Emulex FC Mezzannie Card MC-FC82E in blade - driver

[ufoshi]

Hello, I have a problem running the Emulex FC MC-FC82E card on the Fujitsu BX920 s2 blade machine. Freenas installed with no problem, I can see the FC card but I can't get the isp0 interface. Unfortunately, it is not possible to install a qlogic card because this platform does not support them. Maybe there is some way to run this card in this configuration. I will add that the card is detected by the system. Thank you for your help.

I don't know if this will work, as the MC-FC82E emulates an LPe12002, but you could try loading the ocs_fc driver via loader tunable ocs_fc_load="YES" and rebooting. The man page for ocs_fc says this driver supports:

Code:

HARDWARE
     The ocs_fc    driver supports    these Fibre Channel adapters:

       Emulex 16/8G    FC GEN 5 HBAS

             LPe15004 FC Host Bus Adapters
             LPe160XX FC Host Bus Adapters

       Emulex 32/16G FC GEN    6 HBAS

             LPe3100X FC Host Bus Adapters
             LPe3200X FC Host Bus Adapters

It might supprt your FC card. The isp driver only supports

OK i have something like that:

Code:

freenas# ctladm port -l
Port Online Frontend Name     pp vp
0    YES    ioctl    ioctl    0  0
1    YES    tpc      tpc      0  0
2    NO     camsim   camsim   0  0  naa.500000092989a303
3    YES    iscsi    iscsi    1  1  ssd.freenas3.tom

If isp is for qlogic what name have emulex in this case?

 

[Samuel Tai]

The only Emulex drivers available are esp and ocs_fc. Esp seems to be geared towards physical SCSI controllers, and ocs_fc towards FC controllers.

 

[ufoshi]

OK ill try ocs_fc.
Il put lines to /boot/device.hints

Code:

hint.ocs_fc.0.initiator="1"  enable
hint.ocs_fc.1.initiator="1" enable
hint.ocs_fc.0.target="1" enable
hint.ocs_fc.1.target="1" enable
hint.ocs_fc.0.topology="0"   - mean auto
hint.ocs_fc.1.topology="0"   - mean auto
hint.ocs_fc.0.speed="0"   - mean auto
hint.ocs_fc.1.speed="0"  - mean auto

in sysctl i add:

i have this :

Code:

freenas# ctladm port -l
Port Online Frontend Name     pp vp
0    YES    ioctl    ioctl    0  0
1    YES    tpc      tpc      0  0
2    NO     camsim   camsim   0  0  naa.500000092989a303
3    YES    iscsi    iscsi    1  1  ssd.freenas3.tom

its possible to chech this in different way?

 

[Samuel Tai]

You also need a loader tunable ocs_fc_load="YES". I don't think your changes to device.hints will stick. These only take effect after reboot.

 

[ufoshi]

Its no effect. any ideas?

 

[Samuel Tai]

Sorry, this FC adapter doesn't appear to be supported.
