Overview
The ADIC Gateway is the interfac e between storage and Op en System Host
interfaces and provides Fibre Channel to SCSI connectivity.
Configuration Support
The ADIC G ateway is a self-co nfiguring product with Fibre Channel and SCSI
interface options. The ADIC Gateway can have up to four on-board UltraSCSI
channels and up to six SAN interfaces, which are configurable using plug-in cards.
Address Mapping
The ADIC Gateway maps addresses across and between these different
interfaces and preserves the persistency of the address maps across power ups
of systems, devices, and the ADIC Gateway. The ADIC Gateway supports the
attachment of up to 255 unique devices across multip le interfac es.
Interface Protocol Awareness
The ADIC Gateway processes SCSI-3 and SCSI-2 protocols for disk, tape, and
tape medium changer devices. It can report the host and devices that are attached
to its interfaces. The ADIC Gateway has the capability to manage the access
security between end points on the Fibre Channel interfa ces and the SCSI
channels.
Introduction
13
ADIC Management Console
The ADIC Management Console offer s full c apability for remote management,
configurati on, and event notification. Each ADIC Gateway has internal Event
Logging, Event Analysis, and periodic Health Checks for predictive failure
analysis. All of these management, configuration, and notification capabilities are
accessible via standard SNMP protocol for use with major network manageme nt
applications. The ADIC Management Cons ole offers Java application softwa re for
the ADIC Gateway remote management and configuration.
Access Security Capabilities
The ADIC Gateway is aware of the hosts and devices that ar e attached to its
interfaces and provides access security between hosts and devices. Acces s
security between different hosts and devices i s a requirement for multi-initiator
SAN solutions. Using the ADIC Management Console, you can partition the SAN
for different levels of access and p erformance.
Virtual Private SAN™ Option
VPS technology enables Storage Area Networks with multiple users to share the
same connectivit y chann els or pipes to access the same or different storage
elements or resources. Therefor e, multiple virtual private connections can be
created on the same storage networking infrastructure.
VPS is a Virtual Private c onnection or channel between a storage element and the
user of that element in a Storage Area Network. Virtual Private SAN is created by
a method of Access Security that manages the access between an Initiator (user,
host, system, ..) to Target/LUN (Device, Disk or Tape, ...) and also protects and
preserves such permission.
• VPS is compl etely host independent and requires no software
components on the host.
• VPS has no interface depen dencies and supports Fibre Channel,
SCSI or any other SAN interface.
• VPS supports SAN connectivity/fan-out products such as hubs
and s witches.
• VPS is independent of the storage elements and r equires no
change in legacy or new storage devices.
An optional automatic host registration service that sends periodic host status
information to VPS is provided.
VPS is an optional software capability for the ADIC Gateway that requires a
license key to be enabled.
14
Configuration Support
Data Mover
The ADIC G ateway can move data directly between storage devices that are
attached to it. This direct movement of data can be from disk to disk, disk to tape,
tape to disk or tape to tape. Data Mover frees-up valuable system resources on
the serv er a nd substantially increases the speed of backup and restore
operations.
Data Mover is the engine for Server-Free backup and restore and HSM
applications that support the Extended Copy Specification (ANSI T10/99-143r1).
The Data Mover capability is always available to users of the ADIC Gateway
Virtual Private Map™ Option
VPM technology enables legacy and new systems equipped with S CSI Host Bus
Adapters to access SAN devices.
• VPM allows Fibre Channel and SCSI Target devices to be
mapped to private SCSI host channels.
• VPM is completely host independent and requires no software
components on the host.
VPM is an optional software capability for the ADIC G ateway that requires a
license key to be enabled before use.
Channel Zoning
Channel Zoning is a means of managin g the access security between SAN
connections and SCSI channels on a channel by channel basis.
Channel Zoning can be used to secure access between a se rver and its storage,
segregating them, for example, from other servers and their respective storage .
The default settings allow all SAN co nnections to access all SCSI Channels.
The Channel Zoning capability is al ways available to users of the ADIC Gateway.

results in the industry.
It has a standard integrated power entry, on/off switch, and fuse holder. It uses
two250V4Atimelagfuses.
The power supply status is monitored as part of the Enclosure Monitor Register
and is reported by the front panel LED, and to the ADIC Management Console.
LED Indicators
On the front panel there are LEDs that provide a vi sual indication of the status and
activity of the ADIC Gateway and its interfaces. Wh en the ADIC Gateway is first
turned on, some of the LEDs will be on and others will flash while it is booting.
Starting from the left of the fron t panel, the followin g list describes how to interpret
the LED signals after the ADIC Gateway has finished booting.
Figure 2-1: LEDs on Front Panel
• SAN Connections
A group of six green LEDs that indicate Status and Activity on the SAN
interfaces for each of the three PMC slots.
If a single-port Fibre Channel card is installed, the Status LED will be
ON when the port is up and is connected to a live Fibre Channel
device. The Activity LED will flash when there is activity on the SAN
interface.
If a dual-port Fibre Channel card is installed, the Status LED will be
ON when both ports are up and are connected to live Fibre Channel
devices. The Status LED will flash once per second when the num erically lower port is down and the numerically higher port is up. The
Status LED will flash every two seconds when the numerically higher
port is down and the numerically higher port is up. The Activity LED
will flash when there is activity on one or both SAN interfac es.
• SCSI Channels
A group of four green LEDs. OneLED for each of the four SCSI chan-

nels. A flashing Activity LED indicates activity on a SCSI Channel.
• Ethernet
A group of three LEDs (two green, one amber) indicate the Link,
Transmit, and Collision statuses of the Ether net Port network connection.
• Temperature
A group of two amber LEDs indicate Temperature Warning and Tem-
perature Alarm. Normally the LEDs are OFF indicating temperature
is within acceptable limits.
•Power
A green LED indicates the status of the main power supply. Normally
the Power LED is ON indicating that the power supply is ON and output voltage is within acceptable limits.
•RDY
A green RDY LED indicates a status of ready. Norm ally the RDY LED
flashes once per second i ndicating good health. The RDY LED
begins flashing after the ADIC G ateway has finished booting. If the
LED is ON for more than a few seconds it means there is a problem.
If the LED is OFF (and the ADIC Gateway is turned on) it means
there is a problem. If the LED is flashing rapidly (and you have not
selected “Identify Gateway” via the ADIC Management Console), it
means there is a problem.

Introduction to the ADIC Management Console
The D irector uses a combination of industry-standard Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) requests and a method or technology known as
SCSI over T CP, which encapsulates SCSI commands and/or data in TCP
packets.
Introductionto the ADIC Management Console
Client/Server Model
Figure 2-2: ADIC Management Console Application Model
Agent
Each ADIC Gateway is a stand-alone, S NMP-manageable host. The ADIC
Management Console uses SNMP as the primary method of communication with
the agents. This allows you to set and retrieve information that controls the
operation of the agent. It also provides alerts (traps) when an event has occurred
that requires intervention. The SCSI/TCP component allows you to update
firmware on the ADIC Gateways and target devices and manipulate device
operating parameters. The agent component is embedded in the operating
software of the ADIC Gateway.
Server
The Server component is a Java application that runs on a host computer system
(see “Installation Requirements”). The server is responsible for maintaining
communication with the managed agents, and acts as an interm ediary between
the agent running on the ADIC Gateway and multiple Clients. It provides security
features by maintaining account names and passwords on behalf of the Client
application. By keeping track of different Client views, a user can recall a saved
view from any Client.
The Server c oordinates the requests from multiple clients to manage multiple
ADIC Gateways. Communication between the Server and the agents is carried
out either by SNMP or SC SI/TCP, as required. Specifically, the Java Management
Application Programming Interface (JMAPI) is used where possible to provide an
industry standard and transportable interface. All communications between the
Clients and the Server is implemented using the J ava Remote Method Invocation
(RMI), a form of remote procedu re call (RPC).
Introduction to the ADIC Management Console
23
The Server is written to be both transportable and efficient. Multiple Clients can
share data the Server already knows about rather than having to request the data
again. In additi on, the Server receives all traps from the agents and forwards them
to the Clients that have registered to receive them.
Client
The Client is a Java application. One or more Clients connect to a Server in order
to manage the ADIC Gateways. The Client operates from any c ompatible
computer, as long as a TCP/IP connection is established to the Server
component. This allows for di al-in configurations using Point-to-Point Protocol
(PPP), intranet, or Internet access (where allowed by l ocal network policy and
firewall configurati ons). If the client is started on the same host as the server, a
connection will automatically be established.
The Client is the application that provides the userinterface and allows viewing
and manipulating of all ADIC Gateways and device parameters. Each Client can
be co nfigured by the individual user to show only the ADIC Gateways of interest.
This means that one Cl ient can monitor one set of ADIC Gateway s and othe r
managers can be responsible for totally di fferent ADIC Gateways, without
interfering with each other.
The C lient uses Java RMI calls to communicate with the server, and SCSI over
TCP to communicate directly to the A DIC Gateways for some operations.
Features
SNMP
SNMP community strings serve to group network devices into logical collections
for management purposes . The community strings on the Serv er must match
those on the ADIC Gateway you wish to manage.
There are three different strings defined for the ADIC Management Console:
Read for querying the ADIC Gateway.
Write for controlling the ADIC Gateway.
Trap for receiving event messages from the ADIC Gateway
The ADIC Gateway can maintain 32 Read and W rite community strings and 1
Trap community string.
24
Features
SNMP Community Support
A set of commands is provided for manipulating the SNMP Community strings.
These s trings act as passw ords for authenticating requests made from managing
applications such as the ADIC M anagement Console.
There are three different communities defined: Read (allows “Gets” only), Write
(allows “Sets”, i.e., changes to be made) and Trap (defines the Community string
that a trap recipient will allow). In order for a managing application to view or
control an SNMP agent (such as the ADIC Gateway), it must provide the correct
community string for eac h request. The A DIC Gateway allows up to 32 community
strings for each of the Read and Write communities. There is only a single Trap
community string.
Security
Logging on to a server is required to manage the ADIC Gateway via the ADIC
Management Cons ole application. Two levels of privilege control what type of
access is allowed:
Administrator
Allows full access, including changing parameters
User
Allows viewing of data and parameters onl y
Service Port access is managed with User accounts created via telnet or the serial
interface on the ADIC Gateway
SAN Access Control
Access control features include Channel Zoning, opti onal Virtual Private SAN
(VPS™) and optional Virtual Pri vate Map (VPM™).
Channel Zoning allows select ed SCSI channels to be available to selected SAN
connections.
The VPS option requires a software license key to enable the Initiator-Target/LUN
access control feature. VPS manages access permission between any host
attached to a SAN connection and any storage element attached to the ADIC
Gateway. This includes storage devices attached to any SCSI Channel and
storage devices attached to any other S AN Connection on the ADIC Gateway.
The VPM option requires a software license key to enab le target devices on any
channel to be mapped to any SCSI host c hannel.
Features
25
Host Registration Service
The Host Registration Service is software that installs on the host from the CDROM or it can be downloaded from the website. It simplifies VPS configuration for
the system administrator. It removes the burden of physically tracing each
connection to correlate the Fibre Channel HBA World Wide Name (WWN) with a
specific host.
The registration service installs on most host pla tforms and it provides the ADIC
Gateway with periodic host status information including the host name, hos t type
and ty pe of HBA installed. Host information is sent over the host Fibre Channel
connection to the ADIC Gateway.
Once installed, the service runs automatically and does not req uire further system
administra tor interaction. From the ADIC Management Console, you can see the
Fibre Channel that the host is connected to and you can tell whether the host is on
or offline.
Saved Views
Each user can store their own preferred views on the server. Loading a previous
view automatically connects the user to one or m ore ADIC Gateway in a single
step rather than specifying connections to ADIC Gateways individually. Because
they are stored on the server, the same views are available to th e user from any
client.
Network Discovery
Network discovery a llows y o u to locate any ADIC Gateway based on network
addresses and network masks. This allows m anagement of an AD IC Gateway
without knowing the specific Internet Protocol (IP) addres s beforehand.
Alternatively, the IP address (or name, if it can be resolved through DNS) of an
ADIC Gateway can be entered directly for instant access.
Configuration Options
You can set up an ADIC Ga teway with a number of non-default parameters,
channel settings, and event manage ment variables.
Software Updates
You canupdate the ADIC Gateway firmware from the client. You can also send
device micro-code to individual target devices as a means to update their
firmware.
26
Features
Event Logging
You can retrieve and view the ADIC Gateway event logs in a table. Filtering based
upon the significance of events simplifies fault isolation.
Health Checks
Instantaneous and periodic health checks allow monitoring of each SAN Gateway
and devices attached to it. The level and intervalof the healthcheck is selectable
to obtain greater confidence or minimize the impact on system performance.
Views
Two different viewing modes are available.
Tree view shows all available ADIC Gateways and can be expanded to show
greater levels of de tail.
Front panel view shows the status of the LED indicators for a selected ADIC
Gateway.
Heartbeat
Each component of the ADIC Management Console monitors the co mponents
with which it communicates to ensure continuity of service. If the ADIC Gateway is
no longer available, the server component notifies monitoring clients

termination are discussed below. High quality cables with the correct latches or
screws must be used at all times to ensure reliable connections. Cables are not
provided with the ADIC Gateway.
ADIC Gateway Setup
Note: Ensure that you read this section before you attach any devices
to the ADIC Gateway. A summary table appears at the end of this
discussion.
39
Maximum Number of LUNS
The ADIC Gateway supports up to 255 LUNS.
Attention: Do not attach more than 255 LUNS to the ADIC Gateway. Exceeding
the 255 LUN limit will result in unrel iable behavior.
Transfer Rates: Ultra, Fast, and Asynchronous
The SCSI protocol defines two methods of data transfer: synchronou s and
asynchronous. Asynchronous transfers may run as fast as 5 MHz, while
synchronous trans fers may run as fast as 160 MHz (Ultra3).
The rate of transfer is negotiated between a SCSI initiator, such as the ADIC
Gateway, and each target. For each target device identifie d during a bus scan, the
ADIC Ga teway will request a transfer rate at the fast est transfer rate supported by
the ADIC Gateway. The target will then reply with the maximum transfer rate it will
support.
Note: In general, devices that are capable of running at Ultra2/3 speeds should
not be mixed on a bus with slower devices, since the bus speed will be set to
match the slowest device on the bus.
Wide and Narrow SCSI Buses
A SCSI bus may be either narrow (8 bit) or wide (16 bit). The ADIC Gateway SCSI
buses are all wide, but may be connected to narrow devices with the correct cable
adapters.
Although it is possible to mix narrow and wide devices on a single SCSI bus, this
configurati on is not recommended. If any of the devices supports Ultra2/3 speeds,
then a mix of narrow and wide devices is prohibited.
In order for the ADIC Gateway to locate and communicate with the devic es, each
device on the SCSI bus must be assigned a unique target ID. On a wide (16 bit)
SCSIbus, the SCSIstandardallowsfor atotalof 16targetIDs.On a narrow(8 bit)
SCSI bus, the SCSI standard al lows for a total of 8 target IDs. There are no
requirements about the ordering or position of the target IDs on the SCSI bus. The
only requirement is that there be no duplicate target IDs. By default, the ADIC
Gateway uses ID 7. Thus, peripheral devices may be assigned IDs 0 through 6
and 8 through 15, typically selected by a switch or jum pers. T hese settings may
be changed.
Attention: Make sure you do not assign more than one device on a
bus to the same target ID. This will prevent that bus from working
properly.
40
ADICGateway Setup
The SCSI protocol also defines a prior ity-based arbitration method, based on the
target ID of the device attaching to the bus. The SCSI ID priority order is, from
highesttolowest,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8.
Table of SCSI Terminology and Limitations
The following table(look for updates at http://www.scsita.org/) defines the number
of devices supported, based on the negotiated transfer type. When reviewing the
limitations of a bus, the capabilities of the fastest devices must be considered. The
bus length indicates total SCSI bus length, including any internal device cables,
rather than the length between any two devices.

Notes:
1. The listed maximum bus lengths may be exc eeded in Point-to-Point and engineered applications.
2. Use of the word "Narrow", preceding SCSI, Ultra SCSI, or Ul tra2 SCSI is
optional.
3. Low Voltage Differential (LVD) was not defined in the original SCSI standards
for this speed. If all devices on the bus support LVD, then 12-meters operation
is possible at this speed. However, if any device on the bus is singled-ended
only, then the entire bus switches to single-ended mode and the distances in
the single-ended column apply.
4. Si ngle-ended is not defined for speeds beyond Ultra.
5. HVD (High Voltage Differential) is not defined for speeds beyond Ultra2.
6. After Ultra2 all new speeds are wide only.
SCSI Bus Termination
Each end of a SCSI bus must be terminated correctly. The ADIC Gateway
provides termination on each of its buses. The terminator s can be disabled using
a jum per on the ADIC Gateway motherboard. They c an als o be enabled or
disabled from the ADIC Management Console. Each interface has a separate
control for t he terminators.
42
Attention: Improper SCSI bus termination may result i n exce ssi ve err ors on the
SCSI bus, and may lead to data corruption or the inability to communicate with
target de vices.
The ADIC Gateway provides termination power on all SCSI buses for external
terminators.
Many SCSI target devices have internal terminators. It is imperative that the
terminators be disabled for all devi ces EXCEPT those at the physica l ends of the
SCSI bus.
Problems on the SCSI Bus
When A SCSI bus fails to operate correctly, it is most often caused by incorrect
connections to the SCSI bus. Common problems include:
• Missing terminat or at the end of a SCSI bus: Check that an
external termina tor is attached or that the end device has termination enabled.
• Excessive term ination: Checkthatalldevices otherthanthe end
ADICGateway Setup
devices have termination disabled.
• Multiple devices at the same ID: If two or more devices are
configured at the same SCSI ID , only one of those devices will
be s een by the ADIC Gateway, and data transfers to that devi ce
will be unreliable. Check that only one device is set to each ID.
• Target device set to initiator’sID:If a target device is set to the
same ID as the ADIC Gateway (ID 7), the bus will be unstable
and targets will not be identified. Check that no target devices
are set to ID 7, or if one must be set to 7, change the ADIC Gateway Initiator ID.
• Bent pins in a SCSI connector: The pins in the SCSI connectors
are somewhat fragile. Inspect each connector to find pins that
were bent when the connector was attached. Re place any cables
with bent pins.
• Improper device type: A DE device on an SE bus or an SE
device on a DE bus will cause the bus to be unusable.
• Improper terminator type: ADEterminatoronanSEbusoran
SE terminator on a DE bus will cause the bus to be unusable.
• Inadequate cables: Older cables may not be suitable for running
at Ultra speeds. Be sure all cables are rated for Ultra.
• Mixed cable types: If a SCSI bus has both round cables and flat
ribbon cables, it may suffer problem s when running at Ultra
speeds. Use the same cable type consistently for all segments of
the SCSI bus.
• Unshieldedcables:An unshielded SCSI cable us ed external to a
cabinet may cause reliability problems,due to interference from
other electrical devices. Use only shielded cables.
Connecting Power
The ADIC Gateway must be co nnected to AC Power with a voltage of 100 to 127
or 200 to 240 volts, at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz. A power switch is located next
to the power connector on the rear panel of the ADIC Gateway.
The ADIC Gateway uses two 250 V, 4 amp Time Lag fuses. They are located in
the fuse holder next to the power switch on the rear panel. If the ADIC Gatew ay
Main Pow e r LED does not light when the ADIC Gateway power cord is connected
to the power sourc e and is turned on, then check these fuses. Replace only with
F4AL-type fuses.
ADIC Gateway Setup
Note: A pr oper power cable is provided with each ADIC Gateway.
43
Other Installation Issues
Host Adapter Setup
Hosts ar e connected to the ADIC Gateway through specific Host Bus Adapters
(HBAs). The installation procedure varies slightly, depending on which adapter
you will be using. The procedure involves the se steps:
1. Install the adapter in the host system, following the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
2. Power on the host system and update the adapter firmware, if necessary.
3. Boot the operating system and install the device driver for the HBA.
4. Reboot and verify that the device driver has started and that expected target
devices are seen by the operating system.
5. Install optional utility software, if desired.
Perform steps 4 and 5 after the ADIC Gateway is installed and connected to the
host system.
Installing the SAN Explorer and Host Registration Service
The SAN Explorer s oftware a llows viewing all connected Fibre Ch annel, SSA and
SCSI devices. In addition, you can up date the code on all devices and vi ew the
LUN mapping through switche s to which your ADIC Gateway may be attached.
The software also has an option that lets you choose to install the Host
Registration Serv ice.
See the readme file in the [host type]/HOSTSW folder on the CD-ROM for
installation instructions . For software updates, vis it “Service and Support” at
www.adic.com, or call the ADIC Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-827-3822.
NSTALLING THE HOST REGISTRATION SERVICE
I
The Host Registration Service for Virtual Private SAN provides the ADIC Gatew ay
with periodic host status information including the host name, host type and HBA.
Host information is sent over the ho st connection to the ADIC Gateway. Once
installed, the service runs automatically and does n ot require further system
administra tor interac tion. From the ADIC Management Console, you can see the
Fibre Channel o r SCSI port that the host is connected to and you can tell whether
the hos t is on or offline.
44
Other Installation Issues
The default period is set to send host status every 15 minute s. If you want, you
can change the period to any value between 1 and 255 minutes. See the readme
file on the CD-ROM in the HOSTSW folder for the specific host platform you are
using. The readme file contains th e installation procedure and information about
changing how often host statu s information is sent.
For Windows NT and Windows 2000: See the readme file in the NT/HOSTSW
folder on the C D-ROM. The Host Registration Service installs as part of the SAN
Explorer executable. For software updates, visit “Service and Support” at
www.adic.com, or call the ADIC Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-827-3822.
For Solaris: A single program is provided for Solar is 2.6 that runs from the
command line or b y inclusion in a startup script. Installation is through a Solaris
"package".See thereadmefilein theSOLARIS/HOSTSW folder on the CD-ROM.

Center at 1- 800-827-3822.
Power-Up and Boot Sequence Guidelines
Before you reboot the ADIC Gateway, you must stop all I/O between the hos t and
SCSI devices.
The ADIC Gateway scans the SCSI buses when it boots. If you add or remove
SCSI devices after the ADIC Ga teway has booted, it will not detect the changes.
You can invoke a SCSI rescan or reboot from the ADIC Management Console
client or from the service terminal.
Before you turn on or restart the hosts that are connected to the A DIC Gateway,
you must wait unti l it has finished booting. You will know that the ADIC Gateway
has finished booting when the RDY light on the user panel blinks at intervals of
one second.
Some operating systems provide you with software methods that allo w you to add
or remove SCSI devices dynamically after the host has booted. To ensure reliable
operation, reboot the host.
Power-Up and Boot Sequence Guidelines
45
If you update ADIC Gateway fir m ware you m ust reboot in order to use the new
firmware. To ensure compatibility between the firmware features or functions and
the host, reboot the host.
If you update SCSI device firmware, the SAN Explorer application does not
display the new firmware version until the ADIC Gateway has issued a SCSI
Inquiry. The SCSI Inquiry occurs when it r e scans the SCSI buses. The same i s
true for the ADIC Management Console client application and the service
terminal.
Install the ADIC Management Console Software
The ADIC Management Console allows you to manage multi ple ADIC Gateways
from any loc ation on your network. The system consists of two Java applications.
You should install the Server on just a single system on yo ur network to manage
multiple ADIC Gateways from multiple ADIC Mana gement Console Clients.
This section describes the installation and initial configuration of the Server and
Client components. The installation for the A DIC Management Console consists
of thre e components, as described in “Client/Server Model” on page 23. The
agent component is provided as part of the operating software a lready installed on
the ADIC Gateway hardware.
The ins tallation program installs the appropriate software components on your
Server and Cl ient system. It also installs the required Java Runtime Environment.
ERVER
S
The system used for the Se rver does not need to be used as a Client and can be
placed in a locked closet. It does need network access to the ADIC Gateways it
will be managing, so appropriate routes will have to be set on that system and on
the ADIC Gateways.
LIENT
C
The Client system can be located anywhere, as long as it can connect to the
Server system using TCP/IP.
Installation Requirements
Minimum configuration guidelines are presented for each system platform in the
readme file located in the SANMGM T folderon the CD-ROM.For an updatedlist

ADIC Gateway Network Setup
The ADIC Gateway must be connected to a 10-base-T Ethernet network for use
with the ADIC M anagement Console software. An RJ-45 connector is l ocated on
the rear panel of the ADIC Gateway for connection to the Ethernet. You will need
to first configure the IP address by connecting a terminal or ter minal emulator to
the Service Port of the ADIC Gateway.
To configure the network, connect to the ADIC Gateway Service Port. See
“Connecting to the Service Port” on page 217.
For all of the follow ing examples, substitute the values you determined in Step 8 of
Table 3-1: “Pre-Installation Steps” .

ADIC Gateway Network Setup
Chapter 4: Understanding SAN Configurations
One of the functions of the A DIC Gateway is to c onnect hosts with on e kind of
interface, either as Fibre Channel or SCSl, to devices with different interfaces,
either Fibre Channel or SCSI. In a typical configuration, each ADIC Gateway
Storage Area Network interface is connected to either a single host or multiple
hosts using Fibre Channel hubs or switches.
It is important to understand how devices attached to the ADIC Gateway as
targets appear to the host systems. It is different than the way that targets attach
directly to a host system without any intervening ADIC Gateways, or bridges. See
also “Device Mapping” on page 110.
Device Configuration and Mapping
In SCSI terminology, a tape drive or a disk drive is attached to a “bus” and has a
unique addres s on that bus. There are three parts of the address in a conventional
parallel SCSI:
• Bus
• Target ID
• LUN
A simpl e case of several disk drives connected to the same bus is shown below.
Figure 4-1: Basic SCSI Connection to System
UnderstandingSANConfigurations
53
This configuration has a device map (from the device point of view) that looks like
this:
Table 4-1: Target Device Map
Target ID Device
0Disk(Target0)
1Disk(Target1)
7HostSystem
If a product such as an ADIC Gateway or a RAID controller is placed between the
system and the target devices, the addressing will hav e another lay e r. This is
because the targets (disk drives) are not directly attache d to the h ost. Instead, the
targets are connected to a SCSI bus that is part of the RAID controller or ADIC
Gateway, and they are not directly attached to the system. See Figure 4-2.
54
Figure 4-2: System With ADIC Gateway Attached Through Fibre Channel
This analysis would also be true even if the host interface and the device
channels are the same t ype, for example, Fi bre Channel host to Fibre Channel
disk drives, when an ADIC Gateway or RAID controller is used, or SCSI host to
SCSI tape drives. For more information on attaching SCSI hosts, see “Installing
and Us ing Virtual Private Map” on page 147.
Withthe introduction of an ADIC Gateway, a levelof indirection has been added
and the system now has only a single target ID directly attached to it (the ADIC
Gateway). The ADIC Ga teway forwards commands to and from its targets (the
disk drives). However, there is a need to map the devices (disks) so the host
system can use them. This level of indi rection i s handled through another layer of
DeviceConfiguration and Mapping
mapping, or LUNs. Th e device map might now look like this from the hos t point of
view:
Table 4-2: Host Device Map
Target ID LUN Device
0 0 ADIC Gateway
01Disk0
02Disk1
125 Host System
For simplification, hard IDs were chosen for th e Fibre Channel devices in the
mapping scheme. A hard ID is a number from 0 to 125 used in place of the World
Wide Name assigned to each Fibre Channel device. A soft ID is an ID assigned by
the ADIC Gateway during device discovery. Although a soft ID should never
change, when Fibre Channel devices are added or removed from a loop, the Fibre
Channel host may scramble their device IDs. When using Fibre Channel hubs or
switches, hard IDs are preferred because the host won’t lose track of the devices.
In the mapp ing scheme LUN 0 points to the ADIC Gateway. This allows you to
send commands to control the ADIC Gateway and is referred to as the Command
and Control LUN.
Host System Considerations
The host op erating system imposes limitation on the n umber of LUNs and target
IDs. It requires SCSI devic es to be mapped exactly the s ame way every time the
host is boote d. The ADIC Gateway has the ability to deal with these issues.
Mapping Devices to Ta rgets and LUNs
The most common SCSI impleme ntation in use (SCSI-2) allows eight LUNs per
target ID, so if you want to connect more than seven devices (remember, LUN 0 is
reserved for the ADIC Gateway), this address limitation needs to be circ umvented.
Fibre Channel and other serial interfaces implement a newer SCSI specification
(SCSI-3), which allows for many more LUNs per target.
The number of LUNs is still limited by the host operating system. In that case,
another abstraction is required from the host adapter (either in firmware on the
adapter or from the device driver on the hos t system). T his varies with the
implementation, but a common method is to cre ate additional “pseudo” target IDs
when y ou use up the eight-LUN allotment. In the previous example (adding more
drives), the host system “sees” that target 0 has LUNs 0 through 7, then target 1,
LUNs 0 through 7 for the next ei ght devices, continuing until all d e vices are
Host System Considerations
55
accounted for. With a SCSI-type mapping, there are 16 target IDs availabl e per
bus, but one must be reserved for the host adapter. This allows for 15 targets with
8 LUNs each, or 120 total devices.
Differento perating systems have different limits on the number o f LUNs
supported. For example, W indows NT 4.0 had an eight-LUN limit until the release
of Service Pack 4. The limit is now 255 LUNs per target ID. The increase implies
that you need not use “pseudo” targets. When operating system vendors
implement the new SCSI-3 specifications in their software, it w ill be possible to
exceed the SCSI-2 device addressing limits.
Persistent Device M aps
Some operating systems (e.g., Windows NT) may not care about the SCSI
address of a device when the system has booted.
Note: An exception might exist for devices, such as media changers that are not
handled by operating system device drivers. Instead, they are directly controlled
by an application, such as a backup program.
Users access the devices only by logical drive letters or network names. If no
devices are added or rem oved while the system is runnin g, there is no problem if
a device changes a ddresses w hen a system is rebooted again. Other operating
systems (e.g., UNIX) do care about the SCSI addresses and r equire constant
device addresses when mounting the file systems.
Newer serial technologies present problems for either case because they allow for
the dynamic addition and removal of devices. In the case of an interface that must
map a unique (but not changeable by switches) ID to a SCSI-like Target and LUN,
it is important that existing devices do not “move” around if new devices are
added. In this latter case, each device must have a constant address when the
system is rebooted. Within the ADIC Gateway,tables are maintained to ensure
“device persistence.” A s new devices are added, each one i s assigned a unique
LUN. If you remove a d evice, its L UN is reserved because there is the possibility
that the device was removed for maintenance purposes, or is temporarily
powered off. This address map can contain up to 255 entries and is stored in nonvolatile memory within the ADIC Gateway. Commands are provided to help you
maintain the dev ice map. A DIC M anagement Console’s
allows management of this persistent device map. You may also man age the
device map via the Service Port. See “Appendix A: Connecting to the Service
Port.”
Controls > Device Map
Alternate SCSI IDs
A host sends Inquiry or Test Unit Ready commands to a tape drive or changer
device during system startup when it scans the SCSI buses. If another host is
56
HostSystem Considerations
sharing the device and the device is busy doing I/O, it could take several minutes
for the device to respond.
In a standard queuing model, the command sent by the second host starting-up
would be blocked behind the I/ O command and could timeout, preventing the host
from finding the device. The ADIC Gateway can i ssue a comm and to the drive,
while another command is already in process by issuing the command from a
second or Alternate ID on the SCSI Channel. This technique allows the Inquiry or
Test Unit Ready to be processed immediate ly.
When a reservation is held for a device by an Initiator and the ADIC Gateway
receives a command from another Initiator for the same device, the ADIC
Gateway issues the command to the device by sending it from the Alternate ID.
The majority of the commands received by the ADIC Gateway will be returned to
the Initiator with RESERVATION CON F LICT status. The ADIC Gateway uses the
AlternateID to issue the following commands to the target device.
INQUIRY,
TEST UNIT READY,
PREVENT/ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL,
RELEASE,
REQUEST SENSE
EFAULT ALTERNATE SCSI ID
D
When the ADIC Gateway scans a SCSI Chann el, it determines which IDs are
currently being used by target devic es and sets the Alternate ID to the highest ID
not in use. The default Primary SCSI ID is 7. If no target is present at ID 6, the
ADIC Gateway chooses ID 6 for the Alternate ID. Both the Primary ID and
Alternate ID may be explici tly set if necessary.
HANGING THE ALTERNATE SCSI ID
C
The Alternate ID can be set t o any SCSI ID between 0 and 15. A system
administrator coul d choose to explicitly set the ID to prevent the ADIC Gateway
from selecting a particular ID not currently in use. This allows a device with a
particular ID to be added in the future. Performance criteria based on SCSI Bus
Priority may also be a good reason for ex plicitly setting both the Primary and
Alternate SCSI IDs rather than accepting the defaults. See “SCSI Channel” on
page 105.
Adding and Replacing SCSI Target Devices
If new SCSI devices are added to the ADIC Gateway, the SCSI buses must be rescanned for the ADIC Gateway to detect them. You can use the scsiRescan
Adding and Replacing SCSI Target Devices
57
command from the terminal or system connected to the service port or the ADIC
Management Console to request a SCSI rescan.
Attention: Do not attach more than 255 LUNs to the ADIC Gateway. Exceeding
the 255 LUN limit will result in unrel iable behavior.
Replacing an Existing SCSI Device
If you have to replace a SCSI target device, remove the old device, set the new
device to the same SCS I ID as the old device and attach i t to the same SCSI
channel on the ADIC Gateway.Perform a SCSI rescan to update the configuration
data. The new device will be available to host systems with the same LUN as the
old device.
Setting up Access Control
The ADIC G ateway allows you to connect more than one ho st to it. In its default
configuration, all hosts can access all target devices. Host operating systems do
not always handle multiple systems using the same target devices
simultaneously. When more than one host tries to use the same disk dr ives or
LUN, the file system s on those devices become corrupted. Or, if multiple hosts
access the same tape device, backup and restore operations might be
interrupted.
You can choose from three Access Control options that can be enabled in the
ADIC Management Console application.
If you choose Channel Zoning, you can set the desired access between Fibre
Channel connections in initiator mode and any port in target mode.
If you choos e Virtual Private SAN, you can set the desired access permissions
between individual hosts and individual LUNs.
If you choose Virtual Private Map, you can set the desired access pe rmissions
between SCSI hosts and individual LUNs.
For further information about Channel Zoning, Virtual Private SAN, and Virtual
Private Map, see “Access Options” on page 97.
Note: Cluster configurations and some newer backup programs do manage
concurrent access to devices.
Attention: If Access Control is not utilized for tape devices, the tape application
must support RESERVE/RELEASE or p rovide some method (via hardware,
software or manually) to control access to data on tape.

Fibre Channel Port Modes and Connection Options
The Fibre Channel ports support P rivate and Public Fibre Channel Fabric Loop
attachments. Both Loop and Point-to-Point connection options are available. The
default Port Mode setting is Public Target and the default connection setting is
Loop. From the ADIC Management Console, you can view the settings and
change port parameters.
Port Mode Options
TARGET
In this mode, the port operates as a Target allowing a Fibre Channel Initiator (Host
orFCswitch)toattachtoit.
NITIATOR
I
In this mode, the port operates as an Initia tor allowing Fibre Channel Targets
(disks, tape devices, or FC switch) to attach to it.
ARGET AND INITIATOR
T
In this mode, the ADIC Gatewa y has access to target devices on the Fibre
Channel, and Initiators on the Fibre Channel have access to Targets attached to
the ADIC Gateway. The port operates simultaneously as a Target and Initiator.
RIVATE
P
With this option, the ADIC Gateway scans the local loop for devices but does not
check for Fabric devices. You can select this option if you are conne cting target
devices directly to the port.
UBLIC
P
With this option, the AD IC Gateway scans the loop for Fabric devices. If it finds a
Fabric device, it logs-in and queries the Name Server for target devices that are
available on the Fabric. If it finds Targets attach ed to the Fabric, it adds all of them
to the device map. You can select thi s option if you are connecting a Fibre
Channel switch to the port and you want the ADIC Gateway to have access to all
of the availa b le target devices attach ed to the switch. Otherwise, if target devices
are connected directly to the port, it automatically switches to Private mode.
FibreChannelPort Modesand Connection Options
59
Connection Type Options
LOOP
With this connection option, the port oper ates with attached loop-capable devices.
If a point-to-point device is attached, th e ADIC Gateway will not be able to
communicate with it.
OINT-TO-POINT
P
With this connection option, the port supports point-to-point fabric connecti on
(F_Port Login). It also operates in “old port mode” for compatibility with N_Port
devices that do not support Loop. If loop-capable dev ices are attached, the ADIC
Gateway will not be able to communicate with them.
OOP PREFERRED
L
With this connection option, the port operates in Loop mode un less it detects a
connection to an N_Port device in which cas e it automatically swi tches to Pointto-Point.
OINT-TO-POINT PREFERRED
P
With this connection option, the port operates in Point-to-Point mode unless it
detects a conn ection to a loop device in whi ch case it automatically switches to
Loop.

Preserving the ADIC Gateway Configurations
It is important to preserve the mapping of device addresses. The ADIC Gateway
automatically saves the device map in non-volatile memory to ensure the
persistence between boots and power cycles. For information on device maps,
see “Persistent Device Maps” on page 56. Note that the Ethe rnet addresses and
names are not included in the “saved” confi guration file.
To provide a backup of the device maps and other configured parameters, you
must use the ADIC Management Console to save e ach ADIC Gateway’s
configuration when you :
• Install the ADIC Gateway
• Add new devices
• Remove devices perman ently
• Change Target IDs or LUNs
Preserving the ADIC Gateway Configurations
Use the ADIC Management Console to save or load the configuration. See “Save
SAN Gateway Configuration” on page 90. You must save the configuration so that
it can be reloaded in case you or the service representative must replace the
ADIC Gateway base.
Note: Save a backup copy of your ADIC Gateway configuratio ns frequently.
Updating the ADIC Gateway Software
The ADIC Gateway is a programmable device and contains an operating system
and operational firmware. If you are instr ucted to update yo ur firmware, see
“Update Firmware” on page 117.

Menus allow you to select views of one or more ADIC Gateways and the devices
connected to them, and to perform various actions. From the main screen, six
major menu groups are available:
• File
• View
• Admin
• Tools
• Controls
• Help
Some menu options will appear grayed, signifying they are currently disabled.
Options can be disabled for one of two reasons:
• Insufficient user privileges or
• The option does not apply to the currently selected item.
There are two privilege modes:
• User
User privilege allows you to view data, but does not allow you to make
changes to ADIC Gateway setti ngs, configurations, or user accounts.
• Administrator
Administrator privilege allows you to have full access to all options.
Unless otherwise noted below, administrator privilege is required to modify any
parameter.
