Fibre Channel Features
Fibre Channel Features C
This appendix describes Fibre Channel (FC) functionality with your ICP RAID controller.
Fibre Channel functionality does not alter the normal interaction with your RAID
controller. In fact, there are no user-definable parameters specific to Fibre Channel. There
are however some differences in how information about your Fibre Channel is presented.
This section covers these differences.
C.1 Boot BIOS Message
During system POST, the ICP RAID Controller BIOS check informs the user of the state
of the Fibre Channel loops. In
Figure C-1 , the screen shows that Loop A has been initiated
and Loop B has not been initiated.
Note:
Color was added to screen only to highlight.
This would be expected for a single loop configuration. In a dual loop configuration, this
would indicate that action is required to resolve the problem with the failed loop.
