Based on the "Unknown IOCB command data" message, this appears to be out of date firmware on the adapter. See http://www.emulex.com/ts/indexemu.html. There are some hints on downloading firmware at the tail end of http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1130082&forum_id=355154. Note: lpfc issues are best posted to the help areas on http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpfcxxxx/ Thanks. -- James Smart Emulex > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-scsi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:linux-scsi-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Alex Deucher > Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2005 6:03 PM > To: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Emulex fibre channel HBA support and SAN connection > > > Can someone point me to some documentation on setting up a fibre > channel HBA in linux?
