Fibre Cards
What kind of systems are you putting these cards in? What type of storage device are you using? There may be some specific software necessary for your disks.
Normally there is no issue with the install. Where things can get exciting is in the zoning and allocation of resources on the SAN device.
Good luck.

NAME
allocate - device allocation
SYNOPSIS
allocate [-s] [-U uname] device
allocate [-s] [-U uname] -g dev-type
allocate [-s] [-U uname] -F device
The allocate utility manages the ownership of devices through its allocation mechanism. It ensures that each device is used by only one
qualified user at a time.
The device argument specifies the device to be manipulated. To preserve the integrity of the device's owner, the allocate operation is exe-
cuted on all the device special files associated with that device.
The argument dev-type is the device type to be operated on and can only be used with the -g option.
The default allocate operation allocates the device special files associated with device to the uid of the current process.
If the -F option is specified, the device cleaning program is executed when allocation is performed. This cleaning program is found in
/etc/security/lib. The name of this program is found in the device_allocate(4) entry for the device in the dev-exec field.
Only authorized users may allocate a device. The required authorizations are specified in device_allocate(4).
The following options are supported:
-g dev-type Allocates a non-allocated device with a device-type matching dev-type.
-s Silent. Suppresses any diagnostic output.
-F device Reallocates the device allocated to another user. This option is often used with -U to reallocate a specific device to a
specific user. Only a user with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option.
-U uname Uses the user ID uname instead of the user ID of the current process when performing the allocate operation. Only a user
with the solaris.device.revoke authorization is permitted to use this option.
The following exit values are returned:
non--zero An error occurred.
