      Note:
      • It is recommended that you complete this installation procedure before attaching any devices to the adapter.

      1. Perform the installation procedure in (A) to pre-install the Celerity FC driver. Shutdown Windows when Setup prompts you to do so.
      2. Install your Celerity FC adapter into an available PCI expansion slot.
      3. Restart Windows. Windows should detect your Celerity FC adapter and the Found New Hardware Wizard should appear. Proceed through the wizard with the default settings for each adapter channel. During the installation, you may be prompted to insert the Celerity FC installation media. Make sure that the driver you used in procedure (A) is present and click 'OK' to continue installation.
      4. For Windows XP x86, when installation is complete, the Found New Hardware Wizard will appear for an "ATTO Phantom Device" for each channel. Proceed through the wizard with the default settings to complete the installation.
      5. Shutdown the system and setup the final hardware configuration.

        1. If the Celerity FC adapter is replacing another one in the system, disconnect the cables from the old adapter and remove it from the system. Optionally, you can move the Celerity FC adapter to the PCI slot that the previous adapter occupied if this slot is more suitable.
        2. Attach the appropriate cables to the Celerity FC adapter.
        3. Close the computer chassis, turn on the power and restart Windows. Note: If you moved the adapter to a different PCI slot, the Found New Hardware Wizard will appear. Proceed through the wizard with the default settings for each adapter channel to complete the installation.

    3. Installing a fresh copy of Windows onto a disk attached to the Celerity FC adapter

      Note:

      1. Start Windows text mode setup as per the instructions provided with Windows. Press F6 when the first blue window appears called "Windows Setup". The setup program will display a prompt in the status window on the bottom left of the monitor. Setup will continue to load files after you press F6.
      2. A new window will appear that gives instructions to specify additional mass storage devices. Press 'S' indicating that you wish to install a storage device.
      3. Insert the Celerity FC installation disk in drive A: and press Enter. You should then be presented with a screen from which you would normally select a driver, but only a list of Celerity FC adapters should appear. Select your adapter and Press Enter.
      4. Windows Setup will load the files from the floppy and then display screen described in step 2. The 'ATTO Celerity FC' device should now be listed as detected.
      5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for any other vendor-supplied driver installation disks. After all other drivers have been processed, press Enter and proceed with the rest of the Windows installation procedure.

      Note:

      • When Windows begins copying files to your hard disk, you will again be prompted to insert the Celerity FC installation disk (and any other vendor-supplied disks you used during custom installation). This is normal. The first time you inserted the disks, Windows only loaded the drivers into memory; the second time you insert the disk(s), Windows is copying the driver to your hard disk.
      • For Windows Server 2003, it is strongly recommended that you update to SP2 or later when installation is complete.

  6. Driver Events

    The reporting of driver events is controlled by the EventLogMask registry setting. EventLogMask is the sum of the event type values for the events you would like to see.

    Event Type Value (hexadecimal) Description
    Fatal 0x00000001 Fatal errors, always reported
    Link 0x00000002 FC link events
    SCSI 0x00000004 SCSI command errors
    Protocol 0x00000008 FC protocol errors
    Login 0x00000010 Device login/logout events
    RSCN 0x00000020 RSCN events
    Resource 0x00000040 Resource usage failures
    Info 0x00000080 Informational messages
    Underflow 0x00000800 Data underflow errors



















    In general, only errors that are output for event type 'Fatal' are significant; all others are mostly for informational or diagnostic purposes. When turning on event logging, be aware that certain events reported as errors are expected. For example, a SCSI Check Condition error will be reported for the first command sent to a device after power on or a reset condition. Also, certain data underrun errors are expected by the software and are normal.

    All events report the adapter number on which the event occurred. The adapter number is simply the order in which Windows initialized the adapter channels and has no relevance to what slot the adapter is in or which channel of the adapter is being reported.

    In the descriptions below, the ID is the Event ID reported in Event Viewer, and Severity is the Type reported in Event Viewer.

    The following events are classified as 'Fatal' and are always reported.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    8192 Error Error doing Bus Reset An error occurred while the system was attempting to reset link attached to the adapter channel.
    8195 Error Invalid SCSI Request Block. The operating system sent an unrecognized SCSI request block.
    8198 Error No PCI I/O Base Address The operating system was not able to map the device registers.
    8199 Error Can't Get Uncached Extension The operating system was unable to allocate the memory required for the uncached data required by the driver.
    8200 Error LunMask Allocation Error. The operating system was unable to allocate the memory required for the LUN mask array.
    8201 Error LunMask Registry Error - Total Value. The number of LUN mask records masking all LUNs on targets is greater than the number that the driver can handle, which is 256. This can happen if LUN mask records are created for new devices, then some of those devices are removed from the system and new records are added for the new devices but not removed for the old ones. Use the LUN mask utility to clean up records no longer needed.
    8202 Error LunMask Registry Error - Partial Value. The number of LUN mask records masking specific LUNs on targets is greater than the number that the driver can handle, which is 256. This can happen if LUN mask records are created for new devices, then some of those devices are removed from the system and new records are added for the new devices but not removed for the old ones. Use the LUN mask utility to clean up records no longer needed.
    8203 Error Maximum number of adapters exceeded. More than 64 adapter channels discovered. The driver can handle at most 64 adapter channels.
    32770 Error Unrecoverable FC layer error The FC layer encountered an unrecoverable error. The driver will attempt to reinitialize the FC layer
    32777 Error Stuck Frame Manager interrupt The Frame Manager interrupt could not be cleared in 100 iterations through the Frame Manager Interrupt procedure. The error is not fatal in that the FC layer may recover from the situation. It sometimes occurs during loop disturbances. If it is persistent, it may indicate a bad Fibre Channel cable or a misbehaving device.
    32778 Error SEST Programming Error. {Reason} Additional info: {Value} This error indicates that invalid parameters were used to program the SCSI Exchange State Table (SEST). The {Reason} can be one of: # of SEST entries out of range SEST length not a power of 2 SEST Logical or Physical Address is 0 Invalid SEST address alignment The Additional Info is either the SEST length or the SEST address. This error should never be seen in a released driver.
    32779 Warning ABTS received for Exchange OX_ID (OX_ID) Port ID: {PortID} An ABTS (Abort Sequence) Basic Link Service request has been received. An ABTS is typically sent by a SCSI Initiator (HBA) when a request has timed out. If Target Mode is disabled or if the Initiator is current- ly not logged in, this warning will always be reported regardless of the setting of EventLogMask. In these cases, the reported {PortID} will be 0. If Target Mode is enabled and the Initiator is logged in, this warning is reported only if the EVENT_TYPE_SCSI bit is set in EventLogMask.
    32785 Error PCI Bus Error, channel being reset PCI Status: {Status} Function Status: {Fstat} PCI-X Received Split Completion: (0/1) PCI-X Unexpected Split Completion: (0/1) PCI-X Split Completion Discarded: (0/1) A PCI Bus error has occurred. An attempt to reset and restart the adapter channel will be performed. Any I/O requests that are outstanding will be terminated with an error status (the OS may retry them). The additional information provided should be forwarded to Technical Support for analysis if the error persists.
    32788 Error Target Command received, Target Mode disabled! OX_ID {OX_ID} Frame Type {n} A SCSI command was received when Target Mode is not enabled on the adapter channel. This error indicates that something is wrong with the Initiator sending the command - it is not legal to send a SCSI command unless properly logged in at both the FC2 and FC4 levels and the TGT bit was set in the PRLI (Process Login) response.
    32789 Error Unexpected Primitive Send completion. The FC layer reported that a Primitive Send operation has completed. Since the OS and HW layers never send primitives, this completion is unexpected. This error should never occur in released drivers.
    32790 Error Unknown Event passed to {Function} Event {Event} Parameter {Parameter} An unknown event was sent from the FC layer to the indicated function. The Event Code and associated Parameter are displayed. This error should never occur in released drivers.
    32795 Error Unknown frame type received. OX_ID {Originator Exchange ID} Frame Type {FrameType}. An unknown frame type was received by the FC layer. This error indicates that some device sent an FC frame with an invalid or illegal FC Frame Type. The additional information should be reported to a Technical Support representative.
    32798 Error Multiple adapters with same Port Name {PortName}. Reflash and update WWNs of offending adapters. Two or more adapter channels in the computer have the same Port Name. Only the last 12 digits of the Port Name are displayed. No two ports in the world should ever have the same Port Name. Adapters are shipped from the factory with unique Port Names. Each adapter has a WWN sticker on it. The user should use the NODENAM3.BAT batch file in the DOS\UTILITIES directory on the driver diskette to re- program the offending adapters' Port Names using the WWN indicated on the sticker.
    32799 Error More than 3 attempts to recover from PCI errors in the last minute. Channel is now inoperative. After 3 attampts to recover from PCI errors within a one- minute period, the driver gives up and renders the adapter channel inoperative to avoid affecting the operation of the rest of the system. This error typically indicates that either the adapter or the slot into which it is plugged has a serious problem.
    61456 Error Initiator Not Logged In (Target Mode). OX_ID {Originator Exchange ID} Frame Type {Frame Type}. A SCSI command has been received from an Initiator who is not currently logged in.
    61468 Informational Bus Reset Request Completed. Status: {n} ({Desc}). This event indicates that a requested Bus Reset has completed. If there was no error during the reset procedure, this event will only be reported if the EVENT_TYPE_INFO bit is set in EventLogMask, otherwise it will be reported regardless of the EventLogMask.
    61469 Error Configuration parameters not found or corrupt. Please reflash card. This event indicates that the driver could not read the configuration parameters for the indicated adapter. Default configuration values will be used. The adapter needs to have its flash memory rewritten.
    61593 Error Unknown Event Code. Code is {Code}. Least Significant Word is {Info}. This event indicates that an unknown event code was generated by the driver code that the decoder does not know about. This event should never occur in a released driver.
    61696 Error Event Buffer Overflow. Number of Events Lost is {Count}. This event indicates that events occurred faster than the OS could get them dumped to the event log on disk. This doesn't happen very often.
    61969 Error Unexpected Exchange Event {Event} (XID {n}). This event indicates that an unexpected event code was passed internally to the driver's exchange callback function.
    62013 Error Chip error detected. Sliport Status:{n} Sliport Error1:{n} Sliport Error2:{n} This event indicates that a chip error has occurred.
    62014 Error Chip error detected. Semaphore Post Error. Semaphore Status Register:{n} This event indicates that the power on self test has errored.
























































































































































































    The following events are classified as 'Link'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    32769 Informational Bus Reset started Status: # (meaning). The link connected to the adapter channel is being reset. This can occur if the OS requests a bus reset to recover from some error situation or when a topology change is needed, for eaample when the channel is cur- rently in loop mode and needs to switch to point-to- point.
    32772 Informational FC Link Up. The FC link is in the operational state - synchronization has occurred, and speed and topology have been determined.
    32773 Informational FC Link Down. Synchronization has been lost.
    32780 Informational Login qualifier recovery complete Port ID {PortID}, Port Speed {Speed}, Topology {Topology} Link speed and topology have been established and the FC link has received a Port ID.
    32796 Informational Hub port change detected. Int Status {IntStat}, Port Status {PortStat} Change detected on hub port(s) {Ports}. A loop disturbance was detected on one of the hub ports on the 22XH card. The hub Interrupt and Port status are shown in hex.
    32800 Informational LIP occurred {count} time(s). The indicated number of LIP (Loop Initialize) primitives have occurred. The link is attempting to initialize in Loop mode.
    32801 Informational NOS/OLS occurred {count} time(s). The indicated number of NOS (Not Operational State) or OLS (Off Line State) primitives have occurred. The link is attempting to initialize in Point-to-Point mode.






































    The following events are classified as 'SCSI'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    32779 Warning ABTS received for Exchange OX_ID (OX_ID) Port ID: {PortID} An ABTS (Abort Sequence) Basic Link Service request has been received. An ABTS is typically sent by a SCSI Initiator (HBA) when a request has timed out. If Target Mode is disabled or if the Initiator is current- ly not logged in, this warning will always be reported regardless of the setting of EventLogMask. In these cases, the reported {PortID} will be 0. If Target Mode is enabled and the Initiator is logged in, this warning is reported only if the EVENT_TYPE_SCSI bit is set in EventLogMask.
    61440 Error SCSI Error. Error Code {Code}, Sense Key {Key}, Add'l Sense Code {ASC}, Command Code {Cmd}, Path ID {Path}, Target ID {TargetID}, LUN {Lun}. An error has been reported by the target device. The Error Code is usually 0x02 (Check Condition), in which case the Sense Key and Additional Sense Code displayed are valid. It is normal for the first command sent to a SCSI device after power on or reset to report a SCSI error, in which case the Sense Key would be 0x06 (Unit Attention) and the Additional Sense Code would be 0x29 (Power-On/Reset).
    61446 Informational SCSI Bus Reset Requested. The OS is requesting that a bus reset be performed. This may happen in cases where a request times out and the Abort that the driver attempts is not successful. The Bus Reset will cause the FC layer to send Target Reset Task Management requests to every logged in target. Any requests outstanding at the time will be completed with a status of Aborted due to Bus Reset.
    61470 Informational Task Mgt Code {n} ({Desc}) LUN {n}, Initiator Port ID {n} A task management command has been received.
    61479 Informational Task Mgt Sent, Code {n} ({Desc}) Target {n}, LUN {n}. A task management command has been sent in initiator mode.
    61482 Informational Task Mgt Complete, Code {n} ({Desc}) Target {n}, LUN {n}. A task management command has been successfully completed.
    61483 Informational Task Mgt Complete, Code {n} ({Desc}) Target {n}, LUN {n} Response Code {n} ({Desc}). A task management command has been rejected.
    61484 Informational IOC Error (Initiator). IOC Status is {n} ({Desc}) Task Mgt Code {n} ({Desc}) Target {n}, LUN {n} A task management request failed before being transmitted.




























































    The following events are classified as 'Protocol'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    61441 Error IOC Error (Initiator). IOC Status is {n} {Desc}. Command Code {Cmd}, Path ID {Path}, Target ID {Targ}, LUN {Lun} LBA {Logical Block Address}. A transport or other error has been detected on an Initiator mode request. Common errors reported might include 0x06, Aborted due to Bus Reset, or 0x0E, Lost Frame. Note that the Logical Block Address is only valid if the command is a read (0x28) or write (0x2A).
    61442 Error IOC Error (Target). IOC Status is {n} {Desc}. A transport or other error has been detected on a Target Mode assist. These errors are very rare.















    The following events are classified as 'Underflow'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    61441 Error IOC Error (Initiator). IOC Status is 21 (Data Underrun). Command Code {Cmd}, Path ID {Path}, Target ID {Targ}, LUN {Lun} LBA {Logical Block Address}. A Data Underrun has occurred. Data Underruns may occur quite expectedly on certain commands, such as Inquiry, due to the OS or application program specifying a larger buffer than required to execute the command, hence this particular error has its own enabling bit in the Event- LogMask. Note that the Logical Block Address is only valid if the command is a read (0x28) or write (0x2A). In the specific case of an Inquiry command, the Inquiry Page number can be found in one of the bytes of the reported "LBA."
















    The following events are classified as 'Login'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    32775 Informational Port Database Update requested. The Port Database is being updated. This happens whenever a change to the LUN masks has been made by the LUN mask application.
    61443 Informational Port Logged In. Port Name is {PortName}. The indicated port has logged in. Note that only the last 12 digits of the Port Name are displayed.
    61444 Informational Port Logged Out. Port Name is {PortName}. The indicated port has logged out. Note that only the last 12 digits of the Port Name are displayed. The logout may be explicit (requested by the device) or it may be implicit (it has gone offline without issuing a logout, its cable may have been pulled, etc.)

















    The following events are classified as 'Resource'.

    ID Severity Event Message Description
    61445 Warning Resource Failure. {ResourceType}. Unavailable Count is {count}. The driver encountered a situation where not enough of the indicated resource is available. The ResourceType will be one of the following. (The Registry entry controlling the number of each resource is indicated in parentheses.) SEST Entries (NumSest) Exchange CB's (NumXcb) Sequence CB's (NumScb) S/G Lists (NumSgLists, SglPageSize) Exchange CB's and Sequence CB's are only used for Target Mode. When running out of SEST Entries, Sequence CB's, or S/G Lists, nothing bad will happen; the driver will retry the operation when the resources become available. If running Target Mode, however, and there are not enough Exchange CB's, the incoming command(s) will be dropped and the Initiator will time these requests out and issue Aborts. If this happens, the NumXcb registry entry should be adjusted to a higher value. Refer to the registry.txt file for a complete description of the resource entries.
