How to configure JNI FCI-1063 for E450+Brocade+Clariion CX600

 Warren,

Verify you have the bindings enabled on the HBA. Also check in Navisphere
that the
E450 is visible. If not discover it and create a storage group. Check the
JNI
configuration is the same as your working HBAs in EZFibre.

If that does not work I have a few questions for you. Let me know.

Regards,
Marlon

Hello:

I have a JNI FCI-1063 on a Sun E450. HBA connects to a Brocade 3800. An EMC
Clariion CX600 is part of the fabric.

Download and installed fca-pci.org on the E450. Packages installed are
IS8e8546a EZ Fibre, JNIfcaPCI (v2.6.13), and JNIsnia (v2.0.b). Make changes
on two files: on /kernel/drv/fca-pci.conf, changed fca_nport to 1; (2) in
/kernel/drv/sd.conf, added entries:
Name=cd parent lpfc target=0 lun=0
Name=cd parent lpfc target=0 lun=1
Name=cd parent lpfc target=1 lun=0
Name=cd parent lpfc target=1 lun=1

On Brocade switch, command nsshow displays this port as:
N 021f00; 2,3;20:00:00:E0:69:C0:4A:55:10:00:00:E0:69:C0:4A:55; na
FC4s: FCIPI created a zone, which consists of the E450 and two Clariion
CX600 ports. On Clariion Connectivity Status window, the E450 does not
show up. I manually registered it, however, its Fibre Logged In status
remains as No. Of course, on E450, it does not show any Clariions disks.

On Brocade, all other hosts/devices show as FCP, only this JNI shows as
FCIP.

Thanks in advance and have a good weekend.
Warren

Thanks to those who responded. No one had any suggestions on useing the NIC.
Most suggested getting one that is supported. Guess I'll have to beg the man
for a newer one.

Original question:
> Anyone used a 3Com 3CCFE574BE NIC (a kind of old one) on Solaris 10?

Hello,
I am getting the following error when running a Java application from
directory that is mounted using Veritas. The application runs fine as root,
but as a non root user i get the following error.

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.Error: Properties init: Could not determine current working
directory.

This error leads us to believe that the permissions on the directory that
the volume is mounted on is say 700. Is there way a to tell the permissions
of the directory that the volume is mounted on without having to unmount the
volume.

Thanks for the many replies. All were thought provoking but ones that
helped most were from:

Darryl Marsee
Tom Payerle
Darren Dunham

Silly me, I didn't notice the global FcPortCfgEnable directive in jnic.conf
was set to false, therefore it wouldn't change the HBA config to fabric.

Many thanks.

Any idea what's going on? Same cards, using the same driver, into the

 &nbsot do a good
job of describing the problem.

I will note that these are all headed boxes; when I say "frozen hard" I
meant exactly that - completely dead to <stop>-A or anything othere than
turning off the power. I went as far as booting one from the network and
left it running a shell script looping in memory with no disk I/O at all
after suspecting a disk problem and it they still locked up.

Thanks to Ray Brownrigg, Francisco, JV, Adam Tomkinson and Tim Longo for
suggestions. Thanks to everyone else who told me they were on vacation.
(*Sigh*)

Suggestions were:

- Power Management
         (unlikely - happens without power management enabled)
- Environmental concerns
         (power/heat - not an issue in this case)
- Bad installation
         (all look good; actually built with the same jumpstart as
          a couple of hundred other boxes, but checked logs anyway)
- 3rd party software
         (happened without any 3PS installed)
- Set up a deadman kernel
         (google for "deadman solaris kernel" if you want to know more)
- Possible hardware, especially memory
         (try running SUNvts, moving memory around, dodgy extra PCI cards)

Most of these are actually discounted in my case because the box would go
awry with a minimal kernel and no apps to speak of, but good things to watch
for as a matter of course. The kernel I might yet do; there are no extra
bits of hardware in these machines, but I happen to know all of these
machines have third party memory in, so I asked the hardware guy who has
these things sitting on his desk to try swapping memory around. I have yet
to hear any results from that...

Still, I thought I'd summarize what I heard in case folks are looking for
suggestions.

Tim

Hi All,
I have configured the Demo Solstice CMIP 9.0 on Sparc mahcine. I tried to
run the example program provided by the Solstice CMIP package with TCP/IP as
transport layer(RFC 1006 package) and it works fine.
With the help of cmiptool provided by Solstice CMIP Package, I am able to
modify the Various Selector values provided by the CMIP Stack i.e PSEL ,
SSEL , TSEL.
But there are some constraints/limitation for modification of TSEL and SSEL
parameters as mentioned in CMIPADMIN guide i.e
a) SSEL Cannot be more than 4 ASCII character
b) TSEL Cannot be configured as empty <null>.
But I have a requirement where I need to configure the TSEL as <null> and
SSEL as 6 ASCII Character ( or 12 digit hexadecimal ).
Moreover Whenever I try to modify the TSEL or SSEL i.e different from the
default value , the program does not work and fails in mp_bind() call.
The error message is :
Default value : TSEL = CMIP , SSEL = Prs
########################
Performing mp_bind()
 Communication-Error: Communication Problem.
handle_mp_error
########################
I am not sure whether its possible to modify the TSEL and SSEL parameter in
Solstice CMIP Package. If yes , then how can I solve this issue of modifying
the values i.e 6 ASCII character for SSEL and <null> for TSEL.
Regards
Nipun Sharma

Dear,
If the superblock is corrupted the file system still can be repaired using
alternate superblock which are formed while making new file system .
the first alternate superblock number is 32 and others superblock numbers
can be found using the following command :
newfs -N <RAW_Device>
for example to run fsck using first alternate superblock following command
is used
fsck -F File_System -o b=32 <Raw_Device>

Negm
