Quantum TC2201 User’s Guide Troubleshooting Various problems can arise when configuring and using the TC2201. This section is provided to help guide the user through some of the basic methods of identifying faults in the setup and configuration of the unit.
Page 77: Figure 44 Tc2201 Leds
When this indicator is amber, this indicator shows that the TC2201 detects a fault condition. Faults can occur as a result of Power On Self Test (POST) failure or operational failures.
Page 78: Basic Verification
• Device ID—Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique ID. Also check the configured ID’s for the TC2201 to verify these are not in use by other devices on the same SCSI bus. • Cabling—Check SCSI cables to verify they are functional. SCSI rules for total length, distance between devices, and stub length must be adhered to.
Page 79: Verify Iscsi Connection
Quantum TC2201 User’s Guide • SCSI Devices—Verify that the SCSI devices on a particular SCSI Bus can be seen in the by the TC2201. Check the Discovery page to verify visibility of devices. If the TC2201 can not see the devices, verify SCSI configuration, cabling, and termination.

Page 85: Inband Scsi-3 Commands
Quantum TC201 User’s Guide The TC2201 supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received inband over iSCSI. When received by the TC2201, these commands are then executed by the TC2201 itself. When using SCSI-3 commands to access general management features, the commands can be sent to device LUNs that are mapped through the TC2201.
Page 86: Appendix B Inband Scsi-3 Commands General Commands
The TC2201 supports the Report LUNs command. The Report LUNs command will return a list of Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) that can receive commands. The format of the report LUNs command is shown in Table B-1.
