Supported System Configurations |
This chapter describes the operating systems, host platforms, storage, and infrastructure configurations that support the Sun StorageTek Enterprise PCI-X 4 Gb FC Single and Dual Port Emulex HBAs (henceforth referred to as single and dual port HBAs). It contains the following topics:
This section provides information about platform, storage, and switch compatibility permitting a heterogeneous Fibre Channel network design with the single and dual port HBAs. This section contains the following topics:
The single and dual port HBAs are supported by the platforms and operating systems listed in TABLE 2-1.
The single and dual port HBAs support the storage systems are listed below.
3510 and 3511 FC arrays
The single and dual port HBAs support the Fibre Channel switches listed below.
This section contains information about using the single and dual port HBAs with the Solaris OS.
| Note - Refer to your host platform documentation to determine minimum Solaris version required for your HBA installation. |
This section contains information about using the single and dual port HBAs in Red Hat Enterprise Linux and SuSE Linux Enterprise operating systems.
The Linux drivers and HBA diagnostic and management utilities supporting the single and dual port HBAs with the Linux OS are available for download at the Sun designated page:
http://www.emulex.com/ts/docoem/framsun/10k.htm
Drivers that support the Linux 2.4 and 2.6 kernels are provided. The Linux 2.4 kernel is used in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3 and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 8. The Linux 2.6 kernel is used in RHEL 4 and SLES 9.
| Note - Refer to your host platform documentation and the Emulex web site to determine minimum RHEL and SLES version required for your HBA installation. |
This section contains information about using the single and dual port HBAs in Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
| Note - Refer to your host platform documentation and the Emulex web site to determine minimum Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 versions required. |
The following HBA issues exist at this time.
Workaround: None; booting from a Sun StorEdge 3500 family array is not supported at this time.
Workaround: None at this time. A fix is targeted for the Sun StorEdge SAN Foundation Software release 4.4.10 for Sun Solaris OS 8 and 9 SPARC, patches 120222-10 (S10_SPARC), and 120223-10 (S10_x86).
Workaround: None at this time. A fix is being investigated.
Workaround: None at this time. A fix is currently under investigation.
Workaround: None at this time. A fix is being investigated.
Workaround: Perform another probe-scsi-all after a reset. The second try will yield correct results.
A fix will be made available in the next FCode release after version 1.50a8.
Workaround: None at this time. A fix is currently under investigation.
Disable the single or dual port HBA BIOS (default setting) and boot from the system disk, or other supported boot device.
