Q: How I get going with mounting a SAN partition using Sun Fiber card on
Solaris 8 running on a 280R?
I need to be able to create and mount a newly created SAN partition on
an existing IBM FAST600 FC SAN system.
We have an SG-XPCI2FC-QF2 2Gb PCI Dual FC Network Adapter, as
recommended by our suppliers for the purpose. My brain keeps telling me
we need the HBA version, but both Sun and our suppliers say this is correct.
Now, documentation is minimal to non existent. The manual for the card
covers installation and playing around with boot net. I started to think
I needed a HBA as I'd suspected in the first place, but looking at that
manual it's equally useless. Sun confirm the part should connect to the
SAN and allow me to mount partitions.
Could someone point me at documentation which covers actually
configuring the card, any software installation, and using a SAN
partition under Solaris?
So far I have got this far, working from the Sun StorEdge 2G FC PCI
Double Channel Network Adapter Network Installation Guide (816-5001-10):

/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0
/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4/fp@0,0/disk
/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@2,1
/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@2
To me that looks like two cards - one being the on board controller on
the 280R and one being the add in card I'm trying to configure.
I've tried Qlogic's drivers but they don't detect the card:

Anyone got notes on this sort of thing?
Any pointers welcome, I'm working utterly blind on this.
