--------------- NOTES and CAUTIONS ---------------------
** Ensure that critical files on local boot disk are backed up
as a measure of protection.

(1) This procedure assumes there is already a 'local' boot disk.

(2) The size of the intended (target) fibre channel disk should
be big enough to hold all the file systems, and swap slice
of the local current boot disk.

(3) As there will probably be more than one logical disk drive on
the fibre channel adapter it will be necessary to use persistent
binding ('nailing' a specific scsi id to a specific wwpn or did).

(4) It will be necessary to correlate the intended boot disk displayed
by the 'probe-scsi-all' command to the devices displayed by the
operating system.

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

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A4 ------------------------

1. The "ct-req" info. was erased by adding the "memory erase" function
before "ct-req" dma-free in previous release which cause the fcode
fail to see the target in fabric mode, the new fixed is removed the
"memory erase" function from "ct-req" before the dma-free. (CR11852)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A3 ------------------------

1. In some system server, during the DR, there is a WARNING message
with memory leaked issue. The new release corrected this issue by
adding additional memory erase functions to set to 0 all the previously
obtained dma memory before the fcode released out the dma and virtual
address mappings by dma-map-out and dma-free. (CR11350 & CR11351)

2. In the universal boot code, during the boot time, there is an
warning message "Warning: Fcode sequence resulted in a net stack
depth change of 1", the new release fixed issue by remove some
unnecessarily call function in the fcode. (CR11538)

3. In some system, if the HBA was fail on the initialization by pulling
or remove the cable during boot time, the .properties command in the
ok prompt will display the wrong mode number of the HBA. The new
fixed will not show any model number of the HBA in this scenario. If
the system initize the HBA properly, it will display the correct
model number of the HBA. (CR9842)

4. Added the new instruction for using the alpa to set the boot id in
readme file. (CR9781)

Observations

IBM Branded LP9802 HBA
Boot Code works with the existing BIOS on supported systems and allows the system to boot from a connected Fibre Channel drive.
Platform: Intel (32-bit) The current BIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13 system
BIOS calls. The BIOS supports:

(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop
(2) Multi-initiators: Up to 64 adapters in a system
(3) Multi-LUNs: Up to 256 LUNs
(4) Multi-boot: Complies with the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): Supports both EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1
depending selection in BIOS Utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: There are eight boot entries that can be configured.
If the first boot entry fails the system is still able to boot from the
second configured boot entry and so on.

Although a specific BIOS file for the LP6000 does not exist, all current
versions of BIOS will scan and process any LP6000 Adapters in the system.

***** 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 (enabled) the BIOS in order to make this card bootable.

--------------- NOTES and CAUTIONS ---------------------
** Ensure that critical files on local boot disk are backed up
as a measure of protection.

(1) This procedure assumes there is already a 'local' boot disk.

(2) The size of the intended (target) fibre channel disk should
be big enough to hold all the file systems, and swap slice
of the local current boot disk.

(3) As there will probably be more than one logical disk drive on
the fibre channel adapter it will be necessary to use persistent
binding ('nailing' a specific scsi id to a specific wwpn or did).

(4) It will be necessary to correlate the intended boot disk displayed
by the 'probe-scsi-all' command to the devices displayed by the
operating system.

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

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A4 ------------------------

1. The "ct-req" info. was erased by adding the "memory erase" function
before "ct-req" dma-free in previous release which cause the fcode
fail to see the target in fabric mode, the new fixed is removed the
"memory erase" function from "ct-req" before the dma-free. (CR11852)
----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.41A3 ------------------------

1. In some system server, during the DR, there is a WARNING message
with memory leaked issue. The new release corrected this issue by
adding additional memory erase functions to set to 0 all the previously
obtained dma memory before the fcode released out the dma and virtual
address mappings by dma-map-out and dma-free. (CR11350 & CR11351)

2. In the universal boot code, during the boot time, there is an
warning message "Warning: Fcode sequence resulted in a net stack
depth change of 1", the new release fixed issue by remove some
unnecessarily call function in the fcode. (CR11538)

3. In some system, if the HBA was fail on the initialization by pulling
or remove the cable during boot time, the .properties command in the
ok prompt will display the wrong mode number of the HBA. The new
fixed will not show any model number of the HBA in this scenario. If
the system initize the HBA properly, it will display the correct
model number of the HBA. (CR9842)

4. Added the new instruction for using the alpa to set the boot id in
readme file. (CR9781)

Observations

IBM Branded LP8000 HBA
Boot Code works with the existing BIOS on supported systems and allows the system to boot from a connected Fibre Channel drive.
Platform: Intel (32-bit) The current BIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13 system
BIOS calls. The BIOS supports:

(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop
(2) Multi-initiators: Up to 64 adapters in a system
(3) Multi-LUNs: Up to 256 LUNs
(4) Multi-boot: Complies with the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): Supports both EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1
depending selection in BIOS Utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: There are eight boot entries that can be configured.
If the first boot entry fails the system is still able to boot from the
second configured boot entry and so on.

versions of BIOS will scan and process any LP6000 Adapters in the system.

***** 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 (enabled) the BIOS in order to make this card bootable.

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

(1) EFIBoot was not enabled from loading to system memory:

If the adapter EFIBoot is not enabled from loading to system, this adapter
will not be configured. User must use LP6dutil or some other OS Utility to
enable the EFIBoot in order to make this card bootable.

(2) EFIBoot Bios was enabled to configure the adapter and No Link:

EFIBoot will wait for 15 seconds/adapter to confirm a link.

(3) If two or more adapters have same EFIBoot driver version, EFIBoot will
load only one driver.

(4) If there are adapters with different EFIBoot driver versions, EFIBoot
will load the highest version of the EFIBoot driver.

--------------- NOTES and CAUTIONS ---------------------
** Ensure that critical files on local boot disk are backed up
as a measure of protection.

(1) This procedure assumes there is already a 'local' boot disk.

(2) The size of the intended (target) fibre channel disk should
be big enough to hold all the file systems, and swap slice
of the local current boot disk.

(3) As there will probably be more than one logical disk drive on
the fibre channel adapter it will be necessary to use persistent
binding (binding a specific scsi id to a specific wwpn or did).

(4) It will be necessary to correlate the intended boot disk displayed
by the 'probe-scsi-all' command to the devices displayed by the
operating system.

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

----------------------- NEW CHANGES 1.50a4 ------------------------

1. Added the new link speed selection feature that uses the command
"set-link-speed" to select the desired link speed. The new link
speed now can support up to 4 Gigabaud, and the default link speed
is Auto Select. (CR16047)

2. Added the new Fcode Diag Switch feature that uses the command
"set-fdiag-switch" to turn the diag switch on/off. If the Diag
switch is on, the detail debug error message will be print out
during POST or boot time if there is any link/boot failure.(CR16048)

3. Bug fixed where HBA did not retry under a LOGO response and caused
fabric boot failure. (CR15707)

4. Bug fixed where HBA did not retry the START/STOP command on a SCSI
Queue Full response and caused fabric boot failure. The new number
of retries for Queue Full is up to 10 times and then give up.(CR16049)

5. Changed the new number of retry condition for SCSI Busy to retry
forever. (CR16050)

6. Added the host "port-wwn" and "node-wwn" of the HBA into the reg
property during POST time which was required by system to
allow to collect the Host wwpn/wwnn info during boot.(CR16051)

7. Fixed the bug on fail to report fcp-lun on software BOOT format.
(CR16052)

8. Added the new feature "show-wwpn-child". User can use this command
to show the LUNs target with the desired WWPN only instead of all
WWPNs and LUNs.(CR16053)

Ensure that we have at least one credit when doing REG LOGIN to
fabric port. (CR 12460, 12466, 14357)

Response to an unsolicited IP broadcast frame was corrected to comply
with FC spec. (CR 11019, 14596)

Interrupt handling of a PCI abort has been corrected so that the rare
out-of-order interrupt is no longer regarded as a cause for resetting
the HBA. (CR 11169, 13635, 14052, 14449)

Improved response and handling of Expansion ROM access requests
to enhance and ensure correct operation.

Corrected a problem where the download of corrupted firmware would
return the proper error, but refuse any further commands.
(CR 13241, 14584)

Improved handling of the RESET_RING command to completely initialize
the ring and no longer return an unnecessary response.
(CR 13325, 13631, 13632, 13374, 14446, 14450, 14589)

Improved response to give priority to outstanding ACKs when in
target mode under heavy load. (CR 13327, 13633, 14445)

completion. (CR 19606, 19785, 19937, 20224)

Modified the Loopback Test to eliminate false error detection.
(CR 19901, 20130, 20225, 20227)
-- Changes and corrections between 2.10a9 and 2.10a8:

Changed DMA engine to quiesce and shutdown so that a channel reset on one
channel does not affect operations of the other channel.
(CR 18627, 18919, 18927, 19089, 18921, 19090)

Corrected UART interrupt handling to eliminate chance of channel lock up
on first POST after flash is programmed. (CR 18621, 19083)

Modified initialization of configuration region to avoid errors if host
reads it before the initial configuration is complete.
(CR 19177, 19187, 19188)
-- Changes and corrections between 2.10a8 and 2.10a7:

Improved handling of unexpected link events after a DownLink command by
returning to a non-active state after the command is processed.
(CR 17081, 17577, 17606, 18281)

Several issues with FLASH access during reset of only one port have been
eliminated by synchronizing the flash access speed of both ports.
(CR 17472, 17475, 17539, 17542, 17625, 17626, 17647, 17648, 18212,
18307)

An I/O timeout during tape operation was eliminated by delaying
processing of any FCP2 errors during discovery. (CR 17363, 18287, 18288)

The maximum IOCB value reported by read_config now reports the correct
number of buffers in the pool. (CR 18223, 18289, 18290, 18348)

Added or refined features as per customer requests. (CR 8636, 8663,
9182, 8080, 8082, 9811, 9864, 10120, 10574)

Several symptoms, ranging from I/O errors to HBA hang, were caused by
the power management reset process and Solaris "Dynamic Reconfiguration"
process, both of which required a change in the HBA to assure that the
PCI configuration was ready within a very short time after HBA reset.
(CR 5204, 6941, 6961, 7097, 8634, 8635, 8637, 8638, 9398, 10212)

Enabled use of LP952 with Open Source Linux 2.01 and newer.
(CR 9362)

Corrected an incorrect response to an RRQ timeout. ABTS is now sent
if the RRQ to the host times out. (CR 10119, 9364)

When several commands were issued to the HBA and then one was aborted,
the firmware would occasionally not throw away all the frames for the
aborted exchange. The result was that the HBA would stop transmitting
R-RDY and no further credit would be issued. The rare instance in which
this could happen has been corrected. (CR 9393)

A rare condition where an incorrect IOCB could be returned to the host
if the exchange is aborted before the buffer list has been queued by the
host has been corrected. (CR 10117, 10058)

WWN upon receipt of a fiber login is now validated to avoid a problem
where the switch tries to access the HBA as a G-port,

Observations

IBM Branded LP9002S HBA Compatibility:

This kit supports the LP9002S series of SBus host adapters.

This kit includes the following files:

README.TXT The file you are reading
RF392A2.DWC Firmware files for the HBA
RF392A2.AWC Firmware files with POST and loader
/prg_kit/*.* The individual files which can be used
to create the firmware files above
Changes and Corrections:

Added or refined features as per customer requests. (CR 8636, 8663,
9182, 8080, 8082, 9811, 9864, 10120, 10574)

Several symptoms, ranging from I/O errors to HBA hang, were caused by
the power management reset process and Solaris "Dynamic Reconfiguration"
process, both of which required a change in the HBA to assure that the
PCI configuration was ready within a very short time after HBA reset.
(CR 5204, 6941, 6961, 7097, 8634, 8635, 8637, 8638, 9398, 10212)

Corrected an incorrect response to an RRQ timeout. ABTS is now sent
if the RRQ to the host times out. (CR 10119, 9364)

When several commands were issued to the HBA and then one was aborted,
the firmware would occasionally not throw away all the frames for the
aborted exchange. The result was that the HBA would stop transmitting
R-RDY and no further credit would be issued. The rare instance in which
this could happen has been corrected. (CR 9393)

A rare condition where an incorrect IOCB could be returned to the host
if the exchange is aborted before the buffer list has been queued by the
host has been corrected. (CR 10117, 10058)

WWN upon receipt of a fiber login is now validated to avoid a problem
where the switch tries to access the HBA as a G-port,
(CR 10229, 10568, 10569)

FCP recovery has been improved by including the proper reason codes
for tapes. (CR 10173, 10575, 9530)

A switch login problem in point-to-point-only mode with certain
transceivers has been corrected. (CR 9406)

A CLOSE in point-to-point mode is no longer ignored. This corrects a
deadlock problem in OldPort mode when connecting to a switch.
(CR 9438)

A rare instance where the wrong exchange is aborted could eventually
cause the IO_TAG to be reused. The problem has been corrected by
matching the abort to the correct exchange by validating the IO_TAG.
(CR 10118, 9809)

Development, desk checks and source code review found possible problems
that had no reported instances of failure.

Ensure that there is at least one credit when doing REG LOGIN to
fabric port. (CR 12460, 12466, 14357)

Parity errors due to loop init received during speed negotiation
are now processed properly. (CR 13463, 14239, 14241)

Corrected a problem where the download of corrupted firmware would
return the proper error, but refuse any further commands.
(CR 13241, 14584)

Improved handling of the RESET_RING command to completely initialize
the ring and no longer return an unnecessary response.
(CR 13325, 13631, 13632, 13374, 14446, 14450, 14589)

Ensure that no frames waiting for resources are accidentally released
on to the link when killing exchanges.
(CR 12183, 13630, 14591, 14447)

Invalid exchange handling was improved by not issuing an error when
buffers are returned for use. (CR 13413, 14593)

Added code to correctly process and count error counter overflows.

(CR 14599, 13059, 12545)

An uninitialized value (usually zero) was being returned for the ED_TOV
value when a default value of 10 was actually being used by the
firmware. The reported value is now correctly intialized to 10.
(CR 14108, 14603)

Corrected the reason and explanation codes given to the tape drive
in an LS_RJT response to REC ELS. This allows a Solaris host to
retry the command. (CR 10121, 9489)

5. Errata

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

1. System Requirements

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 RPM installation to succeed. The following
distributions of Linux are supported by the Emulex drivers:

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

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. Driver Installation

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.

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.

HBAnyware 3.0a15 Linux Installation Instructions

This installation kit contains the following components:

HBAnyware version 3.0a15
SSC version 3.0a15
DFC Library version 80.162-1
Lputil version 2.0a14
HBAAPI version 2.1.c

HBAnyware requires that the lpfc driver module be installed.

HBAnyware requires a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768.

HBAnyware requires the kernel development environment as described here:

This kit installs the Emulex Application Helper Module for the
currently running kernel. Since this installation procedure builds
the module for the currently running kernel, the kernel development
environment must be installed. For systems running Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL) 4, the appropriate kernel-devel package is required; 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. For
systems running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9, the appropriate
kernel-source package is required; for example, a system with the
2.6.5-7.139-bigsmp kernel would need the kernel-source-2.6.5-7.139
package.
A log of each installation and uninstallation is recorded in the
following file:

/usr/src/lpfcdfc/utils-install.log
Installing HBAnyware:

1. Copy the applications kit tar file to a directory on the install machine
2. cd to the directory which you copied the tar file
3. Untar the file: tar -xvf tarfilename
4. cd (change directory) to the "ElxLinuxApps.." directory created by step 3
5. su to root
6. If earlier HBAnyware version currently installed, type : ./uninstall
7. Run the install script: ./install

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.

Observations

Qualification: The FC Port driver is Microsoft WHQL qualified for Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server on x86 platforms.
The FC Port 2.41a1 driver has been qualified with the Universal WHQL program, which does not support Microsoft Cluster Server qualifications.
FC Port 2.22a8 Not Supported with SP1 and SP2
If you're using FC Port 2.22a8, you will be unable to install the Windows Server 2003 SP2 update. See Solution ID: 27815 for more information. If you're using FC Port 2.22a8 and install the Windows Server 2003 SP1 update, the system will not boot after the SP1 installation.
You should install the most current version of FC Port or Storport Miniport that has been qualified by your Emulex HBA service provider before installing SP1 or SP2. If you have installed SP1 with FC Port driver 2.22a8, see Solution ID: 17931 for help on how to recover your system.
