NAME

socal- Serial Optical Controller for Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (SOC+) device driver

SYNOPSIS

socal@sbus-slot,0

DESCRIPTION

The Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter is an SBus card which implements two full duplex Fibre Channel interfaces. Each Fibre Channel interface can connect to a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL).

The socal device driver is a nexus driver and implements portions of the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of FC-AL.

DIAGNOSTICS

The messages described below are some that may appear on system console, as well as being logged.

On the console these messages are preceded by

socal%d: port %a

where %d is the instance number of the socal controller and %a is the port on the host adapter.

Fibre Channel Loop is ONLINE: The Fibre Channel loop is now online.
Fibre Channel Loop is OFFLINE: The Fibre Channel loop is now offline.
attach failed: device in slave-only slot.: Move soc+ card to another slot.
attach failed: bad soft state.: Driver did not attach, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to alloc xport struct.: Driver did not attach, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to map eeprom: Driver was unable to map device memory; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to map XRAM: Driver was unable to map device memory; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to map registers: Driver was unable to map device registers; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to access status register: Driver was unable to map device registers; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to install interrupt handler: Driver was not able to add the interrupt routine to the kernel. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to access host adapter XRAM: Driver was unable to access device RAM; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: unable to write host adapter XRAM: Driver was unable to write device RAM; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
attach failed: read/write mismatch in XRAM: Driver was unable to verify device RAM; check for bad hardware. Driver did not attach to device, devices will be inaccessible.
