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: __________________________________________________

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

[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.

Introduction
The Power-On Self Test (POST), valid for Windows NT, Tru64Unix, and
OpenVMS operating systems and the Windows NT System Event Logger
(Viewer) are troubleshooting utilities for the 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel
Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This chapter explains the use of these utilities in
the event of an HBA problem.
POST Conditions and Results
Chapter 4
Troubleshooting
Table 4-1 lists the HBA LED states with descriptions of each. . The position
of the Post LED indicators is defined in Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 of this
manual.
If the LEDs indicate a failure during POST:
1. Make sure that the HBA is seated firmly in the PCI slot.
2. Verify that the fibre cable connection to the HBA is secure.

The Windows NT Event Viewer
The Windows NT SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If
there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the
Windows NT System Event Logger (Viewer).
Following is the procedure for viewing the Windows NT error log.
From the Main menu:
1. Double click or select the Administrative Tools program group.
2. Double click or select the Event Viewer. The display shows a list of
discrete events specifying the source name LP8NDS35 (NT SCSI
driver).
3. Double click any event with the source name LP8NDS35.
4. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.
5. Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low
byte with the error found in Table 4-2, Windows NT SCSI Port Error
Log. Tables 4-3 and 4-4 list CmdStat values and Parameter error
values.
Windows NT Miniport Event Log Codes
The Windows NT Miniport driver can log events/errors in the Windows NT
event log. Serious errors will always be logged. Informational events will
only be logged if the registry parameter LogError=1 is used.
All Miniport logged events are issued with an Event ID of 11 (INTERNAL
ADAPTER ERROR) but do not necessarily indicate an HBA error occurred.
Byte offset 0x10 of the event is the driver event code. Byte offsets 0x11 to
0x13 contain event specific information.

Windows NT SCSI Address Mapping
The driver emulates six SCSI buses per HBA to map all 126 possible AL_PA
to Target IDs.
continued
The first bus is a dummy bus used to delay the Windows NT initial inquiry
scan until after discovery completes. The 31 target IDs per bus (Windows NT
requires the initiator to consume one of the IDs, we use #31) are then mapped
to either ascending or descending SEL_IDs (based on the ScanDown registry
parameter).
NOTE: The first bus will be utilized if the parameter MapBus0=1 is used.
Fabric Device Mapping
In a fabric (switched) environment, devices are initially created based on the
order that they are returned from the Simple Name Server (SNS). Once
created (at boot), the devices continue to be tracked based on:
– WWPN: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0
– NodeName: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1
– D_ID: HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=don’t care)
Private Loop Device Mapping
In a private loop environment (FCAL, no switch), devices are initially created
based on a fixed address ordering. Once created (at boot), the devices
continue to be tracked based on:
– WWPN: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0
– NodeName: HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1
– D_ID: HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=don’t care)
This section identifies the initial fixed mapping between the Windows NT
bus/target/lun and a fibre channel native address (AL_PA/SEL_ID). There are
two potential mappings based on a registry parameter [ScanDown=0 (driver
default); use *, ScanDown=1;].
The index into Table 4-5 can be derived by:
#define TARGETS_PER_BUS 32
i = (Srb->PathId > 0) ? Srb->PathId-1 : 0; //Bus 0 = dummy bus nodeInx = ((I *
(TARGETS_PER_BUS-1)) + Srb->TargetId;

contains the LP8ldr.exe file. To start LP8ldr.exe program from a Console CD
under the Alpha Server 8x00 series ARC emulator, issue the following
commands.
1. Set console serial.
2. Set arc_enable on.
3. Set Console_mode advanced.
4. Perform a system initialization.
Firmware and Diagnostic Utility 5-9
5. Run iso9660:[utility]lp8ldr.exe – d dkd400 – p 2
Where – d = CD-ROM Device (at the SRM prompt type “ show dev” to
display the value for your systems CD-ROM)
-p = the PCI bus number where the HBAs are located. If you choose to
download the firmware, all HBAs on the PCI bus specified by the – P
parameter will be programmed with the version of firmware contained
in the LP8ldr.exe file.
For AS8200 systems with HBAs installed on multiple PCI busses, it is
necessary to run the LP8ldr Utility once for each PCI bus that has an
HBA to be upgraded. Therefore if your system has two HBAs the utility
will be run twice. The – P parameter must be set to the new PCI bus
number each time the utility is run.

Introduction
Boot BIOS is a set of x86 instructions in the 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel
Host Bus Adapter (HBA) flash ROM that lets you designate a fibre channel
hard drive as the boot drive. Boot BIOS works with the existing system BIOS
on Intel Pentium class PCI system boards.
