Configuring qlogic fcas with the qla2300 driver – HP EVA P6000 Storage User Manual

7.
Reboot the server to implement the changes to the configuration files.
8.
If LUNs have been preconfigured in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file, use the devfsadm
command to perform LUN rediscovery after configuring the file.
NOTE:
The lpfc driver is not supported for Oracle StorEdge Traffic Manager/Oracle Storage
Multipathing. To configure an Emulex FCA using the Oracle SAN driver stack, see
FCAs with the Oracle SAN driver stack” (page 62)
.
Configuring QLogic FCAs with the qla2300 driver
See the latest Enterprise Virtual Array release notes or contact your HP representative to determine
which QLogic FCAs and which driver version HP supports with the qla2300 driver. To configure
QLogic FCAs with the qla2300 driver:
1.
Ensure that you have the latest supported version of the qla2300 driver (see
).
2.
You must sign up for an HP Passport to enable access. For more information on how to use
SPOCK, see the Getting Started Guide (
.
3.
Edit the following parameters in the /kernel/drv/qla2300.conf driver configuration file
to set up the FCAs for a SAN infrastructure (HBA0 is used in the example but the parameter
edits apply to all HBAs):
NOTE:
If you are using a Oracle-branded QLogic FCA, the configuration file is
\kernel\dri\qlc.conf
.
hba0-connection-options=1;
hba0-link-down-timeout=60;
hba0-persistent-binding-configuration=1;
NOTE:
If you are using Solaris 10, editing the persistent binding parameter is not required.
4.
If using a single FCA and no multipathing, edit the following parameters to reduce the risk of
data loss in case of a controller reboot:
hba0-login-retry-count=60;
hba0-port-down-retry-count=60;
hba0-port-down-retry-delay=2;
The hba0-port-down-retry-delay parameter is not supported with the 4.13.01 driver;
the time between retries is fixed at approximately 2 seconds.
5.
In a fabric topology, use persistent bindings to bind a SCSI target ID to the world wide port
name (WWPN) of an array port. This ensures that the SCSI target IDs remain the same when
the system reboots. Set persistent bindings by editing the configuration file or by using the
SANsurfer
utility.
NOTE:
Persistent binding is not required for QLogic FCAs if you are using Solaris10.
The following example for a P63x0/P65x0 EVA illustrates the binding of targets 20 and 21
(hba instance 0) to WWPNs 50001fe100270938 and 50001fe100270939, and the binding
of targets 30 and 31 (hba instance 1) to WWPNs 50001fe10027093a and
50001fe10027093b:
hba0-SCSI-target-id-20-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe100270938";
hba0-SCSI-target-id-21-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe10027093a";
hba1-SCSI-target-id-30-fibre-channel-port-name="50001fe100270939";
