QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapters on rx4640 with HP-UX
could anybody help me with configuring of QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapters (rev 02) on an Itanium 2 server rx4640 with HP-UX 11i v2 installed?
There could be problems with drivers probably, since there are following messages in dmesg:
fcd: Unsupported svid 0x1077 or ssid 0x0100
fcd: at 0/2/1/0 rombase unmapped successfully
init of hardware not successful. id=10772312 and my_isc=20
fcd: Unsupported svid 0x1077 or ssid 0x0100
fcd: at 0/4/2/0 rombase unmapped successfully
init of hardware not successful. id=10772312 and my_isc=40
Thanks for any hints

If its not supported, probably not.
Check your Core OS or application CD for drivers. If the card is not supported, it will NEVER work with HP-UX.
HP-UX has achieved its reliability partially by limiting the universe of hardware it supports.
Next time, please check with an HP supplier to see if the cards you chose are supported.
If Qlogic provides a HP-UX driver, I'll happily eat my words. Otherwise, get supported cards.

If a card is not listed here, it won't work, because the servers firmware isn't aware of it, the firmware of the card doesn't fit or the OS can't (or don't want) to handle it.
Hope this helps!

Torsten.

While I think one or more of the FC cards for HP-UX Integrity are based on Qlogic, those cards have HP-specific sub-mumble ids. A qlogic card "off the street" will not have those subvendor IDs.

Re: QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapters on rx4640 with HP-UX
Nevertheless, I was confused by EFI Shell command "pci" output, where Fibre Channel Vendor 0x1077 Device 0x2312 Prog Interface 0
are listed.
That's why I was looking for proper HP-UX 11.23 drivers with no results, unfortunately.

Re: QLA2312 Fibre Channel Adapters on rx4640 with HP-UX
Depending on how strongly you feel about it I suspect a couple of options exist:
1) submit an ER against the HP-UX driver to include binding to, if not actually supporting, non HP branded cards.
2) I know that driver writing guides for NICs exist for UX. If the same exist for HBA's then you could in theory roll your own driver. It wouldn't be a small endeavour, and it might actually be more cost-effective to buy the HP branded cards (perhaps second hand if list price is an issue for you) but the option may be there.
