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. 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.
