8 fp \- Sun Fibre Channel port driver
12 The \fBfp\fR driver is a Sun fibre channel nexus driver that enables fibre
13 channel topology discovery, device discovery, fibre channel adapter port
14 management and other capabilities through well-defined fibre channel adapter
18 The \fBfp\fR driver requires the presence of a fabric name server in fabric and
19 public loop topologies to discover fibre channel devices. In private loop
20 topologies, the driver discovers devices by performing \fBPLOGI\fR to all valid
21 \fBAL_PA\fRs, provided that devices do not participate in \fBLIRP\fR and
22 \fBLILP\fR stages of loop initialization. The \fBfp\fR driver also discovers
23 devices in N_Port point-to-point topologies.
27 The \fBfp\fR driver is configured by defining properties in the \fBfp.conf\fR
28 file. Note that you must reboot the system to have any changes you make to
29 \fBfp.conf\fR take effect. The \fBfp\fR driver supports the following
38 Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on fibre channel devices with
39 the mpxio-disable property. Specifying mpxio-disable="no" activates I/O
40 multipathing, while mpxio-disable="yes" disables the feature. Solaris I/O
41 multipathing may be enabled or disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings
42 override the global setting for the specified ports. The following example
43 shows how to disable multipathing on port 0 whose parent is
44 /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4:
48 name="fp" parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4" port=0
58 \fBmanual_configuration_only\fR
62 Automatic configuration of SCSI devices in the fabric is enabled by default and
63 thus allows all devices discovered in the SAN zone to be enumerated in the
64 kernel's device tree automatically. The \fBmanual_configuration_only\fR
65 property may be configured to disable the default behavior and force the
66 manual configuration of the devices in the SAN. Specifying
67 manual_configuration_only=1 disables the automatic configuration of devices.
73 \fBpwwn-lun-blacklist\fR
77 Allows you to specify target port WWNs and LUN numbers you do not want
78 configured. LUN numbers are interpreted as decimals. White spaces and commas
79 (',') can be used in the list of LUN numbers.
85 # "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
87 # To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
88 # port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:

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