Introduction
Functional Overview
The router translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from the SCSI
Protocol. It transfers commands, data, and status information to and from Fibre
Channel controllers and SCSI devices.
Supported devices include:
■ Initiator Devices – Fibre Channel and SCSI hosts
■ Direct Access Devices – RAID Controllers, disk drives, JBODs
■ Sequential Access Devices – Tape drives
■ Changer Devices – Tape and Magneto-Optical Libraries
The router provides multiple Fibre Channel to SCSI I/O configurations.
A sample configuration is illustrated in Figure 2.

Configuration Overview
2F
The HP StorageWorks Network Storage Router can be configured and managed
using several user interfaces (UI). Each UI is introduced in this chapter, along
with information about common configuration settings. Included are:
■ Router Default Ethernet Settings, page 26
■ UI Overview, page 27
■ Common Configuration Settings, page 29
— Controller LUN Commands
— SCSI Bus Configuration
— Default Fibre Channel Port Configuration
— Fibre Channel Switched Fabric Configuration
—Discovery Mode
2
— Host Device Configuration
— Logical Unit Management
— Buffered Tape Writes
Note: Before attempting to configure the router, a basic understanding of Fibre Channel and
SCSI devices is recommended. For information on SCSI standards, refer to publications from the
X3T10 committee of ANSI (American National Standards Institute). For information on Fibre
Channel standards, refer to publications from the X3T11 committee of ANSI. For those who are
interested in purchasing approved American National Standards and Technical Reports, contact
ANSI at (212) 642-4900.
25Network Storage Router e1200-160
Configuration Overview
Router Default Ethernet Settings
Some of the basic factory default values are:
■ IP address: http://1.1.1.1/
■ Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
■ Gateway address: 0.0.0.0
■ User name: root
■ Password: password
HP recommends that you change these values from the defaults.
All settings within the router configuration are preset with default values. These
values are set to allow the router to be installed into most HP environments with
little or no configuration changes.
After changing the basic default values listed above, carefully consider any
additional configuration changes.
After the initial configuration of the router is established, HP recommends
backing up the configuration to an external file. If needed, during a recovery
process, this file can then be restored back onto the router.
26 Network Storage Router e1200-160
UI Overview
The router supports the following user interfaces:
■ Visual Manager
■ Serial
■ Telnet
■ FTP
Visual Manager
Visual Manager lets you view and change router configuration from any standard
Web browser. Information is dynamically generated in an HTML format so that
any Web browser can access it.
Unless the default values are used, the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port must be
configured using the serial port with an appropriate IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway prior to use.
For complete information on accessing and using Visual Manager, see Chapter 3,
"Visual Manager User Interface."
Configuration Overview
Serial
The serial port allows for configuration of device characteristics from a terminal
or terminal emulator. Multiple serial connections cannot be run at the same time.
For complete information on accessing and using the Serial UI, see Chapter 4,
"Serial/Telnet User Interface."
27Network Storage Router e1200-160
Configuration Overview
Telnet
From most Microsoft® Windows® 9x, Windows NT®, and Windows 2000®
systems, users can start a Telnet session from the DOS (command) shell after the
IP address has been set.
For complete information on accessing and using the Telnet UI, see Chapter 4,
"Serial/Telnet User Interface."
FTP
The router supports the use of the FTP UI to perform several copy procedures
using the
For more information, see Chapter 5, "FTP User Interface."
put and the get commands.
28 Network Storage Router e1200-160
Common Configuration Settings
To provide connectivity between hosts and devices, the router must establish an
address on each connected Fibre Channel network and SCSI bus. The following
paragraphs discuss configuration settings that are commonly modified and are
available in the Visual Manager UI and the Serial/Telnet UI.
For procedural information on accessing and changing these settings, see Chapter
3, "Visual Manager User Interface," and Chapter 4, "Serial/Telnet User Interface."
Controller LUN Commands
The router supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received as FCP
commands over the Fibre Channel port. These commands provide support for
value added features such as Extended Copy (a future value added option). When
using these commands, they must be sent to the Controller LUN.
For more information, see Appendix B, "Controller LUN Commands."
SCSI Bus Configuration
The router can appear on a SCSI bus as a pair of initiators. The primary Initiator
ID can be set to any valid SCSI address (0-15) and is used for most traffic. The
alternate Initiator ID can also be set to any valid SCSI address (0-15) and is for
use with high priority traffic. The Initiator IDs (primary and alternate) should not
be set to the same SCSI address and no other devices on the SCSI bus may use
either of these SCSI addresses.
The router can also appear as one or more Target ID on a SCSI bus. By default, no
Target IDs are set up.
The router provides the capability to reset SCSI buses during the router boot
cycle. This allows devices on a SCSI bus to be in a known state. The reset option
can be enabled/disabled during configuration of the router. The SCSI bus reset
feature is enabled in the default configuration, but should be disabled for
configurations using multiple initiators, tape changers or other devices that have
long reset cycles, or for environments that are adversely affected by bus resets.
Configuration Overview
The router negotiates the maximum values for transfer rates and bandwidth on a
SCSI bus. If an attached SCSI device does not allow the full rates, the router will
use the best rates it can negotiate for that device. Because negotiation is on a
device-specific basis, the router can support a mix of SCSI device types on the
same SCSI bus.
29Network Storage Router e1200-160
Configuration Overview
Fibre Channel Port Configuration
By default, the configuration of the Fibre Channel ports is set to N_Port, forcing
the router to negotiate a fabric only mode.
Note: By default, the Fibre Channel port speed is set to 2 Gb/s. Changes to the Fibre
Channel port speed must be manually set, such as for 1 Gb/s. If set incorrectly and the
router is plugged into a Loop or Fabric, the unit may receive framing errors, which can be
found in the trace logs, and the fiber link light will be off because of the incorrect Fibre
Channel link speed. For more information on manually setting the Fibre Channel port
speed, see Chapter 3, "Fibre Channel Port Configuration."
Fibre Channel Switched Fabric Configuration
When connected to a Fibre Channel switch, the router is identified to the switch as
a unique device by the factory programmed World Wide Name (WWN).
Discovery Mode
This feature makes it easy to discover attached Fibre Channel and SCSI target
devices and automatically map them on the host side for the bus/port in question.
There are two discovery methods available:
■ Manual discovery
■ Auto discovery
Auto Discovery can be set to occur after reboot events (when the router reboots)
or link-up events (for instance, when cables are attached or a hub is rebooted).
Auto Discovery can be disabled by setting the router to Manual Discovery.
For more information on setting the Discovery Mode, see Chapter 3, "Fibre
Channel Port Configuration," when using the Visual Manager User Interface or
Chapter 4, "Fibre Channel Configuration," when using Serial/Telnet.
Host Device Configuration
A host system using a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) will typically map
devices into the existing device-mapping scheme used by that operating system.
Refer to the HBA manual for the mapping table.
