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 may appear on system console in addition to 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.
