ORIGINAL QUESTION
=================
I'll summarize the original question for brevity. Basically I wanted to
know how to determine if the operating system (Tru64 5.1A PK6) was
'seeing' a newly installed KGPSA-CX card in an alphaserver 800.
SUMMARY
=======
1 - Since the card was not actually connected to anything (in our case a
3PAR SAN) the message that the connection was DOWN was appropriate.
2 - Since it's not a scsi device it won't show up in "hwmgr -show scsi"
nor "scu show edt". Issuing a "hwmgr -view hier" however does show the
card correctly:
$$$==> hwmgr -view hier
HWID: hardware hierarchy
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
1: platform AlphaServer 800 5/500
2: cpu CPU0
6: bus pci0
...
...
...
60: connection pci0slot14
62: fibrechannel_adapter emx0
63: scsi_bus scsi3
That along with my two other previously issued commands:
$$$==> emxmgr -t emx0
emx0 state information:
Link : connection is DOWN
Link is SCSI bus 3 (e.g. scsi3)
SCSI target id -1
portname is 1000-0000-C923-BA1E
nodename is 2000-0000-C923-BA1E
There are no connected N_Ports in the topology
from /var/adm/messages:
emx0 at pci0 slot 14
KGPSA-CA : Driver Rev 2.11 : F/W
Rev
_3.91A1(2.20A0) : wwn
_1000-0000-c923-ba1e
emx0: Using console topology
setting
_of : Fabric
emx0: emx_linkup_timedout: link

_timeout has expired
Gave me a very high level of confidence that this is working properly.
Many responses all saying the same thing. Thanks to all that replied
(Dr. Tom Blinn, Rob Leadbeater, Walter North, Thomas Sjolshagen, Frank
Lennon, Tom Smith, John Lanier, Alan Davis, Johan Brusche)!

All that's left is to determine which topology to use (loop or fabric).
We're not using a switch for our SAN (which would imply that we're NOT
fabric) but we have to speak with the vendor to be sure.
