thanks to Torsten and aams for there feedback.
My question was
HI Guys
I was running a test environment in order to formulate a procedure to
carry out ' migration of san disks from lpfc to sfs drivers on solaris 9'
I am using a LP 9802 hba
On a fresh installation of solaris 9 (09/04) i installed lpfc drivers and
then configured SAN disks. I then did a pkgrm on lpfc and added san
foundation suite ( SFS drivers)
I am not able to see the hba now with luxadm -e port command
I could see two instances of emulex cards in /etc/path_to_inst
"/pci@1e,600000/fibre-channel@2" 0 "lpfc"
"/pci@1e,600000/fibre-channel@3" 1 "lpfc"
I removed them and did a reconfiguration boot but still not luck.
I have installed emladm utility, but its not detecting the cards.
If i use emlxdrv > set_emlxs_all
i get following
ERROR: emlxs driver is not installed.
I have tried to look for emlxs and concluded its only available for
solaris 10.
The following is the procedure to be followed:
-upgrade the firmware on lpfc card to latest
- remove HBAnyware (may be installed)
- remove lpfc drivers
- add SFS packages and patches ( download from sun.com
'SAN_4.4.13_install_it.tar' which has package and patches)
- install EMLXemlxu (emladm utility) and switch drivers ( this may be
required , however i did not used it)
Note: in my particular case i was first not seeing the card thru luxadm -e
port command. the reason for this was that i was missing SUNWemlx
packages.
Using the SFS from sun.com resolved this issue
thanks
