Re: How to view the HBA cards in linux (redhat)
This was the correction that SEP was pointing out to me. 'lspci' as a command, /proc/scsi/ to check the kernel. I.e.,
HBA is a QLogic with model # qla#####
In /proc/scsi you would check for ...
cat /proc/scsi/qla#####

Re: How to view the HBA cards in linux (redhat)
senthil_kumar:
1) Yes, the cards can be detected on the bus, so the physical connection is fine.
2) Yes, the qla2xxx driver has automatically been loaded and is using the various SCSI-layer service modules. Looks good.
> 3) So I believe host2, host3, host4 and host5 are Qlogic FC and host0 & host1 are local SCSI ports available in mother board, Am I correct?
Yes, that's true.
Both /sys/class/fc_host/hostX and the equivalent /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX refer to the same FC port.
> 4)So as per above outputs my Qlogic FC card has been detected and I can use them in SAN network with out installing any drivers further, am i correct?
Yes, looks like it.
> 5)The purpose of "Fibre Channel Enablement Kit" is to see available FC controllers and rescan the FC controller to check for new LUNs with out restarting the linux, am i correct?
Yes... but rescanning the controllers is possible even without the Fibre Channel Enablement Kit, but the procedure is slightly more difficult.

Re: How to view the HBA cards in linux (redhat)
PSP
Proliant Service Pack
It is a set of tools available for Proliant Servers that make managing the systems, especially fiber attached storage much easier.
There are web based tools, even disk partitioning tools that are a system administrators friend.
On certain Proliant systems with qlogic cards, I have had to install PSP to insure stable access to HBA/Fiber attached storage.
Sorry, I though using G6 servers you knew about PSP. My bad. No points for me please.
