All,
I am trying to install a Qlogic HBA (QLA2340) into an E450 which already has
4*SCSI cards installed. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers
from Qlogic, but they refuse to bind to the card, thus rendering it useless.
The Sun Driver (for the QLC2200) seemed to find and attempt to bind to the
new card, but being the incorrect driver, it didn't work properly. Has
anyone else seen such an issue? I have tried different PCI slots, different
cards, basically stripped the machine back to nothing and I still cannot get
them to work. I am wondering if I need to upgrade the OBP in the server,
but not sure what the minimum I would need is to support such a HBA. The
server is running Solaris 9 (although in it's previous life it was running
Solaris 7 and had the exact same issue), with a slightly older (to stay
inline with our other servers running Sol9) patch set (i.e. somewhere around
Feb/March this year).
FWIW I have also installed the Sun SAN_4.4.6_install_it package.. I have a
Sunfire 480 with identical HBA and Solaris installation which has no issues
using this card..
Any help appreciated, I am just about sick of it now!
