• Private Loop and Public Loop topology configuration support for Fibre Channel mezzanine adapters Private Loop and Public Loop topology configurations are not supported for Fibre Channel mezzanine adapters on HP Integrity Blade servers in combination with the Fibre Channel (FC) Pass Thru I/O Interconnect modules. These configurations can result in servers losing connection to the Storage Area Network (SAN) during mezzanine adapter initialization, and SAN boot may fail in such configurations.
1. 2. 3. • 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 The solution to this issue is to use the drvcfg -s at the EFI shell prompt, to configure the Emulex EFI driver to always scan the boot devices. 1.
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.

EDC change Newer cards are built with an Engineering Date Code that marks the changes required for Integrity — Integrity-supported versions have an EDC of B-4813 or later. The EDC code is printed on a label on the box containing the card, on a label on the card, and is included in the Vital Products Data (VPD) that is flashed into the card during the manufacture of the part. This means that you will be able to identify a version of the card supported on Integrity both visually and electronically.
EFI version : "ZU6.00A5" Card revision Although EDC is the primary way to identify changes in recipe for Integrity systems, it is also possible to use the card “Rev”, which is printed on a label on the box containing the card, and on a label on the card. CAUTION: There are at least three different “Rev” identifiers on the card. The correct one to use is printed on the SKU label — Integrity-supported versions have a “REV” of 0C or later.
