1.0 Overview
------------

1.1 IBM DS4000/FAStT FC-2 and FC2-133 Host Adapter Device Driver overview
------------------------------------------------------

   The IBM DS4000/FAStT FC-2 and FC2-133 Host Adapter Device Driver supports 
   Fibre Channel point-to-point, F-port, FL-port, N-port, and Arbitrated 
   Loop configurations. In addition, it also has the following features:

   -   Support for Full-duplex operation in loop configuration
   -   Support for Fibre Channel Tape
   -   Support for Reduced Interrupt Operation
   -   Windows Server 2003 STORport miniport PnP interface 

   This driver package is for 32-bit versions (IA32) of Windows Server 2003 
   only. There are separate Storport device driver packages for the 64-bit 
   Intel Architecture and the x64 (AMD64 and EM64T) versions of Windows 
   Server 2003. Windows 2000 operating system is not supported with the 
   Storport miniport device driver.

=======================================================================

1.2 Limitations
---------------

   Inter-operability with tape devices is supported on separate FC HBA and 
   FC switch zones. It is recommended to change the IBM FC-2 and FC2-133 
   FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Fibre Channel Tape Support BIOS setting of 
   Enable to Disable for the adapters that will be connected to the DS4000 
   storage server host port either directly or via FC SAN fabric. You can 
   configure the adapter NVRAM settings using the adapter Fast!UTIL 
   utility or the IBM FAStT Management Suite Java (FAStT MSJ) program. To 
   access Fast!UTIL utility, press Ctrl+Q during host BIOS initialization. 
   The FAStT MSJ is available at the IBM TotalStorage Disk Storage 
   Systems Technical Support web site:
  
   http://www.ibm.com/servers/storage/support/disk/

1.3 Enhancements
----------------

   This release of driver works with all versions of 32-bit versions of 
   Windows Server 2003 operating systems. This driver might also install in 
   Windows XP Professional. However, it is not tested by IBM nor certified by 
   Microsoft in Windows XP Professional environment. The Intel Architecture 
   64-bit (IA64) and the x64 (AMD64 and EM64T) versions of Windows Server 
   2003 drivers are available in separate Storport miniport version FC HBA 
   driver packages.
  

=======================================================================

1.4 Prerequisites for the update
---------------------------------

The adapter BIOS can be updated by booting the server to the BIOS 
update diskette, available from the IBM Support web site, then run the
following commands:

flasutil /f /l      <- This will update the BIOS and NVRAM for all of the  
                       adapters in the system.

flasutil /u         <- This will set the default region of the adapter
                       so that if 'Reset to Defaults' option is 
                       selected in Fast!Util, the new NVRAM defaults 
                       will be applied

This will update the IBM DS4000/FAStT Host Adapters,  IBM DS4000/FAStT FC-
2 or FC2-133 Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) in this server.

Note: The DS4000/FAStT  adapter BIOS  update program will only update like 
adapters. If you have a server that contains both the IBM DS4000/FAStT Host 
Adapters and IBM DS4000/FAStT FC-2 or FC2-133 Host Bus  Adapters, you must 
manually program each adapter at a time. Type 'flasutil" without any 
options to get to the list of adapters that you can select to update BIOS
and NVRAM settings.

is installed in an Windows Server 2003 server. You can either disabling or 
removing the HBA from the server if you do not have any more needs for the 
IBM FC-2 or FC2-133 Host Bus Adapter.

To remove an HBA:
Turn off your computer and remove the device from your computer according 
to the manufacturers instructions. At a later time, if you reinstall the 
same type of HBA in the server, it will be automatically recognized and 
installed with the saved driver.

Note: It is best practice to use the Add/Remove hardware function to 
      remove/uninstall the HBA(s) before you remove it from the server.

=======================================================================

4.0 Configuration Information
-----------------------------

The configurable driver parameters are divided into System Registry 
Parameters and NVRAM Parameters sections.

=======================================================================
4.1 NVRAM Parameters
---------------------

The default adapter NVRAM settings is optimized for Windows Server 2003 
environments. However, modifications to the NVRAM settings many be 
required depending on a given server configuration. You can configure the 
adapter NVRAM settings using the Fast!UTIL utility. To access Fast!UTIL 
utility, press Ctrl+Q during host BIOS initialization. 
 
Refer to the IBM DS4000/FAStT FC-2 Host Adapter Installation and User's Guide 
or IBM DS4000/FAStT FC2-133 Host Adapter Installation and User's Guide
for additional information on adapter NVRAM settings.


4.1.1 Hard Loop ID
------------------

It is recommended that you set different Hard Loop IDs for each IBM 
DS4000/FAStT FC-2 or FC2-133 HBA port in a single Host or in each Node in 
a cluster. 

For example, in Host Adapter Settings, set the Hard Loop ID to 125 for 
the first host in a cluster and set the Hard Loop ID to 124 for the 
other host in the cluster. 

If you do not assign different Hard Loop IDs, the Fibre Channel protocol 
will automatically assign soft-loop IDs when their is a hard-loop ID
conflict.


4.1.2 Port Down Retry Count
---------------------------

From the Advanced Adapter Settings, change the Port Down Retry Count to 70 if 
you have more than 5 devices on the fibre channel loop attached to the IBM 
DS4000/FAStT FC-2 Host Adapter or the adapter is in a Microsoft Windows 
servers that are part of an Microsoft Cluster Services configuration (MSCS).


Fibre Channel Host Adapters and Storage Subsystems are counted as fiber 
channel devices. You can configure the adapter using the Fast!UTIL 
utility. 

4.1.3 Data Rate
---------------

This setting determines the data rate. The default setting is 2, which
allows the Host Adapter port to negotiate for the best connection speed.
In certain cases, the adapter data rate must be locked at either 1Gbps
or 2Gbps. Use the FAST!Util utility to change this setting in the 
Extended Firmware Setting window.

4.1.4 LUNs per target
---------------------

This setting specifies the number of LUNs per target. Multiple LUN support is 
typically for redundant array of independent disks (RAID) boxes that use LUNs 
to map drives. The default is 0 to let the Microsoft Windows set the maximum 
number of LUNs per target. For SAN-boot configurations, this setting may need 
to change to a value of 256 to allow a LUN that is mapped to a LUN number 
other than 0 to be used as boot LUN. 


=======================================================================
4.2 System Registry Parameters
------------------------------

WARNING: - Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems 
           that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Use 
           Registry Editor at your own risk. 
         - Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how
           to restore it if a problem occurs. For information about 
           how to do this, view the "Restoring the Registry" Help
           topic in Regedt32.exe. 
        
Below is a description of the registry parameters used by the driver:


4.2.1 MaximumSGList
-------------------

Windows Server 2003 includes an enhanced scatter/gather list support
for doing very large SCSI I/O transfers.  
   
Windows NT supports up to 256 scatter/gather segments of 4096 bytes 
each, allowing transfers up to 1048576 bytes.

NOTE: The oemsetup.inf file has been updated to automatically update 
      the registry to support 256 scatter/gather segments. This is a change
      from previous releases of the driver. In the previous releases, this
      setting was set at 65.

If you want to change this value, use the following procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to 
   the IBM driver as follows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> 
   Ql2300 -> Parameters -> Device

3. Double-click:

   MaximumSGList:REG_DWORD:0x21

4. Enter a value from 16 to 255 (0x10 hex to 0xFF).  A value of 255 
   (0xFF) enables the maximum 1 MByte transfer size. Setting a value 
   higher than 255 results with the default of 64K transfers. The 
   default value is 255 (0xFF).

5. Click OK.

6. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.

   
4.2.2 Number Of Requests
------------------------

   Windows Server 2003 supports the NumberOfRequests registry 
   parameter to specify the maximum number of outstanding requests per 
   adapter. When the IBM driver is installed, the registry will be 
   automatically updated with this parameter set to a value of 150
   (0x96).

   CAUTION: DO NOT increase this parameter above 150.
            Doing so can result in a system failure.


4.2.3 Fabric Supported
----------------------

By default, the driver supports Fibre Channel fabric (switch). 
Should you wish to disable fabric support please use the following 
procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to

   DriverParameters:REG_SZ:MSCS=2;UseSameNN=1

4. If the string FabricSupported= does not exist, append to end of 
   string;

         FabricSupported=0

5. If the string FabricSupported=1 exists, change the value from 1 to 0.

6. Click OK.

7. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.


4.2.4  Portname
---------------

By default, the driver track devices by their port names.  To
configure the driver to track devices by node names,
use the following procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the 
   IBM driver as follows:

   KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet ->Services -> Ql2300 ->
   Parameters -> Device

3. Double-click:

   DriverParameters:REG_SZ:MSCS=2;UseSameNN=1

4. If the string Portname= does not exist, append to end of string;

   Portname=0

5. If the string Portname=1 exists, change the value from 1 to 0.

6. Click OK.

7. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.


4.2.5 Fibre Channel Tape
------------------------

To configure the driver to support Fibre Channel tape, use the 
following procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the 
   IBM driver as follows:
    
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> Ql2300 
   -> Parameters -> Device

3. Double-click:

   DriverParameters:REG_SZ:MSCS=2;UseSameNN=1

4. If the string FCTape= does not exist, append to end of string;

   FCTape=1

5. If the string FCTape=0 exists, change the value from 0 to 1.

6. Click OK.

7. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.


4.2.6 MSCS
----------

In SAN configuration, the driver is required to handle RSCN efficiently 
to avoid disruption of I/O because of unnecessary re-logins.  However, 
in Microsoft Cluster environment, it is necessary for the driver 
performs re-logins because the shared storage subsystems may be reset 
by other initiators through a ResetBus operation.

The driver parameter MSCS is designed to accommodate the conflicting 
needs on how to handle RSCN in both environments.  It accepts three 
values:

Value    RSCN Handling Environment
-----    -------------------------

 0        Upon receiving RSCN, performs logins to SAN
          devices only if necessary
 1        Upon receiving RSCN, always performs logins
          Cluster
 2        Upon receiving RSCN, attempts to detect whether the
          system is running in the Cluster SAN/Cluster
          environment during boot.  If yes, always
          performs logins upon receiving RSCN.  If not,
          performs logins only if necessary

By default, the oemsetup.inf file is set up to have MSCS set to 2.  To 
change the driver to handle RSCN differently, use the following 
procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the 
   IBM driver as follows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet ->
    Services -> Ql2300 -> Parameters -> Device

3. Double-click:

   DriverParameters:REG_SZ:MSCS=2;UseSameNN=1

4. If the string MSCS= does not exist, append to end of string;

   MSCS=n

   where n = 0, 1, or 2.

5. If the string MSCS= exists, change the value to the desired value.

6. Click OK.

7. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.


4.2.7 UseSameNN
---------------

By default, if you have multiple Fibre Channel HBAs on the same system, 
the driver will assign the world wide node name obtained from the first 
HBA to the rest of the HBAs.

If you wish to have each HBAs to assume the world wide node name based 
on its own NVRAM content, you need to disable this feature by setting 
the UseSameNN parameter to 0.  Please use the following procedure to 
change the UseSameNN parameter:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the 
   IBM driver as follows:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> 
   Ql2300 -> Parameters -> Device

3. Double-click:

    DriverParameters:REG_SZ:MSCS=2;UseSameNN=1

4. If the string UseSameNN= does not exist, append to end of string;

   UseSameNN=0

5. If the string UseSameNN=1 exists, change the value from 1 to  0.

6. Click OK.

7. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.


4.2.8 Buschange
---------------

The Storport miniport version of the FC HBA device driver does not support 
the setting of buschange parameter to 0. The default setting of the buschange 
parameter when it is not specified is 2 and it should not be changed to any 
other value. 

4.2.9 Disk TimeOutValue (in secs)
---------------------------------
Note: In Microsoft Cluster Services (MSCS) configurations, this setting must 
be changed to 120. In addition, in certain DS4000 storage server maximum 
configuration installation, it may be required to set the TimeOutValue to 120 
(decimal.) Changing this value to a higher value might affect your 
application especially when it requires the disk IO completion 
acknowledgement within a certain amount of time.  

ATTENTION: To ensure the driver function properly, the device driver sets the 
system related registry - Disk TimeOutValue. When installing Microsoft 
clustering service (MSCS), the cluster install wizard changes this value to 
20. You must change this value back to 120(0x78) to ensure proper operation 
of the HBA when connecting to DS4000 storage servers in MSCS configurations. 
To modify this registry value, use the following procedure:

1. Click Start -> Run. When the Run window opens, enter REGEDT32
   and click open to start the Windows Server 2003 registry 
   modification program.

2. Select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and follow the tree structure down to the 
   Disk TimeOutValue as follows:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet ->
    Services -> Disk

3. Double-click:

   TimeOutValue:REG_DWORD:0x14

4. If the value is not 120 (0x78) in MSCS configurations, change it. 

5. Click OK.

6. Exit the Registry Editor, then shutdown and reboot the system.

=======================================================================

4.3 Configuration Notes
------------------------

Support for more than 8 LUNs
----------------------------

Windows Server 2003 uses the ANSI-approved version field of the Inquiry 
data returned by the target device to determine whether it should support 
only 8 LUNs or 255 LUNs. If the field indicates that the target device 
complies to SCSI-3 standard, the operating system will enable more than 
8 LUNs support. Otherwise, it will support only 8 LUNs.

Enhanced Loop ID
----------------

Of 0 - FFh Loop Ids, some are preallocated for special functions and are 
not available for use by devices:

Loop IDs   Functions
--------   ----------
 7Eh       FL_Port (S_ID=FFFFFEh)
 7Fh       Switch Fabric Controller (S_ID=FFFFFDh)
 80h       Switch Name Server (S_ID=FFFFFCh)
 81h       Switch Embedded Port (FFFc4xh) used for
           FC-4 probing (Brocade only)
 FFh       IP Broadcast

     
Connection options
------------------

The following connection options are supported:

Value      Connection
-----     -----------------
 00        Start in loop mode, by transmitting Lip F7F7
 01        Start in point-to-point mode, by transmitting NOS/OLS
 02        Start in loop mode first, then switch to point-
           to-point mode if NOS is detected.

The connection option is currently stored in the NVRAM and can  be 
changed through the Fast!Util. The default value of the connection mode 
is 2.


Fibre Channel Tape support
--------------------------

There are two ways to enable Fibre Channel (FC) tape support, the first 
method is to enable the FC tape support NVRAM setting in the HBA Extended 
Firmware Setting window. You can configure the FC HBA NVRAM settings using 
the FC HBA Fast!UTIL utility or the IBM FAStT Management Suite Java (FAStT 
MSJ) program. To access Fast!UTIL utility, press Ctrl+Q during host BIOS 
initialization (see section 4.1.)

The second way is to set the Fibre Channel Tape Driver Parameters in the 
system registry to 1.

Link Down Timeout BIOS setting
-------------------------------

The IBM FC-2 and FC2-133 FC HBA Link Down Timeout BIOS setting should be 
set to 30 when the Microsoft Windows servers that the FC HBAs are in are 
part of a MSCS configuration. You can configure the FC HBA NVRAM settings 
using the FC HBA Fast!UTIL utility or the IBM FAStT Management Suite Java 
(FAStT MSJ) program. To access Fast!UTIL utility, press Ctrl+Q during host

  the system disk driver during driver installation through the use of the 
  oemsetup.inf file.  Those values are not being restored upon driver 
  removal.
