• Configuring an alternate path on the same 2-port HBA as the primary path

On midrange and high end Integrity servers, if the primary and alternate boot devices are

on the same Fibre Channel HBA port, an attempt to manually boot from the alternate device

will fail.

For example, if your primary and alternate paths are set as follows:

Primary bootpath: 0/0/10/1/0/4/0.8.0.255.0.7.0

Alternate bootpath: 0/0/10/1/0/4/0.8.0.255.0.0.0

This will set the primary and alternate bootpaths, but you will only be able to boot from the

primary path.

Corrective action:The issue can be resolved by following one of the following scenarios:

— From the EFI shell: Manually issue the EFI shell command reconnect —r, before

attempting to boot from the alternate path.

— Online: Use the HP-UX setboot command to swap the primary and alternate boot

devices.

— Hardware configuration: Reconfigure by moving the alternate boot device to a different

HBA

• 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.
