 sends the Reserve command to

the SCSI target.

5 The initiator is notified of reservation success:

the SCSI target is reserved.

6 Fibre Channel Initiator 3 sends the Reserve

command through the SAN to FibreBridge 2.

7 FibreBridge 2 determines that no reservation

conflict exists at Tier 1.

8 FibreBridge 2 records the initiator ID (WWN) in

its internal database.

9 FibreBridge 2 sends the Reserve command to

the same SCSI target.

10 The SCSI target is already reserved by

FibreBridge 1 and rejects FibreBridge 2’s reserve command.

11 SCSI Target returns reservation conflict to

FibreBridge 2.

12 FibreBridge 2 removes its internal reserve

indicator for the initiator.

13 FibreBridge 2 returns reservation conflict to

Fibre Channel Initiator 3.

14 The SCSI target remains reserved by Fibre

Channel Initiator 1.

3.1 Mapping

The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Using ExpressNAV for all models except the FibreBridge 1180 is the easiest way to connect SCSI devices to the Fibre Channel loop or fabric. Use BridgeTools for the FibreBridge 1180.

To understand more about mapping, refer to

Route addressing on page 69, Static device addressing on page 71, and Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only on page 73.

Use ExpressNAV (except FB1180)

For all models except the FibreBridge 1180, use the ExpressNAV interface to map devices automatically.

1 If not already connected, enter the ExpressNAV

interface.

2 From the ExpressNAV main menu, click on the

Mapping menu item on the left side of the screen.

3Click AutoMap

All the CLI commands necessary to enable mapping and the command saveconfiguration norestart will be performed.

For greater flexibility map devices manually.

1 From the ExpressNAV main menu, click on the

Mapping menu item on the left side of the screen.

2 Select the devices from the box on the right

hand side of the screen and drag to the appropriate LUN on the left.

3Click Submit. All the CLI commands necessary

to enable mapping and the command saveconfiguration norestart will be performed.

Note

If you have a FibreBridge 2400 and choose to use Logical Unit Addressing as defined in

Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only

on page 73, you cannot use ExpressNAV. Use

the Command Line Interface commands and refer to

Using the serial port

on page 7.

Use BridgeTools (FB 1180)

To map devices on the FibreBridge 1180 automatically, use the Mapping Panel of the ATTO BridgeTools interface.

1 Launch BridgeTools (refer to the Installation

and Operations Manual for BridgeTools.) 2 Open the Mapping panel. 3 The Device window will be empty. Click the

Scan button at the bottom to instruct the bridge

to detect all connected SCSI targets.

Information for each SCSI target found will be

displayed in a row within the window, including

the make and model of the device, the SCSI

connected to, and the Target ID and LUN the

device is physically set to.

Each detected SCSI target will be assigned a

LUN and will be mapped to the Fibre Channel

port(s) by BridgeTools. 4 Select the Apply button to make the changes

take effect.

If there is an error with the mappings (for

example, two targets were assigned the same

LUN on the same Fibre port), BridgeTools will

3.1.1 Route addressing

The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI devices to participate in a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Fibre Channel and parallel SCSI use different models to address devices. The FibreBridge translates between these addressing models.

Arbitrated Loop Port Address (AL_PA)

On a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, the FibreBridge appears at a single Arbitrated Loop Port Address (AL_PA). Each device on an arbitrated loop is assigned a unique AL_PA during loop initialization. The FibreBridge supports both modes of AL_PA assignment, commonly referred to as hard and soft addressing.

Soft addressing

allows the loop initialization master to assign the FibreBridge a unique AL_PA during the loop initialization process. The AL_PA assigned cannot be determined before loop initialization. For example, adding new devices to an arbitrated loop may change the AL_PA assigned to the FibreBridge.

Hard addressing

allows a predetermined AL_PA to be assigned to the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge will try to acquire the desired hard AL_PA. If another device has already been assigned the specified AL_PA, the FibreBridge will acquire a currently unassigned AL_PA.

Fibre Channel World Wide Name (WWN)

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) assigns each manufacturer a unique Company ID. The Device ID field contains a unique value assigned by ATTO Technology to every Fibre Channel product produced by ATTO Technology.

Each Fibre Channel device is assigned a unique World Wide Name (WWN). The WWN identifies

ATTO Technology Inc. FibreBridge Installation and Operation Manual

The default mode is soft addressing.

Addressing devices

SCSI devices connected to the FibreBridge also show up as Fibre Channel LUNs to the host computer. SCSI devices must be on the same addressing level as the SCSI portion of the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge SCSI ID must be set to a different SCSI ID from the other devices on the same bus.

Page 81

Manual SCSI device route mapping

Manual mapping allows you to maximize the efficiency of your SCSI devices while allowing greater flexibility.

Using the CLI, you can ask the FibreBridge to find all the SCSI devices on its SCSI bus. With this information you then decide where you want to place these devices. Refer to Command Line

Interface use and guidance on page 39.

In the chart below, the SCSI device on SCSI bus 0 at SCSI address of ID 0 LUN 0 is being mapped to Fibre Port 0 (on the FibreBridge) at Fibre Channel LUN 4.

ATTO ExpressNAV and ATTO BridgeTools make manual mapping easy. For more information, refer to Mapping on page 67.

You may also map SCSI devices manually by using the Command Line Interface RouteXXX family of commands.The RouteXxxxx and AutoMap commands provide the mechanism to map Fibre Channel Port/LUN to SCSI bus/target/LUN.

AutoMap

establishes a default mapping of Fibre

ports and Fibre LUNs, and the RouteXxxxx

commands manage the mapping, including display of current mapping and modification.

RouteDisplay

displays the current mapping, in Fibre port, Fibre LUN order, showing the mapped SCSI bus/target/LUN, and the current status of the device (online, offline, unavailable, going offline). RouteDisplay may be used at any time.

RouteOffline, RouteChange, RouteOnline

(not available on the FibreBridge 2400) modify the mapping as required (e.g. to make a device inaccessible, to replace a non-functioning mapped unit with another, to manage wear on tape drives).

Before modifying a map, set it

RouteOffline

command. This process notifies

the FibreBridge to stop accepting SCSI commands (e.g. data transfers, inquiry, etc.) for the mapped device.

The

RouteOffline

command takes effect in two

stages

1 The device is marked Going Offline, indicating

the FibreBridge will complete any current SCSI commands for the mapped device, and will reject any subsequent SCSI commands for that device.

2 When all current SCSI commands for the

device are complete, the device status transitions to Offline, and the FibreBridge rejects any subsequent SCSI commands for that device.

After the device is

command to review the

changes before setting the affected devices online.

When all changes are complete and correct, use the

RouteOnline

command to set devices online. It is not necessary to set all mapped devices online: SCSI commands sent to offline devices are rejected.

Appendix A shows the sequence of AutoMap and

RouteXxxxx commands.

3.1.2 Static device addressing

Static device addressing presents internal devices and external SCSI devices as a Fibre Channel LUN to a host. All ports on the FibreBridge use the same Fibre Channel node name, but each port has a unique Fibre Channel port name.

AddressMap C

is a CLI command which uses static device addressing rather than route mapping to present internal devices and external SCSI devices as a Fibre Channel LUN to a host. All ports on the FibreBridge use the same Fibre Channel node name, but each port has a unique Fibre Channel port name.

The FibreBridge appears as a single Fibre Channel device. All devices are available on the Fibre Channel port at the same LUN as follows

Peripheral Device Addressing (internal FB LUNs)

BIT76543210

LUN BYTE 0 0 0 Bus Identifier

LUN BYTE 1 Target/LUN

Logical Device Addressing (external SCSI devices)

The Fibre Channel port will report a particular device (both internal and SCSI) at the same LUN. The LUNs reported to a host in response to a

3.1.3 Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only

The FibreBridge 2400 may be configured to take advantage of Logical Unit Addressing using the Command Line ASCII-based interface.

In standard device mapping and formatting, as described in Static device addressing on page 71, target devices are only visible if you have mapped them specifically to Fibre Channel ports. You may use ATTO ExpressNAV to map devices as described in Mapping on page 67.

If you enable Logical Unit Addressing through the Command Line Interface (refer to Using the

serial port on page 7), a scan is performed when

power is applied to the system and a list is made of all devices. All target devices are visible to all Fibre Channel ports, with each port sharing a common Fibre Channel node name.

One advantage to this method is that you can enable port failover in which a designated Fibre Channel port is marked as

reserve

and becomes

active only if another port fails.

To enable Logical Unit Addressing, use the CLI and, at the

Advanced diagnostics and SNMP protocol

This feature is not available for the ATTO FibreBridge 1180 or the FibreBridge 2400.

Remote system monitoring is available using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). An agent resides in the FibreBridge which takes information from the FibreBridge and translates it into a form compatible with SNMP. If certain conditions arise, the agent sends asynchronous notifications (traps) to a client.

Refer to Diagnostic commands on page 46 for complete information on these commands.

4.0 Serverless backup support

Serverless Backup is an application that allows data to be copied between two storage devices (Fibre Channel disks, SCSI disks and SCSI tapes) with minimal intervention from a server. Serverless backup is not available for the FibreBridge 2400.

As the volume of data on a network grows, the resources required to back up this data also grow. Data protection requires that large volumes of data be copied from on-line storage devices to dedicated archive devices which places a heavy load on the host processors, I/O busses, memory busses, and front-end network.

Serverless Backup uses the Extended Copy command compliant with T10/99-143rl to allow a copy manager (the FibreBridge) to execute all of the read and write operations necessary to move data. Blocks of data are moved directly from the Fibre Channel storage through the bridge to SCSI tape or from SCSI storage through the bridge to the SCSI tape, all at Fibre Channel and SCSI speeds.

The ATTO FibreBridge will execute Extended Copy commands to and from SCSI tape drives connected directly to the FibreBridge. The hard drives you are backing up or restoring to can be anywhere on the Storage Area Network, including SCSI drives attached to the bridge. The Extended Copy command contains target and segment descriptors used to define which data is to be moved between which devices.

Target Descriptors allow the host to describe the devices involved in the Extended Copy. To be compatible with all copy agent application packages, the FibreBridge implementation supports World Wide Name, N_Port ID, and WWN plus N_Port ID descriptor types.

Segment Descriptors describe the data to copy and how much of it to copy. The FibreBridge supports the two most common types of Segment Descriptors,

block (disk) to stream (tape)

and

stream (tape) to block (drive)

descriptors:

inline to stream,

block to block, stream to stream,

and

stream to discard.

and the following

The FibreBridge will support copying up to 830 MB of data in a single Extended Copy command. Larger files must be backed up or restored using additional operations. The bridge can support up to eight simultaneous Extended Copy commands.

How it works

1 A copy agent on the server provides a user

interface to begin a backup or restore operation as well as manage and synchronize the movement of data sets. This copy agent is either included or available as an add-on with many high-end tape backup software applications on the market.

2 The server sends a single Extended Copy

command to the FibreBridge or to a SCSI device beyond the bridge.

3 The bridge interprets the segment descriptors

and issues read commands to the appropriate devices.

4 Once enough data is read, the bridge will issue

write commands to the appropriate device.

5 Once all of the segment descriptors have been

executed, the bridge will send status to the copy agent running in the server. The data never passes through the server, thus freeing the CPU and Memory to process other requests.

Further results of FCC Testing

In certain instances, extraordinary variances in the AC power supplied to this unit will require the operating system's normal error recovery procedure to retry the current SCSI command. In this case, the unit can fully recover with no loss of data, and without user intervention. Note that other exceptional conditions in addition to variances in the AC power, such as improper cabling or unrecognized commands, may also trigger these normal error recovery procedures.
