NOTE: The third column represents the hardware path of the slot in which the adapter is
installed. The hardware path is different for each installed adapter.
If an installed Fibre Channel adapter requires the fclp driver and the appropriate driver
does not appear as shown above, the driver is not installed.
If the ioscan output is similar to the following:
fc 0/0/2/1/0 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN
HP-UX detected the adapter, but the drivers are not properly loaded.
If the correct driver is installed, but the adapter does not show in the ioscan output, the
driver is not recognizing the adapter.
3. If the ioscan output indicates a problem, contact HP for assistance.
Verifying Connectivity
Once your HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage software and hardware are installed and running,
follow these steps to verify connectivity:
1. Check the state of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces. Enter the ioscan command
and verify that the Hardware State and the HW-Interface State are CLAIMED.
If the Fibre Channel device file has not been created, enter the following commands:
# insf -e
# ioscan -f
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 may 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” (page 18).
If all attached devices are not listed or appear as UNCLAIMED, see the Troubleshooting and

• Diagnose Tool
The Diagnose Tool runs a loopback test on a Fibre Channel adapter. This test is destructive
and must only be run by qualified personnel or on instruction from an HP Support
Representative.
NOTE: STM also includes a Firmware Update tool. This tool cannot be used to update the
firmware on Fibre Channel adapters.
Event Monitoring Service
Event Monitoring Service (EMS) notifies you when an event occurs on the system.
A hardware event monitor monitors the hardware for unusual behavior (known as an event)
and sends a message to the EMS, which notifies you of the event and provides suggestions for
correcting the problem. This service is available for all of the Fibre Channel host bus adapters.
Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor
The Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor monitors the operation of all supported fibre channel host
bus adapter cards on your system. If the monitor detects a problem with any of the adapters, it
immediately sends an event to EMS, which alerts you using the notification methods defined
for the monitor. Error messages identify the problem, its cause, and corrective actions.
The Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor employs asynchronous event detection. The monitor
continuously checks for any errors or abnormal behavior reported by the device driver during
I/O operations. If an error occurs, it passes directly to the monitor for immediate analysis. If the
error warrants notification, the monitor immediately generates an event.
The monitor launches automatically when the system starts, ensuring protection for all supported
Fibre Channel adapters from undetected hardware failure.
Supported Products
The Fibre Channel Adapter Monitor supports the following product:
• AD299A
• AD355A
24 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Installing and Configuring Support Tools Manager and EMS
System requirements:
• HP-UX computer (servers or workstations)
• HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, 11i v3, or later HP-UX operating system versions
• Support Plus Media CD
• If you are using ServiceGuard (optional), check for the correct version you must have for
HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2, or later HP-UX operating system versions
Procedure
1. Install the Support Tools Manager (STM) from the latest Support Plus Media CD. The EMS
hardware monitors automatically install when you install STM.
a. Enter the following command to see if STM is installed on your system:
/usr/sbin/cstmThe message --Information-- Support Tools Manager
should appear on your screen, indicating that STM is installed on your system.
b. If this does not appear, STM needs to be installed. For instructions on how to install
STM see Chapter 5, “Using the Support Plus Media to Install Diagnostics”, in the manual
Support Plus: Diagnostics User's Guide, available at: http://docs.hp.com/diag/index.html
2. Examine the list of supported products to see if any of your devices have special requirements
to be monitored.
3. Add or modify monitoring requests to customize the monitoring configuration for your
system.
4. (Recommended) Verify that monitors are correctly operating; for example, simulate a
hardware failure or event and view the logs.
The default hardware monitoring configuration meets most monitoring requirements. By default,
messages regarding warning, serious, and critical events are written to
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and sent to the root e-mail address. All events are also stored
in/var/opt/resmon/log/event.log.
If you must customize the default monitoring configuration, you can add or modify monitoring
requests as needed.
Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE)
All HP Fibre Channel adapters support the HP Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE). ODE
is an offline support tools platform for troubleshooting HP/9000 and HP Integrity systems running
without an operating system, or systems that cannot be tested using online tools. The offline
environment is also useful for testing before a system is booted.
ODE provides a user-friendly interface for diagnostics and utilities developed to run in an offline
environment.
ODE has a distributed architecture consisting of several modules. Each module has a specific
function and uses well defined protocols to communicate with the other modules.
You can use either the command-line interface or the menu-driven interface. The command-line
interface enables you to select tests and utilities to execute on a specific hardware module. The
menu-driven interface enables you to specify the hardware module to be tested, then ODE selects
the appropriate tests to execute on the module.
ODE consists of the following:
Test Controller Acts as the user interface and launches the execution of the
Test Modules.
Test Modules Diagnostic or utility programs designed to execute within
ODE. These modules exercise or diagnose user-specified
hardware units.

E. Is the minimum required EFI version for the Fibre Channel adapter installed? This step
applies to Fibre Channel adapters installed in HP Integrity systems only. If the minimum
EFI version (or a later version) is installed, go to 4 on Flowchart 2. If not, go to step G.
Firmware Updates
This section explains the process for updating the firmware of your Fibre Channel host bus
adapter.
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Online Firmware Updates
The Fibre Channel host bus adapters that use the fclp driver can be updated while the system
is online, using the fcmsutil command. The rom_fw_update option to the fcmsutil command
updates the HBA's runtime firmware, and the efi_drv_update option of the fcmsutil
command updates the EFI driver.
Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapters Offline Driver and Firmware Updates
The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) is an Itanium-based preboot environment used to update
the EFI driver and firmware on the adapter. EFI can be used to update a single adapter port or
multiple ports, using the batch mode update.
Host bus adapters that use the fclp HP-UX driver use Emulex EFI driver menus for performing
the updates.
Preparing to Update
This procedure assumes that you have obtained a new EFI driver and/or adapter firmware from
HP, and have loaded it into an EFI filesystem called fs0. Theefi_cp command can be used to
copy files from HP-UX into an EFI partition. It is important to make sure that the EFI filesystem
is not attached to the adapter you are about to update. It is often helpful to write down the EFI
directory and filename of the firmware file, because you will be required to enter the directory
and filename as part of the update.
Updating the Firmware
1. To view the Emulex driver handle information, type at the EFI shell prompt:
fs0:> drivers
A list of drivers is displayed.
2. Write down the driver handle associated with the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver. The first
column, labelled DRV, lists the driver handles.
3. Enter the drvcfg -s <driver handle> command. For example, if the driver handle is
20 (your driver handle may be different):
fs0: drvcfg -s 20
30 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
4. Information is displayed, listing all of the HBAs in the system. Your listing will vary
depending upon how many HBAs are installed in the system.
5. Using the arrow keys, locate the HBA that you want to configure and select (i.e., highlight)
the row and press Enter.
6. Select (i.e., highlight) the Firmware Update option, and press Enter.
7. Choose the option to update a single adapter port, or batch mode to update several adapter
ports.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the update process.
Fibre Channel Device Scanning Policy Configuration for HP Integrity Systems
Because fibre channel SANs can contain many potential boot devices, it is necessary to use an
appropriate EFI device scanning policy, when booting an HP Integrity server which is connected
to a SAN. The intent of the device scanning policy is to allow a fibre channel EFI driver to find
a fibre channel boot device, yet still allow the scanning process to complete in a reasonable
amount of time.
Most HP Integrity servers implement default device scanning policies that work well with fibre
channel without needing modification. For example, the server’s default policy might start a
single EFI driver, which is attached to a known boot path. If the system is booting from a SAS
internal disk, for example, the server would not start the fibre channel EFI driver. Another way
that an HP Integrity server can speed the boot process is to pass the known boot path directly
to the EFI driver. The EFI driver then only needs to search the SAN for that particular target and
LUN.
In most cases, the server’s default EFI device scanning policy should not need modification to
work properly with host bus adapters supported by the fclp HP-UX driver. In certain cases, it
is useful to expand the EFI driver’s device scanning policy:
• When you want to use the EFI shell to access an EFI disk partition attached to a host bus
adapter.
• When your system is experiencing boot failures and you want to ensure that the EFI driver
is scanning the device.
• When you are using an HP Integrity server that does not support a default scanning policy
suitable for discovering the boot device.
For adapters supported by the fclp HP-UX driver, you change the EFI driver’s device scanning
policy using the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver configuration menus.
Modifying the Scanning Policy
1. To view the Emulex driver handle information, type at the EFI shell prompt:
fs0:>drivers
A list of drivers is displayed.
2. Write down the driver handle associated with the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver. The first
column, labelled DRV, lists the driver handles.
3. Enter the drvcfg -s <driver handle> command. For example, if the driver handle is
20 (your driver handle may be different):
fs0:>drvcfg -s 20
4. Information is displayed, listing all of the HBAs in the system. Your listing will vary
depending upon how many HBAs are installed in the system.
5. Using the arrow keys, locate the HBA that you want to configure and select (i.e., highlight)
the row and press Enter.
6. Select (highlight) the Setup Utility option and press Enter.
Fibre Channel Device Scanning Policy Configuration for HP Integrity Systems 31
7. Select (highlight) the Configure Boot Parameters option and press Enter.
8. Select (highlight) the Boot Target Scan option and press Enter.
9. Select one of the scanning policies from the list presented. The Boot Path from NVRAM Targets
option, which is the default option, requires additional configuration in the Configure Boot
Devices option in the previous menu. Using this scanning policy, you can enter a list of
particular targets and LUNs that you would like the EFI driver to search for potential boot
devices. Other policies, such as the Boot Path Discovered Devices policy, do not limit the scan
to particular devices, and may take several minutes to complete, depending upon the size
of the SAN.
10. After completing your selection and configuration of the scanning policy, use the ESC key
to exit the EFI configuration menus.
