Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[Alex Deucher]

Can someone point me to some documentation on setting up a fibre
channel HBA in linux?  I can't seem to find any useful information.  I
have a Sun 220R running 2.6.12-rc3 with an emulex LP9000 HBA connected
to a Nexsan ATABEAST SAN.  I'm using the HBA driver included with the
2.6.12rc3 kernel.  I cannot find any information about the GPLed
emulex driver as far as configuration goes.  The driver seems to come
up ok, but then I get a series of error codes:

Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel SCSI driver 8.0.28

I noticed here:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=111383889908554&w=2
that there is a new FC API. Was this merged into rc3 or will this
happen after 2.6.12?  If it's not supported yet in rc3, how does one
go about configuring it?  I'm willing to test any available tools.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  I'll be able to test on SPARC64
right now and on AMD64 in the next few days.

Thanks,

Alex

This was the 2.01g source tree.  I have a mix of LP7000E's and 6000's
from an IBM ESS 2105 Shark, of which I am trying to do IP over
FC with the 7000's.  The Sharks were decommissioned and I acquired them at
a military surplus auction.  I have yanked the HBA's from the series of
pci bridges that IBM had them encased in, so now they rest on the main
pci bus.  So I'm not sure what the normal support
channels would be, as I got all of the kit used and IBM won't support my
port for some reason.  I decided that linux
would be better on the shark than AIX, so now I'm to the point of trying
to get the IP over FC working.  I get a device not found error on the lpfn
with Suse's 2.6 for ppc64... the config file is identical to the x86
implementation below.  I couldn't get them to compile with 2.6.8.

I've tried this on x86 also, and though your code compiles cleanly against
my openmosix and hostap patched 2.4.20, when the lpfn modules loads, the
ksoftirqd_CPU0 taxes the processor to 100%.  Rmmod the IP over FC, and bye
bye load.  This is with no actual fiber connected to the hba.

I've got the SerialRAID cards from the shark sitting loose here if any
other LKMLers would like to take a crack at them.  IBM told me "No Code.
No Binary.  Run AIX or nothing."

Thanks,
Scott

RE: Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[James.Smart]

IP over FC was removed from our 8.x series driver as we pushed for
upstream acceptance. So, you must be running a older driver. Please
go through the proper support channels for that driver rev.

IP over FC would be re-added as part of making a common interface for
all FC drivers (see Andrew Vasquez's previous email on the topic).

RE: Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[James.Smart]

Alex,

We are looking into it further.  Linux on Sparc has not been a platform that we have supported in the past, although we know of no issue why it would not be.

[Alex Deucher]

FWIW, this seems to be a sparc64 issue.  after upgrading the firmware
and testing in a x86 box, all is well, at least on x86.  I'll test on
AMD64 next week.

James,

    I just upgraded to the latest firmware on the Emulex website

I've seeb quite a bit of these old firmware problems, maybe lpfc should
have a table of minimum required firmware versions for each HBA type?

RE: Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection

[James.Smart]

Based on the "Unknown IOCB command data" message, this appears to be out of date firmware on the adapter. See http://www.emulex.com/ts/indexemu.html.  There are some hints on downloading firmware at the tail end of  http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1130082&forum_id=355154. 

Note: lpfc issues are best posted to the help areas on http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx/

Thanks.
