Did the system boot via the FC link which is now down?
Do you know from which disk it should boot?
It is possible that the proper boot disk is local disk0 which has sustained filesystem damage during the power cut. You may need to boot from DVD and fsck this filesystem. If that doesn't work you may need to recover some files from backup. It is likely that the FC link is down as far as the SC is concerned because Solaris isn't running and the QLogic driver isn't therefore loaded.
I have logged in at the ILOM management port of this blade and I found a fault, but I dont know if this fault its hardware or software:
I have started the fault management shell:
Code:
-> start /CMM/faultmgmt/shell
Are you sure you want to start /CMM/faultmgmt/shell (y/n)? y
faultmgmtsp> fmadm faulty -r
/CH/BL0 degraded
/CH/BL3 degraded

but I will leave this comment here in case someone is useful
In case of Solaris boot from SAN, for any Storage Brand, is necessary execute additional steps in the OPENBOOT prompt, basically this steps are related to configure the FC HBA at low level, in order to indicate the FC topology and select the boot disk from the HBA level. When you set the ID disk in the HBA level, then the FC link come up.
The steps to config the HBA in the OPENBOOT prompt depend of any HBA brand/model.
There are manuals of Emulex and QLOGIC with this information.
Only to put a short example, for EMULEX.
NOTE *****
This is just a fragment of the manual, please review the complete procedure.
Code:
Specify the topology for the target Fibre Channel boot disk:
a. At the OK> prompt, type the following and press ENTER
" <device path name>" select-dev
(Example: " /pci@1f,4000/lpfc@4" select-dev)
b. At the OK> prompt, type the appropriate command and press ENTER:
FC-AL: set-fc-al
FC-SW: set-ptp
c. At the OK> prompt, type unselect-dev and press ENTER
Follow these steps to set the boot device ID:
At the OK> prompt, type
" /pci@1f,4000/lpfc@4" select-dev and press ENTER.
At the OK> prompt, type the appropriate command and press ENTER:
FC-AL: did e4 0 2 set-boot-id
FC-SW: wwpn 5006.0482.bbff.4e0f 0 2 set-boot-id

We will be buying new Xeon E5-based servers for our datacenter and were wondering which Fibre Channel host bus adapters we should select for these. The choices are Emulex or QLogic (8Gb FC HBAs). Anybody have any recommendations on which is the better choice?
Thanks in advance. (1 Reply)
