1 Adapter Overview

This manual contains information about HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Host Bus Adapters that use the fclp driver. Each adapter is identified along with installation and troubleshooting instructions. This chapter addresses the following topic:

“HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Overview” (page 11)

HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage Overview

NOTE: For the latest copy of this document and related HP Fibre Channel documentation:

1. Go to http://www.docs.hp.com

2. In the “Internet & Networking” category, select “I/O Cards and Networking Software”.

3. Select “Fibre Channel”.

HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage is a high-speed connection for mass storage. It transmits data faster than existing SCSI mass storage interconnects.

HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage networks are ideal for data-intensive applications, including data mining, atmospheric modeling, multimedia, geographic information systems, and medical imaging.

HP Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) are available for HP/9000 and HP Integrity servers.

For all supported configurations, see the HP Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Support Matrix at:

http://www.docs.hp.com

Installation steps differ for various systems. Be sure to follow the information in this guide for your adapter. See the system’s documentation for detailed installation procedures and illustrations.
