Installation 2-3
Recording Reference Numbers
Each HBA ships with a unique address identifier that is stored in flash
memory. Fibre channel industry standards issue two unique identifiers:
WorldWide Port Name (WWPN) and Node Name (NN), each of which is
derived from the HBA’s IEEE address. Combined, the WWPN and NN create
the WorldWide Name (WWN) which is an 8-byte field that uniquely identifies
an HBA on a FC circuit.
Recording the Address and Serial Number
The WWN address and serial number are clearly marked on the HBA. Record
the addresses on the lines below for future reference.
IEEE address: __________________________________________________
Serial number: __________________________________________________
Installing the HBA into a Computer
Following is the procedure for installing the HBA into a computer.
WARNING: Be sure to observe the ESD precautions for this procedure.
1. Make sure the computer is powered down and the AC power cord is

Tru64Unix Driver and Console Software
The HBA driver is built into the Tru64Unix operating systems and supported
by Console software. For the supported versions of Tru64Unix operating
systems and Console software, consult the HBA Release Notes included in this
documentation package. Release notes are updated periodically and can be
obtained from the Compaq website:
Drill down through Services and Support to Adapter Support.
See the documentation specific to your platform for detailed information on
installing the appropriate operating system and Console software.
-SHOW ADAPTER / -SET ADAPTER Commands
V5.6 SRM console and higher revisions have the capability of setting an HBA
to run in arbitrated loop mode or in fabric (switch) mode. If an HBA in loop
mode is connected to a switch, the results are unpredictable. The same is true
for an HBA in fabric mode that is connected to a loop. By default, the console
assumes a fabric topology. The SET ADAPTER command stores the selected
topology into the NVRAM storage on the HBA. If the HBA is moved from
one AlphaServer to another, this setting stays with the HBA. The V5.6 or
greater supports the FCAL (loop) topology. A setting of loop is a valid setting
in V5.6, however, that setting prompts the console driver not to run.
Refer to the WWIDGR manual at the following location for detailed
information on the – SHOW ADAPTER and – SET ADAPTER commands:
NOTE: In order for the – SHOW ADAPTER and – SET ADAPTER commands to be accepted
by the system, the console must first be set to diagnostic mode (set mode diag).

I
Fabric − Current Topology. This value is either fabric or loop. It
indicates the mode in which the HBA is operating currently, during this
WWIDMGR session. The current mode in which the HBA is running is
not altered during a WWIDMGR session.
I
Fabric − Next Topology. This value can be fabric, loop, or unavail. It
indicates the topology setting that is in the HBA’s NVRAM. An unavail
setting indicates the NVRAM is not formatted, a condition corrected by
a – SET ADAPTER command. A setting of fabric or loop indicates how
the HBA is configured the next time the system is initialized.
I
– SET ADAPTER – A WWIDMGR-SET ADAPTER command is used
to format the HBA NVRAM and to configure an HBA to run on a loop
or a fabric. The command format is:
wwidmgr-set adapter -item<itemno> -topo<fabricIloop>
where itemno is the bracketed value from the – SHOW ADAPTER
command. In Figure 3-3, you can change all HBA’s from fabric to loop
by specifying an itemno value of 9999. The init is shown at the end to
emphasize that the setting in the running HBA is not changed until the
next initialization.

Troubleshooting
Introduction
The Power-On Self Test (POST), valid for Windows NT, Tru64Unix, and
OpenVMS operating systems and the Windows NT System Event Logger
(Viewer) are troubleshooting utilities for the 64-Bit PCI-To-Fibre Channel
Host Bus Adapter (HBA). This chapter explains the use of these utilities in
the event of an HBA problem.
POST Conditions and Results
Table 4-1 lists the HBA LED states with descriptions of each. . The position
of the Post LED indicators is defined in Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1 of this
manual.
If the LEDs indicate a failure during POST:
1. Make sure that the HBA is seated firmly in the PCI slot.
2. Verify that the fibre cable connection to the HBA is secure.

The Windows NT Event Viewer
The Windows NT SCSI driver verifies the condition of the HBA POST. If
there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is issued to the
Windows NT System Event Logger (Viewer).
Following is the procedure for viewing the Windows NT error log.
From the Main menu:
1. Double click or select the Administrative Tools program group.
2. Double click or select the Event Viewer. The display shows a list of
discrete events specifying the source name LP8NDS35 (NT SCSI
driver).
3. Double click any event with the source name LP8NDS35.

Troubleshooting 4-3
4. Change the data view from Bytes (default) to Words.
5. Examine the entry at offset 0x10: if the low byte = En, match the low
byte with the error found in Table 4-2, Windows NT SCSI Port Error
Log. Tables 4-3 and 4-4 list CmdStat values and Parameter error
values.
Windows NT Miniport Event Log Codes
The Windows NT Miniport driver can log events/errors in the Windows NT
event log. Serious errors will always be logged. Informational events will
only be logged if the registry parameter LogError=1 is used.
All Miniport logged events are issued with an Event ID of 11 (INTERNAL
ADAPTER ERROR) but do not necessarily indicate an HBA error occurred.
Byte offset 0x10 of the event is the driver event code. Byte offsets 0x11 to
0x13 contain event specific information.

Windows NT SCSI Address Mapping
The driver emulates six SCSI buses per HBA to map all 126 possible AL_PA
to Target IDs.
The first bus is a dummy bus used to delay the Windows NT initial inquiry
scan until after discovery completes. The 31 target IDs per bus (Windows NT
requires the initiator to consume one of the IDs, we use #31) are then mapped
to either ascending or descending SEL_IDs (based on the ScanDown registry
parameter).
NOTE: The first bus will be utilized if the parameter MapBus0=1 is used.
Fabric Device Mapping
In a fabric (switched) environment, devices are initially created based on the
order that they are returned from the Simple Name Server (SNS). Once
created (at boot), the devices continue to be tracked based on:
– WWPN:
– NodeName:
– D_ID:
HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0
HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1
HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=don’t care)

Troubleshooting 4-9
Private Loop Device Mapping
In a private loop environment (FCAL, no switch), devices are initially created
based on a fixed address ordering. Once created (at boot), the devices
continue to be tracked based on:
– WWPN:
– NodeName:
– D_ID:
HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=0
HardAddress=0;MapNodeName=1
HardAddress=1; (MapNodeName=don’t care)
This section identifies the initial fixed mapping between the Windows NT
bus/target/lun and a fibre channel native address (AL_PA/SEL_ID). There are
two potential mappings based on a registry parameter [ScanDown=0 (driver
default); use *, ScanDown=1;].
The index into Table 4-5 can be derived by:
#define TARGETS_PER_BUS 32
i = (Srb->PathId > 0) ? Srb->PathId-1 : 0; //Bus 0 = dummy bus nodeInx = ((I *
(TARGETS_PER_BUS-1)) + Srb->TargetId;

Firmware and Diagnostic Utility 5-9
5. Run iso9660:[utility]lp8ldr.exe – d dkd400 – p 2
Where – d = CD-ROM Device (at the SRM prompt type “ show dev” to
display the value for your systems CD-ROM)
-p = the PCI bus number where the HBAs are located. If you choose to
download the firmware, all HBAs on the PCI bus specified by the – P
parameter will be programmed with the version of firmware contained
in the LP8ldr.exe file.
For AS8200 systems with HBAs installed on multiple PCI busses, it is
necessary to run the LP8ldr Utility once for each PCI bus that has an
HBA to be upgraded. Therefore if your system has two HBAs the utility
will be run twice. The – P parameter must be set to the new PCI bus
number each time the utility is run.

Modifying Driver Parameters in the
Windows NT Registry
This screen provides information about device driver parameters that are
maintained in the Windows/NT registry and allows those values to be
modified. All available device driver parameters are listed in the data display,
along with the current, minimum, maximum, and default values. Parameters
that have their value specified in the system registry are denoted with either a
G or an L in the left-most column of the screen. The G indicates that the value
is set in the global registry entry, which applies to all HBAs that do not have a
local registry entry. The L indicates that the value is set in a registry entry
specific to the selected HBA, which overrides the value settings in the global
entry.
Modifying the Driver Parameters
From the LPUTILNT Utility/NT Main menu screen:
1. Select the desired HBA.
2. Expand the category list and select Driver Parameters.1.
3. Double click on a Parameter Name.
4. Enter the desired value in the New Value field.
5. Select the Permanent or Global checkbox:
Select Permanent to cause the new value to be written to the system
registry. If Permanent is not selected, the parameter reverts to its
default value when the driver is reset.
Select Global to change the global registry entry. Otherwise, the
change is made to the HBA-specific registry entry.

serial links, enabling continuous throughput in each direction
simultaneously.
Host Adapter Module (HAM)
A HAM is the driver component used to drive specific HBA hardware in the
NetWare Peripheral Architecture (NPA).
Interrupt Request (IRQ) Network boards are supplied with default settings for the IRQ, I/O port and
base memory address. An IRQ is a signal protocol used by hardware
devices, such as printers and modems, to let the computer know that they
need some attention. When an IRQ is invoked, the CPU puts its other work
“on hold” and services the needs of the interrupting device.
Kilometer
Laser
1,000 meters or 3,281 feet. The kilometer is a unit of measurement
commonly used in fiber optics. To convert kilometers to miles, multiply the
number of kilometers by .62 to achieve the number of miles. To convert
miles to kilometers, multiply the number of miles by 1.61 to achieve the
number in kilometers.
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. A device that
produces coherent light with a narrow range of wavelengths.
Latency Delay in transmission; can be caused by arbitration time prior to winning
control of the network.
Light In the laser and optical communication fields, the portion of the
electromagnetic spectrum that can be handled by the basic optical
techniques used for the visible spectrum extending form the near ultraviolet
region of approximately 0.3 micron, through the visible region and into the
mid-infrared region of about 30 microns.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) A device used in a transmitter to convert information from electrical to
optical form. It typically has a large spectral width.

Lightwaves Electromagnetic waves in the region of optical frequencies. The time “ light”
was originally restricted to radiation visible to the human eye, with
wavelengths between 400 and 700 nanometers (nm). However, it has
become customary to refer to radiation in the spectral regions adjacent to
visible light (in the near infrared from 700 to about 2000 nm) as “ light” to
emphasize the physical and technical characteristics.
Link
A fiber optic cable with connectors attached to a transmitter (source) and
receiver (detector).
Longwave Refers to length of the wave or frequency in the spectrum of light. 780 nm
is the operating range of short wave lasers, while 1300 nm describes the
range of long wave lasers.
LUN
Logical Unit Number. A three-bit identifier for a Logical Unit. The
maximum number of LUNs per SCSI target is 8, numbered LUN0 through
LUN7.
Mb/s
Megabits per second or 1,000 bits per second. A reference to processing
speed.
MB/s Megabytes per second or 1,000 bytes per second. A reference to processing
speed.
Media Manager (MM) A database built into NetWare that keeps track of all peripheral storage
devices and media attached to NetWare servers, and allows applications to
gain access and get information. The Media Manager receives application
I/O requests and converts them to messages compatible with the NPA
architecture.
MIA Media Interface Adapter. This device allows a conversion from fiber optic
cable to copper media.
Micron (mm) Another term for micrometer. One millionth of a meter. 10-6 meter.
Mode
A term used to describe a light path through a fiber, as in multi-mode or
single-mode.
Multi-initiators Two different fibre channel HBAs in one arbitrated loop sharing the same
storage devices, but not communicating with each other.
Multi-Mode Fiber
An optical waveguide in which light travels in multiple modes. Typical
core/cladding sized (measured in microns) are 50/125, 62.5/125, and
100/140.
Multiplexing The process by which two or more signals are transmitted over a single
communications channel.

nm
Nanometer. A unit of measurement equal to one billionth of a meter. 10exp-
9 meter.
Non-OFC Non-Open Fiber Control. GLMs that do not contain OFC control but still
guarantee laser emission levels to be below Class 1.
OFC Open Fiber Control. A power monitoring/control system which
continuously monitors the optical fiber link between two ports and prevents
any laser emission from exceeding Class 1 levels in the event of a break
anywhere in the path.
Optical Waveguide
Dielectric waveguide with a core consisting of optically transparent material
or low attenuation (usually silica glass) and with cladding consisting of
optically transparent material of lower refractive index than that of the core.
It is used for the transmission of signals with lightwaves and is frequently
