Sun StorageTek PCI Express Enterprise 4 Gb FC Host Bus Adapters Emulex Release Notes |
This document contains the latest supplementary information for the Sun StorageTek
PCI Express Enterprise 4 Gb Fibre Channel (FC) Single and Dual Port Host Bus Adapter (HBA) (SG-XPCIE1FC-EM4, SG-XPCIE2FC-EM4). Use it with the latest version of the Sun StorageTek PCI Express Enterprise 4 Gb FC Host Bus Adapters Emulex Installation Guide (part number 819-4810-10 or later).
It contains the following sections:
This HBA consists of a single-slot PCI Express bus expansion board that connects a 4-lane PCI Express bus to either one or two optical ports. For dual port adapters, the two channels operate independently; each supports a separate FC bus operating at 4 Gbits/sec. Each channel is also backward-compatible with 2.125 Gbits/sec and 1.0625 Gbits/sec FC ports.
Small-Form Factor (SFF) LC-duplex connectors are used to connect to the external FC ports. The FC bus operates in short-wave, multi-mode. One Emulex Zephyr ASIC is used to support the one or two independent FC ports.
You can use the Sun StorageTek PCI Express Enterprise 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port HBA with the following operating systems (OSs):
To use the adapter with this OS, you must use the Sun driver as described in Solaris 10 Operating Systems.
To use the adapter with these OSs, you must use the Emulex driver as described in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Systems
To use the adapter with this OS, you must use the Emulex driver as described in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 Systems.
This section contains the following information about using the Sun StorageTek PCI Express 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port HBA with the Solaris OS:
The following hardware and software are qualified with the Solaris 10 OS.
For required packages and patches, consult the Installation Guide 819-4810-xx
3510 and 3511 FC Arrays
6020, 6120, and 6320 Arrays
6130 Array
FC switch support is shown in TABLE 1.
The following issues and bugs have not been resolved in this release.
The following issue has been identified in this release and will be fixed in the next Solaris 10 Update release:
The following bugs are under investigation at the time of the release:
Description: OBP> probe-scsi-all gives the unexpected output to the unmapped channel of SE3511 (m31).
This channel 0 of SE3511 is connnected directly (DAS) to a port of Summit-E HBA (FCode 5.01a9) without switch and no LUN is mapped to this channel 0 yet.
Workaround: Send the probe-scsi-all command a second time (without an intervening reset). A valid list of attached devices will be displayed.
The Linux drivers and HBA diagnostic and management utilities supporting the Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI Express 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port HBAs with the Linux OS are available for download at the Sun designated page at:
