Configuration, Devices, HBA Device Driver Information

Page 187 highlights

Configuration A number of configuration changes may result in an invalid configuration. If you are in doubt about the configuration, restore the bridge to the factory default configuration, and configure the bridge one step at a time to verify the functionality of the configuration as changes are made. Devices It may be useful to connect the SCSI target devices you are attempting to use to the native SCSI interface to verify that the devices are functional. SCSI target devices can be connected to a host SCSI bus to verify they are functional. Host Configuration In some cases, it may be that the FC host bus adapter or host device driver may not be working properly. Check the configuration of these elements. It may be useful to check the release notes for the driver provided to see if there are any specific issues or required configurations. It may also be useful to ensure that you are using a current version of the HBA driver. Check the Windows NT System Log using the Event Viewer to verify that the HBA driver is functioning properly. HBA Device Driver Information Check the HBA device driver Readme.txt file for configuration specifics. An HBA may require a different configuration, depending on whether it is connected to a loop or a switch. HBAs typically come with utility programs that can be used to view or change their configuration. Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Basic Verification 189

Configuration
A number of configuration changes may result in an invalid configuration. If
you are in doubt about the configuration, restore the bridge to the factory
default configuration, and configure the bridge one step at a time to verify the
functionality of the configuration as changes are made.
Devices
It may be useful to connect the SCSI target devices you are attempting to use to
the native SCSI interface to verify that the devices are functional. SCSI target
devices can be connected to a host SCSI bus to verify they are functional.
Host Configuration
In some cases, it may be that the FC host bus adapter or host device driver
may not be working properly. Check the configuration of these elements. It
may be useful to check the release notes for the driver provided to see if there
are any specific issues or required configurations. It may also be useful to
ensure that you are using a current version of the HBA driver.
Check the Windows NT System Log using the Event Viewer to verify that the
HBA driver is functioning properly.
HBA Device Driver Information
Check the HBA device driver Readme.txt file for configuration specifics. An
HBA may require a different configuration, depending on whether it is
connected to a loop or a switch. HBAs typically come with utility programs that
can be used to view or change their configuration.
