Ouch. Each phy has the same SAS address?
For all boards? Ever?
Not sure if that's a good idea, nor even valid.
It'll confuse the hell out of any SAS array.
Please provide a means of having individual SAS addresses for each
HBA.

Hello,
Are you saying we should be getting the SAS address from fw with
sas_request_addr() or the like?
Marvell solution seems to hardcode it.
Doesn't make it any better, nor even valid.
Problem is that using a hardcoded SAS address makes it impossible
do any resource allocation on a SAS target array.
The SAS target array is allocating / mapping the LUNs based on the
SAS address, so if HBAs from different machines coming in with the
same SAS address the SAS array will assume that all ports belong to
the same machine, thus allowing access to all of them.
And don't try to _ever_ connect these HBAs to a SAS switch; that
will be even more confused.
So please, if you have a chance _DO_ get the SAS address from fw.
If the firmware doesn't provide it you really should get in touch
with the firmware team to get you one.
To clarify the situation the SAS spec states:
Device names are worldwide unique names for devices within a
transport protocol (see SAM-3).
and:
The VENDOR - SPECIFIC IDENTIFIER contains a 36-bit numeric value
that is uniquely assigned by the organization associated with the
company identifier in the IEEE COMPANY ID field.
So as you are using the Huawei Vendor ID Huawei as a company needs
to ensure uniqueness of the vendor-specific identifier (ie the last
36 bits of the SAS address). Which the above patch most patently
fails to address.
Cheers,
Hannes
Hi,
OK, we can look at adding the ability to read the SAS HBA address from a
FW image or EFI variables.
Thanks,
John
