  • Page 19: Determining Fibre Channel Devices Connected To Fc Adapter

    Determining Fibre Channel Devices Connected to FC Adapter There is no way in the HP e3000 system firmware Main Menu to identify the FC devices connected to an FC adapter card. Running ODE MAPPER2 from ISL does help to identify some FC devices but even this may not list out all the LUNs under the FC devices.
  • Page 20 HP OPEN-3 shown with paths 0/8/0/0.0.0, 0/8/0/0.0.1 and 0/8/0/0.0.105. The last components of these paths refer to the LUN number of these disks. The type HP OPEN-3 usually refers to an XP512 device disk. Since the hardware paths of these three disks come under Nport 0/8/0/0.0, they all fall under the same Nport in the XP512 device.
