Hey,
I'm very very sorry that the cpqfc driver is gone because it was the
_only_ one which supported the now very cheap Compaq FiberChannel Array
RA4X00.
With all other FC HBA's the logical volumes (LUN's) are not visible.
---snip---
5. Compaq RA4x00 firmware version 2.54 and later supports SSP (Selective
Storage Presentation), which maps LUNs to a WWN. If RA4x00 firmware prior
2.54 (e.g. older controller) is used, or the FC HBA is replaced (another WWN
is used), logical volumes on the RA4x00 will no longer be visible.
---snap---
So... there are 3 possibilities:
1. Repair the cpqfc driver and but it again into linux?
2. Find out, how to get the RA4x00 arrays with othet HBA's running; I
searched about 1 week in Google, no way..
3. Aeh.. use... 2.4, use... other OS?
Hope to find a way... and not only kicking a working driver because of not
as nice code and to much stack memory.
bye,
ingo flaschberger
