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 con-
figuration 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 50060e8003285311:
hba0-SCSI-target-id-20-fibre-channel-port-name="50060e8003285301";
hba1-SCSI-target-id-30-fibre-channel-port-name="50060e8003285311";
(Replace the WWPNs above with the WWPNs for your array ports.)
With qla2300 v4.13.01 and earlier (legacy support on XP10000/XP12000):
If LUNs have been preconfigured in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file, use the devfsadm command
to perform LUN rediscovery after configuring LUNs as explained in
paths" on page 10.
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 –d qla2300 -s
command to perform LUN rediscovery after configuring LUNs as explained in
paths" on page 10.

Configuring AMCC/JNI FCAs (legacy support XP12000 only)

Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) merged with Jaycor Networks Incorporated (JNI) and
discontinued their FCA hardware and software products. HP recommends to migrate to different FCAs.
Support is limited to legacy environments with Solaris 8 and 9 only.
Configure 2 Gbit FCAs differently as explained below. For 1 Gbit FCAs, see the HP StorageWorks
XP12000 Disk Array Configuration Guide for Sun Solaris. AMCC/JNI legacy drivers are available
from AMCC/JNI at http://www.jni.com. The JNI EZFibre FCA configuration utility does not allow
dynamic LUN addition. Instead edit the configuration files manually as explained below, and use
EZFibre for view-only purposes. If you do not plan to use dynamic LUN addition, you may use EZFibre
to configure the FCA.
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
as shown in the examples that follow. Make sure the target in the driver configuration file and in the
kernel file (/kernel/drv/sd.conf) match. Replace the WWNs shown in the examples with the
correct WWNs for your array ports. You can view port WWNs using XP Command View or XP Array
Manager.
