Troubleshooting Fibre Channel Device Problems

To troubleshoot problems with a Fibre Channel device:

1.

Check cable connections to devices.

If connecting through a third party device such as a hub or a switch,
check functionality on that device. Check link status and activity
lights.

3.

Make sure the Fibre Channel host adapter card is firmly seated in the
card slot in your server computer.

4.

Make sure the latest driver has been loaded from the Host Adapter
manufacturer’s site.

5.

Follow guidelines in the Spectra Logic Server Setup Guide located on
the Spectra Logic Web site at: www.spectralogic.com.

Check if all devices attached to the loop are in our interoperability
matrix.

7.

Make sure all cable connectors are firmly seated (and screwed in if
possible).
