  • Page 9 How the PowerVault 35F Works The PowerVault 35F is a storage bridge that translates Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from two SCSI buses so devices on these two types of media can communicate with each other. It attaches to a Fibre Channel host, and transfers the command, data, and status information to SCSI targets.

  • Page 10: Processing Scsi Information

    On a SCSI bus, the PowerVault 35F acts as a SCSI initiator passing requests from hosts on the Fibre Channel network to target devices on the SCSI bus. Each PowerVault 35F SCSI bus uses a single SCSI ID. The default ID is 7 and can be changed when configuring the PowerVault 35F.
  • Page 11 Introducing the PowerVault 35F: Dell PowerVault 35F User's Guide 5. The target interprets the command and prepares to either read or write data. 6. Data flows between the host and target through payload buffers. 7. Response information flows from the SCSI target back to the Fibre Channel host.

  • Page 12: Unpacking The Box

    3. Select a location that ensures the front intake vents and rear fan are clear of obstructions so air flows freely through the bridge. 4. Do not connect any devices or cables to the PowerVault 35F until the device is secured in a Dell rack or placed securely on a flat, level surface.

  • Page 13: Fibre Channel Connection

    PowerVault 35F. Figure 2. Configurations with tape library Switches may allow for individual ports to be configured for different media types. The PowerVault 35F must be connected to a switch port with a shortwave multi-mode fiber (1.0625 Gbaud Dual SC) connector.

Connecting the PowerVault 35F to a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network Follow the directions below to connect the PowerVault 35F to a Fibre Channel SAN. 1. Locate the Fibre Channel port on the back of the PowerVault 35F.

  • Page 17: Serial Port Connection

    Serial Port Connection The RJ11 connector on the rear panel of the PowerVault 35F provides an RS-232 connection that can be used to configure the PowerVault 35F, monitor diagnostic status, or to update the program stored in the PowerVault 35F’s Flash memory.

  • Page 20: Address Mapping

    General SCSI Configuration The PowerVault 35F appears on each SCSI bus as a single initiator. The default initiator ID is 7, and can be set via configuration to any valid SCSI address. No other devices on the SCSI bus may use this address.

  • Page 21: Indexed Addressing

    NOTE: The SCSI bus number corresponds to the physical SCSI ports on the back of the PowerVault 35F. For example, SCSI bus 0 corresponds to SCSI port 0 on the rear of the PowerVault 35F. SCSI bus 1 corresponds to SCSI port 1.

  • Page 22: Auto Addressing

    SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mapping is implemented in a fashion similar to Fibre Channel-to-SCSI Indexed Addressing mode. The PowerVault 35F responds to commands issued to a set of configured SCSI IDs, and maps these to Fibre Channel AL_PA/LUN values. The following table indicates a possible mapping for SCSI LUN to Fibre Channel AL_PA:LUN.

Target ID’s enabled for the PowerVault 35F must be unique on the SCSI bus, with the exception that the initiator ID used on the PowerVault 35F should also be used as a single target ID. For example, in SCSI-to-Fibre Channel mode, one of the targets must have the same ID as thePowerVault 35F.

    ID’s greater than 15 (e.g. 16 and up). This problem can be resolved by configuring the PowerVault 35F to use hard addressing, and setting the AL_PA used by the unit to a value that the HBA will map to an ID with a value less than 16.

  • Page 43 If you experience trouble communicating with the RS-232 port, verify the host terminal emulation configuration. The PowerVault 35F requires the baud rate to be set correctly, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. Flow control should be disabled, and may cause problems if set to ‘hardware’ or XON/XOFF. Some hosts may not support baud rates higher than 19200, so a lower baud rate may be required.

  • Page 85 PowerVault 35F to the specified FC device. Online For the PowerVault 35F, online indicates that at least one adapter in the PowerVault 35F is active and available for access. For a SCSI adapter, online indicates the SCSI adapter is active and available for access and input/output processing.
  • Page 86 Responder The logical function in an N_Port responsible for supporting the exchange initiated by the originator in another N_Port. A FC responder is comparable to a SCSI target. The PowerVault 35F is often the responder. Router A device which selectively forwards data between storage networks based on administratively defined preferences.
  • Page 87 A single unit on the SCSI bus, identifiable by a unique SCSI address. A SCSI device can act as an initiator or target. For SCSI-3, each SCSI device supports up to sixteen LUNs. SCSI Port An opening at the back of the PowerVault 35F providing connection between the SCSI adapter and the SCSI bus. SCSI Status A menu name used to show the number of SCSI devices on the bus.
  • Page 88 Topology The physical or logical layout of nodes on a network. FC topologies include point-to-point, FC-AL, and Fabric. The PowerVault 35F supports all topologies. A status type in the FC Status Menu showing the type of FC topology being used.
