RA8000/ESA12000 HSG80 Solution Software V8.5 for Sun Solaris
Page 12 387372-005 AA–RFBPE–TE
• If you are using Solaris 2.6, you must have patch # 106226-01 loaded, or
format will dump core.
7.2 Solaris 2.7 Support
Solaris 7 (2.7) is supported in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes with this release.
7.3 Per-instance Device Configuration
By default, all instances of a driver for a particular adapter type are configured in
the same mode (FC-SW or FC-AL) depending on the mode selected during
driver installation.
If you must configure different adapter instances in different modes, you may
use Option 20 of config.sh to change the mode for a specific adapter instance.
Note that this functionality has not been extensively tested, so we do not support
it at this time.
7.4 Limitation on Supported sun4m Systems
The only sun4m architecture machines that are supported with this release are the
SPARC 10 and 20. No other sun4m machines are supported.
7.5 Installation Problems on SPARC 10 and 20 Systems
While attempting to load the CPQfcaw driver on a SPARC 10 or 20 system, the
driver may fail to attach, and the following error message will appear on the
console:
WARNING: fca0: fca_alloc_host_data: fca_dma_zalloc
failed (IMQ_queue)
If this happens, you must reboot your server before attempting to load the
CPQhsg80 package. After your server has rebooted, and the fcaw driver has
successfully loaded, you may continue with the CPQhsg80 installation.
7.6 Required Patches
Do not omit the required patches (they are listed on Page 4 of these release
notes). These patches are required for proper operation of your RAID system.
