SPARC: luxadm -e Port Truncates Device Path (5028518)

The -e option in the luxadm utility provided by SAN Kit 4.4.11 in Solaris 5.9 truncates the port output on the newer hardware platforms, Seattle (V215 and V245), Boston (V445), and Chicago (U45). The utility truncates the FC physical path to 65 characters. However, in the above platforms, the physical device strings exceed 65 characters in length. The truncation causes failure on all fc hba's running with third party applications such as NBU, EBS, and VXSF.

The 113043–13 patch fixes the problem and must be installed by all users of these platforms. The patch consists of a new SUNWluxop package that must be installed after SAN Kit 4.4.11 is installed. The binaries listed under this patch (see the SPARC Patch List in Appendix A) will replace the existing binaries in the SUNWluxop package of SAN Kit 4.4.11 for Solaris 5.9.

The following error message is displayed:

luxadm -e port is truncated to 65 characters.

Workaround:

1. Install the Solaris 9 9/05 HW release.

2. Install SAN Kit 4.4.11.

3. Install Patch 113043–13.
