Setting up the Profile System
Use either the Fibre Channel dialog box in the Configuration Manager or the
fcconfig command to set up the Profile system’s Fibre Channel configuration. In the
Profile Family User Manual, refer to “Setting Up Fibre Channel Networking” when
using the Configuration Manager, or to “Fibre Channel IP Address Set Up” when
using
fcconfig . These references contain general information about configuring the
Profile system for Fibre Channel.
1. Set the Profile system’s Fibre Channel IP address.
2. Set the gateway address to be the same as the Origin server’s Fibre Channel
address. If several Fibre Channel cards are installed on the Origin server,
configure each Profile system connected to a particular Origin server Fibre
Channel card to use that card’s Fibre Channel address as that Profile system’s
gateway address.
3. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
4. Set the hardware address to a unique non-zero number in the range 1 to 120.
5. Open the C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file in Notepad.
a. Add to the file the Ethernet and Fibre Channel IP addresses for all Profile
systems to which the Origin server will connect.
b. Add to the file the Origin server’s Ethernet and Fibre Channel IP addresses
following this format:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
yyy.yyy.yyy.yy _fc0
6. Make sure the following are running on the Profile system. You can start these
manually, or by adding them to the pdrstart.bat file (the commands are most
likely there already and you need only to remove the rem statements).
htssvc chgsrvr portsvr
7. Check the NT Services to verify that the portmap service is running.
