Help! Moving HBA cards to different slots
Due to speed mismatch, the server kept crashing. Sun suggests that I need to move the two HBA cards from the 66Mhz to the 33Mhz slots. There are tons of disks that are connected to these HBAs and I have Veritas volume manager.
Does anyone have a list of what I need to do prior/after moving to the new PCI slots? One thing I know is the controller names will be different, eg. the old c6 would become like c3, etc.

Has anyone ever relocated an HBA card after already having it configured in another PCI slot? I've found that the HBA instance #'s start incrementing past the previous. It results in me having to have my instance numbers in /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf be 4,5,6,7 instead of 0,1,2,3. Cleanup with... (5 Replies)

Hi,
I'm trying to determine which HBA cards are installed on my Solaris 10 (Sun-Fire-V240) machine.
The relevant data I have is below, but from it I cannot ascertain for sure if I have Emulex 10000 or 11000 HBA cards.
Can anyone suggest how to determine my HBA hardware ?
Thanks,
Ron.

vxbootsetup
vxbootsetup(1M) vxbootsetup(1M)
NAME
vxbootsetup - set up system boot information on a Veritas Volume Manager disk
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup [-g diskgroup] [medianame ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The vxbootsetup utility configures physical disks so that they can be used to boot the system. Before vxbootsetup is called to configure a
disk, the required volumes, standvol, rootvol and swapvol (and optionally, dumpvol) must be created on the disk. All of these volumes must
be contiguous with only one subdisk.
The -g option may be used to specify the boot disk group.
If no medianame arguments are specified, all disks that contain usable mirrors of the root, swap, /usr and /var volumes are configured to
be bootable.
If medianame arguments are given, only the disks that are associated with the specified disk names are configured to be bootable.
vxbootsetup requires that:
o The root volume must be named rootvol and must have a usage type of root.
o The swap volume must be named swapvol and must have a usage type of swap.
o The volumes containing /usr and /var (if any) must be named usr and var, respectively.
See the chapter "Recovery from Boot Disk Failure" in the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information on how the
system boots and how VxVM impacts the system boot process. The vxmirror, vxrootmir, and vxresize utilities call vxbootsetup automatically.
If you use vxassist, or vxmake and vxplex to create mirrors of the root volume on a disk, you must run vxbootsetup explicitly to make the
disk bootable.
ARGUMENTS
medianame
Specifies the disk name (disk media name) of a VM disk that is to be configured as bootable.
