IBM TotalStorage FAStT FC2-133, Инструкция по установке и эксплуатации

Страница: 32 / 64

Loop reset delay: When you reset the Fibre Channel loop, the firmware does not
initiate any loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this setting. The
default is 5 seconds.
Adapter hard loop ID: This setting forces the adapter to use the ID specified in the
Hard loop ID setting. The default is Enabled.
Hard loop ID: When the adapter hard loop ID is set to Enabled, the adapter uses
the ID specified in this setting. The default ID is 125. If there are multiple host bus
adapters in the Fibre Channel loop, each adapter must be assigned a unique
address.
Spin up delay: When this setting is Enabled, the BIOS code waits up to five
minutes to find the first drive. The default is Disabled.
Note: The FAStT FC2-133 Adapter settings and default values will vary, based on
the version of BIOS code installed for the adapter.
There are specific host-adapter settings that you cannot modify. Table 3 describes
these host-adapter settings and gives examples.
Note: See the device driver installation instructions for the required
operating-system specific modifications to the NVRAM.

Setting example
BIOS address CD400
Revision 1.25
Adapter serial number E59719
Interrupt level 3
Adapter port name 210000E08B07C703
BIOS address: The BIOS address is the I/O address where the BIOS code is
stored when you press Ctrl+Q or have the BIOS code enabled for starting from the
root directory. This is the address of the BIOS code in ROM shadow memory.
Multiple adapters can be installed in the server but only one BIOS instance will be
loaded for all of the adapters. The BIOS code is loaded from the first adapter the
server recognizes and is used for all remaining FAStT FC2-133 Adapters that are
installed in the same server. The level of BIOS code loaded does not affect other
adapters with earlier BIOS code levels.
Revision: The BIOS revision is the revision number of the loaded BIOS code,
which is from the first FAStT FC2-133 Adapter that the server recognizes. Each
FAStT FC2-133 Adapter in the server will have the same BIOS code revision
number because only one BIOS code instance is loaded.
Adapter serial number: The adapter serial number is located on the
noncomponent side of the adapter. See Figure 1 on page 3 for the location of the
serial number label.
Interrupt level: The interrupt level is the interrupt that is used by the FAStT
FC2-133 Adapter. The interrupt level can change when the operating system is
installed.
