FibrChanl-01 (fcd) B.11.31.1105 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver for HP-UX 11i v3 Release

Known problems and limitations
This section provides a list of known problems and limitations as known to HP at time of publication.
If workarounds are available, they are included.
• EFI boot fails when connected to an Arbitrated Loop device
This applies to HP 8Gb and 4Gb 2 Port QLogic Mezzanine HBA s (part numbers 451871–B21
and 403619–B21). The solution is to set the HBA Connection Mode of the adapter port to
Loop Preferred, Otherwise Point to Point, by using the drvcfg -s command
at the EFI shell prompt:
1. To view the QLogic driver handle information, type Shell> drivers at the EFI shell
prompt; a list of drivers is displayed.
2. Write down the driver handle associated with the HP Fibre Channel Driver. The
first column, labeled DRV, lists the driver handles. There may be one or more driver
instances listed. Select the DRV corresponding to the adapter port connected to the
Arbitrated Loop device.
3. Enter the drvcfg <driver handle> command; for example, if the driver handle is
20 (your driver handle may be different): Shell> drvcfg 20.
Take note of the controller handle number inside the brackets labeled as Ctlr[] .
4. Enter the drvcfg -s <driver handle> <controller handle> command. The
Driver Configuration Main Menu will be displayed.
5. Under NVRAM Parameters section, press 1 to select Edit Adapter Settings
option.
6. Press 7 to select the Connection Option.
7. Press 3 to select Loop Preferred, Otherwise Point to Point option.
8. Press 0 to go back to the previous menu.
9. Under Main Menu, press 11 to write the changes to the NVRAM.
10. Also under Main Menu, press 12 to quit and go back to the EFI shell.
• Some PCIe I/O backplanes do not support PCIe2 (5.0 GT/s) cards on slots 3 and 4
PCIe I/O backplanes with product number AD295A #200 on rx3600, AD296A #200 on
rx6600, and upgrade product number AD298A for both rx3600 and rx6600 Integrity servers,
do not support PCIe2 (5.0 GT/s) cards on slots 3 and 4. PCIe2 cards will not be seen when
seated in these slots.
PCIe I/O backplanes with the product numbers AD295A #300, AD296A #300, and AD230A,
do support PCIe2 cards on slots 3 and 4. PCIe2 cards will be seen, and will run in PCIe mode
(2.5 GT/s) when seated in these slots.
Both backplanes will be able to support PCIe2 cards running in PCIe mode on slots 5 and 6.
To determine the installed backplane using the FRU ID:
1. Establish a telnet session with the iLO MP.
2. Logon to the iLO MP using the Admin password.
3. Type CM to enter the Command Menu.
4. Type DF to enter the Display FRU Information Menu.
5. Type S to display a list of specific FRUs.
6. Type 05 for the I/O Assembly FRU.
◦ For AD295A #200, AD296A #200, and AD298A, the Product Name displays as:
10 Slot PCI-E IOBP
◦ For AD295A #300, AD296A #300, and AD230A, the Product Name displays as:
10 Slot PCI-E 1.1 IOBP
