SCSI Devices – Verify SCSI devices can be seen in the
configuration menu of the FCR200. Select “Perform
Configuration” from the first menu. Then select “Fibre
Channel to SCSI Mapping Configuration.” You must then
enter a “1” for LUN priority, “2” for Bus priority, or a “3”
for Target, in order to view the list of SCSI devices. If the
FCR200 can not see the devices, verify SCSI configuration
and cabling.

Verify Fibre Channel Connection

If SCSI devices are recognized on the SCSI buses, but do not
appear to the Fibre Channel host, it may be that the Fibre
Channel link is not established. Most hubs and switches have
link indicators, showing link status. When the FCR200 is
connected and powered on, this link indicator should show a
good link. If it does not, check the cabling or connections. As
a means of verifying link integrity when connected to a
functional host, disconnecting then reconnecting the Fibre
Channel cable should cause momentary activity of this
indicator as the link re-initializes. Also verify that the media
type of the FCR200 and attached hub, HBA, or switch are of
corresponding types. When using optical media, verify that
the attached device is using non-OFC type optical devices.

Verify SCSI Devices in NT

If running FC-to-SCSI mapping mode, open the NT Control
Panel, select “SCSI Adapters,” and double click on the FC
HBA. The SCSI devices should be listed.

If no devices are listed, verify the FCR200 configuration, FC
HBA configuration, and cabling.

If devices are listed, verify FC HBA mapping mode or ALPA
addresses on the FCR200.

If running SCSI-to-FC mapping mode, open the NT Control
Panel, select “SCSI adapters,” and double click on the SCSI
controller.

If no devices are listed, verify the FCR200 configuration, SCSI
Controller configuration, and cabling.

Sometimes NT may need to be rebooted with all SCSI devices
and the FCR200 left on before it will recognize the devices.
