Configuring FCAs with the Sun SAN driver stack
Sun branded FCAs are only supported with the Sun SAN driver stack. The Sun SAN driver stack also
supports current Emulex and Qlogic FCAs.
NOTE:
Ensure host group mode 7 is set for the XP array or SVS 200 ports where the host is connected to
enable automatic LUN recognition using this driver.
To configure the FCA:
Check with your HP representative to determine which non-Sun branded FCAs are supported by
HP with the Sun SAN driver Stack, and if a specific System Mode or Host Group Mode setting is
required for Sun and non-Sun branded FCAs.
For Solaris 8/9, install the latest Sun StorEdge SAN software available from
with associated patches. Use the Sun supplied install_it script that is provided with the software
to automate installation.
For Solaris 10, use the Sun update manager to install the latest patches.
To use Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Sun Storage Multipathing, edit the driver configur-
ation file /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf to add the Vendor ID and Product ID to the "device-
type-scsi-options-list" parameter. Refer to the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager Software Installation
and Configuration Guide or Solaris Fibre Channel and Storage Multipathing Administration Guide,
and HP StorageWorks MPxIO for Sun Solaris Application Notes, for further details.
For Solaris 8/9 change to "no" as shown:
mpxio-disable="no";
For all Solaris releases, add the following lines:
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"HP
