OCS_FC(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual OCS_FC(4) NAME ocs_fc -- Device driver for Emulex Fibre Channel Host Adapters SYNOPSIS To compile this driver into the kernel, add this line to the kernel configuration file: device ocs_fc To load the driver as a module at boot, add this line to loader.conf(5): ocs_fc_load="YES" DESCRIPTION The ocs_fc driver provides access to Fibre Channel SCSI devices. The ocs_fc driver supports initiator and target modes. Support is available for Arbitrated loops, Point-to-Point, and Fabric connections. FC-Tape is highly recommended for connections to tape drives that sup- port it. FC-Tape includes four elements from the T-10 FCP-4 specifica- tion: • Precise Delivery of Commands • Confirmed Completion of FCP I/O Operations • Retransmission of Unsuccessfully Transmitted IUs • Task Retry Identification Together these features allow for link level error recovery with tape devices. Without link level error recovery, an initiator cannot, for instance, tell whether a tape write command that has timed out resulted in all, part, or none of the data going to the tape drive. FC-Tape is automatically enabled when both the controller and target support it. HARDWARE The ocs_fc driver supports these Fibre Channel adapters: Emulex 16/8G FC GEN 5 HBAS LPe15004 FC Host Bus Adapters LPe160XX FC Host Bus Adapters Emulex 32/16G FC GEN 6 HBAS LPe3100X FC Host Bus Adapters LPe3200X FC Host Bus Adapters Emulex 64/32G FC GEN 7 HBAS LPe3500X FC Host Bus Adapters UPDATING FIRMWARE Adapter firmware updates are persistent. Firmware can be updated by following these steps: 1. Copy this code to a Makefile: KMOD=ocsflash FIRMWS=imagename.grp:ocsflash .include <bsd.kmod.mk> 2. Replace imagename with the name of the GRP file. 3. Copy the Makefile and GRP file to a local directory 4. Execute make and copy the generated ocsflash.ko file to /lib/modules 5. sysctl dev.ocs_fc.<N>.fw_upgrade=ocsflash 6. Check kernel messages regarding status of the operation 7. Reboot the machine BOOT OPTIONS Options are controlled by setting values in /boot/device.hints. They are: hint.ocs_fc.N.initiator Enable initiator functionality. Default 1 (enabled), 0 to dis- able. hint.ocs_fc.N.target Enable target functionality. Default 1 (enabled), 0 to dis- able. hint.ocs_fc.N.topology Topology: 0 for Auto, 1 for NPort only, 2 for Loop only. hint.ocs_fc.N.speed Link speed in megabits per second. Possible values include: 0 Auto-speed negotiation (default), 4000 (4GFC), 8000 (8GFC), 16000 (16GFC). SYSCTL OPTIONS dev.ocs_fc.N.port_state Port state (read/write).
