Scan Fibre Devices
The
Scan Fibre Devices
option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all the
connected devices by loop ID. It lists information about each device; for example,
vendor name, product name, and revision. This information helps when
configuring your 2600 Series Adapter and attached devices.
Fibre Disk Utility
The
Fibre Disk Utility
option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all the
connected devices by loop ID. You can select a Fibre Channel hard disk and do
one of the following tasks:
