Extracting HBA Card Hardware info
Hello,



I am very new to solaris so please bear with me. I have 2 machines in question. For both I am trying to get the HBA Card Hardware information such as:
  • HBA Model Name
  • HBA Firmware version
  • HBA Port details
  • HBA Driver details
First machine is a Solaris 10. When I execute fcinfo hba-port, I get the following output:
Code:
[xxx@xxx/~]$ fcinfo hba-port
No Adapters Found.

But then, if I were to do prtconf -v | grep lpfc, I get this:
Code:
[xxx@xxx/~]$ prtconf -v | grep lpfc | more
        lpfc, instance #0
                    dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1:devctl
                        dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0:devctl
                        dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0:fc
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:a
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:a,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:b
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:b,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:c
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:c,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:d
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:d,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0/ssd@w50060482d52e7f57,164:e
                            dev_path=/pci@8,600000/lpfc@1/fp@0,0...7f57,164:e,raw
                            ...

I thought no adapters are installed? then why do I get the above output? Isnt lpfc an HBA driver? I also tried prtconf -v | grep qlc and results in the following:
Code:
[xxx@xxx/~]$ prtconf -v | grep qlc
        SUNW,qlc, instance #0
                    value='NAME=qlc(0)' + '0=Device D3 State' + '3=Device D0 State'
                    dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2:devctl
                        dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:devctl
                        dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0:fc
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:a

                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:b

                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:c
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:c,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:d
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:d,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:e
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:e,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:f
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:f,raw
                            dev_path=/pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w21000014c3e53a55,0:g
                             ...

The second machine, is a Solaris 8. I tried luxadm - e port, and got the following:
Code:
[xxx@xxx/xxx]$ luxadm -e port
 Error: failed to initialize driver - socal.
 Error: failed to initialize driver - fp.
 Error: failed to initialize driver - ifp.
 
Found path to 0 HBA ports

and then also prtconf -vp | grep wwn and got the following:
Code:
[xxx@xxx/xxx]$ prtconf -vp | grep wwn
            port_wwn:
            node_wwn:
            port_wwn:
            node_wwn:

Can I safely assume that the 2nd machine running on Solaris 8 does not have any HBA cards installed? I could not run scli as it says command not found.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.

ok, so for all the above commands to work correctly for both Solaris 10 and 8, I need to be root?

i tried sudo but got denied...i guess i need to raise a request to get that level of access...

well if this is the problem, thanks for the help, i'll keep trying after i get sudo access.
