Page 11: How The Hp E1200-320 4Gb Fc Interface Card Works
How the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card works The interface card is a device that translates the Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) to and from the SCSI Protocol—transparently transferring commands, data, and status information—so that both the Fibre Channel (FC) and SCSI devices and hosts can communicate with each other. Interconnection is provided between two SCSI buses and one Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop or Switched Fabric, making use of Fibre Channel’s ability to encapsulate SCSI protocol packets. -

• 0 to 92% relative humidity (non-condensing) HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card benefits The interface card is designed to connect SCSI devices into a Fibre Channel (FC) fabric or loop. The interface card comes with one 4 Gb/s Fibre Channel port and two LVD/SE SCSI buses. -
Page 13: Installation, Cabling, And Setup
Installation, cabling, and setup This chapter describes installing, cabling, and setup for the HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card. NOTE: Read this chapter carefully and completely before working with the interface card. Installing the HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card Before you begin, clear a work surface near the library to unpack the interface card. Keep the card in the static-sensitive bag until you are ready to install it. -
Page 14: Removal And Installation
Removal and installation NOTE: To avoid damage to the library, ensure cards are installed in the correct option slots. If you are installing one card, place it in the middle slot next to the controller board. If you are installing two cards in a 10U library, place the second card in the center slot on the bottom level of the library. -

Page 20: Interfaces And Connections
Interfaces and connections There are four types of interfaces to the interface card: • Fibre Channel • SCSI • 3-pin serial port • Ethernet The 3-pin serial and Ethernet ports are used for configuration and management of the interface card. For convenience in configuring ports, key information is indicated on a label located on the face of the interface card such as WWN name, WWP name, and Ethernet MAC ID (Physical Address). -
Page 21: Ethernet Connection
To connect the interface card to a SCSI bus: Power off the SCSI devices on this bus. Connect a SCSI cable to one of the SCSI connectors on the unit. The interface card should always be installed at the end of the SCSI bus. Make sure that the bus is terminated correctly. -
Page 22: Setting Up Serial Port Communications
Setting up serial port communications Before supplying power to the interface card, HP recommends setting up serial port communications with your host computer, unless serial I/O was previously established and is currently running. The interface card is designed to communicate with a terminal or any operating system utilizing a terminal emulator. -
Page 23: Device Management
Device management To provide connectivity between hosts and devices, it is necessary for the interface card to be recognized with an address on the connected Fibre Channel network. SCSI bus configuration The interface card provides the capability to reset SCSI buses during the interface card boot cycle. This allows the devices on a SCSI bus to be set to a known state. -
Page 24: Discovery
Discovery Discovery is a feature that makes it easy to display attached FC and SCSI target devices and have them mapped automatically on the host side for the connected bus/port. There are two discovery methods available—Manual Discovery and Auto Discovery. Auto Discovery can be set to occur after either reboot events (when the card reboots) or link-up events (for instance, when cables are attached or a hub is rebooted). - Page 25 The Auto Assigned map is built dynamically, and contains all the devices found during discovery. This map changes automatically any time the discovery process finds a change in the devices attached to the interface card. This map can be displayed, but cannot be modified directly by the user. The SCC map is only available on the FC port and contains a single entry.

Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. • Replace batteries only with the designated HP spares. Batteries, battery packs, and accumulators should not be disposed of together with general household waste. To forward them to recycling or proper disposal, use the public collection system or return them to HP, an authorized HP Partner, or their agents. -

Page 109: C Inband Scsi-3 Commands
Inband SCSI-3 commands The HP e1200-320 4Gb Interface Card supports a set of SCSI-3 commands that can be received inband over iSCSI/NDMP. When received by the interface card, these commands are then executed by the interface card itself. When using SCSI-3 commands to access general management features, the commands can be sent to device LUNs that are mapped through the interface card. -
Page 110: Inquiry Command
The interface card returns the LUN Parameters as defined in Table Table 13 Report LUNs Parameter List Byte (MSB) LUN list length (LSB) Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved LUN list First LUN Last LUN NOTE: The LUN list length is the number of LUNs times 8. All LUNs are reported and will appear in the host’s map. -

Page 113: D Addressing, Structures, And Operations
Addressing, structures, and operations Fibre Channel and SCSI systems employ different methods of addressing devices. The inclusion of a interface card requires that a method of translating device IDs be implemented so that each SCSI device is mapped to the appropriate Fibre Channel LUN. The SCSI buses establish bus connections between devices. -
Page 114: Auto Assigned Addressing Option
The interface card supports the Peripheral Device Addressing Method and the Logical Unit Addressing Method, depending on the configuration. Table 21 Arbitrated Loop Node number to AL_PA lookup table 0:0x01 21:0x2E 42:0x52 63:0x74 84:0xA6 105:0xC9 1:0x02 22:0x31 43:0x53 64:0x75 85:0xA7 106:0xCA 2:0x04 23:0x32... -
Page 115: Indexed Addressing Option
Indexed addressing option Indexed Addressing allows for host bus adapter (HBA) drivers that only use Peripheral Device addressing to access SCSI devices attached to the interface card. This is done by use of a table, which is indexed by sequential LUN values, indicating selected BUS:TARGET:LUN devices. It is not possible in this mode to address the interface card as an interface card unit directly. - Page 116 attached devices. The host can then perform actions on these interface card attached devices directly without having to perform discovery by issuing commands through all possible combinations. 116 Addressing, structures, and operations...

Page 117: E Enabling Dhcp On The Hp E1200-320 4Gb Fc Interface Card
Enabling DHCP on the HP e1200-320 4Gb FC Interface Card DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, is an open industry standard that simplifies administering networks based on Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). DHCP allows network resources to go farther by enabling a unique IP address to be assigned to a specific device (interface card, client host, etc.) on a non-permanent, dynamic basis. -

FC adapter A printed circuit assembly that translates data between the FC host processor’s internal bus and the FC link. This is also known as an HBA, or Host Bus Adapter. FC device A device that uses Fibre Channel communications.

It allows for generic Fibre Channel host bus adapters to access SCSI devices attached to the interface card using a table which is indexed by sequential LUN values. initiator A device (usually a host system) that requests an operation to be performed by another device known as a target (usually a peripheral).
- Page 126 offline Taking the interface card offline indicates that all SCSI and FC adapters in the interface card are offline. Taking a SCSI adapter offline means ending inputs/outputs and suspending all transactions going from the interface card to the specified SCSI devices. The SCSI adapter is no longer active or available for access.
- Page 127 SCSI addressing A SCSI adapter supports up to 16 devices, including itself. Each device has its own unique SCSI address. The SCSI address of a device dictates the device’s priority when arbitrating for the SCSI bus. SCSI address “7” has the highest priority. The next highest priority address is “6”...
