    Agency Approvals • Features Overview The ADIC Gateway is the interface between storage and Open System Host interfaces and provides Fibre Channel to SCSI connectivity. Configuration Support The ADIC Gateway is a self-configuring product with Fibre Channel and SCSI interface options. The ADIC Gateway can have up to four on-board UltraSCSI channels and up to six SAN interfaces, which are configurable using plug-in cards.

    VPS is a Virtual Private connection or channel between a storage element and the user of that element in a Storage Area Network. Virtual Private SAN is created by a method of Access Security that manages the access between an Initiator (user, host, system, ..) to Target/LUN (Device, Disk or Tape, ...) and also protects and...

    Channel Zoning is a means of managing the access security between SAN connections and SCSI channels on a channel by channel basis. Channel Zoning can be used to secure access between a server and its storage, segregating them, for example, from other servers and their respective storage.

    Ethernet The 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port has an RJ-45 connector for out-of-band management. It can be connected to a network hub using an unshielded twisted- pair Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port complies with the IEEE 802.3 specification. Service Port The service port is an RS-232 connection with a 9-pin D-shell connector (DTE). It is compatible with serial ports on personal computers.

  • Page 39: Client/Server Model

    Client/Server Model Figure 2-2: ADIC Management Console Application Model Agent Each ADIC Gateway is a stand-alone, SNMP-manageable host. The ADIC Management Console uses SNMP as the primary method of communication with the agents. This allows you to set and retrieve information that controls the operation of the agent.

  • Page 40: Client

    The Server is written to be both transportable and efficient. Multiple Clients can share data the Server already knows about rather than having to request the data again. In addition, the Server receives all traps from the agents and forwards them to the Clients that have registered to receive them.

    The VPS option requires a software license key to enable the Initiator-Target/LUN access control feature. VPS manages access permission between any host attached to a SAN connection and any storage element attached to the ADIC Gateway. This includes storage devices attached to any SCSI Channel and storage devices attached to any other SAN Connection on the ADIC Gateway.

  • Page 42: 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 the website. It simplifies VPS configuration for the system administrator. It removes the burden of physically tracing each connection to correlate the Fibre Channel HBA World Wide Name (WWN) with a specific host.

  • Page 43: Event Logging

    Event Logging You can retrieve and view the ADIC Gateway event logs in a table. Filtering based upon the significance of events simplifies fault isolation. Health Checks Instantaneous and periodic health checks allow monitoring of each SAN Gateway and devices attached to it. The level and interval of the health check is selectable to obtain greater confidence or minimize the impact on system performance.

  • Page 56: Maximum Number Of Luns

    Maximum Number of LUNS The ADIC Gateway supports up to 255 LUNS. Attention: Do not attach more than 255 LUNS to the ADIC Gateway. Exceeding the 255 LUN limit will result in unreliable behavior. Transfer Rates: Ultra, Fast, and Asynchronous The SCSI protocol defines two methods of data transfer: synchronous and asynchronous.

  • Page 57: Table Of Scsi Terminology And Limitations

    The SCSI protocol also defines a priority-based arbitration method, based on the target ID of the device attaching to the bus. The SCSI ID priority order is, from highest to lowest, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8. Table of SCSI Terminology and Limitations The following table (look for updates at http://www.scsita.org/) defines the number of devices supported, based on the negotiated transfer type.

  • Page 58: Scsi Bus Termination

    Notes: 1. The listed maximum bus lengths may be exceeded in Point-to-Point and engi- neered applications. 2. Use of the word "Narrow", preceding SCSI, Ultra SCSI, or Ultra2 SCSI is optional. 3. Low Voltage Differential (LVD) was not defined in the original SCSI standards for this speed.

  • Page 59: Connecting Power

    devices have termination disabled. • Multiple devices at the same ID: If two or more devices are configured at the same SCSI ID, only one of those devices will be seen by the ADIC Gateway, and data transfers to that device will be unreliable.

  • Page 60: Other Installation Issues

    Other Installation Issues Host Adapter Setup Hosts are connected to the ADIC Gateway through specific Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). The installation procedure varies slightly, depending on which adapter you will be using. The procedure involves these steps: 1. Install the adapter in the host system, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.

  • Page 61: Power-Up And Boot Sequence Guidelines

    The default period is set to send host status every 15 minutes. If you want, you can change the period to any value between 1 and 255 minutes. See the readme file on the CD-ROM in the HOSTSW folder for the specific host platform you are using.

  • Page 62: Install The Adic Management Console Software

    If you update ADIC Gateway firmware you must reboot in order to use the new firmware. To ensure compatibility between the firmware features or functions and the host, reboot the host. If you update SCSI device firmware, the SAN Explorer application does not display the new firmware version until the ADIC Gateway has issued a SCSI Inquiry.

The device map might now look like this from the host point of view: Table 4-2: Host Device Map Target ID For simplification, hard IDs were chosen for the Fibre Channel devices in the mapping scheme. A hard ID is a number from 0 to 125 used in place of the World Wide Name assigned to each Fibre Channel device.

    accounted for. With a SCSI-type mapping, there are 16 target IDs available per bus, but one must be reserved for the host adapter. This allows for 15 targets with 8 LUNs each, or 120 total devices. Different operating systems have different limits on the number of LUNs supported.

    Appendix D: Remote Event Notification Several features of the ADIC Management Console were designed to assist with the maintenance and service of the ADIC Gateway. These are described in the following sections. Event Logging and Viewing The ADIC Management Console allows you to retrieve and view event log information that is stored in the non-volatile memory of the ADIC Gateway.

Figure D-1: Viewing Events in the Event Log Events and Traps Events are recorded in the ADIC Gateway event log. For each event, an assigned Viewing Level corresponds with the event log facility available to the Client application (all events are recorded in the ADIC Gateway log regardless of the assigned level).

Heartbeat events are not logged in the event log because SNMP traps are not issued (traps can only come from a ADIC Gateway).

  • Page 327: Health Check Level Control

    Health Check failure events are recorded in the event log and the trap is always sent on each occurrence. Figure D-3: Successful Health Check Health Check is enabled when the level is set to a value greater than 0. This can be set from the Client application or from the service terminal.
