In your NetApp side I read:

connection established “loop”. It should be ptp for a fabric. Are you sure that your HBA on NetApp is well configured? It should be so by default but…

On 7-Mode (on CM I don’t remember)

fcp show adapter -v

The current media type setting is displayed.

To change the setting of a target port to “ptp” for direct connections, enter the following commands at a storage system command prompt:

fcp config adapter down

fcp config adapter mediatype ptp

fcp config adapter up

Oggetto: FCP Ports operational down

Hi there,

I’m having a hard time currently connecting my new FAS8020 to our existing fabric – the FCP ports just won‘t get online and I’m not sure where exactly the problem is and how to debug that since I’m more the NAS guy not having much practical experience with FCP configurations, so here’s the deal for all of you who are wanting to help.

FCP Adater on NetApp:

Node: jetfire

Adapter: 1b

Description: Fibre Channel Target Adapter 1b (QLogic 8324 (8362), rev. 2, 16G)

Physical Protocol: fibre-channel

Maximum Speed: 16

Status: link not connected

Substatus: ADAPTER UP

Host Port Address: 0

Firmware Revision: 6.10.0

Data Link Rate (Gbit): 0

Fabric Established: false

Connection Established: loop

Mediatype: ptp

Configured Speed: 4

Configured State: up

Switch Port: :

AFAIK, the 16Gbit/s adapter should be backwards compatible to 4Gbit/s, our switch only has 4Gbit/s but it supports NPIV which seems to be a requirement for running Clustered Data Ontap via FC.

So, I have no idea what information I should provide upfront for someone who’s wanting to help me through get through that, but I’m more than happy to send more info when requested.

Thanks,

Alexander Griesser
