Configure Fibre Channel Devices |
In the Solaris 10 OS, FCAL, fabric, and point-to-point connected devices are made available to the host. This feature differs from previous versions of the Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software running on the Solaris 8 or 9 OS. In those versions, manual configuration steps were required to achieve fabric-connected device availability on the Solaris host. | |

Set up FC Boot Device |
The Sun StorageTek Traffic Manager software enables a Solaris server to boot from a fabric device. | |
|
Configure IPFC SAN devices |
You can configure host recognition of IPFC devices and implementation of IP over FC in a SAN. Configuration of IPFC depends on the instance of the Fabric Port (FP) driver for the FC adapter ports. | |
