(*1) There may exist an event log of ErrNo:0x17 when the driver is installed
or the server is rebooted in case of the cascade composition.
Please set a value that is larger than the displayed value to "LOGIN DELAY
TIME" according to "Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter USER'S
GUIDE(Utility Software Edition)" when this event is generated.
The set value has the possibility that the event log of ErrNo:0x17 is
generated
even if it depends on the composition, and this setting is done. Please set a
bigger value to the value of "LOGIN DELAY TIME" in that case.
(*2) Mailbox procedure: Procedure that the driver of Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel
Adapter directs the firmware the execution of processing other than the
SCSI start. This start is a synchronous command, and one end response
becomes a pair for one start. The command executed by this start is as
follows.
a) Link establishment instruction in FC interface.
b) Frame transmission instruction of login etc.
c) Trouble information (log) collection instruction
(*3) There is a possibility that the event log of ErrNo:0x0E is generated when
the server reboots, when the port of the adapter on the server is not
registered in the LUN security and the LUN security of the port of the
connected disk device is made effective. In that case, please confirm the
following.
a) Each port of the disk device that should be connected with the port of
the adapter that outputted the event log must be done in the zoning in
the same zone in FC-Switch.
b) Do not let the port of the disk device that should not be connected
with the port of the adapter that outputted the event log be done in the
zoning in the same zone in FC-Switch.
c) The port of the adapter that outputted the event log must be
registered in the LUN security of the port of all the disk devices
connected in the same zone in FC-Switch with the port.
(*4) When the adapter port is not separated from the rest of the ports, such as
using Access Gateway mode in FC-Switch, the adapter port interferes with
each other unlike the adapter ports are in usual Zoning. Because of this
reason, Linkdown of the other adapter port or the server reboot may make the
driver log unnecessary errors. When you need to stop an unnecessary logs,
There is a driver parameter which stops unnecessary errors. For detail, see
'Hitachi Gigabit Fibre Channel Adapter User's Guide' (Utility Software Edition)'.
