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 3.

SCSI to Fibre Channel Protocol Process
In this example, a SCSI host (initiator) on the SCSI bus issues commands and the
information is passed through the router to a target on the Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (FC-SAN). Figure 5 is an illustration of the process and defines
each step.

Note: The router implementation of Extended Copy does not support SDMP protocol.
Note: Copy Manager can perform simultaneous Extended Copy commands.
Note: Server-free backup can be activated using the Active Fabric Configuration Menu
option. When activated, the router is enabled for both server-free and LAN-free
capabilities. When deactivated, only LAN-free capabilities are supported.

26 Network Storage Router N1200 User Guide
Configuration Overview
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 28
■ UI Overview, page 29
■ Common Configuration Settings, page 31
— Controller LUN Commands
— SCSI Bus Configuration
— Fibre Channel Port Configuration
— Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Configuration
— Fibre Channel Switched Fabric Configuration
—Discovery Mode
— 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.
27Network Storage Router N1200 User Guide
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.
28 Network Storage Router N1200 User Guide
UI Overview
The router supports the following user interfaces:
■ Visual Manager, page 29
■ Serial, page 29
■ Telnet, page 29
■ FTP, page 29
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 “Visual
Manager User Interface” on page 37.
Configuration Overview
Serial
Telnet
FTP
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 “Serial/Telnet
User Interface” on page 87.
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 “Serial/Telnet
User Interface” on page 87.
The router supports the use of the FTP UI to perform several copy procedures
using the
put and the get commands.
