sli(4) and emulex LPe11000 dual FC card

[Paolo Aglialoro]

Hello,

just tried today on a sparc64 T1000 running 5.4 release the card, but,
unfortunately, sli(4) cannot configure it as dmesg says:


pci0 at vpci0
"Emulex LPe11000" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 not configured
"Emulex LPe11000" rev 0x02 at pci0 dev 0 function 1 not configured



The card is correctly seen by prom so this is not likely and
architecturally-dependent problem:




SC Alert: Host system has shut
down.

You need to compile a kernel with the sli driver. GENERIC and
GENERIC.MP on sparc64 don't include it by default.

That driver is incomplete. Even if you compile it in, you're not going
anywhere.

Hi Jim,

just today I had compiled the kernel (after fiddling with GENERIC and
sli_pci.c) with this result:

pci0 at vpci0
sli0 at pci0 dev 0 function 0 "Emulex LPe11000" rev 0x02: ivec 0x794
sli1 at pci0 dev 0 function 1 "Emulex LPe11000" rev 0x02: ivec 0x795

also I have:

# pcidump
Domain /dev/pci0:
2:0:0: Emulex LPe11000
2:0:1: Emulex LPe11000
Domain /dev/pci1:
2:0:0: ServerWorks PCIE-PCIX
3:4:0: Broadcom BCM5714
3:4:1: Broadcom BCM5714
3:8:0: ServerWorks HT-1000 PCIX
4:1:0: Broadcom BCM5704C
4:1:1: Broadcom BCM5704C
4:2:0: Symbios Logic SAS1064

but haven't tried yet to connect the box to a FC storage, as a colleague
should yet give me the correct cable.

Now, reading your mail, turned me completely off :(((
As far as I get it... I am alone in the desert... or is any light somewhere?

Sorry, I don't have any water for you. I started the sli driver many
years back with some guidance from ***@. Checking cvs, I see that was 6
years ago now. Clearly, I never got back to it.

To see just how incomplete the driver is, take a look here:
