    Features Overview The SNC is the interface between storage and Open System Host interfaces and provides Fibre Channel to SCSI connectivity as well as the ability to manage the library and other devices within the storage network. One possible configuration is illustrated in Figure 1-1.
  • Page 24: Configuration Support

    Configuration Support The SNC provides two Fibre Channel interfaces. The FC interfaces are configured with Giga Bit Interface Converter (GBIC) modules. In addition, the SNC has four Ultra2 SCSI interfaces. The Ultra2 interfaces are Low Voltage Differential (LVD). See Figure 1-2: Figure 1-2: Configuration Detail Address Mapping The SNC maps addresses across and between these different interfaces and preserves the...

  • Page 31: Introduction To The Adic Management Console

    Introduction to the ADIC Management Console The ADIC Management Console uses a combination of industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) requests and a method or technology known as SCSI over TCP, which encapsulates SCSI commands and/or data in TCP packets. Client/Server Model Figure 1-4: Client Server Model The ADIC Management Console is part of a three-part client/server model.
  • Page 32: Client

    TCP, as required. Specifically, the Java Management Application Programming Interface (JMAPI) is used where possible to provide an industry standard and transportable interface. All communication between the Clients and the Server is implemented using the Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI), a form of remote procedure call (RPC). The Server is written to be both transportable and efficient.
  • Page 33: Snmp Community Support

    SFM manages access permission between any host attached to an SNC SAN connection and any storage element attached to the SNC. This includes storage devices attached to any SCSI Channel and storage devices attached to any other SAN Connection on the SNC.
  • Page 34: Host Registration Service

    Host Registration Service The Host Registration Service is software that installs on the host from the CD-ROM or it can be downloaded from www.adic.com. It simplifies SFM configuration for the system administrator. It removes the burden of physically tracing each connection to correlate the HBA World Wide Name (WWN) with a specific host.

    SERVER The system used for the Server does not need to be used as a Client and can be placed in a locked closet. It does need network access to the SNCs it will be managing, so appropriate routes will have to be set on that system and on the SNCs. CLIENT The Client system can be located anywhere, as long as it can connect to the Server system using TCP/IP.

SFM can be used to allow multiple Fibre Channel hosts connected directly or via switches and hubs to be able to share the same SCSI or Fibre Channels while restricting their access to selected LUNs.

A Trap Threshold is preset for each event so that when the number of instances of that event reaches the threshold, a trap will be sent.
  • Page 109: Health Check

    While an SNC is being monitored, the Server application periodically attempts to communicate with it (every two minutes). A fault is reported to any interested Client if an SNC is no longer available. While a Client is connected to a Server, the Client periodically tests the connection to the Server to make sure it is still available.

It has no interface dependencies and supports Fibre Channel, SCSI or any other SAN interface. It is also independent of the storage elements and requires no change in legacy or new storage devices.
  • Page 114: Host Registration

    Any HBA (or Initiator) that is added to a SAN connection at a later time will only have access to the SNC Command and Control LUN. In this case, the system administrator must explicitly set access privileges to the desired storage element for each host connection.
  • Page 115: Installing Scalar Firewall Manager

    It is important for the system administrator to know whether hosts are online or offline when configuring SFM access settings. A Host Registration Service is provided to simplify SFM configuration and it allows the system administrator to monitor host status. It removes the burden of physically tracing each connection to correlate the Fibre Channel HBA WWN with a specific host.

    Appendix A: Connecting to the Service Port The service port is an RS-232C Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) port, configured at 19200 Baud, with 8 data bits, no parity and hardware flow control. The 9-pin connector is compatible with serial ports on PCs. A PC may be used to connect to the service port, using a 9-pin to 9-pin null modem cable.

    2. Remove the Ethernet cable if installed. 3. Connect the terminal to the Service Port. 4. From the service terminal, type the hlthChkNow command. 5. Check the results displayed on the service terminal to determine the status of the interfaces and attached devices. If a failure is indicated, perform the appropriate MAP. Event Log Dump The events that have been logged in the SNC’s Event Log can be displayed on the service terminal or viewed from the ADIC Management Console.

    Appendix D: POST Error Codes The Power-On-Self-Test (POST) is responsible for testing the integrity of the processor’s SDRAM. After testing SDRAM POST will attempt to transfer control to either the default bootrom image or an alternate image. POST can also download binary images over the service port and write them to flash memory.

    IpostMain starts by initializing the service-port and the system PLD(s). The ERR LED will extinguish and the RDY LED will turn on. POST will display the following message on the service port: == POST Version nnn == IMPLE CCESS Figure D-3: Simple Access The simple access test verifies that the processor can perform basic writes and reads to the SDRAM.

    ATTERN Figure D-6: Pattern Test This test writes and reads a series of diagnostic patterns to each memory location in SDRAM. This test is identified by the repeated flash of the SCSI2 LED. This test can take several seconds to complete. DDRESS Figure D-7: Address Test This test writes and reads address tags to memory to test for bad SDRAM address lines.

TART OF OOTROM When POST starts a bootrom image it will display a line like: Bootrom (*FFF00100)(2) The number in the first parenthesis is the address of the bootrom’s startup code.
