17.4.3 Setting up the SAN Data Gateway (datamover)
In order to perform the extended copy command from the datamover built into
the IBM 3583, we need to enable the datamover, as described in the following
steps (if you have already done this, just proceed to the second to last step):
1. On Windows, connect a null modem cable from the serial port on the top of
the gateway to a free serial port on the Windows workstation.
2. Open HyperTerminal and create a profile for the Gateway using:
– Bits/seconds: 19200
– Data Bits: 8
– Parity: None
– Stop Bits: 1
– Flow Control: XON/XOFF
3. Reset the box by typing initializeBox.
4. Enable the Command and control interface:
enableCC
5. Next rebuild the SCSI Mapping DB to get all the drive LUNs to show up in
order by issuing mapRebuildDatabase.
6. Next compress the DB to remove inactive devices:
mapCompressDatabase
7. Set the FC Connection to Point-to-Point protocol fcConnTypeGet (this displays
the current setting).
– 0 - loop
– 1 - point-to-point
– 2 - loop preferred
– 3 - point-to-point preferred
8. Issue the command fcConnTypeSet 1,1. This will set port 1 to point-to-point
(2,1 will set port 2).
9. Next set the port mode to public target and initiator: fcPortModeSet 1,19 (port
1 mode 19).
10.Set the host type for the machine that will control the library (very important if
you are switching this library from a different host type). Using hostTypeShow
will tell you the current settings. Use setHostX,OSName, where X = the port (0
will set all ports, 1 will set port 1, and 2 will set port 2) and OSName is one of
the following:
– AIX
– AS400
– HP-UX
– NETWARE
