Scan Fibre Channel devices
Use this option to scan the Fibre Channel loop and list all the connected devices by
loop ID. Information about each device is listed, for example, vendor name, product
name, and revision. This information is useful when you are configuring your FAStT
FC2-133 Adapter and attached devices.
Fibre Channel disk utility
Attention: Performing a low-level format removes all data on the disk.
Use this option to scan the Fibre Channel loop bus and list all the connected
devices by loop ID. You can select a disk device and perform a low-level format or
verify the disk media or data.
Loopback data test
Use this option to verify the adapter basic transmit and receive functions. A Fibre
Channel loop back connector option must be installed into the optical interface
connector on the FAStT FC2-133 Adapter before starting the test. See Figure 2 on
page 4 for the location of the optical interface connector.
