Scan Fibre Devices

The Scan Fibre Devices option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all the
connected devices by loop ID. It lists information about each device; for example,
vendor name, product name, and revision. This information helps when
configuring your 2600 Series Adapter and attached devices.

Fibre Disk Utility

The Fibre Disk Utility option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all the
connected devices by loop ID. You can select a Fibre Channel hard disk and do
one of the following tasks:
 Perform a low-level format
 Verify the disk media
Default
30 This setting specifies the number of seconds the software
seconds waits before resending a command to a port whose status
indicates that the port is down.
30 This setting specifies the number of seconds the software
seconds waits for a link that is down to come up.
6 This setting specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO)
modes if they are supported by the software driver. The RIO
modes allow posting multiple command completions in a
single interrupt. This setting supports the following modes:
 0—Interrupt for every I/O completion
 5—Interrupt when the interrupt delay timer expires
 6—Interrupt when the interrupt delay timer expires or no
active I/Os
2 (200μs) This setting contains the value used by a timer to set the
wait time before generating an interrupt.
No This setting enables or disables the interrupt:
 Yes—This setting enables the BIOS to use the interrupt
request (IRQ) assigned to the 2600 Series Adapter.
 No—The BIOS polls for the 2600 Series Adapter's RISC
controller mailbox command completion status.
