The speed and connectivity settings of the SNC 6101 default to auto detect and in most situations no additional configuration should be necessary. However, if the install environment requires custom settings, you must confirm the following: Speed: 1 GBps or 2 GBps (should match your LAN speed) Connection Options: Point-to-Point for switch attachment, Loop for arbitrated loop attachment, and Loop Preferred if the connection type is unknown (this mode will try a loop attachment first, followed by a point-to-point attachment) For more information about configuring advanced FC and SCSI parameters such as Loop ID and port mode, refer to the ADIC Management Console User's Guide. Setting Mode to Initiator will prevent hosts from seeing library drives and media changer. Initiator mode makes the SNC appear as a host instead of a storage device. CAUTION 3 4 5 Configure all SNMP traps with the AMC to generate proactive alerts for the Scalar 100. For more information, refer to the ADIC Management Console User's Guide. Save your current configuration in case you need to restore it in the future. For more information, refer to the ADIC Management Console User's Guide. Configure e-mail alerts with the AMC to generate e-mail messages when the Scalar 100 encounters a problem. For more information, refer to the ADIC Management Console User's Guide. 28 Installation Scalar Firewall Manager Scalar Firewall Manager (SFM) is a software feature that collects all host and target information and manages the end-to-end access control in the SAN. It allows the system administrator to control access privileges between individual Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and target devices connected to the SNC 6101 SCSI and Fibre Channels. The system administrator uses the ADIC Management Console to administrate the SFM. · SFM technology enables Storage Area Networks with multiple users to share the same connectivity channels or pipes to access the same or different storage elements or resources. Therefore, multiple virtual private connections can be created on the same Storage Networking infrastructure. SFM is completely host independent and requires no software components on the host. An optional automatic Host Registration Service that provides periodic host status information is included. It has no interface dependencies and supports Fibre Channel, SCSI, or any other SAN interface. It is also independent of the storage elements and requires no change in legacy or in new storage devices. SFM keeps track of Fibre Channel HBAs by their unique World Wide Name (WWN). Because Fibre Channel switches also have a WWN, SFM can see and can control access to FC switches connected to the SNC 6101. SFM manages access for hosts connected through FC switches to the SNC 6101. [. . . ] Complete procedures for setting these values are provided in To configure the SNC 6101 on page 22. Updating the SNC 6101 1 2 3 4 5 From the service terminal, enter the normalBoot command. If an update is required, download the new file or files and the associated readme file. You will install the new firmware as you complete the Post-Repair Checklist on page 43. 6 If you replaced the SNC 6101, enter the ridTag command and type the identifier. Note Use the sysVpdShow command to obtain the required identifier from the original SNC 6101. [. . . ]
