  • Page 65: Understanding The Fcr200 Configuration

    Understanding the FCR200 Configuration Of primary importance in configuring the FCR200 is determining the mode of operation required. The unit can be configured to support Fibre Channel hosts communicating with SCSI targets, or SCSI hosts communicating with Fibre Channel targets. The default configuration of the unit allows for Fibre Channel hosts to connect to SCSI targets.

  • Page 66: General Fibre Channel Configuration

    General Fibre Channel Configuration Soft Addressing Hard Addressing Understanding the Configuration An understanding of the basic characteristics of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices is recommended before configuring the FCR200. On a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop, the FCR200 appears at a single Arbitrated Loop Physical Address (AL_PA).

  • Page 67: General Scsi Configuration

    When connected to a Fibre Channel Switch, the FCR200 is identified to the switch as a unique device by the factory programmed World Wide Name (WWN). No further configuration is needed, although the WWN can be configured to a user-defined value through the configuration interface.

  • Page 69: Auto Addressing

    Table 5-1 The Indexed Addressing table has the structure shown in Table 5-1. The FCR200 will allow up to 80 device entries to be mapped. The index table can be manually edited, and is then saved to FLASH memory. Configuration assists allow for the table to be filled in order of increasing target, or LUN, as may be desired for the specific requirements needed.

    SCC Addressing SCSI Host to Fibre Channel Target Configuration Understanding the Configuration The FCR200 implements the SCSI-3 Controller Commands (SCC) (X3T10 Project 1047D Revision 6b 01-July-96) SCSI storage array addressing to address SCSI devices attached to the FCR200. The Access Method used is the SCC Logical Unit Addressing method.

  • Page 77: Host Device Configuration

    Host Device Configuration The host system using a Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) will typically map Fibre Channel devices into the existing device mapping scheme used by that operating system. This usually results in the Fibre Channel HBA mapping Fibre Channel AL_PA’s to SCSI target addresses. The HBA will claim enough SCSI bus entries to allow for 125 Fibre Channel targets to map to SCSI Bus:Target entries.

    Addressing, Structures and Operation Table D-1 SCC Addressing Structure Bits Bytes Address Method Table D-2 Peripheral Device Addressing LUN Structure Bits Bytes Fibre Channel and SCSI systems employ different methods of addressing devices. The inclusion of a bridge or router requires that a method of translating device IDs be implemented so that each SCSI device is mapped to the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN.

  • Page 124: Indexed Addressing Option

    Indexed Addressing Option Note The “-” indicates a null entry Addressing, Structures, and Operation Indexed Addressing allows for host bus adapter drivers that only use Peripheral Device addressing to access SCSI devices attached to the FCR200 unit. This is done by use of a table which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices.

  • Page 125: Auto Assigned Addressing Option

    Auto Assigned Addressing Option The Auto Assigned option is similar to the Indexed addressing, but with the distinction that the table used is created through SCSI device discovery on power up or reset, and not otherwise retained. As the unit performs device discovery on a SCSI bus, the Index table relating FCP LUN values is filled with adjacent FCP LUNs referencing each subsequent SCSI device.

    Adapter - A - Adapter A printed circuit assembly that translates data between the FC host processor’s internal bus and a different bus, such as SCSI. Address See SCSI Addressing. Addressing Mode Used to create a mapping table that maps devices on the SCSI bus to Fibre Channel logical units.
  • Page 132 Differential Differential An electrical signal configuration using a pair of lines for data transfer. The advantage of differential compared to single-ended configuration is a relative high tolerance for common-mode noise and crosstalk when used with twisted pair cables. Domain A FC term describing the most significant byte in the N_Port Identifier for the FC device.
  • Page 133 Fibre Channel - Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) transport mechanism that has no protocol of its own or native input/output command set, but can transport any existing Upper Level Protocols (ULPs) such as SCSI and IP. Fibre Channel - Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) One of three existing Fibre Channel topologies, in which 2 to 126 devices are interconnected serially in a single loop circuit.
  • Page 134 Mapping Table Mapping Table A table which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. It is used by the FCR200 to perform Fibre Channel-to-SCSI operations by default. See Management Information Base (MIB) on page gl-3. Multiplexer A device that allows two or more signals to be transmitted simultaneously on a single channel.
  • Page 135 Power On Self Test (POST) Power On Self Test (POST) A group of tests run when the FCR200 is powered Processor Contains the arithmetic and logic, control, and internal memory units that control the FCR200. - R - Reset SCSI For a specific SCSI bus, the host clears all inputs and outputs and then resets the bus and all the devices connected to it.
  • Page 136 SNMP SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. Speed A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the speed (1063 Mbps) of the FC adapter. - T - Target A SCSI device (usually the peripheral) that responds to an operation requested by a SCSI initiator (usually the host system).
