Configuring QLogic FCAs with the qla2300 driver

NOTE:
The qla2300 driver cannot be used with Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager/Oracle
Storage Multipathing. To configure a QLogic FCA using the Oracle SAN driver stack, see
Configuring FCAs with the Oracle SAN driver
Contact your HP representative to determine which QLogic FCAs and driver version HP supports
with the qla2300 driver. The qla2300 driver is not supported on x86 architecture. Configure
QLogic FCAs with the qla2300 driver as follows:
Ensure you have the latest supported version of the qla2300 driver (available from
www.qlogic.com).
Edit the /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf driver configuration file to set up the FCA for a SAN
infrastructure:
hba0-connection-options=1;
hba0-link-down-timeout=30;
hba0-persistent-binding-configuration=1;
Persistent bindings are necessary in a fabric topology and are used to bind a SCSI target ID
to a particular WWPN (of an array port). This is required to guarantee that the SCSI target
IDs will remain the same when the system is rebooted. Persistent bindings can be set by editing
the configuration file or by using the SANsurfer utility. The following example illustrates the
binding of target 20 (hba instance 0) to WWPN 50060e8003285301 and the binding of
target 30 (hba instance 1) to WWPN 50060e800328531 1:
hba0-SCSI-target-id-20-fibre-channel-port-name="50060e8003285301";
hba1-SCSI-target-id-30-fibre-channel-port-name="50060e8003285311";
(Replace the WWPNs in the previous example with the WWPNs for your array ports.)
With qla2300 v4.20, 5.02, or later:
Verify that the following entry is present in /kernel/drv/sd.conf:
name="sd" parent="qla2300" target=0;
Perform a reconfiguration reboot to implement the changes to the configuration files.
Use the /opt/QLogic_Corporation/drvutil/qla2300/qlreconfig
-s command to perform LUN rediscovery after configuring LUNs as explained in
the paths" (page

Verifying the FCA configuration

After installing the FCAs, verify recognition of the FCAs and drivers as follows:
1.
Log into the system as root. Verify that all devices are powered on and properly connected
to the system.
2.
Use the prtdiag command (SPARC only) to verify that the FCA is installed properly. Use the
prtconf command and/or browse the /var/adm/messages file to check whether the FCA
driver has attached. Look for the WWN/WWPN of the FCA in the /var/adm/messages
file or use an FCA-specific tool or command.
