Full Discussion: Autostart of LPAR
Operating Systems AIX Autostart of LPAR Post 302259440 by shockneck on Tuesday 18th of November 2008 05:59:51 AM

Autostart of an LPAR should not result in any problems as long as every resource the LPAR needs is available at boottime. As long as you use dedicated disk and adapter devices from your p4/p5whatever this should almost never be a problem. However, I have seen this being a problem with VIO and SAN disk devices that where not accessible in time. I.e. make sure that you set up your environment in a way that there are no potential obstacles in the LPAR's boot process.

CISS(4) 						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						   CISS(4)

NAME
ciss -- Common Interface for SCSI-3 Support driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device scbus device ciss Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): ciss_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver claims to provide a common interface between generic SCSI transports and intelligent host adapters. The ciss driver supports CISS as defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04, Valence Number 1, dated 2000/11/27, produced by Compaq Computer Corporation. We provide a shim layer between the ciss interface and CAM(4), offloading most of the queueing and being-a-disk chores onto CAM. Entry to the driver is via the PCI bus attachment ciss_probe(), ciss_attach(), etc. and via the CAM interface ciss_cam_action(), and ciss_cam_poll(). The Compaq ciss adapters require faked responses to get reasonable behavior out of them. In addition, the ciss command set is by no means adequate to support the functionality of a RAID controller, and thus the supported Compaq adapters utilize portions of the control protocol from earlier Compaq adapter families. Currently ciss only supports the ``simple'' transport layer over PCI. This interface (ab)uses the I2O register set (specifically the post queues) to exchange commands with the adapter. Other interfaces are available, but we are not supposed to know about them, and it is dubious whether they would provide major performance improvements except under extreme load. Non-disk devices (such as internal DATs and devices attached to the external SCSI bus) are supported as normal CAM devices provided that they are exported by the controller firmware and are not marked as being masked. Masked devices can be exposed by setting the hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical tunable to non-zero at boot time. Direct Access devices (such as disk drives) are only exposed as pass(4) devices. Hot-insertion and removal of devices is supported but a bus rescan might be necessary. The problem which adapter freezes with the message ``ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED'' might be solved by updating the firmware and/or setting the hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat tunable to non-zero at boot time. HARDWARE
Controllers supported by the ciss driver include: o Compaq Smart Array 5300 o Compaq Smart Array 532 o Compaq Smart Array 5i o HP Smart Array 5312 o HP Smart Array 6i o HP Smart Array 641 o HP Smart Array 642 o HP Smart Array 6400 o HP Smart Array 6400 EM o HP Smart Array E200 o HP Smart Array E200i o HP Smart Array P212 o HP Smart Array P400 o HP Smart Array P400i o HP Smart Array P410 o HP Smart Array P410i o HP Smart Array P411 o HP Smart Array P600 o HP Smart Array P800 o HP Smart Array P812 o HP Modular Smart Array 20 (MSA20) o HP Modular Smart Array 500 (MSA500) SEE ALSO
