Chapter 3 Software Installation This chapter describes the features and use of the LSI Logic/IntraServer device drivers for the Solaris operating system 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8. This chapter includes these topics: • Section 3.1, “Installing the Sun SPARC Solaris Fusion-MPT™ Drivers,” page 3-1 • Section 3.2, “Installing the itmpt Sun SPARC Solaris FC Driver,” page 3-7 • Section 3.3, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-15 For the most up-to-date information on drivers, please visit: http://www.intraserver.
3.1.1 Features The following features of the LSI40909G-S minimize CPU utilization: • Uses state of the art Fusion-MPT interface, providing support for FC, SCSI, and RAID devices with a single binary image. • Provides highly efficient, low CPU usage architecture. • Multiport functionality minimizes slot usage. • 66 MHz/64-bit PCI interface provides maximum I/O bandwidth. • Supports multiple host adapters. • Supports scatter/gather. • Supports multiprocessor environments. 3.1.
Step 2. When the banner is displayed, press the Stop-A keys to interrupt the boot process and stop at the ok prompt. Step 3. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices. You should see an output similar to the following example, as shown in Figure 3.1: Figure 3.
3.1.4 Identifying the FC Disks The probe-scsi-all command is used to identify the FC disk devices on your LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter, as shown in Figure 3.2. Figure 3.2 FC Disk Devices Listing ok probe-scsi-all /pci@1f,0/pci@1/IntraServer,Ultra2-scsi@1 Target 0 Unit 0 Disk IBM DNES-309170W SA30 /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@2/IntraServer,fc@7 MPT Firmware Version 1.
If the FC disks on your LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter are not identified by your system, check the following: 1. Are all the FC cables correctly connected to the disk enclosure? 2. Is the disk enclosure powered up? 3. If the external disk enclosure required a loopback connector, is the loopback connector correctly installed? 3.1.5 Persistent Device Naming Under certain configurations, such as when the FC disk is the boot device of a system, it may be preferable to lock a target disk to a unit number.

Type ^Y (Control-Y) to insert it in the command line. e.g.
To clear an entry in the persistent device map, use the clear-persistent command, as shown in Figure 3.4: Figure 3.4 ok Clearing an Entry 1 clear-persistent Entry 1 has been cleared ok show-persistent ok Entry 1 has been deleted from the table, and the table is now empty. 3.1.6 itmpt Device Driver The LSI Logic/IntraServer itmpt driver is designed to Sun Microsystems SCSA specifications for device drivers.
3.2.1.1 Floppy Disk Install If you received the drivers on a floppy diskette, follow these steps: Step 1. Place the diskette in the floppy drive and execute the volcheck command to ensure the system sees the floppy. Step 2. Change the directory to the root of the floppy (e.g. "cd /floppy/floppy0"). Step 3. Execute the pkgadd procedure to add the itmpt driver to the operating system. Example: pkgadd(space)-d(space). You will see the display on the screen as shown in Figure 3.5 through Figure 3.7.
Figure 3.5 pkgadd Procedure The following packages are available: 1 TImpt LSI Logic/IntraServer FusionMPT(tm) Fibrechannel/SCSI drivers (sparc) itmpt kit version 1.1 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages).

Figure 3.8 /kernel/drv/ssd.conf Example: With just the default entry for each target in /kernel/drv/ssd.conf, only devices at LUN 0 will be probed.
3.2.2 Network Installation Procedure If you are using your LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter to support your Sparc Solaris system disk, you must install the Solaris operating system using a network install. This section describes a complete installation of Solaris to a client system using LSI Logic/IntraServer FC adapters for the system disk.
cd /floppy/floppy0 Step 3. Execute the install.sh shell script to add the itmpt driver to the boot installation area: ./install.sh –n /export/home/install/Solaris_2.7 Notes: • For Solaris 2.8 boot files, the directory would be /export/home/install/Solaris_2.8. • The message “major number maximum based on server, not client” can safely be ignored. Running the install.
Note: You can obtain the platform_group from a machine of the same type as the target client using the uname –m command. 3.2.2.4 Booting the Client Using the itmpt FC Driver Now you can begin the installation of the Solaris operating system to the client target machine using the boot and install server.
Notes: The message “major number maximum based on server, not client” can safely be ignored. Your Sun machine will prompt you to allow power saving automatic shutdown. You must answer no to this question if you are using the LSI Logic/IntraServer adapter to support your boot disk. If you change the disk drive configuration of your machine, it may be necessary to issue the command: touch /reconfigure and then reboot the system in order for the system to detect and correctly install your new disks. 3.
Table 3.2 Error Messages (Cont.) Error Messages Explanation itmpt: Could not allocate The driver was unable to allocate memory required to process memory to read configuration data. the configuration data. This means that the configuration was not properly determined. To fix this you may need to manually configure the driver using the itmpt.conf file. itmpt: Unable to make reset notification callbacks. The itmpt was unable to notify the target device driver of a bus reset.
Table 3.2 Error Messages (Cont.) Error Messages Explanation itmpt: The adapter is malfunctioning or is of an unknown type. The driver is not able to communicate with the hardware. You may need to update your driver or your hardware. itmpt: The adapter is malfunctioning. – itmpt: Failed to create minor node required for DMI interface. The driver was unable to create an entry point for the DMI device driver. If you are not using the DMI device driver then you may safely ignore this message.
