Introduction 0

In default configuration, the Quantum ATL P-Series tape library is controlled by a host computer through a SCSI differential bus that uses the SCSI-2 medium changer command set. There is also an RS-232 diagnostic port interface.
Through the installation of the FC230 Router with Prism Architecture™, you can easily convert the ATL P-Series library from a SCSI host interface to Fibre Channel. This document describes the FC230 router, including configuration procedures common to ATL P­Series libraries.
Note: The term “ATL P-Series” refers to the following ATL Tape
Library™ models: P2000, P3000, P4000, and P7000.

Fibre Channel Description

For a complete description of ATL P-Series library operating procedures, refer to the appropriate ATL P-Series Library User’s Guide.
Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with
0
computers and mass storage devices. Fibre Channel is rapidly emerging to challenge SCSI as the interface of choice for host-to­storage applications.
Fibre Channel advantages include:
Up to 500-meter connection range
1 GB/S data transfer rate
Support of up to 126 devices on a loop
Support of 24-bit addressing for over 16 million devices in point­to-point mode or fabric
Operating system independence
Interconnect flexibility
Full direct connectivity between all ports on a network, increasing the total throughput of all devices on a network

FC230 Router Operation

0
Once the FC230 router is installed and tested, the library operates exactly the same as a ATL P-Series library with a SCSI host interface.
Introduction 3

The look, feel, and operation of the library’s graphical user interface (GUI) panel remains unchanged.

Key to Successful Configuration of the FC230

0
The FC230 must be configured using the on-board FC230 router Services software. The key to successfully configuring the FC230 Option is to know how many:
SCSI buses are present in the library
SCSI devices are connected to each bus

FC230 Router Configuration 0

The FC230 router configuration includes the following steps:
Connect a Service PC to the Library
Start the FC230 Services Software
Upgrade the FC230 Firmware
Scan the SCSI Buses
Caution: If there is more than one FC230 board in the library, be
sure to repeat this procedure for each board.

BootScanPorts Used to specify which FC port
should be used to assign devices within a boot scan.
Addressmap B (port failover) overrides this command.

DisplayEvent (Immediate)
Clears the contents of the event log. clearevent
Displays the contents of the event log. The log is filtered by the current switch settings as described in the DispEvent section.
A set addressmap [A | B [1 | 2]]

30 set bootfibredelay [0 | 15 | 30]
get bootfibredelay
Auto set bootscanports [fp [fp [fp]]] | [all] | [auto]
get bootscanports
[all] indicates that all ports will be used. [auto] indicates that the FC bridge should detect which ports are in use.
displayevent < all >
< all > causes the display filtering to be temporarily suspended and all logged events to be displayed.

Command Description Default Syntax
DispEvent
Set the switches which control the filtering performed when displaying events. Switches have the following meanings and settings:
(subsystem) switch: mask that controls which subsystem events are displayed. The mask is a byte value with the following bit patterns corresponding to the currently supported subsystems:
0x01 FCP Processor /i960 Interaction
0x02 SCSI Processor/i960 Interaction
0x04 Ethernet (Future)
0x20 NVRAM & Flash
To display the events from several different subsystems, use a mask value equal to the logical OR of the corresponding subsystem values. To display events from all subsystems enter the value 3Fh for the mask.
(event_level) switch: mask that controls what reporting level events are displayed. The mask is a byte value with the following bit patterns corresponding to the currently supported reporting levels:
0x01 Info; general information
0x02 Warning; unexpected situation/condition
0x04 Critical; operation limited/curtailed
0x08 Failure; hard failure
0x10 Other; otherwise not categorized
0x20 Debug; tracking events
To display events from several different reporting levels, use a mask value equal to the logical OR of the corresponding reporting levels. To display events for all reporting levels enter the value 3Fh for the mask.
(status) switch: has the following two values which correspond to the status of the events to be displayed:
all All events, regardless of their status values are displayed.
ngood Only events with a status other than good are displayed.

Reservation of the FC230 is implicit; once the configuration image is changed by any user of services (Serial/Ethernet/ Etc.,) the FC230 becomes RESERVED. Performing a SaveConfiguration, RestoreConfiguration or FcRestart RELEASES the FC230 so that other devices may access it.
When the FC230 services interface is reserved, set commands are unavailable, but get commands are available. Note that at least one service interface always has access to the FC230 at all times. This interface always reports a RELEASED status, since it may issue set commands.

The Extended Copy command to query is specified by the CmdNumber for the command as presented in the SCStatus CLI command. The ‘DeviceType’ field displays the SCSI device type for each device. The ‘VendorId’, ‘ProductId’, and ‘Serial Number’ fields display the SCSI Inquiry data identifying the device. Note that the SerialNumber field displays up to 16 of the least significant digits of the device serial number. the ‘DataDirection’ field specifies whether a device is a data source, a data destination, or both as specified in the segment descriptors of an Extended Copy command; the field can take on the values [Source | Destination | Both].

XCError
Retrieves any SCSI sense data returned by an Extended Copy command as the result of an error. The Extended Copy command to query is specified by the CmdNumber for the command as presented in the XCStatus CLI command. The ‘SCSIStatus’, ‘SenseKey’, ‘ASC’, and ‘ASCQ’ fields display the sense data returned by the Extended Copy command. If a device involved in the command’s data transfer also returned sense data, that device’s serial number is displayed in the ‘DeviceId’ field and that device’s sense data is displayed in the ‘DStat’, ‘DSK’, ‘DASC’, and ‘DASCQ’ fields. Any field that does not contain valid data is filled in with 00.
XCStatus
Allows the user to poll for the status of Extended Copy commands issued to the FC. The ‘CmdNumber’ field presents a unique identifier for a particular Extended Copy command. The ‘ListId’ field displays the List ID specified in the CDB of the Extended Copy command. The ‘HostId’ field displays the 8-byte Node Name of the Fibre Channel host that issued the Extended Copy command. The ‘Status’ field displays the current state of the Extended Copy command, which can be [Initializing | Active | Done | Error]. The ‘Transferred’ field displays the amount of data transferred by the Extended Copy command in MB.
