Introduction 3

Introduction 0

The Quantum ATL P4000/P7000 Series automated tape libraries are

controlled by a host computer via a SCSI differential bus using the

SCSI-2 medium changer command set. There is also an RS-232

diagnostic port interface.

The P4000/P7000 Prism Architecture™ allows for easy conversion

from the SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface. This

document describes upgrading a standard P4000/P7000 equipped

with a SCSI host interface to a Fibre Channel host interface using a

Prism FC470 Upgrade kit.

Fibre Channel

Description 0

Fibre Channel is a serial data transfer architecture for use with

computers and mass storage devices that is rapidly emerging to

challenge SCSI as the interface of choice for host-to-storage

applications.

Fibre Channel advantages include:

• Connection distances with the Quantum ATL FC470 option up to

500 meters

• 2 GB/Sec data transfer rates

• Supports up to 126 devices in a loop mode

• Supports 24-bit addressing for over 16 million devices in point-to-

point mode or fabric, when using a Fibre Channel switch or

multiple Fibre Channel switches.

• Operating system independence

• Interconnect flexibility

Prism FC470 Router

Operation 0

Once a Prism FC470 Router option is installed and tested, the library

operates exactly as a P4000/P7000 with a SCSI host interface.

Operation of the library via the graphical user interface (GUI) is

unchanged.

FC470 Overview 0

The FC470 provides a bridge between a Fibre Channel host and the

SCSI tape drives within a library. Figure 1 shows the FC470 Fibre

Channel bridge and feature locations.

6 FC470 Overview

Figure 1 FC470 Overview

SCSI Ports 0

The FC470 contains four SCSI ports or buses (port 0, port 1, port 2, and

port 3). When the SCSI port (bus) is connected to a tape drive, the

corresponding LED is lit indicating activity on the SCSI bus.

Fibre Channel Ports 0

The FC470 contains two Fibre Channel ports (port 0 and port 1). Each

port has two corresponding LEDs. The top LED indicates activity on

the Fibre Channel port and the bottom LED indicates a valid Fibre

Channel link on the port.

Ethernet Port 0

The FC470 contains one Ethernet port which is used for remote

configuration and bridge management. The port has two

corresponding LEDs. The top LED indicates activity on the port and

the bottom LED indicates a valid Ethernet link.

Serial Port 0

The FC470 contains one serial port which is used to access the serial

interface and locally manage or configure the bridge.

Power Indicator 0

The FC470 contains one power LED which indicates two power states

on the bridge. If the LED is green, the bridge is powered on. If the LED

is yellow, the bridge is in the process of performing a “Power-On-Self-

Test” or a the bridge has a processor problem.

FC470 Web Interface 7

Reset Button 0

The FC470 contains a reset button that is used to force a manual reboot

of the bridge. A pen or other small object must be used to access the

reset button. You can also reboot the FC470 from the web interface.

FC470 Web Interface 0

The FC470 utilizes a web-based interface which allows you to

configure and manage the bridge from a remote workstation on the

same network. The FC470 is managed through the following web

pages (accessible using Internet browser software installed on the host

computer):

•Home Page contains status information, including a physical

image of the FC470.

•System Page allows you to configure standard system

components.

•Ports Page allows you to configure both the SCSI and Fibre

Channel ports

•Discovery Page allows you to display connected devices and

discover new devices

•Mapping Page allows you to display and configure route mapping

•Statistics Page displays the FC470 statistics

•Utilities Page allows you to access FTP utilities and trace

information

•Report Menu displays the consolidated view of all FC470 systems

•Reboot Option allows you to remotely reboot the FC470

The FC470 supports the following web browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or later

You can download this software from

http://www.microsoft.com.

• Netscape Navigator 6.2 or later

You can download this software from

http://www.netscape.com.

Caution: Resetting the FC470 during a backup/restore job can

result in a disruption of that process and loss of data.

Ensure all data transfer jobs have completed before

resetting the FC470.
