• Using ioscan with krm Not Running

When ioscan is run with the —fn or —Fn option, and the kernel resource monitor (krm) is

not running, there could be stale krm device files in the system, which would correspond

to different devices, including fclp, in ioscan output. This issue has no impact on the

functionality of the Fibre Channel port; however, ioscan output may be confusing. This

issue can impact any card accessible with ioscan, and is not specific to the cards supported

by the fclp driver.

Corrective Action:The ioscan output can be returned to normal by either deleting the stale

krm device files, or by starting krm, which will recreate the device files.
