Verifying Installation

Verifying Installation
1. To verify the adapter installation, enter the command:
ioscan -f
2. Verify that the following drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all drivers display, proceed to the next section, Verifying Connectivity.
The ioscan output might look like the following. The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is installed. This path will be different for each installed adapter port.
Table 1-3 ioscan -f Output
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
fc 0 1/1/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon
XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
3. If the correct driver is installed, but the adapter does not show it in the ioscan output, the driver is not recognizing the adapter. Contact HP for assistance.
NOTE If the td driver for an installed Tachyon adapter (A6795A) does not display, verify that the
adapter is securely seated before taking additional action.

Verifying Connectivity

Once your HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage software and hardware is installed and running, type the following commands to verify mass storage hardware and software installation.
1. Check the state of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces. Enter the ioscan command and verify that the S/W State of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces is CLAIMED.
If the Fibre Channel device file has not been created, enter the following commands:
ioscan -f
insf -e
2. Verify that all devices you attached to the Fibre Channel adapter are listed in the ioscan output. For example, if you have a direct attach Fibre Channel device attached to the system, the ioscan output might look like the following:
8/12.8.0.255.0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE DGC C3400WDR5
The example above is the hardware path of LUN0 of a directly attached Fibre Channel Mass Storage device with Loop ID of 1. For details on interpreting hardware paths for Fibre Channel devices, see Interpreting Hardware Paths.

Interpreting Hardware Paths

3. HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage installation is verified if the ioscan output lists all mass storage devices attached to the adapter. If any attached devices are not listed or appear as UNCLAIMED, see the Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapter of the HP Fibre Channel Adapters Support Guide.
Interpreting Hardware Paths
The following illustration is the Fibre Channel hardware path format:
Figure 1-2 Example of a Hardware Path for a Public Loop Device
Adapter Area Port Bus Target LUNDomain

Each field in the hardware path is described below:
Fibre Channel Topology of HBA
Field Value Information
Fabric Topologies such as Public
Loop and Direct Fabric Attach
Private Loop
Adapter This is the hardware path of the Fibre Channel adapter through which the LUN is seen.
In the case of multi-port adapters, this field describes a specific port on the adapter.

Interpreting Hardware Paths
Fibre Channel Topology of HBA
Field Value Information
Domain The value depends
on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA.
Area The value depends
on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA.
Fabric Topologies such as Public
Loop and Direct Fabric Attach
This field is typically the Domain ID of the switch to which the target device is attached. The value of this field is taken from the most significant byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
This field is taken from the second byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
On some switches, the second byte of the N_Port ID encodes the switch port to which the device is connected. How this encoding is done depends on the switch. Consult the relevant switch manual to interpret this field.
Private Loop
This field is set to 8.
For historical reasons, HP-UX uses a Domain ID of 8 to indicate Private Loops. Fibre Channel switches seen by HP-UX hosts cannot be configured with Domain ID of 8; doing so is unsupported and will not work.
This field is set to 0.
Port The value depends
on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA and the target device, and on the LUN addressing method used.
Bus The value depends
on the Fibre Channel topology of the HBA and the target device, and on the LUN addressing method used.
For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is always 255.
For other LUN methods, the value of this field is the least significant byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the upper 4-bits of the least significant byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
For LUNs with Logical Unit Addressing, the value is the Bus Number field of the Logical Unit Number.
For LUNs with Volume Set Addressing (Flat Space Addressing), the value is bits 7 - 13 of the Logical Unit Number
ForLUNs withPeripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is always 255.
For other LUN methods, the value of this field is the Loop ID of the target device.
ForLUNs withPeripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the upper 4-bits of the Loop ID of the target device.

Fabric Topologies such as Public
Loop and Direct Fabric Attach
For LUNs with Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the lower 4-bits of the third byte of the N_Port ID of the target device.
This field usually corresponds to the Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA) of the target device.
For LUNs with Logical Unit Addressing, the value is the Target field of the Logical Unit Number.
For LUNs with Volume Set Addressing (Flat Space Addressing), the value is bits 3 - 6 of the Logical Unit Number.
Logical Unit Addressing
With Peripheral Device Addressing, the value of this field is the lower 4-bits of the Loop ID
of the target device.
Private Loop

(Flat Space Addressing)
Value of LUN field in FC HW Path
For more information about the fields in the Logical Unit Number, please refer to the SCSI Architecture Model - 3 (SAM-3) standards document.
NOTE Fibre Channel devices can connect to a Fabric using either Direct Fabric Attach or Public Loop.
The Target or LUN field of the Logical Unit Number.
Different devices may have different types of connections to the same Fabric, for example an HBA may have a Direct Fabric Attach connection to the Fabric, while an array has a Public Loop connection to the same Fabric. In other words, in a Fabric, the Fibre Channel Topology of an HBA may be different from the Fibre Channel Topology of devices seen by that HBA.
Public Loop devices have an Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA). The AL_PA usually appears in the least significant byte of the device's N_Port ID. Direct Fabric Attach devices do not have an AL_PA and the least significant byte of their N_Port ID is usually 0. This is dependent on the switch implementation and not all switches adhere to this scheme.
Some switches allow devices in Private Loop mode to connect to a Fabric. In these situations, the switch typically translates the private loop device as either a Public Loop or Direct Fabric Attach device to the rest of the Fabric. The switch also typically translates the rest of the Fabric as Private Loop devices to the Private Loop device.
The LUN field of the Logical Unit Number.
Bits 0 - 2 of the Logical Unit Number.
