FibrChanl-03 (fcoc) B.11.31.1103.01 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Driver for HP-UX 11i v3 Release Notes

• The HP-UX boot path is lost during un-assign and re-assign of the BL8x0C i2 (Blade) profile.
The scenario that leads to this is:
1. Create a profile and assign it to the blade. Install a SAN disk connected from HBA with
HP-UX on it.
2. Power off the blade.
3. Un-assign the profile from the blade.
4. Power on the blade to EFI shell (bare-metal state).
5. Power off the blade.
6. Re-assign the profile back to the same blade.
7. Power on the blade again.
At this point, the blade should be booted from HP-UX and be up and running. However, the
blade remains in Ignite-UX and waits to be re-installed again.
NOTE: In order to reproduce the problem, a power cycle is necessary between the un-assign
and re-assign profile steps. Without the power cycle between the un-assign and re-assign
profile, the problem does not occur.
• To enable booting through the fcoc driver, there are several steps that needed to be performed.
They involve invoking the FCOC Configuration Utility at the EFI level. These steps need to be
performed only once. They need to be done regardless of the VCM profile settings.
To start the Emulex FCOC Configuration Utility via the Human Interface Infrastructure (HII):
1. Launch the Device Manager. A front page is displayed.
2. Select Emulex Configuration Utility Ver:X.XXXXX and press Enter.
3. When the Emulex Configuration Utility screen is displayed with Emulex Configuration
Setup Utility selected, press Enter.
