NOTE:
There must be exactly 6 spaces between HP and OPEN.
Instead of using the default round-robin algorithm, add the following lines in addition to the previous
lines for systems with a large amount of sequential I/O activity:
device-type-mpxio-options-list=
"device-type=HP
logical-block-options="load-balance=logical-block", "region-size=18";
NOTE:
There must be exactly 6 spaces between HP and OPEN.

For Solaris 8/9, perform a reconfiguration reboot of the host to implement changes to the config-
uration file. For Solaris 10, use the stmsboot command which will perform the modifications
and then initiate a reboot.
For Solaris 8/9, after you have rebooted and the LDEV has been defined as a LUN to the host,
use the cfgadm command to configure the controller instances for SAN connectivity. The controller
instance (c#) may differ between systems. Replace the WWPN in the example below with the
WWPNs for your array ports.
Example
# cfgadm -al
Ap_Id
Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c3 fc-fabric connected configured unknown
c3::50060e8003285301 disk connected configured unknown
c4 fc-fabric connected configured unknown
c4::50060e8003285311 disk connected configured unknown
# cfgadm -c configure c3::50060e8003285301
# cfgadm -c configure c4::50060e8003285311

Configuring Emulex FCAs with the lpfc driver

NOTE:
The lpfc driver cannot be used with Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager/Sun Storage Multipathing. Emulex
does not support using both the lpfc driver and the emlxs driver (provided with the Sun SAN driver
stack) concurrently. To use the emlxs driver, refer to
stack" on page 17.
To determine which Emulex FCAs and driver version HP supports with the lpfc driver, contact your
HP representative. The lpfc driver is not supported on x86 architecture. Configure Emulex FCAs with
the lpfc driver as follows:
