2.
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. For more information on how to use
SPOCK, see the Getting Started Guide (http://www.qlogic.com).
3.
Edit the following parameters in the /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf driver configuration file
to set up the FCAs for a SAN infrastructure (HBA0 is used in the example, but the parameter
edits apply to all HBAs):
NOTE:
If you are using a Sun-branded QLogic FCA, the configuration file is
\kernal\drv\qlc.conf.
hba0-connection-options=1;
hba0-link-down-timeout=60;
hba0-persistent-binding-configuration=1;
NOTE:
If you are using Solaris 10, editing the persistent binding parameter is not required.
4.
If using a single FCA and no multipathing, edit the following parameters to reduce the risk of
data loss in case of a controller reboot:
hba0-login-retry-count=60;
hba0-port-down-retry-count=60;
hba0-port-down-retry-delay=2;
The hba0-port-down-retry-delay parameter is not supported with the 4.13.01 driver;
the time between retries is fixed at approximately 2 seconds.
5.
In a fabric topology, use persistent bindings to bind a SCSI target ID to the world wide port
name (WWPN) of an array port. This ensures that the SCSI target IDs remain the same when
the system reboots. Set persistent bindings by editing the configuration file or by using the
SANsurfer utility.
NOTE:
Persistent binding is not required for QLogic FCAs if you are using Solaris 10.
The following example for an EVA6400/8400 illustrates the binding of targets 20 and 21
(hba instance 0) to WWPNs 50001fe100270938 and 50001fe100270939, and the binding
of targets 30 and 31 (hba instance 1) to WWPNs 50001fe10027093a and
50001fe10027093b:
hba0-SCSI-target-id-20-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe100270938";
hba0-SCSI-target-id-21-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe10027093a";
hba1-SCSI-target-id-30-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe100270939";
hba1-SCSI-target-id-31-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe10027093b";
NOTE:
Replace the WWPNs in the example with the WWPNs of your array ports.
6.
If the qla2300 driver is version 4.13.01 or earlier, for each LUN that users will access add
an entry to the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file:
name="sd" class="scsi" target=20 lun=1;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=21 lun=1;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=30 lun=1;
name="sd" class="scsi" target=31 lun=1;
If LUNs are preconfigured in the/kernel/drv/sd.conf file, after changing the configuration
file. use the devfsadm command to perform LUN rediscovery.
7.
If the qla2300 driver is version 4.15 or later, verify that the following or a similar entry is
present in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file:
name="sd" parent="qla2300" target=2048;
