The FC929X.ROM ﬁle contains the ﬁrmware to operate the LSIFC929X or LSIFC919X controllers used on the associated 2 Gbit/s LSI Logic host adapters. When updates are necessary,LSI Logic releases new ﬁrmware to improve the functionality or performance of these host adapters. You may download the latest ﬁrmware from the LSI Logic web site at:

http://drivers.lsilogic.com.

2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Host Adapters User’s Guide 3-1

3.1 FC Firmware

This section includes the features, description, installation, and conﬁguration of the FC ﬁrmware. The installation method varies

depending on the operating system. LSI Logic provides ﬁrmware installation tools for the Windows, Linux, and Solaris operating systems.

3.1.1 Features

The FC ﬁrmware for the LSI Logic FC chips supports the following features:

• 1 Gbit/s and 2 Gbit/s FC transfers, with AutoNegotiation

(select 1 Gbit/s, 2 Gbit/s, or Auto)

• 64-bit/66 MHz host PCI bus and 133 MHz PCI-X bus

(backward-compatible with 32-bit/33 MHz)

• Transaction performance capability of > 70,000 I/Os per second

(both channels)

• Throughput capability of ~400 Mbytes/s, across 64-bit/66 MHz PCI

(both channels)

• Low host CPU utilization

• Interrupt coalescing, tunable to system requirements

• Auto Topology Detection for Arbitrated Loop, Fabric Loop, or

Direct Fabric attachment (user selects N_Port, NL_Port, or Auto)

• FC Class 3 support

• FC-Tape/FC-AL2 Class 3 conﬁrmed delivery support

• Fusion-MPT common software interface

• Initiator, Target, and FC LAN capability

3.1.2 Description

The LSIFC929X and LSIFC919X controllers operate in an environment where one or more host drivers serve as the interface layer between the operating system and the Fusion-MPT services provided by the LSI Logic FC ﬁrmware. The host driver is responsible for initializing the controller, building request message frames, issuing request message

3-2 Firmware Installation Procedure

frames to the controller, and processing reply message frames received from the controller.

The LSI Logic firmware translates Fusion-MPT message frames into FC-specific sequences, frames, and primitives that are delivered to the FC transmit and receive physical interfaces. The firmware-based Link Services library transparently provides all link service support that the host uses for all FC topologies. The firmware also manages all link exceptions,which isolates the host driver from FC-unique exceptions.With the Fusion-MPT architecture, parallel SCSI host drivers can be used with the LSI Logic FC controllers with little or no additional functionality for FC.

3.2 Download New FC Firmware

To begin, you must ﬁrst download new host adapter ﬁrmware component(s) from the LSI Logic web site (www.lsilogic.com). Type the following address into your preferred browser:

http://drivers.lsilogic.com

The web page presents three drop-down menus under Find Speciﬁc Products. Make the following selections:

Step 1. Select Storage Adapters.

Step 2. Select Fibre Channel HBAs.

Step 3. Select LSI7202XP-LC (or other 2 Gbit/s LSI Logic host

adapter). Step 4. Check the box next to BIOS/Firmware. Then click the Go

button. This search locates the latest BIOS/Firmware available for your host

adapter. Save the ﬁle to your hard drive. You may have to unzip this ﬁle. Typically, the download will contain three separate ﬁles:

FC929X.ROM —LSI Logic Firmware update MPTBIOS.ROM —LSI Logic Boot BIOS update LSI9x9f.ROM —LSI Logic Fcode update

Download New FC Firmware 3-3

These ﬁles represent updated code that you may store on your LSI Logic host adapter using one of the methods described in the next sections.

3.3 Update the FC Firmware

The process of updating the FC ﬁrmware varies slightly, depending on the operating system.

3.3.1 GUI Update Tool for Windows and Linux Platforms

With the MyStorage™ management software installed on either Windows or Linux operating systems, you can use the MyStorage software to update LSI Logic host adapters with new ﬁrmware (Section 3.2,

“Download New FC Firmware”). The CD-ROM media distributed with

many LSI Logic host adapter kits contains the MyStorage software; alternatively, users can download the MyStorage software from the LSI Logic web site (www.lsilogic.com).

Refer to LSI Logic MyStorage Management Software User’s Guide for detailed usage instructions.

3.3.2 Command Line Update Tool for Solaris, Linux, and Windows

LSI Logic provides a FC Flash command line utility called LSIUtil to update LSI Logic host adapters with new ﬁrmware (Section 3.2). The software is available for the Windows, Linux, and Solaris operating systems. This section provides the procedure for operating this program.

Note: The LSIUtil program will not operate properly unless an

LSI Logic OS driver is also installed.

Running the LSIUtil Program – The LSIUtil program may be used to update the LSI Logic FC ﬁrmware of any 2 Gbit/s host adapter. Locate and copy the LSIUtil.exe program and the FC929X.ROM code ﬁles to a directory on your hard drive. To update the ﬁrmware, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Ensure that the host adapter is properly installed in the system

PCI/PCI-X or PCI Express slot.

3.4 Advanced User: Adjusting Default Firmware Settings

Occasionally, a user may ﬁnd it necessary to adjust default ﬁrmware parameters set by LSI Logic during the original manufacturing process. Adjustments to these parameters will affect future behavior of the

3-8 Firmware Installation Procedure

LSI Logic Adapter, and should be reserved for advanced users who fully understand the implications of such changes.

The LSI Logic ﬁrmware supports several conﬁguration options, deﬁned individually in Section 3.4.1, “Adjusting Link Speed,” and Section 3.4.2,

“Adjusting Interrupt Coalescing.” These options may be conﬁgured using

the MPTUtil utility menu, as described in the subsection entitled

“Running the MPTUtil Program”.

3.4.1 Adjusting Link Speed

The link speed of the LSI Logic host adapters is conﬁgurable. By default, the link speed is set to Auto. This means the host adapter automatically detects the link speed of all other nodes on the link and automatically adjusts itself to work with those nodes. If this automatic operation fails (for example, other nodes on a loop do not support AutoNegotiation), the LSI Logic host adapters may be conﬁgured speciﬁcally to either the 2 Gbit/s or 1 Gbit/s speed.

Note: The LSI7202XP-LC, LSI7202EP-LC, and LSI7202EP each

have two FC ports and the LSI7402XP-LC, LSI7402XP-LC, and LSI7402XP-LC each have four FC ports, so the link speed must be conﬁgured for each port. The

LSI7102XP-LC has only one port. Conﬁgure the link speed of the host adapter by following these steps: Step 1. Toset the link speed of the host adapter, execute this command

from the DOS command line:

A:\ MPTutil

The MPTUtil program identiﬁes all LSI Logic host adapters in the system, and allows you to select which adapter to update (Figure 3.4).

Step 2. The MPTUtil program displays a menu of options. (Figure 3.5).

To change the link speed on the LSI7202XP-LC Port 0 (lower port, near the PCI connector), select the following menu option:

f-Toggle Board Speed on Function 0 To change the link speed on the LSI7202XP-LC Port 1 (upper

port from the PCI connector), select the following menu option:

Advanced User: Adjusting Default Firmware Settings 3-9

g - Toggle Board Speed on Function 1 Successively pressing the F key (for Function 0) or the G key

(for Function 1) toggles the PORT speed setting between these three modes:

• AUTO

• 1 Gbit/s

• 2 Gbit/s

Step 3. Exit the FCUtil utility using the menu option q - Quit.

3.4.2 Adjusting Interrupt Coalescing

The LSI Logic host adapters can complete multiple I/O requests per host interrupt. Interrupt coalescing is used to reduce CPU interrupts by pooling multiple disk command completions (I/O) into one interrupt. This feature may be enabled or disabled.

Important: LSI Logic has performed signiﬁcant testing under multiple

I/O conditions and has determined that interrupt coalescing

can be very valuable for small transfer lengths or random,

transaction-oriented I/O workloads. For this type of

workload, LSI Logic recommends that the Interrupt

Coalescing values be set to a queue depth of 9, with a

timeout of 1280 (0x500) µs. This means that the host is

interrupted only once for 9 I/Os processed by the chip,

unless 1280 µs have passed since the host was last

interrupted. If the workload is of a large transfer length and

sequential, LSI Logic recommends that interrupt coalescing

be disabled to prevent performance degradation.

Note: The LSI7202XP-LC, LSI7202EP-LC, and LSI7202EP each

have two FC ports and the LSI7402XP-LC, LSI7402XP-LC,

and LSI7402XP-LC each have four FC ports, so Interrupt

Coalescing must be conﬁgured for each port. The

LSI7102XP-LC has only one port. Use the following procedure to adjust Interrupt Coalescing depth and

timeout values: Step 1. Toset the link speed of the host adapter, execute this command

from the DOS command line:

3-10 Firmware Installation Procedure

A:\ Mptutil

The MPTUtil program identiﬁes all LSI Logic host adapters in the system, and allows you to select which adapter to update. (See Figure 3.4.)

Step 2. The MPTUtil program displays a menu of options. (See

Figure 3.5.)

To change Interrupt Coalescing on the LSI7202XP-LC Port 0, select the following menu option:

1- Change Interrupt Coalescing Values on Port 0

The current values are displayed within a submenu that allows the values to be changed (Figure 3.6).

Figure 3.6 Interrupt Coalescing Values

Flags – By default, the host adapter has Interrupt Coalescing enabled,

as indicated by the Flags value of 0x0001. If you want to disable Interrupt Coalescing, enter a value of 0x0000 for Flags. Interrupt Coalescing should only be disabled to resolve issues in unique system conﬁgurations. Consult LSI Logic Host Adapter Support to verify the need to disable Interrupt Coalescing for speciﬁc system conﬁgurations. When enabled, two parameters are relevant for interrupt coalescing:

Coalescing Depth – Speciﬁes the number of I/Os that must complete before a host interrupt is generated. For example, if set to 4, then the adapter waits until four I/Os complete before notifying the host CPU via the interrupt mechanism. You can decrease this value to improve system performance if the system contains lower performance servers and/or peripherals.

Coalescing Timeout – This is failsafe time period that speciﬁes the maximum amount of time (in milliseconds) to interrupt regardless of Coalescing depth.

Advanced User: Adjusting Default Firmware Settings 3-11

3.5 Troubleshooting

Some potential problems and their suggested solutions are as follows:

The ﬁrmware and BIOS revisions typically must be in sync for proper operation.

Check with LSI Logic Technical Support to make sure that the Firmware is the correct version to use with your BIOS. If the ﬁrmware revision is not in sync with the BIOS revision, system failures may occur.

How do you identify the version number of the ﬁrmware?

The UNIX-compatible WHAT.EXE program for DOS included on your distribution media can identify the ROM ﬁles on the diskette(s).

Examples:

what *.* what *.* nt/*.*

Many types of errors are reported through the LED on the LSI Logic Host Adapter boards.

When these errors occur, the LED ﬂashes a four-digit sequence, which is the error code. These types of errors should be reported to LSI Logic Technical Support. The technical support representative will ask for additional system conﬁguration information, including the type of system used, the FC conﬁguration and type of peripherals (including version numbers), and the sequence of events when the error occurred.

3-12 Firmware Installation Procedure

Chapter 4 BIOS Features

This chapter describes the Fibre Channel (FC) BIOS and Conﬁguration Utility and includes the following sections:

• Section 4.1, “LSI Logic Boot BIOS”

• Section 4.2, “Starting the LSI Logic Boot BIOS Conﬁguration Utility”

• Section 4.3, “Using the LSI Logic Boot BIOS CU”

• Section 4.4, “Main Menu”

• Section 4.5, “Exiting the LSI Logic Boot BIOS Conﬁguration Utility”

• Section 4.6, “Troubleshooting”

• Section 4.7, “OpenBoot BIOS”

A BIOS is the ROM code that the system loads to facilitate booting from FC drives. The BIOS also contains an embedded conﬁguration manager, with which you conﬁgure options provided by the ﬁrmware. The LSI Logic BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS, extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h.

Two types of BIOS are available for the LSI Logic host adapters:

• LSI Logic FC boot BIOS for Intel/AMD-based platforms, and

• LSI Logic FC OpenBoot BIOS for Solaris SPARC platforms.

Both the LSI Logic boot BIOS and OpenBoot BIOS are stored on the FC host adapter boards.

2 Gbit/s Fibre Channel Host Adapters User’s Guide 4-1

4.1 LSI Logic Boot BIOS

This section provides the features, description, and installation of the LSI Logic FC boot BIOS.

4.1.1 LSI Logic Boot BIOS Features

The LSI Logic FC boot BIOS supports:

• Selection and conﬁguration for up to 256 adapters

• Boot device selection from any four host adapters

• Automatic INT13 drive mapping for FC drives

4.1.2 BIOS Overview

If Boot is enabled, the boot BIOS scans for FC Hard disks connected to the FC host adapter. All discovered disks are enumerated with drive letters and appended to a master list of disks discovered on the host. Upon scan completion, the host serially inspects the master list of disks beginning with drive letter A and attempts to boot from the ﬁrst device it ﬁnds with a boot record. If boot from FC is desired, you may elect to remove or disable IDE drives, as these tend to get lower drive letter assignments than FC devices.

Note: The Boot feature is disabled by default on all host adapters

shipped from LSI Logic.

4.1.3 LSI Logic BIOS Boot Speciﬁcation (BBS)

The LSI Logic BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Speciﬁcation (BBS), which allows you to choose which device to boot from by selecting the priority.

To use this feature, the system BIOS must be compatible with the BBS. If your system supports the BBS, use the system BIOS setup menu to select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS setup, the Boot Connection Devices menu appears with a list of available boot options. Use that menu to select the device and rearrange the order. Then exit to continue the boot process.

4-2 BIOS Features

4.2 Starting the LSI Logic Boot BIOS Conﬁguration Utility

The LSI Logic boot BIOS allows you to change the default conﬁguration of your host adapters, using the embedded BIOS Conﬁguration Utility (CU).

When the BIOS loads, the following message appears on your monitor:

Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about ﬁve seconds, giving you time to start the utility. After you press CTRL+C, the message changes to:

Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main menu of the BIOS CU.

Note: Not all devices detected by the CU can be controlled by the

BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners require

loading a device driver speciﬁc to that peripheral. The BIOS

CU allows parameters to be modiﬁed for these devices.

4.3 Using the LSI Logic Boot BIOS CU

This section provides the menu formats and user inputs availableto inform users about the boot BIOS CU prior to running it. All BIOS CU screens that display various menus are partitioned into fixed areas. This area provides static general help text information.

4.4 Main Menu

When you invoke the LSI Logic boot BIOS CU, the Main menu appears. This screen displays a scrolling list of up to 256 host adapters in the system and information about each of them.

Use the arrow keys to highlight a host adapter. Then press ENTER to view and modify the selected host adapter properties (and to gain access to the attached devices). After selecting an adapter and pressing

Starting the LSI Logic Boot BIOS Conﬁguration Utility 4-3

ENTER, the FC Link bus is scanned and the Adapter Properties screen appears.

On the Main menu, two selections are the Boot Adapter List and Global Properties menus.

Boot Adapter List allows selection and ordering of boot adapters. Refer to Section 4.4.4, “Boot Adapter List Menu,” for details.

Global Properties allows changes to global scope settings. Refer to

Section 4.4.5, “Global Properties Menu,” for details.

Only host adapters with LSI Logic Control enabled can be accessed.

4.4.1 Adapter Properties Menu

The Adapter Properties menu allows you to view and modify adapter settings. It also provides access to the device settings of a host adapter. To display this menu, select a device under the Adapter ﬁeld on the Main menu and press ENTER.

4.4.2 Persistent ID Menu

You can use the Persistent ID menu simply to review the automatic mapping between a drive World Wide Name (WWN) and its assigned logical SCSI bus and Target ID. The screen also can force a drive to a speciﬁc logical Target ID.

Selecting Add WWN at an unused location clears out the associated WWN/DID ﬁeld and allows you to enter the ﬁrst 16 characters of the WWN. Pressing ENTER afterwards allows the last 16 characters to be entered. The Conﬁguration Utility automatically adds any leading zeros, if necessary. If an entry was put in by mistake, selecting Erase on the appropriate line removes the entry.

Logical ID selection defaults to be the lowest ID available. This can be changed by using the PLUS or MINUS keys to cycle the numbers. The Bus ﬁeld always defaults to 0 and cannot be changed. It is displayed whenever an outside utility has reserved a different number.

The Next Page and Previous Page options are provided on the persistent ID screens through the F2 key, which moves the screen forward or back by 16 entries. However, the CU requires storing any modiﬁcations to the

4-4 BIOS Features

current page before new entries may be viewed or modiﬁed. A pop-up conﬁrmation window asks to store or discard changes, if needed.

4.4.3 Device Properties Menu

The Device Properties menu allows you to view and update individual device settings for an adapter.

Note: The number of ﬁelds on the menu requires that you scroll

left/right to view all the information. When accessing this

menu, use the HOME and END keys to scroll to columns

currently not displayed. The scroll indicator on the bottom

of the menu shows the position of the cursor relative to the

ﬁrst and last columns.

4.4.4 Boot Adapter List Menu

The Boot Adapter List menu speciﬁes the order in which adapters boot when more than one LSI Logic host adapter is in a system. Up to four adapters in a system can be selected as bootable. Only one of the four bootable adapters can control a boot volume.

To select this menu:

1. Press F2 while on the Main menu to move the cursor to the menu

area.

2. Move the cursor to Boot Adapter List with the arrow keys.

3. Press ENTER. Adapters can be added or deleted using this menu. To add an adapter

to the boot list, press the INSERT key while on the Boot Adapter List. Use the arrow keys to select the desired adapter, and press ENTER to add it to the end of the Boot Adapter List.

To remove an adapter from the boot list, press the DELETE key while the desired adapter is selected in the Boot Adapter List. You can also change the boot order by using the PLUS or MINUS keys. For example, place the cursor on the adapter that you want to change, and use the PLUS or MINUS key to raise or lower the boot order, respectively.

Main Menu 4-5

4.4.5 Global Properties Menu

The Global Properties menu allows you to pause if an alert message has been displayed, to view display boot information, and to set display and video modes.

4.5 Exiting the LSI Logic Boot BIOS Conﬁguration Utility

The Exit menu for the LSI Logic boot BIOS conﬁguration utility is used for all six of the menus listed in Section 4.4, “Main Menu,” page 4-3. However, the available functionality is different for the Main menu and the ﬁve subordinate menus.

To exit from the Adapter Properties, Persistent ID, Device Properties, Boot Adapter List, or Global Properties menus, use the following exit options:

Cancel exit Returns you to the previous menu. Save changes then

OpenBoot BIOS 4-7

4.7.2 Identifying the FC Devices

The probe-scsi-all command identiﬁes the FC devices on your FusionMPT adapter.

To show all disks available from the OpenBoot prompt, use the probe-scsi-all command. Note that this command is used regardless of whether the disks are FC or SCSI. All disks available on all Fusion-MPT devices are displayed.

The following example shows the kind of information that is displayed when you enter this command.

If the FC devices on your IntraServer™ adapter are not identiﬁed by your system, check the following:

• Is the FC enclosure powered on?

• Does the LED on the adapter indicate Link? (Note that Link is valid

only after the device is probed.)

• Does the LED on the switch or remote enclosure indicate Link?

• Does the Link-SPEED parameter selected by the adapter match that

of the bus (1G, 2G, or Auto)?

If you do not see disks, the following additional debug information may help to identify the problem.

4.7.3 Verifying Installation

Use the following procedure to verify installation of your Fusion-MPT adapter in the system:

Step 1. Power-up the system. Step 2. When the banner is displayed, press the STOP+A keys to

interrupt the boot process and stop at the ok prompt.

Step 3. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices. You

should see an output similar to the following:

ok show-devs

• An LSIFC919X-based adapter shows only one such FC device.

Note: The above listing is an example. The show-devs output

may vary depending on your system and conﬁguration. Use

the corresponding entries on your system, not the ones

given here. If these devices are not listed, check to assure that the adapter is

correctly installed and reseat the adapter in the PCI slot if necessary.

4.7.4 Adapter-Speciﬁc Settings

In certain circumstances, advanced users may want to change settings for an individual adapter or port, without affecting the other adapters in the system. Speciﬁc examples of such settings are FC bus speed, host adapter ID (SCSI only: not applicable to FC), and Interrupt Coalescing.

To select a speciﬁc Fusion-MPT adapter as the current adapter, use the select command. Selecting a port or adapter brings the port online and allows you to show or set certain adapter speciﬁc parameters.

4-10 BIOS Features

You should use caution while issuing the following commands because some commands (such as forcing 1 Gbit/s operation on a 2 Gbit/s FC loop) could render the bus unusable.

4-12 BIOS Features

4.7.5 Interrupt Coalescing

LSI Logic has performed signiﬁcant testing under multiple I/O conditions and has determined that interrupt coalescing can be very valuable for small transfer lengths or random, transaction-oriented I/O workloads. For this type of workload, LSI Logic recommends that the Interrupt Coalescing values be set to a queue depth of 9, with a timeout of 1280 (0x500) µs. This means that the host is interrupted only once for 9 I/Os processed by the chip, unless 1280 µs have passed since the host was last interrupted. If the workload is of a large transfer length and sequential, LSI Logic recommends that interrupt coalescing be disabled to prevent performance degradation.

Although LSI Logic has determined that these settings are optimal for a wide variety of situations, your own I/O load may beneﬁt from a deeper queue or a longer timeout. LSI Logic provides a mechanism to modify these values and write them to the nonvolatile EEPROM on the adapter.

Select the port or adapter shown (use the port name your system assigns):

ok select /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1

Then enter commands as shown in the following example:

ok show-interrupt-coalescing

Interrupt coalescing timeout is 500 (1280 decimal) microseconds Interrupt coalescing depth is 9 (9 decimal)

ok set-interrupt-coalescing

Note: The OpenBoot BIOS provides help when you enter a

command that does contain the proper arguments. In this

case, OpenBoot responds with:

usage is <timeout><depth> set-interrupt-coalescing

ok 100 8 set-interrupt-coalescing

OpenBoot BIOS 4-13

Interrupt coalescing timeout selected is 100 (256 decimal) microseconds Interrupt coalescing depth selected is 8 (8 decimal) Interrupt coalescing has been set Change will take effect after system reset

Note: The system must be power cycled before the changes take

4.7.6 Set FC Link Speed

There are two modes of operation for FC: 1 Gbit/s and 2 Gbit/s. It is important to match the speed of the port with the speed of the loop or fabric to which the port is attached.

LSI Logic has implemented autonegotiation on the 2 Gbit/s-capable, Fusion-MPT devices. If you are experiencing difﬁculty with the AutoNegotiate algorithm on your fabric or loop, or if you wish to set or show the link speed for the adapter manually, use the following procedure:

Select the port or adapter shown (use the port name your system assigns):

ok select /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1

effect. It is not sufﬁcient to execute the reset-all command.

Then enter commands as shown in the following example:

ok show-link-speed

Link speed selected is 1 Gbaud Current link speed is 1 Gbaud

ok set-link-speed

Note: The OpenBoot BIOS provides help when you enter a

command that does contain the proper arguments. In this

case, OpenBoot responds with:

ok show-link-speed

Link speed selected is autobaud Current link speed is 1 Gbaud

Note: The system must be power-cycled before the changes take

effect. It is not sufﬁcient to execute the reset-all command.

4.7.7 Persistent Device Naming

One of the most powerful beneﬁts of storage area networks (SANs) is scalability; the freedom to quickly add or delete storage components. To facilitate trouble-free SAN reconﬁgurations, you can save a list of devices currently connected to the host adapter. Later, if certain devices are powered off, the adapter ensures that the remaining devices appear at the same mount point. Technically, the LSI Logic host adapter “locks” the association of an FC target with an alias name reference. The LSI Logic host adapter manages the details. When you mark a device persistent, mapping information is saved on the LSI Logic host adapter in a nonvolatile memory device.

The following is an example of how to save devices in the persistent device table using LSI Logic Fcode:

Step 1. Select the controller you want to modify, making a selection

from the list as shown in Figure 4.1.

Figure 4.1 Select Controller

OpenBoot BIOS 4-15

Step 2. From the displayed list, select a device to mark persistent as

shown in Figure 4.2.

Figure 4.2 Select Device

/pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk has been selected.

ok select /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2 ok show-children

MPT Firmware Version 1.02.12 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST39173FC 6615 WWN 200000203710c4e8 PortID a3

Step 3. Type ^Y (Ctrl-Y) to insert disk name in the command line as

shown in Figure 4.3.

Note: The OpenBoot BIOS (Fcode) provides help when you enter

a command that does contain the proper arguments. In this

case, OpenBoot responds with usage syntax.

an entry in the persistent device map.

4.7.8 Manual Selection of FC Topology

Under certain configurations, you may want to force the selection of FC topology and disable the auto detect mechanism in the FC adapter. This can be done on a port-by-port basis by using the following procedure.

Note: It should not be necessary to change from automatic

detection of topology. Also, ﬁrmware version 1.00.03 is the

earliest version to support this functionality. The following is an example of how to select a manual topology N_Port

or NL_Port on a selected FC port. Select the controller you want to modify, as follows:

ok show-disks

a) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1/disk c) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom d) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk e) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/fdthree@14,3203f0 q) NO SELECTION

Enter Selection, q to quit: a /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk has been selected.

Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line. e.g. ok nvalias mydev ^Y for creating devalias mydev for /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2/disk

ok select /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,fc@2

Then enter commands as shown in the following example:

ok show-topology

Topology selected is auto Current topology is unknown (no link)

ok set-topology <-Command with no options provides help

usage is <topology> set-topology topology = 1 NL_Port

topology = 2 N_Port topology = a auto

OpenBoot BIOS 4-17

ok 1 set-topology

Topology selected is NL_Port Topology has been set

Change will take effect after system power cycle

ok 2 set-topology

Topology selected is N_Port Topology has been set

Change will take effect after system power cycle

ok a set-topology

Topology selected is auto Topology has been set

Change will take effect after system power cycle

Note: The system must be power-cycled before the changes take

effect. It is not sufﬁcient to execute the reset-all command.
