This document uses examples for a Qlogic FC HBA Driver "qlc" but same applies to Emulex FC HBA Driver "emlxs" as well.

 

Oracle Qlogic fc hba cards are not seen after reboot

fcinfo hba-port  command returns "No Adapters Found."

 

Note: See "Solaris 11.x and above" section below if needed.

 

Changes

After some recent changes that removed entries from the /etc/driver_aliases file.

Note: Checking following files as well for any changes:

/etc/driver_classes
/etc/name_to_major

 

Executing a diff command between the original /etc/driver_aliases file and the new /etc/driver_aliases file and filtering out only entries with "qlc" (Oracle Qlogic FC HBA Driver) lists what was in original file "<"  vs what is left in the new file ">".

 


diff original.driver_aliases new.driver_aliases | grep qlc
