HBA WWN and other parameters
For IBM HBAs use lscfg –vl fcs(n) (where fcs(n) is from lsdev –Cc
adapter) to get more information about the HBA. For Cambex HBAs use
lscfg –vl fscsi(n) (where fscsi(n) is from lsdev –Cc adapter) to get
more information about the HBA. This provides the Network Address field
(WWN) needed for partitioning and the microcode version (bios) field (Z9). At
this time the current versions of microcode for IBM HBAs is as follows. For the
IBM 6239 HBA, the Z9 field should be
HS1.00X5. For the IBM 6228 HBA, the
Z9 field should be
CS3.91A1. For the IBM 6227 HBA, the Z9 field should be
SS3.30X1. The following example is for the IBM 6239 HBA.
For the latest version of microcode for the IBM HBA, go to the IBM web site for
information on the latest version of released microcode and instructions on
how to upgrade the microcode.
Warning: Do not upgrade microcode from a non-IBM source (e.g. Emulex
web site) since this may disable the card/host.

Running a trace
If there are I/O errors that are causing problems, a trace may be taken by
using the following procedure. Start the trace and perform the failing
operation. Stop the trace as soon as possible after the failing condition in order
to minimize the chances of wrapping the trace. The function starts the AIX
trace facility, so the bos.sysmgmt.trace fileset needs to be installed.
