Issue Situation Resolution
The System Cannot
mount or fsck
/etc/vfstab a FC
Boot Disk (Solaris
LPFC Driver) During the boot process, the
system cannot mount or fsck
/etc/vfstab a FC boot disk. Make sure that persistent binding is implemented
correctly.
A Loaded File Is Not
Executable (Solaris
LPFC Driver) After entering boot disk, a
message states that the file that
was loaded is not executable. The boot block may not be installed correctly to the FC
drive. See “Configure Boot from SAN on Solaris LPFC
(SPARC)” on page 16.
The System Hangs or
Reboots After
Displaying Driver
Information (Solaris
LPFC Driver) The system hangs for a long time
after displaying driver
information, or it reboots after
displaying driver information. Possible incorrect topology set in the
/kernel/drv/lpfc.conf file on the target disk.
FC Disk Is Not Found
(Solaris LPFC Driver) You have performed the setup
tasks and the FC disk is not found
when you reboot the system. If the FC disk is not found when the system is rebooted, it
may be necessary to do the following:
1) Type “cfgadm -a” to list the target.
2) Type “cfgadm -vc configure
c1::c5t2200002037AE0091” to configure the FC target.
3) Type “cfgadm -c unconfigure c1” to remove the FC
target.
It may also be necessary to add an entry for the boot
drive to the sd.conf file.
The Displayed List of
Emulex Adapters
Ends with
“fibre-channel”
(Solaris LPFC Driver) After all Emulex adapters have
been enabled to boot from SAN,
the system has been rebooted,
and you show all system devices,
the path to an Emulex adapter
ends with “fibre-channel”, for
example:
/pci@1f,2000/fibre-channel
instead of “lpfc@#”, for
example:
/pci@1f,4000/lpfc@2 The OpenBoot code is not loaded in the adapter’s
firmware. You must install OpenBoot before you can set
up boot from SAN on the adapter. See “Install, Update,
and Enable Boot Code” on page 22.
