FIGURE 2-1 Pulling Out the HBA Lever 4. Insert the HBA into its slot, being careful that the tooth on the bottom of the lever does not come into contact with the chassis sheet metal during insertion. 5. When the HBA is inserted nearly all the way into its slot, push the lever back into its fully closed position, allowing the lever tooth to insert the HBA fully into place.
▼ To Connect the Optical Cable Note – The HBA does not allow normal data transmission on an optical link unless it is connected to another similar or compatible Fibre Channel (FC) product (that is, multimode to multimode). Use multimode fiber-optic cable, which is intended for short-wave lasers, that adheres to the specifications in TABLE 2-1.

Testing the Installation This section contains the following topics: ■ “To Verify Proper Installation (for the Solaris OS)” on page 17 ■ “To Verify Attached Storage (for the Solaris OS)” on page 17 ▼ To Verify Proper Installation (for the Solaris OS) 1. Use the cfgadm command to verify proper HBA installation.
2. If an HBA is shown as unconfigured, use the cfgadm -c configure command to configure it. Configuring the HBA for Hot-Plug Operation 1. Locate the green Power LED indicator near the bottom of the HBA front panel (see FIGURE 2-3 for LED location). Power LED indicator status is shown in TABLE 2-6.
Removing the Hardware The following procedures describe how to remove the HBA. Refer to your system installation or service manual for detailed HBA removal instructions. The hardware removal process involves the following general steps: 1. Either halting the operating system and removing power from the server blade, or preparing the HBA for hot-plug removal with one of the following: ■ The HBA Attention button ■ The Solaris OS 2. Removing the HBA hardware.
1. Use the cfgadm command to identify the HBA to be removed. cfgadm Ap_Id pcie5 pcie6 Type fibre/hp fibre/hp Receptacle connected connected Occupant configured configured Condition ok ok 2. Use the cfgadm -c unconfigure command to unconfigure the attachment point ID (Ap_Id) for the HBA. 3. Use the cfgadm -c disconnect command to prepare the HBA for removal. A flashing Power indicator LED indicates that the HBA is being prepared for removal.
CHAPTER 3 HBA Software Installation After you have completed the hardware installation and powered on the computer, follow the instructions listed in this chapter for your operating system to install the HBA driver and any other utilities required for the installation.
■ Self-test ■ Loopback tests ■ External ■ Internal, single-bit ■ Internal, 10-bit ■ Mailbox Installing Software for the Red Hat and SUSE Linux OSes No updates are required to support the HBA on minimum supported versions of Linux. For diagnostic support, you might need to rebuild the Linux driver. Before rebuilding the drivers for Linux, you must have the required Linux OS installed on the hard disk.
7. Install the driver for Linux as described in the Emulex driver and utilities user guide. 8. Install the management utilities as described in the Emulex driver and utilities user guide. ▼ To Install the HBA Software for the VMware Technology The management utilities are available for download at the Emulex support site for Sun Microsystems. You must obtain the drivers from VMware. 1. Go to the Emulex support site for Sun Microsystems at: http://www.emulex.com/sun/support/em-e11000.jsp 2.
▼ To Install the Software for the Windows Server 2003 OS 1. Go to the Emulex support site for Sun Microsystems at: http://www.emulex.com/sun/support/em-e11000.jsp 2. Locate the driver section for Windows. 3. Download the Driver Kit by clicking Download. 4. Click PDF Manual to download the installation guide for the Windows OS. 5. Install the driver and management utilities for the Windows OS as described in the installation guide.
CHAPTER 4 Known Issues This chapter contains the latest supplementary information for the preceding chapters in this guide. There are no known issues with this release.
The PEM Might Not Come Online on a Sun Blade T6300 or T6320 System (6683536) In rare circumstances, after a Sun Blade T6300 or T6320 system has gone through several reboots, the Pluggable Express Module (PEM) on the system might not come online. With this PEM offline, the system cannot detect all devices that are connected to the system. Workaround - Reboot the system again, which enables the PEM service to come back online.
