• 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.
• Unsolicited and unsupported ELS request from a known target can cause driver to lose its
connection to that target
In certain SAN configurations, if an unsolicited and unsupported ELS request comes in from
a known target, the driver will lose its connection to that target and the disks will show up as
NO_HW in the ioscan output. See QXCR1001145460 for more details. Running the fcmsutil
command with the reset option will restore the connection. A new release of the driver, version
B.11.31.1109.01, will be available in August 2011 to fix this issue. HP strongly recommends
this version of the driver be installed.
