This issue will be addressed in a future system firmware update. It can be caused by entering

the EFI shell without having configured boot devices in the EFI driver's configuration screens.

There are three workarounds for this issue:

— 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

Use drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt, to configure the Emulex EFI driver to always

manage the boot devices.

1. To view the Emulex driver handle information, at the EFI shell prompt type: drivers

– – a list of drivers is displayed.

2. Write down the driver handle associated with the Emulex SCSI Pass Thru Driver. The

first column, labelled DRV, lists the driver handles.

3. Enter the drvcfg -s <driver handle> command; for example, if the driver handle

is 20 (your driver handle may be different): Shell> drvcfg -s 20. Information is

displayed, listing all of the HBAs in your system; your listings may vary, depending

upon how many HBAs are installed in your system.

4. Using the arrow keys, locate the HBA that you want to configure, select (i.e., highlight)

the corresponding row, and press Enter.

5. Select (highlight) the Setup Utility option and press Enter.

6. Select (highlight) the Configure Boot Parameters option and press Enter.

7. Select (highlight) the Boot Target Scan option and press Enter.

8. Select one of the scanning policies from the list presented:

— The Boot Path from NVRAM Targets option, which is the default option, requires

additional configuration in the Configure Boot Devices option on the previous menu.

Using this scanning policy, you can enter a list of particular targets and LUNs that

you would like the EFI driver to search for potential devices.

— Other policies, such as the Boot Path Discovered Devices policy, do not limit the scan

to particular devices, and may take several minutes to complete, depending upon

the size of the SAN.

9. After completing your scanning policy selection and configuration, use the ESC key to

exit the EFI configuration menus.

• Host bus adapters using the fclp HP-UX driver stay in AWAITING LINK UP state when

connected to a DS2500 device

The solution to this issue is to set the speed of the adapter port to 2 Gb, by using the drvcfg

-s command at the EFI shell prompt, to configure the port speed:

1. To view the Emulex driver handle information, type Shell> drivers at the EFI shell

prompt - - a list of drivers is displayed.
