L-Class

[Prashant Zanwar_4]

One quick check, does L-Class posses fibre HBA's. Or are they capable of holding those ?
I dont see anything under ioscan -fnC fc


Thanks

Hi,

Yes they can. Do you have the FC cards installed? If so, do you have the drivers loaded?

Hi Prashant,

Well, they don't come standard so they would have had to been ordered at purchase time or added later. If you don't see any in an ioscan output - even UMCLAIMED - then chances are there are none installed.
And one piece of advice - run them only in Turbo or TwinTurbo slots to get optimal performance out of them. They'll be dogs in the nonTurbo slots.

Rgds,
Jeff

Hi,

Check partsurfer.hp.com

you may not see anything in your ioscan if you don't have a fiber card or if you don't have the card driver loaded.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for reply..
I can see the drivers are installed..

In this case, then the cards are not installed...am i right?

run this:

ioscan -fnC ext_bus

You should see something like this:

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
======================================================================
ext_bus 0 0/0/1/0 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C896 Fast Wide LVD
ext_bus 1 0/0/1/1 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C896 Ultra Wide Single-Ended
ext_bus 2 0/0/2/0 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C87x Ultra Wide Single-Ended
ext_bus 3 0/0/2/1 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C87x Ultra Wide Single-Ended
ext_bus 4 0/3/0/0 c720 CLAIMED INTERFACE SCSI C895 Ultra2 Wide LVD
ext_bus 7 0/4/0/0.8.0.255.1 fcpdev CLAIMED INTERFACE FCP Device Interface

ext_bus 8 0/4/0/0.8.0.255.7 fcpdev CLAIMED INTERFACE FCP Device Interface



That shows cards actually in use:

fcmsutil /dev/td0
fcmsutil /dev/td1

That will show you for certain.

Or duh:

ioscan -fnC fc

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=================================================================
fc 0 0/4/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon TL/TS Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td0
fc 1 0/7/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon TL/TS Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td1


Shows them both whether in use or not.
