Hi All, We have a 4GB Emulex HBA with 8.1.6 lpfc driver. The distribution is SLES10 on PowerPc. When we do a number of target-storage-system reboots, we see the following panic. Has any one seen this before? Thanks, Yanling Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=128 NUMA

Hi All, I didn't follow the thread and progress of the parallel device scan at FC LLD driver module loading time in the list. I would like to understand the expected behavior of the parallel scan and insmod/modprobe. I have a configuration where I have 4 LSI FC ports. When I insmod the

remove_on_dev_loss module parameter in scsi_transport_fc

2006-11-28 Thread Qi, Yanling
Hi All, I saw SLES10 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp kernel supports a new module parameter remove_on_dev_loss in scsi_transport_fc. The parameter description is remove_on_dev_loss:Boolean. When the device loss timer fires, this variable controls whether the scsi infrastructure for the target device is
