HI,
I have just installed HBA card in BL860c.
On ILO it is showing Fine, able to find the hardware
QLogic QMH2462 4Gb FC HBA for HP c-Class BladeSystem
but in O/S (HP-UX 11.3) it is showing below error.
0/3/0/0/0/0: Fibre channel Driver Read bad NVRAM Header
Additional status is 0x03
status == 0x01: Bad/Incorrect Signature
status == 0x02: Incorrect minimum version
status == 0x03: Incorrect Checksum
init of hardware not successful. id=10772432 and my_isc=d
What could be the problem Guys as the same problem is coming in 4 Servers in which we have installed 4 new HBA cards.

SolutionDo you have the HP-UX FibrChanl-01 (fcd) software installed? Check with # swlist Fibr*
If installed, check the version. Update to the latest if needed:
https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=FibrChanl-01
Also, check the BL860c server firmware (use the # machinfo command). The latest is v. 4.31:

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
I would check the HBA firmware and EFI driver:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=3709945&prodSeriesId=1844104&prodNameId=1844105&swEnvOID=54&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=co-102984-1
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
During the Server Booting it is given a error
"fibre channel adapter nvram error binding aborted"
I had tried to Update the Firmware using batch fcd_update4.nsh utility in efi shell. It shows that it is updating but after reset it agains shows same error.
Below are the Error Screen Shot

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
With firmware reporting as "0.00" at the EFI shell and the firmware update process not working, this is looking very much like a defective card.

But Question is that When i reboot the server All the firmware got lost.
When i tried to save in NVRAM it is asking me for the NVRAM file name
efiutil> nvram_write
Nvram data filename?
Please specify the nvram file name
This operation is not supported with default file name
How could i find the nvram filename.

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
Perhaps an issue with the firmware files themselves? Try downloading and applying firmware from a previous version to see if that changes anything.

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
Or if possible can we write/save the changes in NVRAM as i don;t know what could be the NVRAM file name and his location.

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
Well, I have never done udpates like this outside of the script provided. I did note that within the firmware package there is an efiutil.pdf document that describes the nvram_write command among others. I also noted a 'diagnostic' command that may be useful.
I would just advise caution. If your card's NVRAM is corrupt, then I guess there isnt much to lose. If, for some reason, the problem is elsewhere, you can certainly cause more problems by writing the wrong data!

Re: HBA not detecting in O/S
So you ran the command:
efiutil> nvram_write qmh2462.dat
and that updated the cards firmware for you? That is good to know!
