NAME

       emlxs - Emulex-Sun LightPulse Fibre Channel host bus adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

       SUNW,emlxs

       The emlxs host bus adapter driver is a Sun Fibre  Channel transport layer-compliant nexus driver for the Emulex Light-Pulse family of Fibre
       Channel adapters. These adapters support Fibre Channel SCSI and IP Protocols, FC-AL public loop profile, point-to-point  fabric  connection
       and Fibre Channel service classes two and three.

       The emlxs driver interfaces with the Sun Fibre Channel transport layer to support the standard functions provided by the SCSA interface. It
       supports auto request sense and tagged queueing by default. The driver requires that all devices have  unique  hard  addresses  in  private
       loop configurations. Devices with conflicting hard addresses are not accessible.
