Thanks for replying. Yes, I had found that Qlogic has a similar utility and I can address it there. I'll post more details and the full solution later.
Like most rework - this was caused by someone not following instructions. It isn't that I'm seeking better performance (and I'm very doubtful of the magical slot myth). The client I'm doing work for has a pre-production lab that is supposed to be identical to production in every way. Someone built the system and seems to have randomly put cards in varying slots and PCI bus(s). The VxVM/VCS/SCSI cleanup was fun as well.

Hi!
I just wanted to know what network cards are supported in FreeBSD. I have looked at the list of supported cards but I can't find any of them in the stores. Is the list not updated, I would really preciate info about where (in EU, Sweden) I can buy them.

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.

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.

HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI) Common Fibre Channel HBA Information Library Functions HBA_RefreshInformation(3HBAAPI)
NAME
HBA_RefreshInformation, HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration - refresh information for a specific HBA
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
#include <hbaapi.h>
void HBA_RefreshInformation(HBA_HANDLE handle);
void HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration(void);
PARAMETERS
handle an open handle returned from HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)
DESCRIPTION
The HBA_RefreshInformation() function requests that the underlying VSL reload all information about the given HBA. This function should be
called whenever any function returns HBA_STATUS_ERROR_STALE_DATA, or if an index that was previously valid returns HBA_STATUS_ERROR_ILLE-
GAL_INDEX. Because the underlying VSL can reset all indexes relating to the HBA, all old index values must be discarded by the caller.
The HBA_RefreshAdapterConfiguration() function updates information about the HBAs present on the system. This function does not change any
of the relationships between the HBA API and adapters that have not been reconfigured. HBA handles continue to refer to the same HBA even
if it is no longer installed. The HBA name or index assigned by the library remains assigned to the same HBA even if it has been removed
and reinstalled, as long as the bus position, WWN, and OS device have not changed. Adapter that have been removed and not replaced cannot
have their HBA handles, HBA names, and HBA indexes reassigned. Calls to these adapters will generate HBA_STATUS_ERROR_UNAVAILABLE.
