I am trying to get Comstar up and running and am having problems with my HBA. I purchased this HBA without looking at the OpenSolaris HCL first, and it's not on the list. However, other factors are making me wonder if this adapter just won't work in OpenSolaris or if something else is going on.
First, this is admittedly anecdotal but a post in this thread: https://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=81627&tstart=120 from the lead engineer of the emlxs driver states that the driver "will support all of the Emulex HBAs." It's certainly possible that the poster simply meant to say "all Emulex HBAs on the HCL" but I wasn't sure. The PCI ID of my HBA (pci10df,f0a5) is in /etc/driver_aliases. I also found a reference to it in a SUNWemlxs/postinstall file here: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/pkgdefs/SUNWemlxs/postinstall The problems manifest themselves as follows: If I run "mdb -k" followed by "::devbindings -q emlxs" I get: "ffffff01471c8010 pci10df,f0a5 (driver not attached)" dmesg | grep emlxs shows (among other things) "ERROR: 420: Adapter hardware error. (Mailbox Timeout: CONFIG_PORT: mb=ffffff014c019740 Polled.)" "ERROR: 201: Adapter initialization failed. (Unable to configure port. Mailbox cmd=88 status=fe slimode=2 key=0)" "ERROR: 201: Adapter initialization failed. (status=5)" "ERROR: 101: Driver attach failed. (Unable to initialize adapter.)" Can anyone tell me if this is because the driver doesn't support this card, or if there's another problem? Since the PCI ID is in /etc/driver_aliases I suspect the latter, but I don't know what else it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
