1. 2. 3. • Return to the Boot Manager, enter and exit the EFI shell a second time, and retry the boot; or, Reset the system and retry the boot; or, Configure the EFI driver to always map the boot devices using the drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt. Fibre channel devices do not appear in the EFI shell The solution to this issue is to use the drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt, to configure the Emulex EFI driver to always man the boot devices. 1.
9. • After completing your selection, use the ESC key to exit the EFI configuration menus. 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.
