Fibre Channel Connections

Before using the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2 with a Fibre Channel connection, note the following items:
3.1.2.1 For SE0X7F11X or SE0X7F12X
The following Fibre Channel card driver patch must be applied to use the single-channel 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel
card (SE0X7F11X) or the dual-channel 4Gbit/s Fibre Channel card (SE0X7F12X) for the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60
S2.

3.1.2.1.1 Setting the HBA drivers
Two connection methods (topologies) are available for SE0X7F11X and SE0X7F12X; a direct Fibre Channel
connection (FC-AL connection) method and a Fibre Channel switch connection method. Perform each setting
in the driver setting file (/kernel/drv/fjpfca.conf).
The following sections explain how to set the direct connection (FC-AL connection) and the Fibre Channel
switch connection.
●
For direct server connections
To establish a direct connection between the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2 and the server, the driver setting file
(/kernel/drv/fjpfca.conf) does not need to be changed from the default setting.
●
For connections via Fibre Channel switches (fabric connections)
To establish the fabric connection between the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2 and the server, a topology setting
and a target binding setting must be described in the driver setting file (/kernel/drv/fjpfca.conf). Target
binding is a method to determine the target ID of the device from the driver side. To set the target binding,
information such as the instance name of the HBA, the WWPN of the LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2, and the
target ID that is to be assigned is required.
To establish the Fibre Channel switch connection, set the zoning for the Fibre Channel switch. The zoning
range depends on the type of connection. The LT20 S2/LT40 S2/LT60 S2 cannot be recognized if the
zoning is set incorrectly. Always perform zoning that is appropriate for the operating mode.
For more details about how to edit the driver setting file, refer to the manuals of the HBAs.
