HP recommends using the fibreutilsRPM that is included with the driver kit. It contains useful  
utilities for managing fibre-connected storage. To install this RPM manually, enter the following  
command:  
# rpm -ivh fibreutils-version.rpm  
For more information about fibreutils, see the file /opt/hp/hp_fibreutils/README.  
Changing driver parameters  
To change driver parameters:  
1. Run the set_parm script, located in the /opt/hp/srcdirectory.  
2. Reboot the server; otherwise, you may not be able to unload the qla2300 driver if there is a  
process or file system using a device connected to the HBA.  
Loading and unloading the qla2300 driver manually  
By loading the qla2300 driver manually, you can access the devices and unload the driver without  
rebooting the system.  
To load the qla2300 driver, enter the following command:  
# modprobe qla2300  
NOTE: HP recommends using the modprobecommand to load the driver so that any driver  
parameter value specified in the /etc/modules.conf file takes effect.  
Alternatively, you can load the driver by entering the following command from the directory that  
contains the qla2300.o file:  
1. Enter the insmodcommand. For example:  
# insmod qla2300.o

Using the Event Viewer, page 23  
Linux driver events, page 23  
FC1142SR and FC1242SR DC 4Gb PCI Express host bus adapters for Linux and Windows installation guide 21  
 
 
Troubleshooting checklists  
Three basic types of installation problems can cause HBAs to malfunction: hardware problems,  
system configuration problems, and Fibre Channel problems. This section provides checklists to help  
you determine why the HBA is not functioning properly.  
Hardware checklist  
Check the following:  
Are circuit cards installed securely in the system?  
Are cables connected securely to the correct connectors? For example, the optical transmit  
connector on the HBA must be connected to the optical receive connector on the device. An  
easy way to check for correct seating is to switch the connectors on the HBA or the device, then  
reboot your system. If the BIOS is enabled, devices connected to the HBA are displayed on the  
screen.  
Is the HBA installed correctly and seated firmly in the PCIe slot?  
Is there interference due to nonstandard PCIe connectors?  
Is the Fast!UTIL data rate setting correct? See ”Adapter Settings” on page 26 for information  
about setting the data rate.  
System configuration checklist  
Check the following:  
Is the motherboard properly connected?  
Did you check the motherboard for proper configuration? All PCI-compliant and PCI-X-compliant  
systems automatically detect 32-bit or 64-bit adapters and set the appropriate bus speed (for  
example, 33 MHz or 133 MHz).  
See the documentation for your computer or contact your computer dealer to determine if the  
motherboard requires special configuration.  
Fibre Channel checklist  
Check the following:  
Did you power up the Fibre Channel devices before powering up the server?  
Are cables connected properly?  
Did you configure the RAID controller using the utilities provided by the manufacturer?  
If the Fibre Channel switch supports zoning, is the switch configured correctly?  
22 Troubleshooting  
 
             
Using the Event Viewer  
The SCSIPORT and Storport miniport drivers verify the HBA’s power-on self-test (POST) LED states. If  
there is a failure or a suspected failure, an error log entry is written to the Windows event log.  
To view the event log:  
1. Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer, or right-click My  
Computer and select Manage.  
2. Click Event Viewer in the Computer Management dialog box.  
The Event Viewer window appears.  
3. Review the miniport driver event codes. See the following web site for information about  
Linux driver events  
If the Linux driver detects any fabric or driver events, the information is written to in the  
/var/log/messagesfile. Check this file periodically to review fabric or Linux driver events.

26 Configuring the HBAs  
 
             
A description of each setting follows:  
Host Adapter BIOS—When this setting is disabled, the ROM BIOS on the HBA is disabled,  
freeing space in upper memory. This setting must be enabled if you are booting from an Fibre  
Channel hard disk connected to the HBA. The default is Disabled.  
Frame Size—Specifies the maximum frame length supported by the HBA. The default 2048  
provides maximum performance for F_Port (point-to-point) connections.  
Loop Reset Delay—After resetting the loop, the firmware refrains from initiating any loop  
activity for the number of seconds specified by this setting. The default is 5 seconds.  
Adapter Hard Loop ID—Forces the HBA to attempt to use the ID specified in the Hard Loop  
ID setting. The default is Disabled.  
Hard Loop ID—When this setting has a Loop ID other than 0, the HBA uses the ID specified  
by this setting. The default is 0.  
Spin Up Delay—When this setting is enabled, the BIOS waits up to two minutes to find the  
first drive. The default is Disabled.  
Connection Options—Defines the connection type. The default is 2. The options are:  
• 0–Loop  
• 1–Point-to-point  
• 2–Loop preferred, then point-to-point  
Fibre Channel Tape Support—When this setting is enabled, FCP-2 recovery can occur. The  
default is Enabled.  
Data Rate—This setting determines the data rate. The default is 2. The options are:  
• 0–Runs at 1 Gb/s  
• 1–Runs at 2 Gb/s  
• 2–Auto negotiates and determines the data rate  
• 3–Runs at 4 Gb/s  
Selectable Boot Settings  
This option lets you select the node from which you want to the system to boot. When enabled, this  
option forces the system to boot from the selected Fibre Channel hard disk, ignoring any IDE hard  
disks connected to the system. When disabled, the system looks for a boot device (specified in the  
system BIOS). When disabled, the Boot ID and Boot LUN parameters have no effect.  
NOTE: This option applies only to hard disks; it does not apply to tape drives and other nondisk  
devices.

A descriptions of each setting follows:  
Execution Throttle—The maximum number of commands executing on one port. When a  
port’s execution throttle value is reached, no new commands are executed until the current  
command finishes executing. Values for this setting are 1–256. The default is 16.  
Luns per Target—The number of LUNs per target. Multiple LUN support is typically for RAID  
arrays that use LUNs to map drives. The default is 128. If you do not need multiple LUN support,  
set the number of LUNs to 0.  
Enable LIP Reset—The type of loop initialization process (LIP) reset used when the operating  
system initiates a bus reset routine. When this setting is Yes, the driver initiates a global LIP reset  
to clear the target device reservations. When this setting is No, the driver initiates a global LIP  
reset with full login. The default is No.  
Enable LIP Full Login—Instructs the ISP chip to log in to all ports after LIP. The default is Yes.  
Enable Target Reset—Enables drivers to issue a Target Resetcommand to all devices on  
the loop when a SCSI Bus Resetcommand is issued. The default is No.  
Login Retry Count—The number of times the software tries to log in to a device. The default  
is 8.  
Port Down Retry Count—The number of times the software issues a command to a port  
returning port down status. The default is 16 retries.  
Link Down Timeout—The number of seconds the software waits for a link to come up or go  
down. Values for this setting are 0–255 seconds. The default is 8.  
Operation Mode—Specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO) mode, if supported by the  
driver. The RIO mode allows multiple command completions in a single interrupt. The modes  
are:  
• 0–Interrupt for every I/O completion (default)  
• 5–Interrupt when Interrupt Delay timer expires  
• 6–Interrupt when Interrupt Delay timer expires or there is no active I/O  
Interrupt Delay Timer—The wait time in 200-microsecond increments used by the timer to  
set the wait time between interrupts. Values for this setting are 0–255 seconds. The default is 0.

Safety  
Electrostatic discharge  
To prevent damage to the system, be aware of the precautions you need to follow when setting up  
the system or handling parts. A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may  
damage system boards or other static-sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life  
expectancy of the device.  
Preventing electrostatic damage  
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following precautions:  
Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.  
Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-free workstations.  
Place parts on a grounded surface before removing them from their containers.  
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.  
Always be properly grounded when touching a static-sensitive component or assembly (see  
Grounding methods” on page 34).  
Grounding methods  
There are several methods for grounding. Use one or more of the following methods when handling  
or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:  
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded workstation or computer chassis.  
Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm (±10 percent) resistance in the  
ground cords. To provide proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.  
Use heel straps, toe straps, or boot straps at standing workstations. Wear the straps on both feet  
when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.  
Use conductive field service tools.  
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating work mat.  
If you do not have any of the suggested equipment for proper grounding, have an HP authorized  
reseller install the part.  
NOTE: For more information on static electricity, or assistance with product installation, contact  
your HP authorized reseller.
