Hi Johan,

The Emulex looks fine, the Qlogic is not good:

root at claw:~# prtconf -D | grep pci1077
            pci1077,249
            pci1077,249
root at claw:~# prtconf -D | grep pci10df
            pci10df,e333 (driver name: emlxs)
root at claw:~#

Happily, we only need one of Qlogic or Emulex to work. Both are not needed.

Unfortunately, though the driver (emlxs) appears above, no adapters are found by fcinfo or luxadm:

root at claw:~# fcinfo hba-port
No Adapters Found.
root at claw:~# luxadm -e port
Cannot operate in the locale requested. Continuing in the default C locale

ERROR: No Fibre Channel Adapters found.
root at claw:~#

Thank you for any advice,
Phil

Ärende: [OmniOS-discuss] Recommend any FC Gen 5 or Gen 6 HBAs?

Hello everyone,

I have a new project, so everything mentioned here is with clean OS installs. Not production.

Can anyone recommend a Gen 5 or Gen 6 (preferred) 16GB Fibre Channel HBA known to work in r151022 or later?

I have tried, without success, to get the following Fibre Channel Cards to work in a clean r151026 install on SuperMicro System  SYS-2029P-C1R

Emulex Corporation Lancer Gen6: LPe32000 Fibre Channel Host Adapter QLogic Corp. ISP8324-based 16Gb Fibre Channel to PCI Express Adapter

The system sees the hardware:

root at claw:~# prtdiag
System Configuration: Supermicro SYS-2029P-C1R BIOS Configuration: American Megatrends Inc. 2.1 06/29/2018 BMC Configuration: IPMI 2.0 (KCS: Keyboard Controller Style)

Thanks for any comments,

I was writing to you before about this, and I suggested you to check the driver:

root at omni:~# prtconf -D | grep pci1077
            pci1077,138, instance #0 (driver name: qlc)
            pci1077,138, instance #1 (driver name: qlc) root at omni:~# 

If your pci addr still is pci1077? Which it was according to your previous mail in this issue. 

Did you check that? If so, what was the output?

If it shows up empty, no driver is attached, and I'm sure no driver is available in omnios.

I can't tell about the other Illumos distros, perhaps you check with Nexenta, they should at least know if there is an Illumos driver or not...

Rgrds Johan

I haven't worked much with Emulex, I always thought they were complicated, and people have reported problems with their driver.

Anyway, what I know there should(was) be a driver file in: /kernel/drv/emlxs.conf. Check it out, it might give something....

Rgrds JK
