Chapter 3 BIOS Features This chapter provides information pertaining to Intel BIOS and Solaris Fcode and includes these topics: • Section 3.1, “BIOS Features,” page 3-1 • Section 3.2, “Troubleshooting,” page 3-14 3.1 BIOS Features A BIOS is the ROM code that is loaded by the system to facilitate booting from Fibre Channel drives. The BIOS also contains an embedded configuration manager, used to configure options provided by the firmware.
• Boot device selection from any four host adapters • Automatic INT13 drive mapping for Fibre Channel drives 3.1.1.2 BIOS Overview During the boot time initialization, the Intel BIOS determines if there are other hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system BIOS. If there are, the Intel BIOS maps any Intel drives it finds after the drive(s) already installed. Otherwise, the Intel BIOS installs drives starting with the system boot drive.
Note: Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners require that a device driver specific to that peripheral be loaded. The BIOS Configuration Utility does allow parameters to be modified for these devices. 3.1.3 Using the Intel BIOS Configuration Utility This section provides the menu formats and user inputs available to inform users about this utility prior to running it.
display this menu, select a device under Adapter field on the Main menu and press Enter. 3.1.3.3 Persistent IDs Menu The Persistent ID screen is used to review the automatic mapping between a drive WorldWide Name and its assigned logical SCSI bus and target ID. You can also use this screen to force a drive to a specific logical Target ID. Selecting Add WWN at an unused location clears out the associated WWN/DID field and allows you to enter the first 16 characters of the WWN.
3.1.3.5 Boot Adapter List Menu The Boot Adapter List menu specifies the order in which adapters boot when more than one LSI Logic host adapter is in a system. You can select up to four of the total adapters in a system as bootable; however, you can use only one of the four “active” adapters to control a Boot Volume. To select this menu: 1. Press F2 while on the Main menu to move the cursor to the menu area. 2. Move the cursor to Boot Adapter List with the arrow keys. 3. Press Enter.
To exit from the Adapter Properties, Device Properties, Boot Adapter List, or Global Properties menus, use these exit options: Cancel exit This option returns you to the previous menu. Save changes then exit this menu This option implements any changes you made on the previous menu and returns you to the Main menu. Discard changes then exit this menu This option restores the default settings and returns you to the Main menu.
To show all disks available from the openboot prompt, use the probescsi-all command. Note that this command is used whether the disks are Fibre Channel or SCSI; all disks available on all Fusion-MPT devices are displayed.
2. Does the LED on the adapter indicate LINK? (note that LINK is only valid after the device is probed) 3. Does the LED on the switch or remote enclosure indicate LINK? 4. Does the LINK-SPEED parameter selected by the adapter match that of the bus (1G, 2G, or Auto)? If you do not see disks, the following additional debug information may help to identify the problem. 3.1.5.3 Verifying Correct Installation Use this procedure to verify installation of your Fusion-MPT adapter in the system: Step 1.
ok • /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1 identifies the first Fibre Channel interface on an LSI Logic LSIFC929based adapter • /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1,1 identifies the second Fibre Channel interface on an LSI Logic LSIFC929-based adapter • An LSI Logic LSIFC909-based adapter shows only one such Fibre Channel device Note: The above are examples. The output of show-devs may vary depending on your system and configuration. Use the corresponding entries on your system, not the ones given here.

Interrupt coalescing has been set Change will take effect after system reset Note: The system must be power cycled for the changes to take effect. It is not sufficient to execute the reset-all command. 3.1.5.6 Set Fibre Channel Link Speed There are two modes of operation for Fibre Channel, 1 Gbit/s and 2 Gbit/s. It is important to match the speed of the port with the speed of the loop or fabric to which the port is attached.
3.1.5.7 Persistent Device Naming Under certain configurations, such as when the Fibre Channel disk is the boot device of a system, it may be preferable to lock a target disk to a unit number. LSI Logic Fcode allows the system administrator to write a nonvolatile map of IDs to the Fibre Channel controller. The following is an example of how to map devices in the persistent device table.
ok 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. 3.2 Troubleshooting The LSI Logic Intel BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it, you somehow disable all of your controllers, pressing Ctrl-A or Ctrl-E after memory initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and reconfigure.
Chapter 4 Solaris Software Requirements This chapter provides device driver requirements and methods to verify the proper installation of the LSI7202CP, as well as installation instructions for the itmpt Sun SPARC Solaris driver. The chapter includes these topics: • Section 4.1, “Device Driver Software Requirements,” page 4-1 • Section 4.2, “Verifying the Installation,” page 4-1 • Section 4.3, “itmpt Device Driver,” page 4-4 4.
4.2.1 nonvolatileMethod 1 – Using the show-devs Command Step 1. Access the ok prompt. Type the show-devs command: Step 2. The system displays output similar to this: ok show-devs /SUNW,UltraSPARC-III@0,0 /virtual-memory /memory@m0,0 /aliases /options /openprom /chosen /packages /upa@8,480000/SUNW,ffb@0,0 ... /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@2 /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1,1 /pci@8,700000/IntraServer,fc@1 ...
If these devices are not listed, check that the adapter is correctly installed, and re-seat the adapter if necessary. 4.2.2 Method 2 - Using the probe-scsi-all Command Step 1. Access the ok prompt. Type the probe-scsi-all command: Step 2.
If the Fibre Channel disks on your LSI Logic adapter are not identified by your system, check the following: 1. Is the Fibre Channel enclosure powered ON? 2. Does the LED on the adapter indicate LINK? (note that LINK is only valid after the device is probed) 3. Does the LED on the switch or remote enclosure indicate LINK? 4.
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. Execute the pkgadd procedure to add the itmpt driver to the operating system. Example: pkgadd -d floppy/floppy0 You will see the display on the screen as shown in Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2. Figure 4.
