Configuring FC420 Firmware
0
Each FC420 bridge installed must be configured using the FC420 Bridge
Services software. To configure the FC420 bridge successfully, it is important
to:
• Know exactly how the SCSI cabling in the library is configured,
including:
• How many FC420 bridges are present in the library
• How many SCSI buses are present in the library
• How many SCSI devices are connected to each bus (this was
established in the previous section of this document)
• Use the FC420 Bridge Services software to create a Map file identifying
which SCSI devices are connected to which Fibre Channel ports on the
FC420 board
The major steps for manually configuring FC420 bridge firmware are:
•
Setting up an Ethernet Connection
•
Verifying Current FC420 Firmware
•
Scanning the SCSI Busses on the Library
•
Creating a Map File for the FC420
Setting up an Ethernet

To set up an Ethernet connection between the FC420 bridge and a service PC
or other stand-alone computer equipped with Windows or Windows NT:
1
Connect a Field Service Notebook to the FC420.
a
Turn on the Field Service Notebook.
b
Disconnect the Ethernet cable to the FC420 bridge.
Note:
If you have an MC300 PMC, refer to the
MC300 Prism Management
Card User’s Guide
, PN 6473040, to configure your FC420 bridge (or
bridges), instead of the following steps.
Note:
These major steps must be repeated for each FC420 bridge in the
library.
Note:
The FC420 bridge has DHCP enabled, which searches for a server
to get an address. The DHCP server for this application is the
MC300 PMC, which is the default. If you have an MC300 PMC, do
not perform this procedure, refer to the
MC300 Prism Management
Card User’s Guide
, PN 6311631, for FC420 bridge administration.
