Verify the Fibre Channel adapter installation

1. To verify that the system recognizes the HBA, view the output listing from the following
command:
# ioscan -fnC fc
2. Verify the following drivers appear for each installed adapter. If all the drivers are listed,
proceed to the section titled verifying connectivity.
The ioscan -fnC fc output will display the following:
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description

The third column represents the hardware path of the slot that the adapter is installed. This
path will be different for each installed adapter port.
3. Observe whether the ioscan output reports the following:
fc 0/4/0/0/0/1 UNCLAIMED UNKNOWN
If reported, HP-UX detected the adapter but the fclp driver is not recognized.
4. If the correct driver is installed and the adapter is not listed in the ioscan output, contact
HP for assistance.

Verifying connectivity

Verifying connectivity 19
 Once the HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage software and hardware are installed and running, use
the following steps to verify connectivity:
1. Check the state of all Fibre Channel hardware and interfaces. Enter the ioscan command
and verify the Hardware State and the hw Interface state are CLAIMED.
If the Fibre Channel device file has not been created, enter the following commands:
# insf -e
# ioscan -f
2. Verify that all devices you have attached to the Fibre Channel adapter are listed in the
ioscan output.
If all the attached devices are listed and appear as CLAIMED, the HP Fibre Channel Mass Storage
installation is verified.
If all the attached devices are not listed or appear as CLAIMED, see the Troubleshooting and
Maintenance chapter of the HP Fibre Channel Adapters Support Guide.

Interpreting hardware paths

The following examples illustrate the Fibre Channel hardware path format.

NOTE: With HP-UX 11i v3, there is a new option for displaying the hardware path format
called agile (new-style) display format.
In this new display format, there are two components in the hardware path: 1) the target port
worldwide name (for example, 0x500508b300925641); and 2) the LUN ID (for example,
0x1000000000000)
To display hardware path information in the agile (new-style) format, use the N option in the
command line; for example, ioscan -fNH /0/4/0/0/0/0 .

Example 3-5 Legacy (pre-HP-UX 11i v3) hardware path for a direct fabric attach device

Example 3-6 Hardware path for a private loop device

the Arbitrated Loop Physical
Address (AL_PA_ of the target
device.

For LUNs with Logical Unit Addressing, the value id the Target field
of the LUN.

For LUNs with Volume Set Addressing (Flat Space Addressing), the
value are bits 3–6 of the LUN.

LUN Depends only on the LUN addressing method used.

LUN Addressing Method Value of LUN field in Fibre Channel hardware path.

Peripheral Device Addressing The Target or LUN field of the Logical Unit Number.

Interpreting hardware paths 21

 Table 3-1 Hardware path field descriptions (continued)
Logical Unit Addressing The LUN field of the Logical Unit Number.

Volume Set Addressing Bits 0 — 2 of the Logical Unit Number.

(Flat Space Addressing)

For more information about the fields in the Logical Unit Number, see the SCSI Architechture
Model — 3 (SAM-3) standards document.

4 Troubleshooting
This chapter contains information to help resolve HBA problems that might occur. The chapter
contains the following sections:
• “Using the Event viewer” (page 23)
• “Viewing the Event log” (page 23)
• “Accessing the Windows miniport event log codes” (page 23)

Using the Event viewer

The miniport drivers verify the condition of the HBA's POST LED states. If there is a failure or
a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the Windows event log. Use the Event Viewer
to access the event log.

Viewing the Event log

Use the following procedure to view the Event log.
1. Click Start > Programs > Administrative Tools >Event Viewer, or right-click My Computer
and select Manage.
2. Click Event Viewer in Computer Management.
The Event Viewer window appears.
3. See the following section for information about interpreting the event codes.
“Accessing the Windows miniport event log codes” (page 23)

Accessing the Windows miniport event log codes

To obtain the relevant documentation from the Smart Component kit you used to install the
driver:
1. Click the Smart Component.
2. Click EXTRACT.
3. In the pop-up window, select a folder for extracting the files, and then click OK.
4. Review the error code in formation from the relevant file.

NOTE: The Emulex Storport miniport driver records error events in the Windows System Event
log. The Storport and SCSIPORT minidrivers documentation describes the event log format and
how to interpret the information in the log. Use the documentation specific to the miniport driver
that you are running.
