1.0 Installing the ATTO FibreBridge
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products provides Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridges as standard PCI
boards, stand alone enclosures that can be fitted for rack mount integration, or desktop units, depending
on the model and your needs.
Fibre Channel is a serial communications
technology designed to transfer large amounts of
data between a variety of hardware systems over
long distances. It is a key technology for
applications that require shared, high bandwidth
access to storage.
Fibre Channel provides a logical point-to point
serial channel for the transfer of data between a
buffer at a source device and a buffer at a
destination device. It moves buffer contents from
one port to another, without regard to the format
or meaning of the data, so different upper level
protocols are able to run over Fibre Channel
hardware.
The Fibre Channel architecture is structured as a
hierarchical set of protocol layers. Defined within
these layers are rules for signal interfaces, serial
encoding and decoding, error control, frame
format and communications protocols.
All ATTO FibreBridgeTM models can be used in a
SAN (Storage Area Network) to connect a variety
of Fibre Channel and SCSI devices to meet your
needs.
A SAN is a shared storage architecture connecting
computers and storage devices for online data
access. Each connected system can directly access
any attached storage device. Storage devices

could include RAID, tape backup, tape library,
CD-ROM library or JBOD.
SANs maintain greater fault tolerance and load
balancing by supporting server clustering and
failover (the ability for one server to take over for
another in the event of a failure).
The ATTO FibreBridge provides the interface
between SCSI and Fibre Channel resources in
SANs. Possible configurations depend upon your
current hardware and what you need to do.
The ATTO FibreBridge family of products shares
common configuration options and functions to
provide the most versatile connectivity options
available. Each product has been engineered to
address specific customer needs. New capabilities
are integrated into products throughout the
FibreBridge family as much as possible, requiring
only an upgrade of firmware to incorporate them
into your SAN (see Updating firmware on page
79). To make sure you have the most up-to-date
version of the firmware, visit the ATTO
Technology website, www.attotech.com.
All ATTO FibreBridge models are operating
system independent and include full duplex mode,
Class 2 transfers and direct fabric connect
capabilities.

Installation

1.1 Cabling
ATTO FibreBridge SCSI ports connect SCSI storage devices into the Fibre Channel Storage Area
Network (SAN). Use an Ethernet connection to use the ATTO ExpressNAV interface (not available for
the FibreBridge 1180).
Make sure all cables are anchored securely at both
ends with the proper connectors.
SCSI port connections
The FibreBridge supports a wide variety of SCSI
storage devices including stand-alone drives,
removable drives, JBODs, tape, CD and DVD
drives, changers, libraries and magneto optical
drives.
Each SCSI port is totally independent from the
other SCSI port. Each bus may support up to 15
devices and each SCSI bus auto-negotiates the
appropriate sync rates with the connected devices.
If slower devices are mixed with faster devices,
the bus will communicate at the rate of the slowest
device.
Connect slower devices to one SCSI port and
faster devices to the other port.
Connect a SCSI connector from the SCSI device
to a SCSI port on the FibreBridge.

Serial port connections
The ATTO FibreBridge supports remote service
operations over the RS-232 serial port using
standard terminal emulation software available
with most systems.
Connect a DB-9 crossover serial cable (null
modem) between the ATTO FibreBridge serial
port and one of the computer's serial COM ports.
A gender changer or DB-9 to DB-25 converter
may be needed depending on the cables being
used.

Ethernet connections
This section does not apply to the ATTO
FibreBridge 1180.
The 10/100 BaseT Ethernet port provides remote
monitoring and management using the ATTO
ExpressNAV interface.
When you connect an Ethernet cable between the
FibreBridge and a 10/100Base-T connection, you
may need a crossover cable connecting directly to
a computer. The ATTO FibreBridge will auto
detect the Ethernet speed by default.

Installation: Fibre Channel ports

1.1.1 Using the Ethernet port
The easiest way to communicate with the ATTO FibreBridge is to use the browser-based interface, ATTO
ExpressNAV. Your FibreBridge must be recognized by the network by finding or assigning it an IP
address. ATTO ExpressNAV is not available for the ATTO FibreBridge 1180.
FibreBridge 2400
The FibreBridge 2400 is set up by default to
request an IP address from a DHCP server. If you
do not have a DHCP server to assign IP addresses
to devices, get an IP address from your network
administrator and continue with the section Other
models (except FB 1180, 2400)
When using DHCP, the QuickNAV utility, from
the CD included with your FibreBridge, finds
your FibreBridge on your network.

The ServicesLUN will execute the command
line and create feedback in the form of ASCII
characters into a buffer. This buffer is 8KB and
circular. Retrieve the results by issuing a
ReadBuffer command before issuing another
WriteBuffer command.

In-band CLI is implemented as a device separate
from the FibreBridge itself. It uses a different
LUN than the FibreBridge, and reports as a
Storage Enclosure Services (SES) device (device
type 0x0D). This LUN is referred to as the
ServicesLUN.

4

A subsequent WriteBuffer command will
execute the new command line and overwrite
the previous results in the buffer with new
results.

5

The ServicesLUN can be released by issuing a
SCSI Release command to the Services LUN
after each Write/Read Buffer pair, or multiple
Write/Read Buffer pairs.

The ServicesLUN is visible on all Fibre ports but
is actually a single unit. The default Fibre LUN
for each Fibre port’s ServicesLUN is 0x08.

2.5 Command Line Interface use and guidance
The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO FibreBridge Services through a set of
ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.
FibreBridge Services provide configuration and
monitoring for the FibreBridge. The command
line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based
commands which perform these tasks. CLI
commands may be entered while in CLI mode.
• CLI commands are context sensitive and
generally follow a standard format
[Get|Set] Command [Parameter1|Parameter2]
followed by the return or enter key
• CLI commands are case insensitive: you may
type all upper or all lower case or a mixture.
Upper and lower case in this manual and the
help screen are for clarification only.
• Commands generally have three types of
operation: get, set and immediate.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.
• Responses to get commands are followed by
Ready.

• The set form is an action that changes the value
of a parameter or configuration setting. It may
require a SaveConfiguration command and a
restart of the system before it is implemented.
The restart can be accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration command or by using a
separate FirmwareRestart command. A
number of set commands may be issued before
the SaveConfiguration command.
• Responses to set commands are either an error
message or Ready. *. The asterisk indicates
you must use a SaveConfiguration command
to finalize the set command.
SaveConfiguration will ask if you want to
restart the system or not.
• Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration command, defined as
immediate commands, are immediately
executed.
• Responses to Immediate commands are either
an error message or data results followed by
Ready.

Interfaces: CLI commands summary

2.5.2 General use commands
These CLI commands are used in a variety of situations. Any commands which require Ethernet are not
available for ATTO FibreBridge 1180 models. Refer to the CLI summary reference on page 41 to
determine which CLI commands apply to your model.
Help
Displays a list of available commands. If command name
is specified, displays detailed command-specific
information.

RestoreConfiguration
Restores configuration to either the default configuration
or the configuration last saved into non-volatile memory.
The saved option will undo any changes made since the
last save.
Immediate: RestoreConfiguration [Default | Saved]

SaveConfiguration
Many commands require a SaveConfiguration
command to be executed. This will be indicated by the
return Ready. *. When you invoke a

SaveConfiguration command, the current
configuration is permanently saved in the FibreBridge
and the new configuration becomes the active
configuration. If a firmware restart is required to make
the requested change permanent, you are asked to
confirm the restart. You can override this request by
indicating the override value on the command line. You
may make several changes through commands before
implementing the restart, but once you have restarted the
FibreBridge, all the command changes created before the
restart and save will be implemented. If you select the
restart option, the FibreBridge will execute its complete
start up cycle.
Immediate: SaveConfiguration 

VerboseMode

3.0 Configuring the FibreBridge
To configure the ATTO FibreBridge through FibreBridge Services, use ATTO ExpressNAV (a browserbased graphical user interface) for all models except the FibreBridge 1180. Use ATTO BridgeTools to
configure the FibreBridge 1180. Default values are appropriate for most configurations, but may be
modified.
ATTO FibreBridge Services includes the means
to display and modify various attributes of
FibreBridge operation, as well as to update
firmware. The best way to access FibreBridge
Services for all models except the FibreBridge
1180 is to use ATTO ExpressNAV, a browserbased graphical interface. Refer to ATTO
ExpressNAV interface on page 31. ATTO
BridgeTools provides a graphical interface for the
FibreBridge 1180. Refer to ATTO BridgeTools
for FB1180 only on page 35.
Other methods are also available depending on
your FibreBridge model, your operating system,
what you want to accomplish, and the method you
are using to access FibreBridge Services. Refer to
Using the serial port on page 7.

To use ATTO ExpressNAV you must know the IP
address for the FibreBridge. Refer to Using the
Ethernet port on page 5.
After getting an IP address and entering ATTO
ExpressNAV, or using ATTO BridgeTools for the
FibreBridge 1180 model, you must map devices
so that the FibreBridge can access the devices in
your network. (Refer to Mapping on page 67).
Additionally, it is best practice to change the
default username and password. Refer to Optional
configurations on page 75.
Several Fibre Channel hosts or initiators may
initiate commands through the FibreBridge to
SCSI devices. The basic mechanism to resolve
possible conflicts among initiators is to use SCSI
Reserve and Release commands. For details, refer
to Handling multiple initiators on page 65.

64
Configuration

3.0.1 Handling multiple initiators
Several Fibre Channel hosts or initiators may initiate commands through the FibreBridge to SCSI
devices. The basic mechanism to resolve possible conflicts among initiators is to use SCSI Reserve and
Release commands.
A Fibre Channel host may need exclusive access
to a SCSI device. SCSI Reserve and Release
commands allow logical units to be reserved or
released under host control.
The FibreBridge intercepts any Reserve or
Release command from a Fibre Channel host,
performs initial processing and, if appropriate,
relays the Reserve command to the SCSI device.
In a FibreBridge environment, the identity of the
initiator (WWN) is not relayed to the SCSI
device. A two-step process addresses initiator
identity in the FibreBridge, and reserves the SCSI
device on behalf of the FibreBridge.
Initiators on both the Fibre Channel (via the
FibreBridge) and on the SCSI bus may initiate
reserve and release commands to the SCSI
devices.
The FibreBridge processing of reserve and release
commands involves two tiers of verification. The
first tier is within the FibreBridge; the second tier
is within the SCSI device.
General verification procedure
1 The FibreBridge receives a SCSI Reserve
command.

Tier 1
2

The FibreBridge determines, via its internal
database, whether there are conflicting
concurrent reservations from Fibre Channel
hosts for the target SCSI device.

3

4

If there is a conflict, the FibreBridge returns a
check condition with reservation conflict to the
initiator.
If there is no conflict, the FibreBridge marks the
SCSI device as reserved in its internal
database.

Tier 2
5
6
7

8

The FibreBridge relays the Reserve command
to the SCSI device.
The SCSI device determines whether it is
already reserved.
If the SCSI device is already reserved, it returns
a reservation conflict to the FibreBridge. The
FibreBridge removes its reserved indicator in its
internal database, and returns reservation
conflict to the initiator.
If the SCSI device was not previously reserved,
the SCSI device is reserved and returns
success to the FibreBridge. The FibreBridge
then returns success to the initiator.

The FibreBridge does not implement extent
reservation.
Single initiator
A single initiator presents no conflicts.

Arbitrated Loop Port Address (AL_PA)
On a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop, the
FibreBridge appears at a single Arbitrated Loop
Port Address (AL_PA). Each device on an
arbitrated loop is assigned a unique AL_PA
during loop initialization. The FibreBridge
supports both modes of AL_PA assignment,
commonly referred to as hard and soft addressing.
allows the loop initialization
master to assign the FibreBridge a unique AL_PA
during the loop initialization process. The AL_PA
assigned cannot be determined before loop
initialization. For example, adding new devices to
an arbitrated loop may change the AL_PA
assigned to the FibreBridge.
Soft addressing

allows a predetermined AL_PA
to be assigned to the FibreBridge. The
FibreBridge will try to acquire the desired hard
AL_PA. If another device has already been
assigned the specified AL_PA, the FibreBridge
will acquire a currently unassigned AL_PA.

Hard addressing

The default mode is soft addressing.
Addressing devices
SCSI devices connected to the FibreBridge also
show up as Fibre Channel LUNs to the host
computer. SCSI devices must be on the same
addressing level as the SCSI portion of the
FibreBridge. The FibreBridge SCSI ID must be
set to a different SCSI ID from the other devices
on the same bus.

Manual SCSI device route mapping
Manual mapping allows you to maximize the
efficiency of your SCSI devices while allowing
greater flexibility.
Using the CLI, you can ask the FibreBridge to
find all the SCSI devices on its SCSI bus. With
this information you then decide where you want
to place these devices. Refer to Command Line
Interface use and guidance on page 39.

Note
Two SCSI devices cannot be mapped to the
same FC port and FC LUN. If the same SCSI
device is mapped to two different FC ports
and/or FC LUNs, these FC port and FC LUNs
will be taken offline automatically until the
conflict is resolved.

ATTO ExpressNAV and ATTO BridgeTools make
manual mapping easy. For more information,
refer to Mapping on page 67.
You may also map SCSI devices manually by
using the Command Line Interface RouteXXX
family of commands.The RouteXxxxx and
AutoMap commands provide the mechanism to
map Fibre Channel Port/LUN to SCSI
bus/target/LUN.
AutoMap establishes a default mapping of Fibre
ports and Fibre LUNs, and the RouteXxxxx

commands manage the mapping, including
display of current mapping and modification.
RouteDisplay displays the current mapping, in
Fibre port, Fibre LUN order, showing the mapped
SCSI bus/target/LUN, and the current status of the
device (online, offline, unavailable, going
offline). RouteDisplay may be used at any time.

(not
available on the FibreBridge 2400) modify the
mapping as required (e.g. to make a device
inaccessible, to replace a non-functioning mapped
unit with another, to manage wear on tape drives).
RouteOffline, RouteChange, RouteOnline

Before modifying a map, set it offline via the
RouteOffline command. This process notifies
the FibreBridge to stop accepting SCSI
commands (e.g. data transfers, inquiry, etc.) for
the mapped device.
The RouteOffline command takes effect in two
stages
1

The device is marked Going Offline, indicating
the FibreBridge will complete any current SCSI
commands for the mapped device, and will
reject any subsequent SCSI commands for that
device.

2

When all current SCSI commands for the
device are complete, the device status
transitions to Offline, and the FibreBridge
rejects any subsequent SCSI commands for
that device.

After the device is Offline (verify this with the
RouteDisplay command), use the
RouteChange command to change its mapping.
Use the RouteDisplay command to review the
changes before setting the affected devices online.
When all changes are complete and correct, use
the RouteOnline command to set devices online.
It is not necessary to set all mapped devices
online: SCSI commands sent to offline devices
are rejected.
Appendix A shows the sequence of AutoMap and
RouteXxxxx commands.

3.1.2 Static device addressing
Static device addressing presents internal devices and external SCSI devices as a Fibre Channel LUN
to a host. All ports on the FibreBridge use the same Fibre Channel node name, but each port has a
unique Fibre Channel port name.
The ATTO FibreBridge allows parallel SCSI
devices to participate in a Fibre Channel
arbitrated loop or on a fabric. Fibre Channel and
parallel SCSI use different models to address
devices. The FibreBridge translates between these
addressing models.

3.1.3 Logical Unit addressing for FB2400 only
The FibreBridge 2400 may be configured to take advantage of Logical Unit Addressing using the
Command Line ASCII-based interface.
In standard device mapping and formatting, as
described in Static device addressing on page 71,
target devices are only visible if you have mapped
them specifically to Fibre Channel ports. You may
use ATTO ExpressNAV to map devices as
described in Mapping on page 67.
If you enable Logical Unit Addressing through
the Command Line Interface (refer to Using the
serial port on page 7), a scan is performed when
power is applied to the system and a list is made
of all devices. All target devices are visible to all
Fibre Channel ports, with each port sharing a
common Fibre Channel node name.

One advantage to this method is that you can
enable port failover in which a designated Fibre
Channel port is marked as reserve and becomes
active only if another port fails.
To enable Logical Unit Addressing, use the CLI
and, at the Ready prompt, type
set LogicalUnitAddressing enabled

To see the SCSI address mappings, type

Port Failover for FB2400 only
The FibreBridge 2400 may be configured to
reserve a port to take over in case another port
fails.
If you enable Logical Unit Addressing through
the Command Line Interface (refer to Using the
serial port on page 7), you can enable port failover
in which a designated Fibre Channel port is
marked as reserve and becomes active only if
another port fails.
To enable port failover, enter the CLI and type
set FCPortFailover enabled

To restore a bridge that has experienced a failover
to its pre-failover state, type

4.0 Serverless backup support
Serverless Backup is an application that allows data to be copied between two storage devices (Fibre
Channel disks, SCSI disks and SCSI tapes) with minimal intervention from a server. Serverless backup
is not available for the FibreBridge 2400.
As the volume of data on a network grows, the
resources required to back up this data also grow.
Data protection requires that large volumes of
data be copied from on-line storage devices to
dedicated archive devices which places a heavy
load on the host processors, I/O busses, memory
busses, and front-end network.
Serverless Backup uses the Extended Copy
command compliant with T10/99-143rl to allow a
copy manager (the FibreBridge) to execute all of
the read and write operations necessary to move
data. Blocks of data are moved directly from the
Fibre Channel storage through the bridge to SCSI
tape or from SCSI storage through the bridge to
the SCSI tape, all at Fibre Channel and SCSI
speeds.
The ATTO FibreBridge will execute Extended
Copy commands to and from SCSI tape drives
connected directly to the FibreBridge. The hard
drives you are backing up or restoring to can be
anywhere on the Storage Area Network, including
SCSI drives attached to the bridge. The Extended
Copy command contains target and segment
descriptors used to define which data is to be
moved between which devices.
Target Descriptors allow the host to describe the
devices involved in the Extended Copy. To be
compatible with all copy agent application
packages, the FibreBridge implementation
supports World Wide Name, N_Port ID, and
WWN plus N_Port ID descriptor types.
Segment Descriptors describe the data to copy
and how much of it to copy. The FibreBridge
supports the two most common types of Segment
Descriptors, block (disk) to stream (tape) and

stream (tape) to block (drive) and the following
descriptors: block to block, stream to stream,
inline to stream, and stream to discard.
The FibreBridge will support copying up to 830
MB of data in a single Extended Copy command.
Larger files must be backed up or restored using
additional operations. The bridge can support up
to eight simultaneous Extended Copy commands.
How it works
1

A copy agent on the server provides a user
interface to begin a backup or restore operation
as well as manage and synchronize the
movement of data sets. This copy agent is
either included or available as an add-on with
many high-end tape backup software
applications on the market.

2

The server sends a single Extended Copy
command to the FibreBridge or to a SCSI
device beyond the bridge.

3

The bridge interprets the segment descriptors
and issues read commands to the appropriate
devices.

4

Once enough data is read, the bridge will issue
write commands to the appropriate device.

5

Once all of the segment descriptors have been
executed, the bridge will send status to the
copy agent running in the server. The data
never passes through the server, thus freeing
the CPU and Memory to process other
requests.

Procedure
1

Enter the Command Line Interface. Refer to
Using the serial port on page 7.

2

After the Ready prompt, type set Fcinitiator
enabled.

3

Type saveconfiguration restart.

5.0 Updating firmware
The ATTO FibreBridge has several processors which control the flow of data. The firmware to control
these processors can be upgraded in the field using the WriteBuffer command over the in-band Fibre
Channel connection (not available for the FibreBridge 2400), PUT command from an FTP connection,
or ZModem utility over an RS-232 serial connection. Use the RS-232 option for the FibreBridge 1180.
Use ATTO ExpressNAV for the FibreBridge 2400.
Note
The recommended management tool for
updating firmware for the FibreBridge 2400 is
the ATTO ExpressNAV interface. Use the
Update Firmware page. Refer to Update
firmware on the FibreBridge 2400 on page
80.

The FibreBridge firmware is distributed as a
compressed .JAR file and can be obtained from
the ATTO Technology, Inc. web site at

Standards and compliances

The equipment described in this manual generates and uses radio frequency energy. If this equipment is
not used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instruction, it can and may cause interference with
radio and television reception. See the ATTO FibreBridge Technical Specification sheet for your
particular model for a full list of certifications for that model.

FCC Standards: Radio and Television Interference
WARNING
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are
designed to provide a reasonable protection against such interference when operating in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference.

If this equipment does cause interference to radio and television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Move the receiving antenna.
• Relocate the bridge with respect to the receiver,
or move the bridge away from the receiver.
• Plug the computer into a different outlet so the
computer and receiver are on different branch
circuits.

• If necessary, consult an ATTO authorized
dealer, ATTO Technical Support Staff, or an
experienced radio/television technician for
additional suggestions.

The booklet How to Identify and Resolve Radio/TV Interference Problems prepared by the Federal
Communications Commission is a helpful guide. It is available from the US Government printing office,
Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.
Further results of FCC Testing
In certain instances, extraordinary variances in the AC power supplied to this unit will require the
operating system's normal error recovery procedure to retry the current SCSI command. In this case, the
unit can fully recover with no loss of data, and without user intervention. Note that other exceptional
conditions in addition to variances in the AC power, such as improper cabling or unrecognized
commands, may also trigger these normal error recovery procedures.

Canadian Standards
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du
Canada.
