jfca

- JNI Fibre Channel Adapter (FCA) Driver

Synopsis

SUNW,jfca@pci-slot

Description

The jfca host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre Channel transport layer-compliant nexus driver for the JNI FCX-6562-L and FCX2-6562-L adapters. These adapters support Fibre Channel SCSI and IP Protocols, FC-AL public loop profile, point-to-point, and fabric connection and Fibre Channel service classes two and three.

The jfca driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport layer to support the standard functions provided by the SCSA interface. It supports auto request sense and tagged queueing by default. The driver requires that all devices have unique hard addresses in private loop configurations.
