6 fp - Sun Fibre Channel port driver
7
9 The fp driver is a Sun fibre channel nexus driver that enables fibre
10 channel topology discovery, device discovery, fibre channel adapter
11 port management and other capabilities through well-defined fibre chan‐
12 nel adapter driver interfaces.
13
14
15 The fp driver requires the presence of a fabric name server in fabric
16 and public loop topologies to discover fibre channel devices. In pri‐
17 vate loop topologies, the driver discovers devices by performing PLOGI
18 to all valid AL_PAs, provided that devices do not participate in LIRP
19 and LILP stages of loop initialization. The fp driver also discovers
20 devices in N_Port point-to-point topologies.
21
23 The fp driver is configured by defining properties in the fp.conf
24 file. Note that you must reboot the system to have any changes you make
25 to fp.conf take effect. The fp driver supports the following proper‐
26 ties:
27
28 mpxio-disable
29
30 Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on fibre channel
31 devices with the mpxio-disable property. Specifying mpxio-dis‐
32 able="no" activates I/O multipathing, while mpxio-disable="yes"
33 disables the feature. Solaris I/O multipathing may be enabled or
34 disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings override the global
35 setting for the specified ports. The following example shows how to
36 disable multipathing on port 0 whose parent is
37 /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4:
38
39 name="fp" parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4" port=0
40 mpxio-disable="yes";
41

43
44 manual_configuration_only
45
46 Automatic configuration of SCSI devices in the fabric is enabled by
47 default and thus allows all devices discovered in the SAN zone to
48 be enumerated in the kernel's device tree automatically. The man‐
49 ual_configuration_only property may be configured to disable the
50 default behavior and force the manual configuration of the devices
51 in the SAN. Specifying manual_configuration_only=1 disables the
52 automatic configuration of devices.
53
54
55 pwwn-lun-blacklist
56
57 Allows you to specify target port WWNs and LUN numbers you do not
58 want configured. LUN numbers are interpreted as decimals. White
59 spaces and commas (',') can be used in the list of LUN numbers.
60
61 #
62 # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
63 # "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
64 #
65 # To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
66 # port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:
67 #
68 # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
69 # "510000f010fd92a1,1,2",
70 # "510000e012079df1,1,2";

138 In N_Port point-to-point topologies, FCP error recovery does not work
139 across events such as link bounce/cable pull. I/O to devices with
140 FCP-2/FCP-3 support (for example, FC tape drives) will be disrupted by
141 such events.
