With the introduction of Solaris 10, storage management has changed considerably. The storage foundation kit is now integrated into the base OS, the leadville driver has been expanded to include HBAs from Emulex, JNI and Qlogic, and the fcinfo utility as well as several mdb DCMDS were added to view fibre channel connectivity information. fcinfo is especially useful, since it provides a tool with the base Operating System to view HBA and connectivity information.
Maybe can you compare the /etc/release of your servers and update us?

I understand that fcinfo hba-port should show information(WWN, HBA vendor, etc..) but my result show "No adapter found". If I used grep -i 'version' /var/adm/messages* then I see my installed HBA (QLogic FCode at 2.00.09).. I am wondering why and what I had failed to install?
Thanks in advance.... (23 Replies)
