Troubleshooting

Termination 

— Problems with termination can cause intermittent 

or hard failures. A SCSI bus must be terminated on both ends. 

Termination problems are common when both narrow and wide 

devices are on the same bus.

Bus Type 

— On an LVD SCSI bus, SE and LVD devices can be 

connected to the same bus. However, if one SE device is detected 

during power up, communication to all devices will convert to SE 

mode.

Device ID 

— Each device on a SCSI bus must have a unique ID. 

Verify configured IDs are not in use by other devices on the same 

SCSI bus.

Cabling 

— Check SCSI cables to verify they are functional. SCSI 

rules for total length, distance between devices, and stub length 

must be followed. Connections should also be checked and 

reseated if necessary.

SCSI Devices 

— Verify that the SCSI devices on a particular SCSI 

bus can be seen in the Configuration Menu of the Interface 

Controller. If the Interface Controller cannot see the devices, verify 

SCSI configuration, cabling, and termination.

Verifying Fibre Channel Port Connection

0

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 

properly established. Most hubs and switches have link indicators 

showing link status. When the Interface Controller is connected and 

powered on, this link indicator should be solid. If it is not, check the 

cabling or connections.
One method of verifying link integrity when connected to a functional 

host, involves disconnecting and then reconnecting the Fibre Channel 

cable. This procedure should cause momentary activity of this 

indicator as the link reinitializes.
Additionally, verify that the cable type of the Interface Controller and 

the attached hub, HBA, or switch is of corresponding types. When 

using optical media, verify that the attached device is using non-OFC 

type optical devices.

Note:

By default, the Fibre Channel port speed is set to 2 Gb/s. 

Changes to the Fibre Channel port speed must be manually 

set, such as for 1 Gb/s. If set incorrectly and the Interface 

Controller is plugged into a Loop or Fabric, the unit may 

receive framing errors, which can be found in the trace logs, 

and the fiber link light will be off because of the incorrect 

Fibre Channel link speed.
