[. . . ] Operating system independence Interconnect flexibility Fibre Channel fabric switches provide full direct connectivity between all ports on a network, which can increase the total throughput of all devices on a network. · · · FC310 Router Operation 0 Once the FC310 Router SCSI to Fibre Channel option is installed and tested, the library operates exactly as a ATL M1500 library with a SCSI host interface. User operation of the library via the graphical user interface (GUI) panel is unchanged. Introduction 3 Quantum ATL M1500 User's Guide Addendum - FC310 Router Option Document 6421018-02, Ver. 0 September 2002 Key to Successful Configuration of the FC310 Option 0 The FC310 Fibre Channel Option must be configured using the homebred FC310 Prism Router Services software. The key to successfully configuring the FC310 Option is to: · Know exactly how the SCSI cabling in the library is configured including how many: a b SCSI buses are present in the library SCSI devices are connected to each bus · Use the FC310 Prism Router Services software to create a Map file identifying which SCSI devices are electrically connected to which Fibre Channel ports on the FC310 board Configuration 0 This document describes the ATL M1500 configuration procedure with two tape drives (maximum). [. . . ] It is used by the FC310 to identify the SCSI devices in the library electronically connected to the Fibre Channel port on the board. To create the FC310 Prism Map, perform the following steps: 1 At the screen prompt, type automap 0 and press <Enter>. The automap command executes. 2 When the ready prompt appears, type saveconfiguration and press <Enter>. 3 When the ready prompt appears, type firmwarerestart and press <Enter>. 10 FC310 Router Option Configuration Quantum ATL M1500 User's Guide Addendum - FC310 Router Option Document 6421018-02, Ver. 0 September 2002 Figure 5 Automap Screen Commonly Used FC310 Services Software Commands 0 for the ATL M1500 Library The FC310 Services Software resides on each FC310 Router board. This software configures the router for use in the Quantum ATL M1500 library through a Command Line Interface (CLI) that is compatible with any PC and a terminal emulation program (such as HyperTerminal or ProComm). For more information on additional commands, syntax, and usage, see FC310 Services Software Commands on page 13.

Default Syntax routedisplay routedisplay [fp] routedisplay [online | offline] routedisplay [fp [fl] ] routedisplay [fp [online | offline] ] SerialPortBaudRate Set the baud rate for the FC310 serial port (2400, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200). Transfer a firmware image or NVRAM parameter file to or from the router using ZMODEM file transfer protocol. Displays version numbers and other product information for key components within the FC310. When the optional command name is present, detailed command-specific information is displayed. If a firmware restart is required to make the change, the user is prompted to confirm the restart. Several non-immediate commands require a SaveConfiguration before their modified parameters take effect. When such a command is executed an asterisk appears next to the command line prompt.

Default loop Syntax set fcconnmode [loop | ptp] get fcconnmode FcFairArb enabled set fcfairarb [enabled | disabled] get fcfairarb FcFrameLength 2048 bytes set fcframelength [512 | 1024 | 2048] get fcframelength 14 FC310 Services Software Commands Quantum ATL M1500 User's Guide Addendum - FC310 Router Option Document 6421018-02, Ver. 0 September 2002 Command FcHard Description Enable or disable Fibre Channel hard address assignment. Under soft addressing the FC310 loop address is assigned during loop initialization. Set the value used as the FC-AL hard address. Default hard Syntax set fchard [enabled | disabled] get fchard FcHardAddress port 0 = 3 set fchardaddress [fp [address]] get fchardaddress [fp] FcSCSIBusyStatus Specify the SCSI status value returned when the FC310 is unable to accept a SCSI command due to a temporary lack of internal resources. Specify the soft target LUN used by the FC310 when addressed by the host. Valid route change entries are: fp (0-2) fl (0-31) sb (0-3) st (0-15) sl (0-7).

[. . . ] 0 September 2002 Command SaveConfiguration (Immediate) Description Save the new configuration. If a firmware restart is required to make the change, the user is prompted to confirm the restart. The user can override the confirmation request by indicating the override value on the command line. Default Syntax saveconfiguration < restart | norestart > Reserve (Immediate) reserve Reservation of the FC310 is implicit; once the configuration image is changed by any user of services (Serial/Ethernet/ Etc. , ) the FC310 becomes RESERVED. Performing a SaveConfiguration, RestoreConfiguration or FcRestart RELEASES the FC310 so that other devices may access it. [. . . ]
