Hello All,

I'm trying to get some Emulex LP9002L-E HBAs working on some V440s
running Solaris 10u4. I've got everything patched up, and I'm using
the latest drivers from the Emulex site. I installed the driver
package first:

1 lpfc.1 Emulex LightPulse FC SCSI/IP Host Bus Adapter
driver
(sparc) Release 6.20j

reboot, then install the apps package:

1 HBAnyware Emulex HBAnyware FC Host Bus Adapter Remote
Manager
(sun4u) 3.3a22

At reboot, I get:

This shows that the driver seems to be attaching. prtdiag shows my
adapters in the 66mhz PCI slots. I run devfsadm just to be sure, but
I still have no /dev/lpfc . /usr/sbin/lpfc/lputil can't find my
interfaces, and on a test machine with all packages installed where I
can run hbanywhere java stuff, it can't find any HBAs either. cfgadm
shows:

Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant
Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
c1 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c2 fc-fabric connected unconfigured
unknown
c3 fc-fabric connected unconfigured

c4 scsi-bus connected unconfigured
unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured
ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured
ok
usb1/1 unknown empty unconfigured
ok
usb1/2 unknown empty unconfigured
ok

I don't know if that's a problem. I try a "cfgadm -c unconfigure c2"
and then c3, and do a update_drv -f lpfc and I get:

lpfc.conf updated in the kernel.
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: lpfc
exit status = 1
Warning: Driver (lpfc) successfully added to system but failed to
attach

Am I trying the wrong things? A truss on lputil64 reveals that it's
trying to open /dev/lpfc to get to the devices, but it's not there so
it just helpfully tells me that there's 0 in the system.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Marcus Reid

Here are notes from a recent effort to do the same. Not sure if
they'll
all make sense, but perhaps they'll help:
Beginning with Solaris 10 update 1, there is a driver called emlxs
that
comes with Solaris and claims the HBAs, preventing the lpfc driver
from seeing the HBAs. To allow lpfc to see the HBAs:

Install package emlxu_kit_1.00n-sparc.tar
Run /opt/EMLXemlxu/bin/emlxdrv
A list of fiber cards shows up with driver info and possible commnads
It also gives the emlxdrv prompt: emlxdrv>
Run the following command at the prompt:
emlxdrv> set_lpfc f900

"set_lpfc" sets the driver and "f900" is the alias for the LP9002.
Reboot and the HBA card shows up in both the HBAnywhere
gui and the /usr/sbin/lpfc/lputil command line utility.
.
