***** Important Note ******

(1) BIOS downloading

This version of BIOS image has increased size from 44K to 48K. As a result, it might
fail during the downloading of the BIOS .prg file. One way to correct the problem
is to download the firmware .AWC file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: dd390a7.awc). Then, download the BIOS .prg file.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)

If the adapter BIOS is not activated (enabled) by LP6dutil or other O.S. utility,
this adapter would not be configured. Also, there is "No BIOS support" message next
to this adapter in BIOS Utility. User must use LP6dutil or other O.S. Utility to
activate (enable) the BIOS in order to make this card bootable.

LP6DUTIL.DOC LP6DUTIL diagnostic utility document
SAMPLESCRIPT.TXT An example script for LP6DUTIL 9.3a6
Changes and Corrections:

-- Changes and corrections between 1.92a1 and 1.91a5:

Implemeted beaconing feature for Pegasus and Thor. (CR 16592, 21846)

The R_A_TOV field is now properly expressed in milliseconds. (CR 22640)

Improved target mode "fast" POST so that power up no longer causes HBA
to hang. (CR 22594)

A timeout is prevented by allowing the firmware to process fatal DMA
engine errors even if the DMA is not complete, such as during a PCI
master abort. (CR 22641)

Various concurrent FLASH programming issues were resolved by improving
the FLASH interlocking/unlocking algorithm, implementing Intel errata,
and implementing erase failure recovery code.
(CR 21885, 21888, 21889, 21890)

We now default to allowing the PCI bridge to reorder data frames as
necessary, which may result in a system performance increase for some
systems. (CR 21867)

Improved FCP2 recovery to avoid the dropping of frames
(and the resulting delays) during REC ELS command. (CR 21865)

Fixed a recovery issue where a corrupted REC frame with a mismatching
offset would cause the HBA to loop, continually requesting recovery.
(CR 21864)

To avoid dropped receive frames in the case where an OXID is reused
for a new exchange during the ABTS/RRQ processing window, we now skip
any matching "new" exchanges which are in the RRQ state. (CR 21855)

Improved management of unavailable memory by limiting the number of
retries. The HBA now reports an error attention after retries have
been exhausted. (CR 21854)

Improved DMA error handling of split errors where host memory has been
made unavailable. (CR 21853)

Commands are now timed out properly when in FCP-2 mode. (CR 21852)

Protocol testing with invalid conditions revealed protocol response
errors which have had no reported instances of failure in the field.
(CR 21850, 21851, 21863)

An I/O timeout during tape operation was eliminated by delaying
processing of any FCP2 errors during discovery. (CR 17363)

Thor no longer deadlocks during processing of RRQ when RESET_RING is
issued with no available exchange resources. (CR 20064)

Improved operation of Pegasus Rx DMA firmware on PCI-X bus.
(CR 21542)

Observations

IBM Branded LP11000-M4 HBA Changes and Corrections:

----- Changes between 2.70a5 and previous releases ----

With VNP enabled and no registered VNPs, firmware will now function
as if VNPs are not enabled. (CR 23132)

Port number generation for virtual ports has been corrected.
(CR 23051, 23131)

Corrected handling of AHB parity errors. (CR 23049, 23050)

A timeout is prevented by allowing the firmware to process fatal DMA
engine errors even if the DMA is not complete, such as during a PCI
master abort. (CR 22563)

The R_A_TOV field is now properly expressed in milliseconds. (CR 22562)

Any attentions pending during link down are now sent. (CR 22510)

Firmware now seperates BDL DMA requests so that one is stopped before
another is started. (CR 22162, 22179)

QDR memory POST was modified to establish proper ECC and prevent false
memory read errors. (CR 22519, 22520)

Corrected processing of BDL with unexpected offset to properly handle
incoming data frame. (CR 22564)

Incorporated new Emulex SLI-3 protocol. (CR 20834, 20843)

SLI-3 coding inconsistencies were found during in-house test with no
reported instances of failure.
- Proper wakeup parameters have been generated (CR 21597)
- Mailbox response interlock correction (CR 22051)
- READ_REV command had to be corrected (CR 22067, 22114)
- Corrected data abort by assuring all data structures
are initialized to zero before allocation. (CR 22513)

Allow VPD offset to be outside of specification for greater flexibility
with some systems. (CR 21548)

Corrected PCI configuration to advertise VPD access for Zephyr 1.1 ASICs.
(CR 21391)

Protocol testing with invalid conditions revealed protocol response
errors which have had no reported instances of failure in the field.
(CR 17199, 17200, 17203, 20788)

An I/O timeout during tape operation was eliminated by delaying
processing of any FCP2 errors during discovery. (CR 18287)

Improved DMA error handling of split errors where host memory has been
made unavailable. (CR 19348)

Improved the dynamic coalescing algorithm for better auto-tuning
performance. (CR 20208)

The HBA no longer transmits RRDY during buffer clean-up before FLOGI
is sent. Transmitting RRDY during this time is allowed and does not
cause any error, but was seen by lab analysis and was regarded as
undesirable behavior. (CR 18341, 18342)

A DMA attempt and error immediately after unconfiguring memory no longer
causes the HBA to ignore further commands. (CR 19349)

Improved management of unavailable memory by limiting the number of
retries. The HBA now reports an error attention after retries have
been exhausted. (CR 19351)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. System Requirements

The Emulex LPFC driver and LPFC DFC driver RPMs require that the
kernel sources be installed on the system in order for the RPM
installation to succeed. The following distributions of Linux are
supported by the Emulex drivers:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 with Service Pack 3

2. Description of Changes

The lpfc-install script installs both the LPFC driver and the LPFC
DFC driver RPMs. These RPMs install their driver sources to the
/usr/src/lpfc directory, build their drivers for the currently
running kernel, and then install the drivers to the proper
directory for the currently running kernel.

Once the RPMs are installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the 'lpfc' driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.
The 'elxlpfc' init script is also installed and configured to start
and stop the 'lpfcdfc' driver during system startup and shutdown.

3. Errata

- On SLES 8 SP3, the uninstall procedure does not fully remove all
of the driver files that get built during installation. Run the
'lpfc-install --uninstall' command twice to remove all the
driver files.

- SLES 8 does not handle the Peripheral Qualifier Bit set to 1
correctly. If you need to use some lun scanning software to
dynamically add new luns to a SLES 8 system, you must to set the
lpfc_inq_pqb_filter parameter.

- On some large configurations, with many targets and other
initiators, FC discovery may not complete before the SCSI
subsystem probes for devices. If this occurs, some SCSI devices
may not be detected at boot. The missing devices can be detected
by requesting the SCSI subsystem to rescan via /proc/scsi/scsi
and the "scsi add-single-device "
mechanism. Emulex provides a script, called lun_scan, which
automates the scan requests for Emulex adapters. This script is
contained the driver applications kit. This script can be
integrated into the system run-level transitions to ensure that
all devices are fully detected.

1. System Requirements

The following distributions of Linux are supported by the Emulex LPFC
driver:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 6 and higher
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 with Service Pack 3 and 4

The Emulex LPFC driver and LPFC DFC driver RPMs require gcc compiler
tools and the kernel sources for the running kernel be installed on
the system in order for the driver installation to succeed.
2. Description of Install Process

The lpfc-install script installs both the LPFC driver and the LPFC
DFC driver RPMs. These RPMs install their driver sources to the
/usr/src/lpfc directory, build their drivers for the currently
running kernel, and then install the drivers to the proper
directory for the currently running kernel.

Once the RPMs are installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the LPFC driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.

Please refer to the LPFC Linux 7.3 documentation on the Emulex
website at http://www.emulex.com for an installation manual that
includes a complete set of options for the lpfc-install program.

Emulex strongly recommends uninstalling any old LPFC driver kits
before installing the new driver kit. Please refer to the "Driver
Uninstallation" section to uninstall previous versions of the
Emulex LPFC 7.x or older driver.
2.1 Driver Installation

Log in as the user 'root' to a terminal, change to the directory in
which the Emulex LPFC 7.3 driver kit is installed, and execute the
'lpfc-install' script with no options to install the driver:

./lpfc-install

Once the 'lpfc-install' script has completed successfully, the
Emulex LPFC and LPFC DFC drivers will be loaded, and fibre channel
disks that are properly connected to the system should be
accessible. However, a reboot of the system is recommended to load
the LPFC driver through the ramdisk.

1. System Requirements

The following distributions of Linux are supported by the Emulex
LPFC driver:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5

1.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 'kernel-devel' Package Requirement

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, the -devel package
which matches the kernel package with the same version as the
currently running kernel must be installed for the LPFC driver
build to succeed. For example, a system with the 2.6.18-7 kernel
would need the kernel-devel-2.6.18-7 package.
2. Description of Install Procedure

The lpfc-install script installs the LPFC driver RPM. This RPM
installs the driver sources to the /usr/src/lpfc directory, builds
the driver for the currently running kernel, and then installs the
driver to the proper directory for the currently running kernel.

Once the RPM is installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the 'lpfc' driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.
3. Known Issues

3.1 PCI Hot Plug Support for applications

3.1.1 Observed problem

PCI Hot Plug has been found to cause applications (HBAnyware utilities or
third party applications) that use the Emulex libraries (i.e. HBAAPI), to
misbehave or malfunction.

3.1.2 Workaround

A user should stop all applications that are accessing LPFC's HBAAPI
interface (HBAnyware utilities or third party applications) before
performing PCI Hot Plug of an LPFC HBA.

Use the following command to stop the HBAnyware application:
#/usr/sbin/hbanyware/stop_hbanyware

After performing PCI Hot Plug of the HBA you can restart the applications.

1. System Requirements

The following distributions of Linux are supported by the Emulex
LPFC driver:

SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10

1.1 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement

For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server installations, the kernel-source
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.16.11-7-ppc64 kernel would need the
kernel-source-2.6.16.11-7 package.
2. Description of Install Procedure

The lpfc-install script installs the LPFC driver RPM. This RPM
installs the driver sources to the /usr/src/lpfc directory, builds
the driver for the currently running kernel, and then installs the
driver to the proper directory for the currently running kernel.

Once the RPM is installed, the lpfc-install script creates a new
ramdisk for the currently running kernel so that the 'lpfc' driver
is loaded when the kernel is initialized during system startup.
3. Known Issues

3.1 Loading order of LPFC driver in initial ramdisk

3.1.1 Background

In SLES10, the modules to be loaded as part of the initial ramdisk are
specified through the variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/kernel. The
modules are loaded in exactly the order in which they appear in
INITRD_MODULES. This is important when starting the system via the initial
ramdisk and accessing the root file system.

The LPFC driver installation adds the "lpfc" driver in the INITRD_MODULES
list of modules at the end of the list, if the "lpfc" list entry is not
already there. If it is already present it will not make any updates.

1.1 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 'kernel-devel' Package Requirement

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux installations, the kernel development
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC 8.0 driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.9-22.EL kernel would need the
kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL package, and a system with the
2.6.9-22.ELsmp kernel would need the kernel-smp-devel-2.6.9-22.EL
package.

1.2 SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 'kernel-source' Package Requirement

For SuSE Linux Enterprise Server installations, the kernel-source
package with the same version as the currently running kernel must
be installed for the LPFC 8.0 driver build to succeed. For
example, a system with the 2.6.5-7.139-bigsmp kernel would need the
kernel-source-2.6.5-7.139 package.

HBAnyware 2.1a18 Solaris Installation Instructions

Dependencies:

lpfcdriver 6.02c, or later
hbaapi 2.0e

Java Runtime Environment

Version 1.4 or later of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must
be installed. HBAnyware will not run under earlier versions of
the JRE.

HBAnyware and hbacmd currently will not run under Solaris 6.

The JRE and instructions for installation can be found at http://java.sun.com/downloads/index.html

JAVA NOTE:
HBAnyware needs the java runtime binaries and libraries, so their path needs to be included in the PATH
environment variable. For example, if your java runtime binaries are in /usr/java/bin, then include this path
in your PATH environment variable. (bash> export PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/bin")

HBAnyware is dependant on lpfcdriver being installed, so install lpfcdriver first if it is not already installed.

1. Run the pkgrm routine to remove any previous version of HBAnyware: pkgrm HBAnyware
2. Copy the HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar.gz file to a directory on the install machine
3. cd to the directory which you copied the tar file
4. Unzip the file: gunzip HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar.gz
5. Untar the file: tar -xvf HBAnyware-2.1a18-sparc.tar
6. Run the pkgadd routine: pkgadd -d .
7. When prompted by pkadd, choose to install HBAnyware
Running the HBAnyware GUI

1. su to root
2. Run the script /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbanyware
Helpful scripts

/usr/sbin/hbanyware/stop_hbanyware - This script will stop all HBAnyware daemons and GUIs.
Run this if you need to unload the driver.
