The title is a bit misleading, but it seems I can't re-edit the title after creating the post - apologies.
I have been handed a variety of servers, whereas quite a few of these are older FreeBSD (4.8, thank you legacy). I now have one of these servers which has a HBA card installed, and I'd like to find its WWN.
On Solaris and HP-UX this would be a rather simple task with fcinfo and ioscan, but as to do it on FreeBSD leaves me a bit perplexed after some google'ing. The advice which keeps coming back is to boot the server with "boot -v", but I really can't see it should be necessary to boot the server to get a simple value.
What I have found so far is this cumbersome and it doesn't really pin the tail on the donkey:
See if a HBA card's installed
Ok, fine - no WWN there but we know there's something there! Next, I peak in /var/run/dmesg.boot:
Again, nothing conclusive. I next grep'd for "WWN" in the same file, which yielded several WWN's, in hexadecimal format, and there was several, about 6-7 and there is literally no way to map these WWN to their respective devices.
Do any of you have a good idea of what tool(s) to use (or install) in order to make this a bit more trivial? So far, google haven't really been overly helpful. I really just want to be able to map WWN <-> device without having to reinvent the wheel.
Thanks in advance,
/b

hi all,
I am trying to view the hba cards on a rhel7 server (storage says they are there, but I am not seeing them.
I tried lspci -nn | grep -i hba
lspci |grep qla
I tried looking in /sys/class/fc_host.. but it is empty.
I am not sure if I am looking in the right spot... (0 Replies)

Hello there,
My mulithreaded application (which is too large to represent the source code here) is crashing after installing FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE/amd64.
It worked properly on others machines (Dual Cores with 4GB of RAM - FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE/i386).
The current machine has 2x Core 2 Duo... (1 Reply)

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.

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.

Has anyone ever relocated an HBA card after already having it configured in another PCI slot? I've found that the HBA instance #'s start incrementing past the previous. It results in me having to have my instance numbers in /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf be 4,5,6,7 instead of 0,1,2,3. Cleanup with... (5 Replies)
