Overview
Chapter 1
Introduction
This is a brief introduction to the 64-bit PCI-to-Fibre Channel Host Bus
Adapter (HBA) and includes:
■ Specifications for major functional characteristics
■ The standards with which the HBA complies
■ The agency approvals granted to the HBA
These three topics are preceded by a brief product description.
Product Description
The HBA has the following characteristics:
■ Single-slot PCI bus expansion board that interfaces a PCI bus to a fibre
channel device (see Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1).
■ Embedded optical short-wave laser, single-mode fibre channel interface.
■ Supports 32-bit and 64-bit PCI transfers as a bus master during Direct
Memory Access (DMA) transfers and 16-bit transfers as a slave during
Processor Input/Output (PIO) operations.
1-2 Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter User Guide
Designed using a single custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit
■
(ASIC). The custom ASIC implements a very high performance, multiclass, multi-protocol fibre channel host adapter with a 64-bit PCI bus
connection in a single chip.
■ Supports a full-duplex fibre channel connection at full-link bandwidth
providing a total throughput of greater than 2 Gbits/sec.
■ Controlled by a 233 MHz, 32-bit Intel StrongARM RISC processor.

Recording Reference Numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash
memory. Fibre channel industry standards issue two unique identifiers:
WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is
derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create
the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies
an HBA on a FC circuit.
Recording the Address and Serial Number
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record
the addresses on the lines below for future reference.
IEEE address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA into a Computer
Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
Installation 2-3
WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.
1. Make sure the computer is powered down and the AC power cord is
disconnected.
2. Remove the screws on the computer cover, and then remove the cover.
3. Remove the blank panel from an empty 32- or 64-bit PCI bus slot.
4. Insert the HBA into the empty PCI bus slot; press firmly until it is
seated securely.
5. Secure the HBA mounting bracket to the computer panel with the panel
screws.
6. Replace the computer cover and secure it using the previously removed
screws.

Verifying the Installation
To verify the HBA is properly installed and is operating:
1. Connect the computer AC power cord and then turn the computer on.
2. At power up, observe the POST LED indicators on the HBA. The
position of the Post LED indicators is defined in Figure 1-1 and Table 11 of this manual. The green LED indicates power functions and the
yellow LED signifies port activity. The Yellow LED blinks at all times
during normal operation. Table 2-1 lists normal LED indications.

Tru64Unix Driver and Console Software
The HBA driver is built into the Tru64Unix operating systems and supported
by Console software. For the supported versions of Tru64Unix operating
systems and Console software, consult the HBA Release Notes included in this
documentation package. Release notes are updated periodically and can be
obtained from the Compaq website:
http://www.compaq.com/products/storageworks/adapters.html
Drill down through Services and Support to Adapter Support.
See the documentation specific to your platform for detailed information on
installing the appropriate operating system and Console software.
-SHOW ADAPTER / -SET ADAPTER Commands
V5.6 SRM console and higher revisions have the capability of setting an HBA
to run in arbitrated loop mode or in fabric (switch) mode. If an HBA in loop
mode is connected to a switch, the results are unpredictable. The same is true
for an HBA in fabric mode that is connected to a loop. By default, the console
assumes a fabric topology. The SET ADAPTER command stores the selected
topology into the NVRAM storage on the HBA. If the HBA is moved from
one AlphaServer to another, this setting stays with the HBA. The V5.6 or
greater supports the FCAL (loop) topology. A setting of loop is a valid setting
in V5.6, however, that setting prompts the console driver not to run.
Refer to the WWIDGR manual at the following location for detailed
information on the – SHOW ADAPTER and – SET ADAPTER commands:
http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/Alpha/firmware/v5.6/doc/wwidmgr.pdf
NOTE: In order for the – SHOW ADAPTER and – SET ADAPTER commands to be accepted
by the system, the console must first be set to diagnostic mode (set mode diag).
Device Driver Installation 3-5
-SHOW ADAPTER Command
The HBA configuration can be displayed with the command (see Figures 3-1
and 3-2):
WWIDMGR-SHOW ADAPTER
P00>>>wwidmgr-show adapter

kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 – Nvram read failed

[1] kgpsab0.0.0.8.6 1000-0000-c921-027a loop unavail
[9999] All of the above.
Figure 3-1. – SHOW ADAPTER with an unformatted NVRAM
In Figure 3-1, note the warning message “ Nvram Read Failed.” This indicates
that the NVRAM on the HBA has not been initialized and formatted. This is
expected and can be corrected by issuing a – SET ADAPTER command as
described in the next section.
LP00>>>wwidmgr-show adapter

[9999] All of the above.
Figure 3-2. – SHOW ADAPTER display
Figure 3-2 shows a display from WWIDMGR-SHOW ADAPTER where there
are two HBAs in the system. See the following for a detailed look at a line
item:
[0] kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 1000-0000-c921-05ab fabric fabric
■ [0] − Item Number. The bracketed value is used as a parameter to the
–item qualifier in the WWIDMGR-SET ADAPTER command. You can
select which HBA to configure by its item number. An item number of
9999 selects all HBAs.
■ Kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 − Adapter Mnemonic. Error messages and displays use
this identifier.
■ 1000-0000-c920-05ab − WWN of the HBA. This value is used to
identify the HBA to other nodes on the fibre channel link.
3-6 Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter User Guide
Fabric − Current Topology. This value is either fabric or loop. It
■
indicates the mode in which the HBA is operating currently, during this
WWIDMGR session. The current mode in which the HBA is running is
not altered during a WWIDMGR session.
■ Fabric − Next Topology. This value can be fabric, loop, or unavail. It
indicates the topology setting that is in the HBA’s NVRAM. An unavail
setting indicates the NVRAM is not formatted, a condition corrected by
a – SET ADAPTER command. A setting of fabric or loop indicates how
the HBA is configured the next time the system is initialized.
■ – SET ADAPTER – A WWIDMGR-SET ADAPTER command is used
to format the HBA NVRAM and to configure an HBA to run on a loop
or a fabric. The command format is:
wwidmgr-set adapter -item<itemno> -topo<fabricIloop>
where itemno is the bracketed value from the – SHOW ADAPTER
command. In Figure 3-3, you can change all HBA’s from fabric to loop
by specifying an itemno value of 9999. The init is shown at the end to
emphasize that the setting in the running HBA is not changed until the
next initialization.
